Just aweful!
Very handsome t.v., okay sound (we hooked up a surround sound
because it wasn't the best quality), cheasy remote, but over all we were
satisfied with it's picture and HDTV is fantastic! However, we bought
this Philips 52" LCD HDTV just 15 months ago, and now it's a very
expensive paper weight. After we found out that Philips Customer
Service wasn't interested in talking to us (no warranty, no service!),
we had to hunt down a "certified Philips Repair Center". First we had
to pay them to come pick up the massive T.V. for $70.00, then we paid an
additional $50.00 to have it diagnosed. We had to purchase the
schematics for the T.V. repair tech because he didn't have them on hand,
(?!) that was an additional $30.00 we had to pay Philips. In the end,
the LCD is completely dead and it will cost $1200.00 to replace.
$150.00 to find out we've been had! There are other reviews I've seen
recently that say the same thing, no customer support and no way to fix
the t.v. without purchasing a part that costs nearly the same as a brand
new t.v. I've seen reviews where customers say it only lasted for 7
months, and no way to repair or replace it. I guess 15 months was
pretty lucky? So buyers beware, Philips won't back up their product,
won't deal with you, and it's probably going to cost you more than the
t.v. is worth to have it fixed if anything goes wrong. We will not be
purchasing any Philips products from now on considering how much we paid
for that paper weight. Now I have to pay a fee to have it dumped, to
add insult to injury!
(We did not have the option of buying an extended warranty, since we
bought it direct from Philips!)
Love it so much I have two
This review is being posted after 7 months of ownership.
I moved to digital TV this past winter. The worst thing about going
to a nice TV was it made my other TVs show their age. So I treated
myself to more than one. I bought a total of 4 different brands
thinking that I would have a REALLY nice TV in my living room and
something less spectacular in my bedroom. I ended up returning a more
expensive TV to get a second Phillips because the Phillips looked and
sounded better side by side.
Others smarter than I may talk about technical specs that make this
an inferior TV. I am not interested in that debate. I know which one
looked best when I had them side-by-side in my home.
Watching blu ray movies is nothing less than awesome (when you get a
GREAT movie recorded in blu ray.)
FYI, I looked mostly at 120Hz LCDs, but did try one plasma TV. And
in case you were wondering, yes, these are quite a pain in the behind to
repackage and take back to the store. But I have no shame when I am
spending this much money and I can look at the output side-by-side and I
realize the cheaper TV looks better.
Great for the 7 months that it worked
I bought this TV in June 2009 from Sam's club. I noticed that every
tenth time I would turn it on, the Philips logo was distorted. Philips
said that is normal. Yesterday, I turned on the tv and when I tried to
change the input, the menu was faded and pink. Pretty much every menu and input setting was faded with lines along the screen. Power cycling
did not help. Thank God for Sams because otherwise I would have had a
paperweight or had to wait for Philips to repair my unit.
Here are the good things while I had it:
-Great sound
-Great response time, okay picture
-Heavy duty glass stand
Bad things:
-uses 350watts of power which is like having a plasma tv
-Crappy contrast ratio
-You better hope you have a warranty on this thing. That would
explain why Sams club is clearing these out at $998. If you are going
to buy one of these things, buy the longest warranty you can.
-no VGA input for computers, annoying changing inputs
I loved Philips and had great respect from them since they are well
known in the healthcare field. But after seeing these issues, I have
concluded that these newer TV's in general are just heavy paperweights.
They probably build them in China now and expect the consumer to shell
out 2k every 3-5 years instead of the good ol' days where our old RCA
set lasted 26 years! Regardless these things depreciate faster then my
car. This TV was $1499+tax 6 months ago and the year before that was
$2399! So in 2 years, it has lost $1300. I am going to just go buy
myself a cheap Vizio or Insignia with a credit card keep it for 2 years,
resell, and get another one.
Hope this helps anyone considering buying this set. I would say go
for it but get an extended warranty!
