Product Description
Philips (15PF5120/28) 15" 4:3 LCDTV
From the Manufacturer
HDTV is the latest and best television signal available. It produces picture quality more than twice that of traditional analog broadcasts. In order to effectively maximize the HDTV signal, a television must incorporate advanced signal input connectivityAuto Picture button on the remote control enables one-touch selection of various preset optimized image settings to suit different TV program. Do refer to the DFU for the various Smart Picture modes. Auto Sound provides pre-defined sound settings for ultra bass, bass, treble and balance for the optimum entertainment experience. Crystal Clear III combines a whole range of enhancements to provide a better picture. They include a 2D Comb filter, Dynamic contrast, Blue stretch and Green enhancement so that you always get the most natural looking colors. With PC input you can connect your TV to a computer and use the TV as a PC monitor. A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed high-bandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analog, it delivers an unblemished and noisefree image, that is clear and flickerfree. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programs from Digital Settop boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analog PC-VGA signals. This design style emphasizes a slim, compact look that saves space and fits in anywhere. Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to experience total surround with greater depth and width of sound, without the use of additional speakers. The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion. Other standard features include:
- Auto Picture to personalise your viewing.
- Auto Sound uses pre-defined sound settings for better sound.
- DVI-I provides the best picture and flexible connectivity.
- 2D Combfilter sharpens images for finer detail.

 Sound problems !!! February 28, 2010
Genealogy Buff (United States of America)
I purchased two of these little TVs because the price was right at Sam's Club and so was the size. I have one on my kitchen counter and the other is on my computer table. The model at the store worked wonderfully and the picture display was clear and vibrant, so I was under the impression I would be getting an A+ product for an economical price. I should have remembered that old saying, you get what you pay for. I now realize that Phillips most likely unloaded their overstock to Sam's Club to get rid of due to the number of problems with this television, hence the affordable price. Within a few months after purchase, I began to have sound problems with both TVs which has continued to deteriorate to a abyssimal situation. I continue to adjust the volume according to what is playing at the time and now I have to turn the volume up to the highest setting to hear what is being said.
Since both items are long out of warranty, returns are no longer a question. I was stupid to hang on to these items and should have returned both of them as soon as the volume on the first TV began to give me problems.
The picture on the TV is acceptable, the remote controls are problematic and the volume is horrendous.
As for remote problems, I discovered the hard way that there is a little metal bar inside the case that holds the battery in place. This is very delicate and prone to breakage. If you drop the remote on the floor, the bar may break. If you take the battery out the wrong way, the bar will break. A simple fix is to solder it back to its original position. Change your battery very carefully otherwise this bar will break and your remote will be garbage.
Oh, and on a final note, they are not HDTVs. They don't pick up any of the digital channels, so the little HDTV in the lower right hand corner is a flat out lie.

The TV works fine, but the remote didn't work from day 1. I called Philips
* they made me copy and fax my receipt
* wait two weeks for a confirm number
* package the remote and mail it back at my expense ($8).
* I still don't have a remote - 2 months after purchase.
Update - 6 weeks after mailing in my broken remote (that was broken when it came out of the box) - I rec'd the same broken remote mailed back to me today. I jumped through every hoop imaginable and they just mailed it back. Avoid Philips at all cost.
UPDATE - After finally replacing the remote at my own cost, I enjoyed the TV for about 10 months until the video component went out. I still have audio, but no picture which kind of defeats the purpose of have a teleVISION. I called Philips and was told (like the others) that the TV is not under warranty and I could purchase a refurb unit for $299. I'll never buy from Philips again.

I bought this little TV 1-1/2 years ago. I had no problems with it and was quite happy. . . Until I came home this evening and - voila! - no picture. Sound is fine but screen is black. It was around $400 which isn't a fortune, but I certainly expect more life than that. I'm sure that trying to get it repaired is not worth my time, money or aggravation. Believe me, I will never, ever buy a Philips product again!!
Not awful, but not great, and not satisfying September 5, 2007

I bought this tv a year ago, and it works pretty well as a tv, but I cannot get it to work with my computer, which was one of the selling points. I have tried several cables and all possible menu setting combinations; it just won't work. As a tv, the picture and sound are quite good. The remote is not easy to use, and its battery life is especially short, plus it takes expensive little batteries.
