Here we have a giant, 47-inch digital LCD television produced by Philips Electronics UK that delivers a flicker free progressive scan image at an elegant resolution of 1366 x 768p. A 16:9 aspect ratio, widescreen is the standard video format for the 47PFL5522D/05.

For the purpose of picture enhancement Philips has deployed a virtual army of technologies, including Digital Crystal Clear, Luminance Transfer Improver, Colour Transient Improvement, Contrast Plus, 3/2 – 2/2 motion pull down, 3D Comb Filter, Active Control, Digital Nose Reduction, Jagged Line Suppression, Progressive Scan, and Sharpness Adjustment. Wow!

When it comes to connectivity, comes on strong in its field. Carrying two SCART ports, two HDMI ports, a component connection, and an S-Video port. That’s really pretty good for a 47-inch model LCD display. Most major connection types are represented on this model. A handy CI slot gives this model a tiny boost in the device connection department.

For sound, this model brings you two 10-watt speakers — a step up from the 5-watt speakers that Philips couples with so many of it’s small displays —powered by Incredible Surround, sporting Dynamic Bass Enhancement, and controlled by an Auto Volume Leveler. While this isn’t exactly cinema quality, it should perform well as a second or third household television.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours. That comes to just about 360 weeks of continuous use, but that kind of wear is unlikely. If you watch television for four hours per day, seven days a week, a modern digital television set like the 47PFL5522D/05 should last for roughly 40 years according to my calculations! There will most definitely be new broadcast and display technologies available for mass consumption before these things stop working, barring some kind of defect and assuming that the competitor’s estimates are correct.

When you get into the 37-inch range of digital LCD televisions you begin to expect a certain level of accommodation with respect to features, sound, and connectivity. With the 37PFL9632D/10 Philips has delivered all of it. With this model you get brilliant, deep, and razor sharp images along with a superb feature set. Plus, this thing looks very cool.

At a resolution of 1366 x 768p and with 4-trillion expressible colors, this digital HD television truly delivers a killer image. But if the high resolution and the unbelievable depth of color that this display offers isn’t enough, just wait till you see the list of behind the screen technologies that are hard at work inside this unit to bring you the clearest, sharpest, most brilliant image that it possibly can. Best of all, that incredible image is visible from a pretty large 176-degree viewing angle.

For image enhancement alone the 37PFL9632D/10 brings the following to bear: Perfect Pixel HD Engine, HD Natural Motion, dynamic contrast enhancement, 3/2 –2/2 motion pull down, 3d Comb Filter, Active Control + Light sensor, Jagged Line Suppression, Progressive Scan, Pulse Killer Chip, Widescreen Plus 100hz Clear LCD, and double frame rate.

But the good news definitely doesn’t end there. In terms of connectivity you’ll have to search far and wide to find a 37-inch competitor that accommodates so many device connection types. Onboard the 37PFL9632D/10 can be found three HDMI ports, two SCART ports, a component video connection, an S-Video port, and even a USB port!

The included sound package is probably the only aspect of this model that doesn’t jump right out at you as being outstanding, but with four total speakers, including integrated woofers and tweeters as well as two 8-watt outputs, there’s at least enough sound output to fill your den. Plus, with Digital Signal Processing, Graphic Equalizer, and Dynamic Bass Enhancement, you really can’t go wrong. Besides, you can always invest in a really nice pair of headphones and enjoy your content in relative silence.

When it’s all said and done, the 37PFL9632D/10 is an extremely stylish and superbly capable digital LCD television that is well worth the investment if you’re after a 37-inch model with loads of goodies.

Though it’s not quite as bright as some of Philips’ other 20-inch models, the 20PFL5522D/05 shares many of the same robust feature sets. This model delivers a 4:3 VGA image at a resolution of 640 x 480p. One shared feature of this unit is its wide viewing angle of 178-degrees. Also like the others, a special anti-glare coating is used on the screen itself.

But where this model really makes up for its comparative lack of brightness is behind the screen. For the purpose of picture enhancement Philips has deployed a virtual army of technologies, including Digital Crystal Clear, Luminance Transfer Improver, Colour Transient Improvement, Contrast Plus, 3/2 – 2/2 motion pull down, 3D Comb Filter, Active Control, Digital Nose Reduction, Jagged Line Suppression, Progressive Scan, and Sharpness Adjustment.

Even though this model is a step or two up from a 15-inch model, this 20-inch digital LCD television from Philips speaks directly to the entry-level buyer. With an economy-driven design, the 20PFL4122/10 delivers a very basic LCD television that’s great for the newcomer to LCD technology.

The 20PFL4122/10 gives you a 640 x 480p VGA image in a wide, 178-degree viewing angle. Three available screen format adjustments, including 16:9, 4:3, and 4:3 Expand give added flexibility to this 20-inch digital LCD television.

For added image clarity you’ll enjoy the benefits of behind the screen technologies such as Crystal Clear III, 2d Comb Filter, Blue Stretch, Green Enhancement, Colour Temperature Adjustment, Progressive Scan, and Automatic Skin Tone Adjustment. Ad an anti-reflection coating the screen itself and you get an LCD display that works hard to provide you with the best image it can.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours.

If you’re an audiophile you may want to find a model with a stronger sound package. The two included 3-watt speakers will just get the job done in small to medium sized rooms like the kitchen. Together, NICAM stereo and Incredible Surround sound-enhancement technology cap off the audio side of this model.

If you need a whole lot of connectivity, there may be a better model out there for your needs. This unit comes with a pretty Spartan group of connections, to include one SCART connection, one HDMI connection, a component video connection, a VGA PC AV input, and an S-video connection. That’s not to say that this model is incapable, it just simply doesn’t seek to provide a plethora of connection options like some other models do.
