General Philips TV Opinions

I purchased a 26" Philips TV for the bedroom about a year ago now from John Lewis. Coming with the 5 year warranty, this was well worth spending the extra £50 to the cheapest price I cuold find elsewhere. Knowing that I can watch a HD DVD in bed on my 26" television (which is more than sufficient for the bedroom), and if anything breaks it'll be under warranty for the next 4 years, is a good bit of peace of mind. Most retailers charge £5 a month anyway for extended warranties, so within 10 months the extra £50 has paid for itself, over 5 years this would have actually saved me £200! I lvoe the TVs design and simplicity, keeping ...  Read the complete review

I have a 15" widescreen LCD Philips TV, it was about £270 a couple of summers ago. I have had absolutely no problems with it. It has good picture quality, good sound and is rather stylish. he speakers are on each side of the screen and there are a couple of small lights at the bottom left speaker. The buttons are hidden along the top of the TV and are easy to distinguish and press. The connections are all hidden on the back under the TV tube, they are rather awkward to get to but easy enough to set up. It could do with another scart connection though. The picture is a bit fuzzy every now and then, but I think that's the terrible signal we get. Also, I ...  Read the complete review

If you are thinking of purchasing a new 21" television, then this review of the Philips 21PT5505 may come in useful. The Philips 21PT5505 is available in silver and features a 21" Pure Flat screen with stereo speakers to the side. The first thing you notice about the Philips 21PT5505 is it's ultra modern design, although it looks completely square and flat when viewed from the front, it's sleek curved sides make this television look as good from the side as it does from the front which is very rare with television sets. Another good thing about the Philips 21PT5505 is the location of the Volume and Channel controls which are ...  Read the complete review

Well, I checked ALL of the magazines and consumer reports, even the net, before selecting a 32 inch widescreen Philips flat tv. It seemed super until I noticed the 2 inch band of total out of focus at either side (very noticable when any graphics are on screen, as with Sky, or channel logos - also on teletext). This resulted in a "double vision" effect which was unbearable. The tv repairman arrived (I had the set all of one day!!!), and said that this was a general fault with some Philips sets which <quote> "some people are not bothered about, as they just think its normal". When pressed he said that he had picked up 4 of the same ...  Read the complete review
