A Pretty Good LCD TV, Though Tricky Setting it for Progressive Scan DVD Playing.......2007-02-25
I purchased this model through the Philips Outlet online site as a "factory renewed" item. I generally like the TV, even though using it to view progressive scan DVDs was not as easy as I had hoped.
One of the main reasons I got this Philips HDTV-ready LCD TV was for watching progressive scan DVDs from my Philips DVD player. Turns out you cannot just hook up the component/RGB connections and put your DVD player into progressive scan mode.
I had to call Philips (and was able to get through without hassle) and was told the only way to view DVDs in progressive scan mode on this TV is by hooking up to the TV through the VGA connection. After searching on the Internet I found a great outfit (AVD Gear) that had the component/RGB-to-VGA cable I needed. (Radio Shack did not have the cable and said the only way it would work was with a $100 conversion device.)
When making the video connection using this method, you also need a special hookup for audio. I had to get a RCA audio (red/white) to mini jack cable too. (Again, thanks to AVD Gear.)
Now, with all the correct special cables, the progressive scan DVD playback is amazing on this TV.
I just wish Philips has been more clear in their product specifications and user manual out the need for this special hookup. I don't know why they make it so difficult. One would think that one of the main reasons someone would want a HDTV ready TV would be for progressive scan DVD playback.
I have not bothered to order HDTV through my cable company yet because I don't watch that much TV, and would want a larger primary TV first, but this unit that I use in a bedroom works very nice with DVDs now that everything it set correctly. Regular TV viewing is just okay.
The user guide is also lacking on details about all the different picture modes (widescreen, fullscreen, 4.3, 16.9, zoom, super zoom) but if you play around with it, you can find a picture that suites you for whatever particular viewing you are watching. The remote is sort of lacking also. It only works with the TV. The remote that came with my other Philips TV allows me limited control of the DVD player and VCR also.
I would recommend the unit (and the Outlet purchase option I used), but just be ready to order your special cables! Once you do get it working with progressive scan DVDs, the picture is pretty amazing.

Great thumbdrive!.......2007-12-29
Great little drive for moving data between computers. Price was very good and delivery was fast. Highly recommended!
Only one problem.......2007-11-13
This is only the second (and third) flash drive I've bought, and I assumed from the first one that they all had drive lights. These don't.
They are just as advertised.
Unbeatable price, but...........2007-11-11
At $17.99 for the two memory sticks, I figured I got a great deal... however... these memory sticks don't seem to run at the 'full' USB 2.0 speed. They operate faster then USB 1.1, but not as fast as it should.
I borrowed one like it from someone who got theirs more recently and NOT in a twin pack and that one definitely carries out I/O much faster.
Guess there was a reason they were so cheap :p
Handy and affordable.......2007-11-04
After being use to CDRWs, these Kingston USB Flash Drives are wonderful things. They are simple to use and handy as all get-out!
A Great Inexpensive Tool.......2007-10-28
At a price of rouoghly $10 apiece my 1GB Kingston is great. It appears to work reliably and at that price I can, if needed, leave it behind with a client or a friend. My only very minor complaint is that the removable tip is easy to lose and I generally lose it. But as long as you don't keep or put the connector in something dirty or wet, not having the tip seems to make little difference. I have now bought a total of six of these and given awy three.
