    • Comments:
      The Philips 42PF9631D 42-inch plasma HDTV is an intriguing and beautiful work of art with its wide black bezel, silvery speakers and semi-transparent stand. Looking closely, you'll find more to admire with its easy to reach and well-chosen inputs and outp...

    • Product Rating: 3.3 star(s) Philips 37PF9631D
      by David Katzmaier
    • Pros: Built-in backlighting can help reduce eyestrain; produced a deep color of black; uniform picture across the screen with wide viewing angle; attractive design.
    • Cons: Inaccurate color; only one HDMI input and no dedicated PC input; cannot change aspect ratios with HD sources; no independent input memories; side-mounted speakers increase width.
    • Comments:
      Philips has, by now, established its maverick street cred by installing Ambilight on a large number of its flat-panel HDTVs. The 37-inch 37PF9631D LCD TV is one of the least expensive, and its back panel does indeed bear those two multicolored banks of fl...

    • Product Rating: 3.45 star(s) Philips 42PF9631D
      by David Katzmaier
    • Pros: Reproduces deep color of black; relatively accurate initial color temperature; built-in backlighting can help reduce eyestrain; sleek design with glass-base stand.
    • Cons: False contouring visible in some scenes; inaccurate color decoding; cannot change aspect ratios with HD sources; no independent input memories; no dedicated PC input; relatively large.
    • Comments:
      Philips's flat TVs have always brought unique designs to the table, and for the last couple of years, they've usually included a feature that's completely unique to the Dutch company: Ambilight. These back-mounted fluorescent lights can be set to display...

    • Philips 32PF9631D Cineos - Gadget Guy Australia
      by Thomas Bartlett
    • Pros: Excellent picture performance, gotta love that USB multimedia support, well-thought out controls.
    • Cons: Some extra features, such as Ambilight and Digital Natural Motion of doubtful utility; no 1080p support.
    • Comments:
