I have a friend with same equipment where the picture quality is completelly
different.

I send it to repair after 8 month due to startup problems (never switch on
from standby state) and sometimes switch on with out sound. I need to push
the mechanical button. It produced a big in rush power consumption during
startup which disconect the general house main fuse (10Amp) dedicated line
only for TV and radio equipment. I had to put a filter main plug and problems
disapeard.

After 25 months I send it to repair again to adjust the color and brigthness.
Philips assitance told me that was a problem with LCD and is out of garantie,
they did the maximum readjustment possible but it will be never Ok due to defect
LCD. The picture quality was always very poor.

Now after 2y and half whent dead- screen completelly black but the
sound cames out and the sound changes according with channel change.
Aways without picture from TV or PC source neigther menu screen (blue).problems (never switch on from standby state) and sometimes switch on with out sound. I need to push the mechanical button. After 2y I send it to repair again to adjust the color and brigthness. Now after 2y and half whent dead- black screen but the sound cames out and the sound changes according with channel change, but always without picture.

Review of Philips 30PF9946 by eandi129

Bought Oct 2004 from Currys Ģ1800 (table & dvd total 2400) Did not take out 650 insurance but thought it should have lasted longer than 18 months Stopped working 18 months later - screen went red/black They have problem with Hercules chip but will not admit (Source - two Phillips engineers - confirmed that chip affects whole panel) Phillips customer service - totally inadequate - still not resolved Also know of two other people who have had problems - one at 12 months and the other after 2 weeks Will never buy another Phillips product Currys were fantastic all through the experience
