Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 42-Inch 1920 x 1080p LCD HDTV (Black)

Philips LCD Flat TV

The Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 gets 5 stars because the picture is truly superb. When up-close and viewing Blu-ray content at 1080p/24, the picture on this 120Hz LCD is about as good as HDTV gets at any price range. 

The Natural Motion does indeed give films shown on television the appearance of video, so it is something to either get used to or simply turn off (turning it off works just fine). The power of the Natural Motion is quite impressive in its ability to dejudder a moving image so quickly.

Do you need 1080p? If you plan to use your TV as a computer monitor, then 1080p is what you want as all newer computers can output at 1080p. Keep in mind that cable and over the air broadcasts at 720p or 1080i maximum because they compress a signal to save bandwidth. So you’re not going to get a 1080p signal from just anywhere (at least not right now). A 1080p image on a TV of this size is probably not going to make much of a difference anyway (unless you’re running your computer on this, and even then it’s more so going to be a matter of scaling the image cleanly). It’s not really until you get into the 50″ and above area that 1080p becomes truly appreciable. In any event, this is a 1080p TV and it is a nice one that boasts an incredible refresh rate of 2ms. Anything under 6ms refresh is considered good. 4ms is very good. 2ms is incredible.

As for gaming: this TV is excellent. Presents a wonderful image that appears clean and free of artifacts (this using an earlier model X-Box 360 operating at 1080i output [later models can handle a true 1080p, and then of course there is the PS3 which is 1080p all the time]).

The clear Plexiglas around the perimeter directs rather substantial sound to the front to complement two rear-facing woofers. Thus, the 42PFL7403′s 30W audio, when properly-adjusted, should be strong and clear enough to satisfy those who haven’t decked out their viewing area with a home theater setup and positioned speakers all about the place…
