Ahh Phillips CRT TVs were one of the best of their kind, in both picture quality and sound. Picture is all important to me and other than Pioneer and Panasonic modern LCD/Plasmas, not many others have reached the picture quality standard as the old CRT TV's did. However, this is superseded by Blu-ray and true HD for obvious reasons.
You can connect external sound to it but you would not be able to use Phillip's own sound circuitry to control the volume unless it is a Philips brand. Motion and crispness of picture is second to none, with no flicker, it seemlesses plays documentaries at excellent detail. Add to this 100hz technology and possibly Phillips pixel plus, you have an excellent TV which, in my view, lasts and perfoms better than modern LCDs. Nevertheless, it is a great buy, and great to watvh in the comfort of your own home.
Features: Pixel plus (on specific models) - enhances the picture by increasing the pixels by 33% creating sharper cleary pictures. 100hz - flicker free Dolby digital, virtual 3d surround and auto volume level as well as graphic equaliser. Dynamic motion - for more smoother feel to movies. Dynamic contrast : compensates the lighting conditions of the room to adjust the picture accordingly
This is a great TV of its time, and if you are not fashion conscious or even concerned of HD at this stage, then this offers a basic good value for money plus a brilliant picture to boot. Remember, with the push on HD and large LCDs/plasmas because they 'look good', these TV's can be bought relatively cheaply, especially if second hand. New ones are more difficult to get hold of because manufacturers are not really making many although they are making some.
