I don't normally write reviews for any of the products I purchase but felt the need to say something about this TV which thus far has been one of my most satisfying $500+ purchases. For starters, there are not too many 1080p 32" TVs out there. Most are 720p and yet cost just as much as this Philips, if not more. I am simply amazed with the quality of the picture and even the sound from the rear facing speakers. My PS3 games look fantastic on this 120Hz screen. There are 4 HDMI inputs which is plenty for many. All settings are a breeze to adjust. Cant go wrong with this TV and thus far, Philips has not disappointed me as my DVD player and several other components are from them also. No need to pay the premium for Sony or Samsung.

I use this with my Xbox 360 elite via HDMI 1080p, Netflix streaming looks very good and the in game text is extremely sharp, 120Hz is also nice. I also recently the "Philips HTS3565D/37 1000 Watt DVD 1080P HDMI Upconversion Dolby Home Theater with iPod Dock" at Walmart and the DVD sound and video quality is superb. I also plan to hook up my macbook at 1080p. The Wii is ok... not much better or worse than my standard def tv. I have owned this tv for about a month and am very happy with it.

Purchased my Philips HDTV at my local Costo store in Anchorage , Alaska yesterday for $599 with a extended three year warrantee because we used our AX credit card . Set it up yesterday and it pretty much went as the other two reviews said . Other friends who purchased HDTVs lately suggested that we allow for a couple week burn - in period before fine tuning our set . And the set this morning is still running fine . What was curious when we paid for it at the checkout stand was the clerk said to save the original box for a month or so because their local Costco store had been getting a lot of Vizio's back lately . Am now looking at Philips DVD VHS combo players to hook up to this set later . Prices seem to be right on those too plus there shouldn't be a compatibility issue . Really appreciate the other two excellent reviews . Reading those and Costco's usual excellent warrantee service on any other products I've taken back to them made the difference in my purchase . I was looking at

I purchased this television at my local Costco for $599. I had been shopping for a Samsung 650 32", and the price and options on this television changed my mind. The remote is a bit cheesey, with green, blue, red and yellow buttons used throughout the set-up, however, after playing around with the pre-configured "picture preference" screens, I was happy with the picture I received. The picture is not the creme-of-the-crop in all LCD's, but it is much nicer then most of the bargain brand tv's (Vizio etc.) The 120hz feature is where this television shines. I believe that the 120hz is better on this tv then the samsung. Where the latter failed to give that smooth frame rate on the 32", the Philips set really shines here. The picture is so sharp I could tell the difference between real and soundstage backhgrounds! The downside, the TV has a tendency to over highlight faces in interviews and gives a slightly overexposed look to some frames. Sound - a B+ - a bit tinny, but what you

Buying this Philips makes me feel like a bit of a pioneer; there are no reviews of this fairly new set ... at least any I could find.
Compared to other 32-inchers, the specs on the 32PFL6704D/F7 (who names these things?) are pretty impressive given its price-point: 1080p, 120hz and a 2ms response time. Costco prices it at $599 -- about $200 below the MSRP, and about $100 below Dell and Amazon. (Put these specs on a Sony or Samsung and you'll pay about $900, even at the online discounters.)
Setup was breezy, and the side-by-side picture quality tool that confronts you on the first boot-up seems pretty handy. You're asked to pick a side of the TV that looks the best, and through a series of 5 or 6 screens the TV determines your preferences. It could be a gimmick, though, because there's the usual array of color, sharpness, tint and other tweaks in the options menu.
It took about two minutes for the internal tuner to snap up all the HD-broadcasting stations in the Kansas City area using
