Philips 37PF7320A 37-Inch Widescreen LCD HDtv
Excellent picture with sevral to improve
I bought this Lcd HDTV 37PF720A/37 about a month ago after around 2 wks research online by comparing all possible factors, including technologies (DLP, LCD projection, plasma, LCD flat panel), size, brands and prices. Finally I narrowed my choices down to the sony 42in. grand WEGA LCD projection TV, and this one, I finally got this one because it was on sale in COSTCO for $1700.  I really wanted to get a DLP TV for bigger size and lower price, but after compared the picture quality side by side with lcd tvs, and noticed the light bulb burned out issue since there are quite a few consumer complaints out there on the internet, so I got this one finally.    My experience with this TV:  Pros  1. Picture qulity (at least I have no complaint so far, I don't have cable or satellite right now, but Over the Air HD channels are crisp clear, and neither have I used it to watch DVD yet)  2. Setup was easy, just follow the instructions on screen (after flipping the remote a couple times , you will be able to get most of the features out, there are explanations along with the options, so it is easy.)  3. Great value (I am satisfied with what I get for the price paid, coz you don't expect a top to the line product for a low price)  4. You can download and use a usb drive to update your TV to the latest patch, I think that is pretty cool     Cons:  1. Turn on time and channel swithing time. It takes 13sec. to turn on the TV (I counted it several times between after I press the power button and before I see any picture)  2. No VGA pc input, to synchronize the TV with your pc, you may use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect if your computer's graphic card has that output (my pny Gefore5700LE has DVI and S-video TV out funciton, but who wants to have a S-video qulity on a HDTV?) For most laptops without those ports, you have to use the a transcoder/decoder to convert the signals, so it is ok for me, since my desktop is the media center, the laptop is just for work. (A graphic card and a decoder cost about the same)  3. USB1.1, I don't know what yr is it now, just can't figure out why philips puts a usb1.1 connection here, anyway when I plug my USB drive in, it recognizes it and can play jpeg and mp3 files, but really slow  4. Now I do think philips can do something more on the remote, more functions can be made to a one-touch button on the remote, since it is a bigoremote. For example, when you are viewing your jpeg files, you have to go back to the list to select the next picture you want to see then enlarge, it would be nice to have a \\"NEXT\\" button on it.    After using for about a month, I noticed the TV is clicking sometimes and the screen blacked out twice in one day, but now it seems the TV works fine. I will keep the firmware up to date to see if that would do anything    Since I just had it for a short time, more need to be experienced on this TV, and I will keep updating it.
