Philips 27PT543S 27" TV
Great disposable television, not for Shackleton.
I bought this TV in January of 2004 after an Emerson (i know what was I thinking) lasted only 2 months before showing it's LSD simulation feature. I thought the sound, picture quality, options etc. on the Phillips were great...when it was working. In June it started shutting itself off and then after getting really moody it just quit functioning entirely (in my opinion)except for daintily lighting a little green light on the front panel making me think that something might be stirring within. So in light of the fact that, through years of product development and research, Phillips can make a grown man sit staring at a green light hoping that his television  will turn on in time to see the World Superbike Championships or even Gunsmoke, I give it 2 stars rather than a 0. At just over 14 months of faithful service, longevity was not one of it's virtues. Ernest Shackleton would be very dissapointed.
