Philips 37PF9946

Advantages: Good Picture Quality, Wall Mount Kit Included, Good Design
Disadvantages: Not HD ready

I purchased a 37" Philips plasma TV after looking for a wall mountable TV that wouldn't dwarf my living room but also wouldn't look too small. In the end my decision was made after getting a good deal at my local Co-op which enabled me to get a price match plus an extra 10% any high street price. The TV was advertised for £2300 in Comet and I took the brochure to the Co-op who incidentally had the same TV advertised for £2800. After the price match ...
...asked if I wanted a Philips DVD recorder for £69 which retailed at £269, I jumped at the chance. To make the deal even sweeter they also did 2 years interest free credit which I gladly accepted and left my cash in the bank making interest. The TV itself is impressively large without being ridiculous, it also came with a wall mount bracket which was a bonus, as the Sony model I'd looked at required an optional £400 bracket. The TV was delivered ...

Advantages: Plasma is viewable from nearly every angle
Disadvantages: you cant sit on it

Firstly, I am going to try to convince all my fellow ciao members, out there, That every one should have a Plasma screen T.V And that my choice of Phillips FlatTV 42" Plasma Screen, is second to none. I believe every home should have one. It started last Christmas, 2004 We were having to have New year's eve at home, in our average size two bedroom flat, That I occupy as a live in warden for the elderly. In sheltered Housing accommodation. we ...
...or should I say Mr Musselwhite has!!!! having moved to our flat and selling our nice big three bedroom house, understandably we were limited for space. we wouldn't have left home with out our 32" wide screen T.V complete with Oak Cabinet, BUT!! We were all cramped up. Feeling Low, as we anticipated New Years Eve with the parents, at our home, we plodded around Comet superstore. OUR LOVE AFFAIR BEGAN !!!!! There it was our Phillips 42" Plasma ...

£720 for 42"? Thats £17.14 per inch!

Advantages: jaw dropping picture & colour depth, mind blowing sound, lots of plugs and sockets, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: no headphones socket

...televsion I jumped at the Philips 42 PF 5421 despite the £720 pricetag as the first time I clapped eyes on it the price was an eye watering £1500. Oh how prices have fallen, I'm glad I waited. The Philips 42 PF 5421 has a 42" HD ready widescreen plasma display and comes as a complete unit, so far as it doesn't have a stand as such, but sits on a support strut. This is good for me as I have a DVD cabinet that the television slots onto very nicely ...
...Mt mate has just bought a 72" widescreen and in comparison to the Philips 42 PF 5421 it is the poor relative. Size might be important to some, but now I have the quality I'll be sticking with it. You can't go wrong with this baby, its the bees knees. ...

An excellent performer

Advantages: Pixel Plus 2, picture & sound quality
Disadvantages: Initial set up, large remote control

Let me first say that I'm not a home cinema / entertainment expert, I'm not going to fill this review with technical specs and data. I bought this screen based on three factors: press reviews, looks and price so what I will be saying is based on my ownership experience. I can't compare it with others like the magazines can but I can tell you what it's like to use and its plus & minus points. Immediately contradicting myself, there are some specs ...
...speaker Ambilight Progressive Scan Pixel Plus 2 Scarts: 3 (2 x RGB) DVI in HD Ready I've picked out these specs (there are many others) as I think they are the ones that are relevant for the average domestic user. Size: With a 42 inch screen this is a big TV, but being a plasma is only a couple of inches deep. This means that although the screen is significantly larger than my old 32" CRT it can sit much deeper into the corner of the room ...
