I originally bought a Samsung PS50Q97HDX but was so disappointed I sent it back. The Philips is in a different league and is a winner. I am only talking about picture quality here, sound is crap but I use theatre surround so not a problem, the remote has to be seen to believed, totally cheap nasty garbage. But the important point is the image quality and this far out ways any other misgivings. I was amazed at the difference between this display and the Samsung. The image is virtually artefact free, unlike the Samsung which was like watching a piece of cubist art! As I have hundreds of DVDs which I have no intention of replacing for Blue Ray, this Plasma fits the bill. It has progressive scan and 1080i signal, none of which the Samsung has. This all adds to the quality. I would highly recommend this display for the price. So turn the lights off, crank up the volume and experience the nearest thing to cinema, fantastic kit.
(5 out of 5)Excellent while you have it!
Cannot agree more with the previous review. Picture quality is second to none, however the sound is rather 'tinny' at times. It must be said as with any HD Ready set that when viewing non HD transmission, low settings should be utilised to 'soften' the image. On the downside, there was one instance where the TV had to return to the manufacturer as one day the picture didn't come on. This was resolved as far as I know.
My ex-girlfriend solved the problem for me by chucking me out of the house at Christmas and taking custody of the TV so hopefully it will break in the future, taking the washing machine, DVD, kettle and toaster with it...! Not bitter though....
