AMAZING
By Nick Wojdak
Very happy with this TV I have only had it now for 2 days. It is a the best LCD TV I have watched. Even 480i SD looks stunning thanks to the perfect pixel HD engine in this beast. The only con I can say so far is when an Ipod is hooked up it is very hard to pick out the songs. and I havent figured out playlists. But its a small objection compared to the tons of pluses of this TV. I have gotten tons of compliments on it from every friend that has seen it which is cool. I really am impressed in this TV.

Awesome TV, couldn't ask for more!
By Michael G. Mccardle
I purchased this TV at Sam's last week, it compared very well in features to other TVs for a lot less $$, I paid $997. With 2 ms response time, pixel perfect engine, and 120hz you can't ask more for your money. The remote is super intuitive, I got bonus points from the wife for that :) It takes you through a neat setup the first time you plug it in to find your contrast brightness preferences and creates a "personal" setting for you. The thin glass frame around the set gives it a perfect frame against any wall.
One very important feature we were looking for was an anti reflective screen. Our living room has a wall of windows so we needed something with low glare, this TV is perfect for that! We looked kind of funny going down the aisle with a flash light but you would be surpised at how many LCD's have a lot of reflection.
Overall this is an awesome TV, with all the right features. I only had to turn one off call "Digital Natural Motion", which makes everything look like a home movie (30FPS vs 24 FPS). This feature might do well for nature programs or something, but for movies I prefer the movie "look" with the slower framerate.
Amazon advertises a "newer" version of this TV, but I did some research on Philip's website and I can't find any difference between this one (/27) and the newer one (/F7) besides that it will work in USA and Europe.

Update 11/6/2010
I've had this TV for about 2 years now, and it still works well. The only complaint I have is that sometimes when watching movies (never TV) the audio just goes berserk. Its very loud static, I have to turn off the TV for a few seconds and turn it back on for it to return to normal. It doesn't happen often, about 1 time every 3-4 months, but it startles the heck out of me when it happens. I called Phillips to ask if they would be releasing a firmware update for this, but because I was out of warranty they wouldn't do anything. I told them this is a defect in the TV that I've heard others have too, but no dice... guess I'll have to live with it.

Very nice TV
By Matt Johnson
Pros:
Great picture and sound with the speakers that are with the TV. I use my own surround sound system right now though. It has enough input ports for all of my Gaming systems, (Xbox 360, PS2, Wii.) I get full 1080P with just my Component Cable with my Xbox 360 and the picture is great no problems with the action looking jumpy.
Cons:
Only con that I have so far is that it does not come with a normal analog stereo out connection. My surround sound system only uses analog stereo connection and this TV only has 1 coax Digital out.
