Every Philips product I have ever owned has been hassle. Either you can't get spares or lousy service. Even a phone... after three years they no longer made the rechargeable batteries... etc... etc. I have not bought anything by Philips for maybe 5 years now, which has worked out great. Then someone actually gave us a 42" plasma... should have said no thanks 'cos, it was no surprise when plasma just stopped. Has power indicator but just DEAD DEAD DEAD. Don't buy anything from Philips.... not a screen, a dvd, a cd, not even a battery. It will break! Search the net ref thes plasmas... you will find many many frustrated owners and stories of terrible customer support.

My selections below are based on its condition now... which is defunct!

Well, well, now we know why someone GAVE you a 42" plasma !!?? - lol - but really a review here, needs to contain a few more facts about the TV and what it should be able to do etc. You will not find many folk who will appreciate a blanket criticsm of Philips products - we all have some, and many do work well - anyway, welcome to Ciao - hope you grow to enjoy the experience ! - T
