Philips 32PF5320 32-Inch Widescreen LCD HD-Ready TV
Problem with explosions!
First, the Amazon description is wrong - this model does not have a Cable Card slot.  Bought mine at Sam's Club.  Out of the box, and set up in about 15 minutes - stand screws to the TV with 4 screws, very stable, clean look.  Plugged in DVD via component video - MI2 looks great, great picture.  Problem is when playing movie with sudden light bursts (lasers in Star Wars IV, T2).  Screen goes black and does not recover for 1-3 seconds.  Called Philips, they had me try hooking it through composite video, and it works fine.  So their question was \\"is it the DVD player output or the TV input?\\"  Well, since the DVD player worked fine through a CRT TV with component video before this, and I am using the same cables... I suspect it is probably the TV.  I tried going through the CVI 2 also, using their supplied cable through the PC/CVI 2 connector, but the same problem.  Since the input works fine for the rest of the movie, I am beginning to suspect that it is not a connector issue, but a processor issue in the TV. I even tried the Star Wars movie on a cheap portable DVD player, and it played fine, so it is not the disc.  Philips told me they have no service center near Denver, so they could not send anyone to check it out in house, told me to try another DVD player or return it.   <br /> <br />Other thing I noticed is that when receiving regular OTA channels (no HDTV tuner in TV), it takes a few seconds after changing channels for the TV to adjust colors, usually to darken them.  I could live with that, since I suspect that hooking up HDTV tuner through the HDMI would cure that issue.   <br /> <br />Color is rich, sound is very good from the side speakers.  Nice looking unit.  I like that the connectors are underneath, so cables don't stick out from behind the TV, but come up from below and are protected.  Remote is small, easy to use and well laid out.
