Philips 27PT6441 27" Stereo TV with QuadraSurf Remote and RealFlat Screen
Not such a good deal after all.
<br /> I wish I had done this simple search before I bought this television. I can't believe so many others have had the same problem and that Philips has done nothing to recall it. I purchased mine in Oct 2004 got it home, started to unpack and found that a corner of the TV had been crushed during shipment or sitting in the warehouse. Ok I know this isn't the fault the company but loading this giant box back into my vehicle and then dragging it back into the store was not a good start. Once I got my new TV home unpacked and hooked up I found that it had a five or so second delay in turning on after you hit power. The picture and sound were great so I didn't think much about it until Sept 17, 2005 when it wouldn't turn on at all. I have contacts Philips and gave them my opinion of a TV that only lasts for ten months before needing repair and they have requested a copy of the receipt of purchase and the name of the service outlet that I took it to. Hopefully this means that they are considering covering my labor costs. I will make a follow up once all is done. <br />
