Philips 55PL977S 55" Cineos Widescreen LCOS HDTV-Ready TV (Stand not included)
Avoid this thing at all costs
Today I am sending back the third (yes, third) TV I have had in my home.  Issues: <br /> <br />TV the First: spots on screen during black passages, like credits at the end of a film.  Dealer reports Philips says there \\"could be an issue\\" with dirt in the projection mechanism. <br /> <br />TV the Second: fan comes on and goes off every couple of seconds.  This is maddening during soft parts of the program. <br /> <br />TV the Third:  DOA.  I finally got it to power up, and guess what?  Even larger spots than TV the first.  Plus, it eventually powered itself down and could not be revived. <br /> <br />This thing IS NOT READY for commercial distribution.  Philips has a very good reputation in consumer electronics, but this thing is trash. <br /> <br />I will try a Panasonic at the same dealer.
