Philips are one of the leading manufacturers in the TV and electronics markets and are a very popular choice due to the quality and longevity of their products.

The Philips LCD TV range includes numerous sizes, like the smaller 15PF, 20PF and 23PF inch models, the more popular 26PF, 30PF and 32PF inch screen versions and the home cinema 37PF and 42PF inch screens. LCD TV's are especially favourable when space is at a premium due to their flat and highly ergonomic design. All models are only a few centimeters thick from front to back and so can be mounted easily, for example, on a bedroom dressing table, on the wall in a small living room, or on the counter top in a kitchen to avoid clutter.

Another reason for choosing a Philips LCD TV is picture quality. LCD TV's give a signifcantly brighter and higher contrasting picture than CRT (tube) sets. The flatscreen display can be viewd from 80 degrees left or right of centre (ie a 160 degree viewing angle) and you don't have to turn out the lights in the room or close the curtains because glare does not affect LCD TV's.

The LCD TV is a very complicated device and hence it is highly recommended that purchase is made of a reputable brand like Philips. Each LCD TV has millions of pixels, and each pixel has its own transistor. In time these can fail which can lead to a noticeable difference in the LCD picture quality if a significant number do not function correctly. Generally speaking, LCD's have a huge lifespan and you can expect 80,000 hours of viewing pleasure from a quality set on average. But it is wise to pay the extra for a better brand name set which will have been made using higher quality components.

Most LCD TV's are multi-functional and can be used to display TV, HDTV, home video and PC monitor signals. For the latter you will need to check that the device has a RGB input so that you can connect to your computer and use the LCD as a monitor. The high resolution display will mean that text and graphics look much sharper than on a regular monitor.
