Amazon Price: $729.99 Too low to display (as of 01/10/2012)

Pros:
* Amazing picture quality. Everything look so life-like

* Great sound quality. Clear and loud.
* Upconverted DVDs look great.
* Blu-ray? Don't ask. It's simply superb.
* Light and easy to use remote control complete with all the necessary controls and features.

* Since this is a Philips the build quality and endurance is top-notch. It'll last years to come.
* No glare/reflection problem from the screen even when the room has abundant of light.

Cons:
* The menus don't look very nice (though I doubt anyone would buy a 47-Inch HDTV to stare at the menus)

Watching movies and playing games are just soo good with this big screen TV. Philips 52PFL7422D/37 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
is truly a masterpiece.

Pros:
* Awesome picture quality. Very natural/life-like pictures and colors.
* Huge screen.
* Easy to setup.
* Standard definition programs looks good but HD programs look awesome.
* Blu-ray movies simply stunning and upcoverted DVDs looks great.
* No banding or clouding problems found on other brands.
* No shiny/glossy screen like Samsung's LCD which means much less reflections when you're TV is put in a well-lit room.
* Good connectivity. 3 HDMI connections,2 Component Inputs, S-Video plus one USB Multimedia connector. You can plug lots of other audio/video gadgets you have.
* Aesthetically appealing and comes with a matching sturdy swivel stand.
* Easy to navigate remote control menus.
* Good price.

Cons:
* So-so audio quality. Philips really meant this to be a home theater centerpiece where you will add your own home theater speakers.
* Though the menu navigation is good but the remote control itself feels cheap.
* Limited viewing angle. Bad images and colors when viewing at a distance and you're not exactly in front of the screen.
* A lot heavier (98.6 pounds) than other 52-Inch HDTVs. You need the muscle power to move it around or wall-mount it.
* No Picture in Picture (PiP) feature, doesn't matter very much though.
* No DVI or VGA output.
