Philips Plasma

Hygro

I was walking through town this evening and decided to pop into arnotts to have alook at their tvs. In particular I was going for yet another look at the 37PFL7332 LCD with pixel plus 2.

When I walked into thir electronics section I came to a screen that simply blew me away. It was showing Madagascar and the colours and detail were amazing. It was the 42PFP5532 Plasma with Pixel Plus (I've attached a link below)
(http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/gb/consumer/cc/_productid_42PFP5532D_05_GB_CONSUMER/widescreen-flat-TV+42PFP5532D-05?proxybuster=CNDOT4EH3ZHB5J0RMRESHP3HKFSEKI5P)
and the price was only 999.99.

I still can't believe it and I think there has to be a catch somewhere, because I can't find any reviews for it on the net.

Can anybody help me?

Cheers!

Get them to show you a standard def feed into it on normal TV viewing, not an animated picture, and also a DVD input, and finally a HD input before buying. You need to be sure that you won't be disappointed when it's all set up in your living room.

Have a look at this thread on Philips http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=326808&highlight=phillips
The Panasonic Hygro bought in the end is far better.

I just bought a Philips 50" plasma 50pfp5322d new. Its not nicked but I did get it at a steel a gand in box with warinty, a grand, dont ask. I had to make a quick decion, but now am a bit concerned as I am on the ps3 a lot a some say that plasma's can suffer from screen burn while playing some games for prolonged periods, does this happen with modern plasmas? Has anybody actually had this problen with a new plasma very little info on this spec on the Internet. I could resell the tv which I get delivered this week, not sure what to do. Thanx

Cathal.
Most people suggest turning down the brightness of a new plasma for the first 200 hours or so.
If you do this, you should be able to turn the brightness back up and not worry about screenburn.

Don't take this as gospel though!:rolleyes:

Thanx, yes I have read that, and apparently if you kinda wash the screen every few hours wit a bright channel it keeps the color nodes on their toes so to speak.

What is the story with Philips flat panel TV's? they have more model numbers than Kate Moss, cant find any info online except in Japanese on my new purchase, last time I looked I not quite up to speed on that one.
