| 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. |
An excellent 32-inch HDTV...

As a satisfied 12-month-owner of a Philips 42-inch HDTV (the Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV), I purchased the Philips 32PFL6704D/F7 to replace an old tube TV in the bedroom. I'm very pleased with the styling, picture and sound of this set - it fits the room just right.
I had noticed a few customer reviews of this model complaining about difficulty in getting proper color settings for flesh-tones, but based upon a greater number of exemplary reviews and my own experience with this Philips product line, I bought it unseen via Amazon. Sure enough, when the TV was setup, I wasn't pleased with the tint of people's faces... I tweaked the color settings for a bit, and figured I could get it right eventually before deciding to call Philips.
Before calling, I went online to Philips' support site and found that a firmware update, v1.08, had just been released about two weeks earlier. The TV came from Amazon with v1.06 loaded, so I updated the firmware and found the default picture color much improved (although the release notes didn't refer to any such issue being fixed). Could be I was imagining the color issues, could be some screwed-up factory settings were nicely reset by the firmware upgrade process, but as of now I'm quite happy with this product. |

I thought of buying Samsung 32" 120Hz TV. But considering the price, I decided to try this one. I thought, in the worst case, I could have returned it (With my past experience, I have full faith on Amazon).
My only complain with this TV is, I could not figure it out, using it as a computer monitor. I tried with a VGA to HDMI cable but it didn't work. My computer doesn't have any DVI or HDMI port, only VGA output.
I am impressed with the picture quality. It is so sharp and vivid that there is no doubt that buying this TV was a very good decision. Sound quality is ok.
Pros:
*Amazing picture quality, extremely sharp and smooth, Vivid color.
*4 HDMI Inputs
*USB input.
Cons:
*It has 4 HDMI inputs but doesn't have any VGA/PC input. Though I had a VGA to VGA cable but I had to buy a VGA to HDMI cable, but it didn't work.
* It doesn't have any optical digital audio output. It has coaxial digital audio out.

I bought this TV because it was the biggest that would fit in
my Dad's entertainment center. I had already bought a Samsung that only
worked for an hour.
My only complaint is that this TV has such a realistic picture
that you have to get used to how much different it looks, it is almost
as if you were there filming. My dad only has standard definition cable, but
I could tell a huge difference in quality of picture, and have not had any of the complaints of other people buying this TV. As far as I have seen this TV has had the best picture of any I have used, being enclosed in the TV cabinet the volume is usually needed to be higher than normal to hear as the speakers are behind the TV, but no problems. My dad loves this new TV and I wish my phillips 32" (720p) would have fit in his cabinet, so that I could have keep it for myself, oh well, sadly I paid the same thing for my 720p Phillips two years ago, As I turned them on side by side, and the 120 hz 1080p blew it away even with standard cable. Wow, 120hz is AWESOME!!!
I shopped around, and amazon had the lowest price, and shipping was as expected. Thanks Amazon, you did me good on this one! |
Excellent

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. |
