My Experience: Nice TV for the first 3 years ownership then one day the picture wouldn't appear right away. At first the delay was few seconds. As time passed, it would take longer and loner for a picture to display. After a week of this the TV stopped displaying picture and audio altogether. Philips was no help. DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!!

Problems: About a month ago, the TV stopped displaying picture or produce sound. When I turn it on, the green power LED comes on, but there is no picture or sound. I tried unplugging/plugging in the power to the TV, but it didn't help. I called Philips and they were of no help. They suggested taking it to a repair shop. I've never had a TV last for less than 10+ years. These TV's are a walking time bomb waiting to go off. It's not a matter of if it will break; it's a matter of when it will break. If you search the web, many people have reported problems with this TV. DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!!
