Philips 37PF7320A 37-Inch Widescreen LCD HDtv
Okay now...but a bad first impression...
Okay, so I buy this TV, right?  I hook everything up, position it perfectly in the room, then I fire it up.  I do the channel auto scan [a joke] and as I begin poking through the other settings I realize that I don't hear anything...ANYTHING!  No sound at all.  I call Philips, and their technical support was a joke.  After transferring me a few times to the \\"area that can help me\\" I was referred to a authorized service center in my area.  Huh?  This TV is new?<br /><br />Don't get me started on the 'proof' of warranty debacle.<br /><br />Anyway...since I am somewhat savvy, I went to the Philips site and downloaded the latest firmware.  I put it on a compact flash card/USB card reader combo, and plugged it into the side of the TV and powered the TV back on.  The firmware loaded automatically, and I had sound after powering the TV off then on again.  Whew!<br /><br />You always learn about a company when you have to contact them for a problem.  I love Philips' designs--very clean and elegant--but they lost a point here.<br /><br />The screen is great but some cable and most OnDemand (Comcast) programming look awfully pixelated.  I know that's not the TV's fault.  Multiple picture settings (personal, multimedia, movies, etc.) are available to fine tune poorer quality signals.  HDTV on air programming is flawless...just flawless.<br /><br />Sound is impressive, with decent bass response.  Multiple sound settings too (voice, movies, etc.)<br /><br />A plethora of inputs...which I need.  Two HDMI, but no DVI?  Go figure.<br /><br />Minus one star for the poor customer support.
