Philips 30PF9946 30-Inch WideScreen  HDTV-Ready LCD Flat-Panel TV
Not so Good, Not so Bad
I bought this TV in philips outlet for 750$. Used it for less than month now.  <br /> <br />Pros <br />---- <br />1. Cheap, inexpensive, TV for bedrooms or kitchen. <br />2. Picture quality seemed ok with HD , so far. <br />3. Look and Feel of the TV is good.  <br /> <br />Cons <br />---- <br />1. Only one HD-Analog connection (Component to VGA)  <br />* Beware of this, though the TV has component input, its not HD Capable unlike all other TVs. Philips gave a special Component to VGA cord, which can be used for regular dvd player progressive scan(480p). <br />2. Only one HD-Digital connection (HDMI) <br />3. Though the TV says 16:9, I can only see 15:9 in wide screen format. <br />4. Black levels are not as dark, it may be scenario with all LCD TVs. Plasmas has dark black levels. <br />5. Poor and long waiting on customer service. I think philips should consider outsourcing customer service, instead of torturing customers with long waits. <br />6. Very badly packaged, so open the package cautiously. <br />7. Wall mountable is included, but it is not tiltable. <br />8. Very very annoyingly poorly written manual, dont expect anything from it. <br />
