Philips 30PW9100D 30" Widescreen HDtv
Wonderful color
I'm sorry the previous reviewer had a bad experience with Philips, I however have had great luck with this brand. <br /> <br /> I have had 3 Philips Televisions, (each progressivly larger) and when I decided to transistion to an HDTV I was looking at all the sets side by side, and actually did like the Philips, and Samsung pictures the best. However the Philips was the least expensive, and I have had good luck with them.  <br /> <br />  The set is large and heavy, so be ready for that. When I plugged it in, and programmed the channels, I founnd about 10 that I didn't know I had, and they were the HD channels. Well I watched a PBS channel, (WGBH in Boston) and I was wowed! it was a documentary on squids and octopi in the ocean, and the colors were fantastic, and the sharpness was unbelieveable. You almost could imagine reaching out to touch what was on the screen. What's neat is your seeing DVD quality television shows through cable. And while I'm speaking of DVD's, when I watch my movies on that medium, the picture quality is better than that on a standard television. SO you will love this set even if you can't get digital cable, and just watch DVD movies. <br />   <br />   As an aside, I only rated it 4 stars instead of the 5 I would like to give it, as I'm trying to be conservative since I've only had it a month, and do believe it will not have any issues. <br /> <br />I hope this has helped someone.
