Note that this TV will work with 110- 220V and with NTSC as well as PAL signal- thus this is a truly multisystem TV and that was a key criterion for me. I compared this also to the only somewhat multisytem TV on the market(Sharp) Additionally:
Positives:
1. VERY natural picture- people have mentioned the 3D effect in HD- it is true, you can actually feel the depth in the studio behind the newscaster. Natural skin tones – very comfortable on the eye. Sharp had a more “smudged” color feel
2. Decent SD. Since it is 52″ please do not sit nearer than 8 feet to view SD or you will be disappointed in any 52″ TV, but I think this TV does a good job on SD.
3. Very easy set up- no need to spend $ on professional calibration. The Sharp I had to keep calibrating again and again.
4. Enough inputs options. 4 HDMIs, 2 component, 1 S and 1 Composite, 1 USB. No computer input though unless use DVI
5. Comes with swivel stand
6. Great in bright light, although in high amount of sunlight the contrast gets washed out.
Negatives:
1. Digital natural motion and 120Hz don’t seem to make much of a difference for me. MAybe there is something to it- I am yet to see it clearly.
2. Picture gets grayer as you move away from the center of the TV. Sharp had less of an issue
3. Decent profile/ looks- simple black bezel, but Sharp is thinner and lighter and better looking though. This one is heavy- much more than Sharp
As for the Sony and Samsung enthusiasts, please go for them if you have the extra $, they definitely have a better picture and you should judge the price/ value equation. I had to rule them out as they are not Multisystem.
Finally I struggled a lot about Plasma vs. LCD (over >6 months actually), ultimately the weight, power requirement and bright light compatibility moved me in favor of LCD.
Godd luck!

I received 52PFL7403D/27 today and hooked it up to HD Satellite Dish and a new Blue-ray player.
I am really impressed by the quality of the picture, the clarity, fluidity (120Hz) and sound. I compared this extensively to the Bravia W series at Costco and found this to have better anti-reflective screen, better sound system and deeper blacks than the Sony. Also the 2ms response time is best in industry. I liked the simple and elegant GUI. The color setting wizard does an excellent job. The remote is simpler than others I have seen but I will soon be replacing it with my Logitech remote.
With my first (upscaled) DVD movie tonight I was shocked at how clear every thing looked and I have not even played a Blu-ray DVD yet. ESPN and other channels looked awesome too. The technology is unbelievable.

I am one of those that did all the research and reviews before buying. I must say this TV is great! The picture (in 1080i since my cable company does not yet support 1080p) is crisp and clear. The 120mhz really makes a huge difference when I did not believe it would. The refresh rate also stands out. I mounted it over the fireplace mantle and could not be happier. The only drawback I found at all when mounting it to the wall is that the connections are not easy to get to after it is mounted. My only suggestion to Philips would be to put the connections underneath.

I got this tv at Sam’s about a month ago for $1300. 52″ screen looks just as good as my dads led lcd that he paid 4k. There may be a difference when software catches up. I just thought I would share because the price shown here is considerably more than what I paid. I Have a 72″ mitsi dlp also and the pictures are the same as far as quality. Phillips makes a great product.

We bought this TV from SAMS Club and it has the highest ranking of the most important features for LCD tvs; Resolution 33,0000 to 1, 2ms response, 120 hz, and a great price. I can’t stop talking about the “real life” picture. I feel as if I am standing on the sidewalk watching the action in a movie. The sports are crystal clear and no blurring. What a great picture!!!
