Philips 27PT6441 27" Stereo TV with QuadraSurf Remote and RealFlat Screen
Best free TV I've ever had
Someone must have read the reviews here, because when theirs went dead, they left it near the recycle bin. I took it home, bought a box of fuses for $2.50, put one in and it seems to be working fine.<br /><br />Who knows how long it will last, but so far I have no complaints. It looks good, works fine. Picture is sharp and bright, sound is good, lots of plugs in the back and on the side.<br /><br />From what I can tell, the only design problem is that the fuse and the required current have inadequate margin. If the only problem is that I have to replace the fuse every year, that's  not a big deal.<br /><br />A word of warning though: Taking the back off a television can be more dangerous than you think. Just touching some things, even if it's unplugged, can damage the set or injure you seriously. I'm not joking. If you're not absolutely certain that you know what you're doing, take it to a shop and offer them $15 to change the fuse and nothing else. No need to pay more than that.<br /><br />UPDATE, March 2011: Five years later and it's still going strong. Great picture, great sound, and it's still running on that first replacement fuse I bought.<br /><br />UPDATE, September 2013: Well, it finally happened - the replacement fuse blew out. Fortunately, I still had four left from the package of five I originally bought. I replaced the fuse and the TV is as good as new. I hope this one lasts another 7 1/2 years.
