Philips 27PT830H 27" Flat-Screen HD-Ready TV
Philips Manufacturers Warranty is a Joke!
I purchased this TV February 9, 2004.  I still haven't viewed a single program to date (April 2).  This product is not covered by Amazon (27&quot; and over), and Philips still have not returned my E-mails.  I received this TV on February 11, 2004 in an undamaged box.  After reading instructions, I plugged in the TV and turned it on.  Nothing, called Philips customer service (note: there customer service is located overseas in India, and if you ask a question that is not on their list of possible questions, expect a lot of confusion and bewilderment) where I was told to call a local approved service center.  The service center picked up the TV February 17, and to this day there it sits.  Philips has still not sent the replacement parts in able to Refurbish this TV.  The warranty states that an item will be fixed (refurbished if it never worked in the first place) or replaced.  What happened to replaced?  I guess Philips thinks its acceptable to have its customers wait months to take care of a problem, instead of sending out a replacement.  I was extremely patient at first.  Now my patience is gone.  Look elseware for a TV.  I wish I had.  Maybe this review will save some other sucker from the hoop jumping that I have been going through.  Philips USA 1, consumer 0.<br />P.S.<br />If I ever receive the product (there is a nice TV where the Philips was supposed to go), I'll let everyone know how it is.
