Summary: Best 32" Flat Screen Between HDTV'S and High Fidelity TV's
Comment: I checked this and other manufacturers' 32" flat screen high fidelity stereo TV's and HDTV's in stores, on manufacturers' web sites and other web sites, including but not limited to this site. I was the most impressed with this one. It is why I bought it.

What stood out the most to me and still do are its clear, sharp life-like picture and sound. Both surprisingly stand out to me yet even more than 32" HDTV's I checked, whether made by Philips or another manufacturer. It is especially the high fidelity stereo sound, which has a richer, fuller sound than the HDTV's I've checked so far!

Another feature that I like is how it has audio-video input jacks on the side instead of the front, since a camcorder or video game connected to it would also be off to the side instead of blocking the screen.

I love its flat screen over the round ones, as well as its black matrix picture tube which helps keep out ambient light and digital comb filter, which help to give it both a truer 3D picture and more of a feeling I get when going to a movie theater with its flat screen instead of the old round screen.

I also like how much more solid its silver cabinet is over the old plastic and wooden ones. It will not crack like a plastic one. And it will not chip or scratch like a wooden one.

It has too many features for me to even begin to cover in this review. And I noticed amazon.com does a very good job at that.

Also, what has turned out to be interesting is, while I have read negative reviews other manufacturers' 32" high fidelity stereo TV's and HDTV's on this site and others, I have only read positive reviews on this one. Based on those and everything else I have covered, I highly recommend this TV to everyone!


 

Editorial Reviews:

Philips offers this 32" Stereo Remote Color Monitor/Receiver that allows you to enjoy all the benefits of Auto Window PIP without a VCR! You can tune to your favorite show with tuner one, for example, while scanning other channels with tuner two in the PIP window. The A/V inputs are also available as PIP sources so all functions of standard PIP are still accessible. Incredible Picture creates a remarkable increase in clarity and sharpness at the point of transition from dark to light areas of the video image for a picture so sharp and well defined that you'll never want to go to the movies again.Digital circuitry clearly separates black and white detail from color data virtually eliminating dot crawl and delivering unmatched, razor-sharp picture performance with 800+ lines of horizontal resolution. The Real Flat invar picture tube provides the best picture by minimizing unwanted reflections and providing a wider viewing angle. The special alloy invar shadow mask delivers a sharper picture with purer color, higher contrast and brighter whites as compared to standard tubes.
