Advantages: Picture, Sound, Design Disadvantages: None as of yet
Where should i start, well i purchased this television about a week ago and so far i am very pleased with my purchase.
The television is a philips so thats one good thing, as philips are known for excellent picture technologies and actuall picture displays, this television for a start uses the technology "Crystal Clear III" which is a technology that is a combination of three diffrent features, Dynamic Contrast, 2D Comb Filter and SCAVEM...
Dynamic Contrast ensures that your TV picture always has the optimum contrast by analysing the picture 25 times a second and instantly optimising the contrast in those parts of the picture where it is necessary.

The onboard sound is good, Dolby and all, if you like to watch DVDs then you may want to think about additional surround sound/cinema system.
One criticism, and I have seen this with a few of my previous "tellys" from this manufacturer, is the on/off switch is not ...
Advantages: Picture quality and features Disadvantages: Expensive and poor remote
A very expensive TV, picture quality and features are surberb, but a few small problems. Before this set I had a conventional 28 inch television, in wide screen 28 inch is too small.
