Philips 15PT6807/INCRED

...was easy, as with all Philips products from past experience. The picture quality is second to none, and sound quality is very good too. The product itself feels well made, and looks good. The screen size is 15" and flat, which again adds to the picture quality.

When I was initially looking for a DVD/TV combi, I researched well and ended up buying this TV from Amazon for £149.99 including delivery, which was the cheapest and best quality for that price around.

It arrived in a couple of days and I couldn't wait to get it installed and set up. Set up was easy, as with all Philips products from past experience. The picture quality is second to none, and sound quality is very good too. The product itself feels well made, and looks good. The screen size is 15" and flat, which again adds to the picture quality.

I put in a DVD and it played well, again I was pleased with the quality of the product, and over the course of the following month (Jan - Feb 2005) we played many DVDs on the TV and had no problems whatsoever, until.....

We put in a DVD a month after purchase and the screen flickered and sound was jumpy. The system would not eject the DVD. The DVD player itself didn't sound as it should, rather than whirring away, it was labouring, and groaning.

After switching the unit off and back on, I managed to eject the CD by using the remote control, as the open/close button on the TV would not work. I returned this item to Amazon for a replacement, as I was pleased with the product itself, and a new one arrived within the week.

I immediately set it up again, and put a DVD in. It played ok. A week later I put in another DVD (a different one, not been played on either TV before) and again, we got the black flickery screen, choppy sound (if at all), and groaning DVD player. I sent it back for a refund, which was extremely prompt, and are now looking for a new TV/DVD, but not this one!!!!! Sorry Philips! I have now noticed on Amazon's website that many people have experienced similar incidents over the last couple of months with the same product, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated case.
