Product Description
Here is a wonderful TV that not only gives you great picture and sound but also modern styling and quality finish. It features Crystal Clear III for natural, vivid images and Virtual Dolby Surround for superb audio.
From the Manufacturer
HDTV is the latest and best television signal available. It produces picture quality more than twice that of traditional analog broadcasts. In order to effectively maximize the HDTV signal, a television must incorporate advanced signal input connectivity
Auto Picture button on the remote control enables one-touch selection of various preset optimized image settings to suit different TV program. Do refer to the DFU for the various Smart Picture modes.
Auto Sound provides pre-defined sound settings for ultra bass, bass, treble and balance for the optimum entertainment experience.
Crystal Clear III combines a whole range of enhancements to provide a better picture. They include a 2D Comb filter, Dynamic contrast, Blue stretch and Green enhancement so that you always get the most natural looking colors.
With PC input you can connect your TV to a computer and use the TV as a PC monitor.
A DVI-I input connects the non-compressed high-bandwidth digital RGB signal from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signals to analog, it delivers an unblemished and noisefree image, that is clear and flickerfree. The DVI input supports HDCP copy protection that allows viewing of copy protected programs from Digital Settop boxes, DVD players and HD recorders. DVI-I is future proof as it can be be connected to all HDMI devices (a converter cable is required). The DVI-I input also supports analog PC-VGA signals.
This design style emphasizes a slim, compact look that saves space and fits in anywhere.
Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension. Incredible Surround allows you to experience total surround with greater depth and width of sound, without the use of additional speakers.
The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion.
Other standard features include:
- Auto Picture to personalise your viewing.
- Auto Sound uses pre-defined sound settings for better sound.
- DVI-I provides the best picture and flexible connectivity.
- 2D Combfilter sharpens images for finer detail.

Not awful, but not great, and not satisfying.......2007-09-05
I bought this tv a year ago, and it works pretty well as a tv, but I cannot get it to work with my computer, which was one of the selling points. I have tried several cables and all possible menu setting combinations; it just won't work. As a tv, the picture and sound are quite good. The remote is not easy to use, and its battery life is especially short, plus it takes expensive little batteries.
PRODUCT QUALITY .......2007-03-10
This in not a great product sepcially the remote control is very
flimsy, the battery holder has some free room so that it create
loose or no contact, I try to fix it but I am not sure how long
it will last. This is the product quality control problem, another
thing is viewing angle is very limit.and lastly is
the color is flat. I do hope the PHILIPS will look into it!
LCD TV OK, but there's much better out there now........2007-01-10
I bought this LCD TV hoping to hookup to my laptop, purchased the cable that was in the instruction manual and it didn't work. Screen resolution was OK, I've seen better now. This is old school LCD TV, so I returned it when the unit could not hookup to my laptop.
Great Value for the Money.......2006-12-30
I purchased the Philips 15" Flat Panel LCD TV and am very happy with the picture and sound quality. I have it in my home office connected to analog cable (without converter box) and view it from 6 feet away. Remember analog cable has very low resolution and will look fuzzy up close even on a high resolution LCD panel like this one. The picture looks great from at least 5 feet away with analog cable and very sharp up close connected to a DVD player. I will update this review if I run into any problems.
Product support is awful and not customer focused.......2006-12-08
I don't really hate the TV but I am very, very dissatisfied with their poor excuse for customer service. The TV itself has a good picture and the 1024x768 PC support is exactly what I was looking for. However, after owning the TV for less than a month, I noticed that the sound volume was not very good. There is an onscreen indicator for the sound. The sound volume would increase until the indicator got to around 50%. After that, it did not increase form 50% to 100% and the volume level remained too low. I called "customer service" (I use the term lightly). Their response was that the TV was probably defective and I needed to send it back to the factory. This typically means being without a TV for months, so I said that was not acceptable. I told them I expected them to send me a new unit and then I would return the defective unit as an RMA at their expense. They said Philips warranty only provided return to factory. I talked to a "supervisor" and she gave me the same song and dance. I will never buy another product from Philips!

Fantastic sound for the size and Great Price!.......2007-03-19
These speakers blew me away compared to the NEC Tower powered speakers I purchased about a decade ago. The bass doesn't have to be turned way up to hear it, and the fidelity is absolutely excellent for a 2-speaker system. I was really impressed by low trombone notes on some live performances that made me feel like I was hearing them live. The right speaker has all the controls behind a door that can fold under the unit. This is one of the few 2-speaker ensembles that has both bass & treble controls, unlike some that have none, or just one "tone" adjustment.
The only 2 negatives I can come up with (and over all they're minor) is that you have to turn the slightly hard-to-grasp volume/power knob to turn it off and that you must turn the speakers off before the computer otherwise there is a nasty "pop" that can make you cringe. Otherwise compared to all the other speakers I researched, this is tops by far.
Ehhh, it's ok.......2007-01-13
I bought a set of these to replace my Klipsch Promedia 2.0 speakers which started cutting out on me after a year (seems like a common problem with those speakers). These MX5020 speakers are also designed as high quality 2.0 speakers for those who don't want to run a sub to avoid wire clutter and don't care about the extra bass (most if not all of those 2.1 setups don't sound very good anyway with boomy bass and nonexistant mids).
These speakers look nice with a wide monolithic look. They sit tall and wide on your desktop. Its shiny "piano look" plastic makes it look more expensive and they are cleanly styled. It even comes with a cloth so you can wipe your fingerprints off the shiny plastic. The drivers are clearly seen through the thin fabric material which covers the top 3/4 of the speaker. Once you pick them up, then you realize that they are still cheap plastic speakers as they don't weigh a lot. They do have a headphone and aux input in the back. The controls are available if you flip open the front panel which has a smooth damped door. You'll probably want to keep the door flipped open (it swings out wide and flips completely underneath the speaker). It comes with a large power brick adapter for power and there is no battery option. However, they still take up a bit footprint on your desk so they won't satisfy those who want a unobtrusive setup.
The Sound
Its Maxxbass technology allows these speakers to sound pretty full for its price from its small 3" bass/mid driver. However, for the most part, it works ok, these speakers aren't really putting out any clean bass below 100Hz, but they almost sound like they are reaching down to 80Hz. The bass sounds a bit thick and loose at times while just avoiding boominess. The bass and lower midrange sounds has a boxy nasal quality at times. So there "no free lunch". The vocals are pretty clear, but the treble is not very extended. String instruments sound a bit congested. I don't have the instruments to make the measurements but I suspect there is a lot of harmonic distortion in the bass. Overall, the sound is still an improvement over any sub/sat computer speakers I've heard in this price range, just barely.
To be fair, these are only $100 speakers, and they are still better than most stuff in this price range. They have a unique expensive look.
All in all, I prefer the sound of my previous Klipsch Promedia 2.0 speakers which had better mids, clearer highs, less bass but a cleaner sound through the tonal range.
I rate these a 3/5 for their price ($100). I got these on clearout at my local electronics chain for about $25 USD, so I'm satisfied with them until I can afford high end powered monitors like the NHT M-00. I would recommend you probably want to have some good headphones if you listen to music on your computer a lot.
If you can get these on sale for about $50, I'd say go for it, but for its price, I expected better given the hype about its "MaxxBass" design.
Good "plastic" speakers.......2006-06-05
I bought MX5020 wanting to be able to listen to the music form portable CD out of my stereo system. I must admit that i do care about the sound quality, so my expectations were not high, however after reading several reviews i decided on Altecs MX5020.
Turning them on was a surprise: plenty of sound with quite apealing tone. Suspicious i took them home to compare with real sound from stereo. The moment of truth was somehow sad.
There is plenty of sound, but this sound has nothing to do with original!! One cannot expect much from small plastics, however for some kind of music it simply kills it.
I mean:
- guitar of Paco DeLucia does not sound like guitar, sounds like guitar imagined by engineers from Altec - terrible.
- female vocals of Particia Barber are acceptable, if one can accept distortions and basically lack of proper midrange.
- male vocals (Tom Waits) are distorted by maxbass, hardly acceptable.
- trumpet of Miles Davis sounds like in a jar.
- saxophone of Sony Rollins sounds like child toy
- rock (Pink Floyd, Sting etc.) is acceptable.
- piano of Keith Jarret is not a piano, especially in lower registers.
One can expect these kind of distortion form toy speakers, however bad think is the maxbass cannot be switche off! Turning down bass kills midrange, so one must accept permanent "bum bum" of so called bass.
I did compate Altecs to Bose, Logitech they were the same if not worse.
Overall i can recomen them to those wanting to listen "bum bum" music, jazz or clasics lovers would be disapointed, but what one can expect from small toy? Other brands and models does not seem to be better, unlike you go for expensive real stereo.
Unbelievable Value For The Money!!! Clear Full Sound!.......2006-05-07
I never knew that computer speakers could have such full and rich sound! They crank pretty loud as well with seperate bass & treble control! All Your Music, Movies & Spoken Word will come alive in Clean, Warm and Crisp Sound! I Highly Recommend!

Good if you're on a rally tight budget or space-constrained, otherwise consider the MX5021 3-piece instead.......2006-03-29
Purchased MX5020 & MX5021WHT systems at the same time, planning to deploy the '021 in our family room and the '020 in the office. Prior to installion I ran both in our great room using a Roku M500 source and performed back-to-back listening tests. The '021 can truly fill the room with a very good sound (and at significant volume) and is a great deal for the money, whereas the '020, being slightly less bass-able and with a rather confined stereo image, rates as satisfactory-to-good. Used in the application they were designed for & marketed into, they'll be fine. Personally I'll be buying '021's to use in both the kitchen and master bedroom.
