Is this a good product to purchase ? I hardly see Philips TV's in the stores.

My neighbor and I both bought one at the same time and both are fine. We have had them about 5 years.

We didn't have luck with this tv. The screen malfunctioned in under 2 years.

The one I bought had a sound problem that the tech couldn't solve. I was shipped a refurbished one that developed the SAME EXACT sound problem. Phillips replaced it with a brand new one, but told me this model was discontinued, so they replaced it with a 46". I've owned several Philips TVs and they have been reliable in the past. My experience with this one was not so good, and my understanding is they are no longer made. If this is a used one you're looking at, be advised that my audio issue was a "come and go" type, and I would not really recommend this particular model.

Had mine for 3+ years now, and the picture is still on par with my led Sharp Aquos. Great purchase.

Philips is a British company. I think they're made here or in Great Britain. I'm not certain though.

It works for my Samsung Tv. I don't know about Phillips. Why not visit your local Merchants and ask them to try it before you buy it.

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer as my Samsung TV is quite different. Have you done a Google search or gone to Philips' website? If not, please try there.

You've probably already purchased something, but when we bought our 52" Samsung and had it installed, we were advised to buy a good power strip/surge protector. The installer was going to sell us one for $75 but, like you, since we were a bit suspicious we declined. Turns out we spent about $90 at a local retailer anyway. We figure if our TV is worth 1,700 we should at least get a good surge protector. I suspect the cost goes up as the capability to add more gadgets to the strip increases.

No, it is Philips brand if I remember correctly. I purchased one a while back and I can't remember exactly. I do not believe Sony actually makes these lamps, even when we first got this TV.

I only purchased the Sony Bravia 4K TV. I never had the inspiration to buy the overpriced 4K player. However, when it goes down to a price I find acceptable I may buy it.

According to what Philips told me, they no longer made this model as of a year or so ago. I had audio issues that were "unusual" according to the tech. He was local, and I trusted him. However, he couldn't fix the issue, and Philips sent me a replacement. It was "reconditioned," and soon developed the same "rare" problem. They finally replaced it with a new one, but it was a different model (46") because they told me they no longer made the 47". It was a shame, I liked the 47" features (mainly the input selections and the digital audio out). The 46" is a good TV and I've been happy with it (no problems), and I DO like Philips, but this model has been put out to pasture.

Actually I didn't buy yet, but I think from any Philips dealer, also it is not that much expensive to buy another one.

The TV is pretty much ready to use on of the box. Although I would recommend something to protect your investment like a surge protector or UPS. If you don't already have an HDMI cable and your cable box/ DVD player has an HDMI output, then you can get it here for under $20. I did, and it works great. If your cable box is not HDTV, then you can buy an antenna to pick up over-the-air HDTV, if it's available in your area...old bunny ears antenna may work. Good luck!

I had the cable company come out to connect the TV so I'm not sure what cables are involved. I will tell you, however, it's a fabulous TV and you'll love it. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my answers but did you contact the Philips conpany and ask them or better yet, try their website. bkwright

Hi, The TV is excellent. Very good quality for a non "name brand". I will gladly purchase another one when this one dies.

I actually just picked this TV up from Fred Meyer in Portland for $999.99. A deal they had since it's being discontinued. If you are in the Pacific Northwest give them a try.

I honestly don't know. I do know I've had to purchase a new bulb 4 years in a row, so I figured the cheaper the better. However since my last bulb purchase little white dot are appearing all over my screen. I did some research and the video card is going out. There is actually a lawsuit over the poor quality of these TVs. The video card is $200 plus shipping, so I'm cutting my losses and getting a new TV. I would suggest that all of you do the same!

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck
