buyer beware.......2007-03-10
I purchased this tv refurbished and when I plugged it in, it wouldn't turn on. The screen flickered and the tv clicked but no picture. I called Philips for help and they gave me a local service center to have it fixed. Since I bought the tv, I've looked online and apparently Philips tv's have a lot of power issues...apparently as soon as the warranty expires too.
Could've been 5 stars...thanks for nothing Philips..........2006-07-06
Okay, so I buy this TV, right? I hook everything up, position it perfectly in the room, then I fire it up. I do the channel auto scan [a joke] and as I begin poking through the other settings I realize that I don't hear anything...ANYTHING! No sound at all. I call Philips, and their technical support was a joke. After transferring me a few times to the "area that can help me" I was referred to a authorized service center in my area. Huh? This TV is new?
Don't get me started on the 'proof' of warranty debacle.
Anyway...since I am somewhat savvy, I went to the Philips site and downloaded the latest firmware. I put it on a compact flash card/USB card reader combo, and plugged it into the side of the TV and powered the TV back on. The firmware loaded automatically, and I had sound after powering the TV off then on again. Whew!
You always learn about a company when you have to contact them for a problem. I love Philips' designs--very clean and elegant--but they lost a point here.
The screen is great but some cable and most OnDemand (Comcast) programming look awfully pixelated. I know that's not the TV's fault. Multiple picture settings (personal, multimedia, movies, etc.) are available to fine tune poorer quality signals. HDTV on air programming is flawless...just flawless.
Sound is impressive, with decent bass response. Multiple sound settings too (voice, movies, etc.)
A plethora of inputs...which I need. Two HDMI, but no DVI? Go figure.
Minus one star for the poor customer support.
Update: I've had the TV for a few weeks now. I love it.
So far a very good buy, only a couple of glitches.......2006-07-01
I recently ordered this TV from The Philips Outlet online. It was a great buy at $[...] after $[...] instant rebate. Still had to pay $[...]for shipping plus tax. Still not a bad deal, but still a refurb.
I have had the TV for three weeks. Just like the previous review, the picture is is crisp, colors are vivid (really nice in HD), the blacks are adequately dark, the on screen controls are easy to use. The shipper delivered in less than a week and no damage.
The only glitches I have seen so far:
1. When the TV does not recognize a signal, the screen will blank out. This happens on isolated instances, but has happend more than once.
2. When accessing the TV programming guide though my cable provider, the screen starts rolling vertical lines and/or blanks out. It must be something with the signal since this does not happen on any of the broadcast channels, only on the program guide channel. Kinda wierd.
I first assumed this might be due to a firmware issue, so I downloaded the latest version from Philips support on my thumbdrive (two versions newer than what was on my tv) and upgraded. This did not take care of the glitches, but did add some nice functionality that was mssing in older versions.
In all, I will not discard the shipping box during the 90 day warranty, but pleased at what I got for my money.
Good TV, Horrible Customer Service.......2006-06-18
I recently ordered this TV from The Philips Outlet online. Though we have only had the tv for a couple of days, so far it's great. The picture is is crisp, the blacks are adequately dark, the on screen controls are easy to use, and it has all the inputs we'll need for the foreseeable future.
However, Philips customer support has been egregious. When we placed the order online, they charged our credit card three times even though we only purchased the TV once. After the purchase, we did not receive any shipping information from Philips and we were surprised when a week later a shipping company called us to tell us the TV was on it's way.
The really terrible part, however, was that when the TV came, it was missing the screws to attach it to the stand. When we called Philips customer support to tell them about the problem, they were incredibly rude and told us that they wouldn't be able to send us the screws until August (we received the TV in early June). How long does it take to send a couple of screws? When we complained, they told us we should feel free to return the TV. After an hour on hold, we finally got through to a manager who told us that they would rush the screws out to us. Unbelievable.
So, in short, good TV for a good price. Terrible service. Let the buyer beware.
Product Description
The Special Edition Claro continues the tradition with dual-layer protection combining a shock-absorbing black silicone inner layer with a tough scratch resistant dark tinted outer layer. Its silicone inner layer is coated with an anti-dust finish and sports a red clickwheel. As with the original Claro, the Special Edition helps to maintain a clear view of the iPod while keeping it safe from everyday harm.
KICKING BACK
Claro's integrated clip also has a kick stand feature that gives you hands free viewing and listening. It is also one of the lowest profile clips available on an iPod case.
A CLEAR VIEW
Claro has a scratch resistant finish (ClaroCoatTM) that keeps it looking great so you can enjoy viewing your favourite videos without annoying scratches
PLUG AND PLAY
Claro gives you easy access to all ports and controls, so plugging in and out is never a problem.
Inner SKIN
Claro includes a specially treated clarified Black/Red slims silicone layer that helps to protect against moisture and scratching yet allows the beauty of the iPod to show.
Customer Reviews:
Looks nice, protects well, just don't plan on using the scroll wheel.......2007-12-26
Title says it all. The way this works is that it has a silicone covering that you put over the iPod (fits nice and snug, by the way). Then you encase it in this plastic casing which has a belt clip that doubles as a desk stand. Not bad, in theory, and while this thing protects the iPod very well, the covering used also makes the scroll-wheel pretty much unusable (in a "it sorta works, but you have to do it juuuust right" sort of way, which is the most annoying of all because it gives you false hope that it'll actually work).
I can recommend this to anyone who only doesn't actually need to navigate. (For example, if all you ever do is turn this thing on and put it on shuffle, then by all means, go for it. Most of us, however, like being able to select stuff once in a while.)
Red eye.......2007-12-24
Remember the U2 player? This ain't it. It looks really cool in a menacing sort of way....like putting on Vader's head unit, but the red dial doesn't work too good....actually it sucked. So lets see....it made my new classic look bigger and I couldn't control the button.....emmm...no wonder it is a special edition.

Product Description
All F Series speakers combine sophisticated high tech components with outstanding attention to detail, right down to the gold plated terminals. Celestion's titanium dome tweeter makes the human voice sound incredibly natural - and the long throw bass/midrange drivers deliver the depth you need to create an all-enveloping sound stage throughout the room. The effect is amazing. You feel actively involved rather than just passively hearing. You experience bigger highs. More drama. More emotion. In fact, more enjoyment all round.The beauty of the F Series is that you can combine different models to create the ideal system for yourself - maybe starting with a hi-fi set up and graduating to a full home theater set up later on. They're all perfectly voice matched for seamless response - and as they're magnetically shielded, they won't interfere with your other electronics. Your choice of speaker says a lot about you. The F series says you prefer pure sound quality rather than unnecessary aesthetics.

Customer Reviews:
Frustrating installation.......2007-10-12
The quality of this mount is decent, but the design is poor. You have to put two lag bolts into a stud but leave about 1/2 inch sticking out.
Next you attach to TV to the Vuepoint wall mount.
Next you take the TV with the wallmount attached to it and hang it onto the two bolts you placed in the stud earlier.
If you're lucky, you get the mount on the two bolts without dropping your TV. Then your luck must continue. It is nearly impossible to reach the lag bolts at this point, but you have to finish driving them into the wall the final 1/2 inch. Maybe it's not so bad on a smaller TV, but on my 30" TV it was nearly impossible.
But...even if I could have reached the bolts, they are driven by a hex key (provided). This thing is ridiculous. Remember that the bolt is pretty hard to drive at this point since it's into a stud. It's also almost impossible to reach. Now is when a real bolt driver would be useful, but this is a round head, hex bolt and it stripped almost immediately. Game over.
I called customer service after I had calmed down a bit. They were nice enough and said they would send me two new lag bolts (still waiting, 1 week).
My advice would be to drill your initial holes into the stud such that the final 1/2 inch of driving the lag bolt is not too tight. I wanted it to be tight, thinking this would mean a nice secure setup, but if it's hard to turn the bolt, the hex key will probably strip and you'll be "screwed" like I was.
If you can get it done, it's a solid enough mount and will hold the TV securely, but the design is poor. I guess that's why it costs half as much as the other ones I saw.
