Philips 27PT6441 27" Stereo TV with QuadraSurf Remote and RealFlat Screen
Unbelievable Rip-off!  DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
My husband and I received a gift certificate to a well-known chain electronics store to purchase a 27\\" television set for Christmas (OF 2005!!).  We purchased this set on December 30th.  It is now February 19th and the television is no longer in operating condition.  I went to turn on the television via remote control a few days ago and the television made a clicking noise, but the green light did not come on.  I went to the television console and pressed the power button, but again there was no response.  I tried plugging it into another outlet, resetting the power strip, setting it into a solitary outlet.  Nothing worked. After calling Phillips, I was told that \\"this is reasonable wear and tear of the product\\" and that \\"we can't cover the cost of labor\\".  I say that that is a load of maggot-laden, festering excriment.  I've had the television for less than two months!  As much as I seek to avoid victim-blaming, I can't help but blame myself for not checking amazon prior to purchasing this abacus of visual media.  I've learned a valuable lesson.  DO NOT buy a Phillips product under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!  They ARE NOT the best DEAl; they ARE NOT good with customer service; and they DO NOT give a hoot about you or your purchasing history.  Do yourself a favor and avoid this like cholera.
