Pros Good looks, relatively light for its size, good colors, hidden side inputs
Cons Poor geometry, problem with the component input
Recommended it? No

Looks great and if you just want it for decor it will do a perfect job.

The problems. Before I start I want to tell you that I was very enthused about this tv and wanted to keep it so bad that I went through the trouble of trying 3 units before I finally gave up and also called Philips... Read full review »

Pros Price, Great Picture quality
Cons Lack of Options
Recommended it? Yes

A value priced Philips? Are you thinking a bad quality product with those words? This t.v. is value, as in a good value, not cheaply made. I think this television is a decent product, as long as you are using it for basic functions. Its silver, and looks good in a living room. Its features include:... Read full review »

Pros A lot of features, good horizontal resolution, nice inputs/outputs, digital comb filter.
Cons TV has to warm up for approx. 10 seconds before it comes on.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the revised version of my review of the Philips 27PT543S 27" TV. I'll try to make it better than the last one but I'm not guaranteeing anything.


It's all about the picture!

Yes, picture is a critical thing these days. I don't know the exact horizontal resolution, so... Read full review »

Great Buy

Pros Very inexpensive, bright/sharp picture, not horrible looking
Cons very deep and heavy....but it's a CRT, so what should you expect?
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this TV over 2 years ago (moved with it at least 3 times since then) and it is still working like the day i brought it home. The picture is bright and sharp, especially when I use the component inputs for DVD. I was a little worried about buying it because it was so inexpensive ($250 when... Read full review »

Excellent value in 27" TV

Pros Multiple inputs, including component for DVD 16:9 expansion option for letterbox...
Cons Screen geometry is not perfect Can not label channels
Recommended it? Yes

I was a little nervous about this purchase after reading several less than positive reviews on the internet. But at $180 after rebate it was clearly the best value for this size/feature set at Best Buy, so I decided to give it a try.
I was looking for an inexpensive TV for the bedroom, with... Read full review »

great picture, sound, awful high squeal

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Great picture/sound for the price. Nice features: sound leveler, favorites, voice options...
Cons A VERY ANNOYING high pitched squeal which sounds like a dog whistle!!
Recommended it? Yes

We've had the same console TV since we married over 20 years ago, and it's finally given out. We shopped around, checked out Consumer Reports, and finally bought one from Best Buy. I had my heart set on the Toshiba, about $20 more, but my husband was in love with the Philips sound quality and... Read full review »

Disappointing

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice picture quality
Cons TV dies long before it should
Recommended it? No

Worked great for a couple of years but started turning itself on/off. I heard it is a prevalent and widespread problem. I'd never buy a Philips again if they're not reputable enough to back up such a major problem. Read full review »

Save your money

Pros Good sound. Picture is okay when you get it.
Cons Poor product warranty.
Recommended it? No

Problem started 3 months after we purchased it. The picture won't stay on for more than 10 -15 minutes at a time. We get sound, NO PICTURE. Customer service was rude, warranty doesn't cover labor after 3 months (really believes in their product!!) Paid over $200, will cost $80-100 to fix! Read full review »

Pros Returned it no questions asked. In line, another one was in front of me.
Cons Dead on arrival.
Recommended it? No

I bought this TV at Costco for $199. It was dead on arrival. The screen was black. The green light on the front lit up, but that's all. Tech support wanted me to call someone for warranty service, but I just returned it. Read full review »
