Philips 30PW850H 30" Widescreen HDTV-Ready TV
4.5 stars
I recently decided to upgrade my tv viewing experience but I did not want to go crazy in the wallet nor buy a product that may be outdated relatively soon.  After seeing this tv advertised rather reasonably around town and online, I did some further homework and went through a refurbished company which also involved me getting some additional information.  Costs may continue to go down but as of this date, getting a 30&quot; widescreen, flatscreen, HD ready with a fine picture and a quality manufacturer starting under $1,000 (and likely to find considerably less) with more than enough connections for the average user - this is a steal!<BR>First glance (upon plugging it in) I was overwhelmed and to know that I can use this for HD as well was the icing on the cake. Plus, the features (6 screen sizes) and sound options make it more enjoyable for each user and their respective programming.<BR>With technology heading more and more in the direction of digital and widescreen formats, and without having to take up an entire portion of your living room, if you do not want to go overboard but still want the advantages of today's televisions, then this my friend is the place to start.<BR>Truly satisfied and look forward to football season next year.<BR>(opinion may be somewhat above average due to reviewer never owning more than a 19&quot; tv set prior to this one)
