 I bought a Philips TV. My mistake. Dec 29, 2009
{I have had this Philips TV for over a year now}
I spent a lot of time researching the 52" TVs available. I knew which one I wanted, it was a Vizio Gallevia. I had tested and run through the operations of the Gallevia at the local Sams Club but they only had the display model and no box or carton for delivery and they would not deliver it.. So I drove 45 minutes to the closest Sams club which had one in the carton to sell. When I arrived {10 minutes before closing time}, they had that TV and this Philips but the Philips had higher resolution specs so I decided that even though I had driven 45 minutes to buy the Vizio and even though the Philips was more than $[...] more.. I would buy the Philips. A ten minute impulse decision after more than two weeks of research. ... What a colossal mistake!
This may sound biased and you had better believe it is!
The Philips 52PFL7422D/37: Takes over a minute to turn on, does not change channels fast, freaks out if you accidentally go to a channel that doesn't have service {it takes two minutes to recover from that}, has generally poor picture quality, has no tolerance for outside light, does not have the anti-glare screen, always has motion issues where the red blue do not keep up when a person moves across the picture {their resolution rating was B.S.}, it also has crappy speakers which you cannot turn off, no control of the line audio output{you hook up to the outputs and they are full output all the time}, the remote control does not light up. {the Vizio did and I knew it!}, the volume and channel display is in blue in the top of the screen... the same color blue as most skies in most TV shows!... [you can't friggin see it!!], and it doesn't have picture in picture!... {the Vizio did}
I really should have taken it back but I was too busy and it is too heavy.. so I just left it on the wall. When I watch it I pretend there are no adjustments.. that way I won't get too bothered about it. Honestly, sometimes I just turn it off regardless of whether or not I am watching something. You do not want this annoyance, and you should not kid yourself. I seriously doubt they changed.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
Good luck with your purchase!
And to Philips, if you want to right the wrongs of this crappy ass TV, feel free to come exchange it for one which is worth the $[...] I paid.

 Don't walk, RUN from this product! Oct 20, 2009
Great T.V. that we bought direct from Philips. Didn't worry about an extended warranty because we weren't offered one. We have bought other Philips products in the past and never bothered to look at online reviews. I really wish I had. We had the t.v for exactly 15 months, and it broke. Customer Service is a nightmare. "No warranty, no service!" $150.00 later, after having to hunt down a "certified repair center", pay them to come out to get the set, then diagonse that it's the LCD itself. The tech laughed at me when I told him it was a Philips to begin with. I wasn't too surprised when they came back with the diagnosis after he explained that Philips should not be manufacturing any T.V. period. They've seen this way too many times with the Plasma and LCD t.v.'s since 2005. No parts, no service, no way to fix what's broken without basically purchasing a whole new television. To add insult to injury, I now have to pay to dump it. We're very upset that we paid so much for what amounts to a giant paper weight. Do NOT buy Philips if you don't want to waste an enormous amount of money! If you do, I'll most likely see you in about 7-15 months (if you're lucky!) from now adding your negative review to this site. =(

Defective Display Panel(s) Mar 18, 2009
I bought this in 5/08.
In 2/09 the right 1/3 of my screen went black. The repair shop replaced the display panel. When the repairman brought it back and turned it on, the screen had a washboard effect. He took it back and confirmed that the new display panel was defective too. It has now been in the repair shop for over a month. The display panel is on backorder and they cannot tell me when it will be shipped. If anyone from Philips is reading this see ref# 7JW76.
I can't help but think that some other defective component is damaging the display panel.
 Great TV Mar 07, 2009
I did research for over fours month before I bought this TV. I saw this pop up in an ad for 1200 and after reading reviews, scoped it right up. I've had it for just about two months now and have not had one problem with the tv at all. On to the details. . .
I'm a techie type of guy, I like TV's, surround sound systems / computers etc. However I am a techie guy on a budget. I read a lot about this model and was concerned about it first being introduced around July 07. I know that they are probably not making more of these so in theory you are getting a dated model - one year in the TV world is a long time. I went to see the TV in the store and was not impressed with the picture very much at all - I took a leap of faith and bought it hoping that the store was messing with image. I can say after a few months of use I am VERY satisfied with this TV so far. For under 1350.00 how else can you get a 52" 1080 LCD hdtv? The price is right. Keep in mind it is an older model and the only issues I have with the picture is it doesn't look fantastic when viewed up close ( with-in three feet), then again only the $2,500 samsungs do. If you are viewing this TV from a distance (which you should be), you will be happy with the picture. I have a small apartment and watch it from only 8 feet away. Everyone that comes over talks about how freaking cool this tv looks (picture wise).
The TV has three hdmi inputs in the back and does seem to literally be a dust magnet, but I wouldn't give her up for the world - I love this TV,
It has a few "settings' that you can tinker with, but I'm no idiot. All the setting seem to really do is make the image look bad when you turn them off. Why would a TV company do that? To make you think they have cool options that inprove the picture. I think these are designed to trick people into thinking "why look how much better those extra settings make the TV look".
I look past that trickery when I enjoy this TV.
If you are looking for a huge HDTV screen on a budget (and dont want to settle with the lame 720 plasmas) - this is your tv!

Nice Value Apr 13, 2008
i bought this television about a month ago. i bought a refurbished from the manufacturer for a greatly reduced cost ($1,400) but that's beside the point. the television is great for the cost even if you buy it new from Amazon -- a nice price as well. the first thing i'd do is go to AVS forums and search for this television to get the various setting codes for the picture. that'll save you a lot of time. next, get a surround sound system as the speakers on this television are barely adequate (i went with Onkyo and am happy). a universal remote is a must (Logitech Harmony is the way to go -- again, i bought a 659 refurbished here on Amazon for about $40 -- great remote).
i sit about 11 - 12 feet away and we play the Wii from about 8 feet. both seem just right. i watched the NCAA tourney in HD last week and the Master's Golf tourney this week. i notice that the standard definition channels don't look very good. in fact, i think my old television upstairs looks much better on standard definition. so i am only watching HD programming on this LCD. if i had to watch a lot of standard definition programming then i probably wouldn't have bought this television and i might have given it 3 or 4 stars instead. on the other hand, the deal was too good to pass up and HD looks just terrific.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
