Do Not Buy.......2006-01-08
After five days, my DLO HomeDock no longer works at all. The only way to turn it on is by remote; and if your remote dies, you can't turn it on.
This is at best a simple piece of equipment, and it is not worth $99. If you want to listen to music on your home stereo, which is across the room, you cannot browse your playlists or artist or albums from across the room, because you cannot see the list on your TV. Explore other options before you consider this item further, and avoide DLO at all costs.
Good for some, bad for others. Not your simple dock........2005-12-30
I bought this product expecting several things. Mostly what I wanted, however, was a simple dock that had a remote. The included cables and such were just a plus to me.
I came home disappointed with it and returned it the next day.
It's basically $100 for a piece of plastic and some cords that allow you to connect the iPod to your TV/Stereo. To me, that's a rip off. I just didn't realize it at the time. To others, it might be worth it, because all of the extra included equipment (dock, remote, and chords) which would cost way more than $100 bought separately. But to me, the average person who just wanted a simple dock, it was definitely not worth the price tag.
The only functions I found myself liking was the ability to charge the device and play music/videos at the same time. The remote was also a bonus, but at the same time, it's not terribly functional. It was easier to just get up the 4 feet to where my iPod was docked, and manually control it's functions, rather than line up the IR remote directly with the dock and fiddle with some buttons.
One problem that really got me annoyed was the fact that the volume doesn't adjust (using the volume control buttons on the remote) when you dock your iPod and plug in speakers to the headphone/speaker jack. The volume up/down and the mute/unmute buttons on the remote essentially become useless at that point. Most likely the volume buttons on the remote control the *Docks* volume only, and not the iPod's volume. So if you connect powered speakers to the iPod's headphone jack, forget volume adjustment across the room.
I contacted DLO support about that serious engineering fault, but to this date I have gotten no response.
In summary, this dock probably isn't for the average person who just wants a simple iPod dock. It's more geared for people with home stereos that can be used in conjunction with the iPod, and people who want to connect their iPod to the TV for various reasons. If you fit that description, you'll probably save money buying this combo. Otherwise I suggest looking for another dock.
Limited functionality, poor design, poor remote responsiveness.......2005-12-28
This dock (and the iPod Video in general) failed to meet my expectations in several important ways:
* You can't see the iPod menu on your TV, despite what the salesman I spoke with claimed. This is a huge drawback. In order to watch a slideshow, you have to get up, walk to the iPod / HomeDock, navigate the menus to your starting slide, start the slideshow, and only then can you sit down and watch the slides from your TV. (This is a limitation of the iPod Video, not the HomeDock. However, it's a huge argument for not buying the HomeDock -- it's better to just have a long A/V cable to your TV and use the iPod directly, at least then you can see and use the full menu while you're setting up your slideshow.)
* You can't control music while watching slides. Worse yet, pushing the wrong button while watching slides breaks you out of the slideshow. Given that I have my library of thousands of photos on the iPod, and given that you can't just resume a slideshow where you left off (a big gap in the usability of the iPod Video's slideshow functionality), it's extremely frustrating as there's no way to change music w/o breaking out of your slideshow, and there's no way to resume your slideshow if you do choose to change your music. (Again, many of these are design problems with the iPod Video, but trying to do the same functionality via the HomeDock's remote makes it twice as frustrating. Moreover, in slideshow mode, the HomeDock's remote has two unused buttons that should have been mapped to "track forward" and "track back", but don't touch them! Doing so will stop your slideshow and you'll be screwed.)
* I haven't tried watching a video yet. I imagine the same frustrations would apply, however, they might be less because, during a video, you don't expect to be able to control audio and video independently.
* I also haven't tried to use this dock with a computer. It seems to me that, unless you have a computer in your living room, you're either using it as a computer dock or as a TV dock. (My wish for 2006 is an Apple computer that works flawlessly as an entertainment center hub.)
* The HomeDock's remote is not particularly responsive, and given the ease of bumping yourself out of your slideshow, this is extra frustrating.
* The base station has a place to put the remote when not in use. However, the remote is battery-operated, not rechargeable, so there's no need to "dock" it, and nothing substantial holding it in place when you do decide to "dock" it. The bad: if you bump the base station (and not even very hard) the remote falls down. The HomeDock is larger because of this extra "remote dock" space, and it also means you'll need to hunt for yet another obscure battery someday. The good: it does look kinda cool to keep the remote next to the iPod, and at least there's a place where the remote "belongs", which helps curb coffee table remote clutter.
Bottom line: I find the HomeDock unusable and prefer a simple A/V cable directly from iPod Video to TV. Until Apple upgrades iPod software to show the full iPod menu on the TV, and lets you control audio and video both independently while in slideshow mode, I would stay away from HomeDock (or any other expensive iPod accessory). Also, if you want to show slideshows from the iPod on your TV, you really need to arrange your slides ahead of time in iPhoto. Trying to do an ad-hoc slideshow with thousands of digital photos is too frustrating to bother.

TV Dies After1 Year.......2007-12-20
We bought the Philips 37" LCD TV in August of 06. It stopped working and would not turn on in November of 07. We took the TV to the Philips recommended repair shop. Their first repair did not fix the problem and there it sits waiting for parts. We are very unhappy and will never purchase another Philips product!
Philips LCD TV W/Ambilight.......2007-06-09
Replaced my rear projection Wega with this unit and I am pleased with the TV except for a few items.
The ambilight is wonderful, some people see it as a gimmick but i find the viewing is much nicer and adds to the room. Maybe a light behind the TV would be as good, but I don't think so.
The picture is sharp and crisp and the different formats make viewing non-HD channels that much easier.
The speakers are in need of an upgrade they are tinny and have no bottom, if not for the surround system, this TV would have went back to the supplier. In addtion there is no way to turn them off, with the SONY I could turn off the TV speakers and opt for the output only which helps in TV watching.
All in all its a great upgrade.
Philips 37PF9631D Review.......2007-04-22
I bought this LCD television after seeing it next to three other models from Sony, Samsung and Sharp. It had a sharper picture and more depth of image than any of the others. Pixel Plus 2 HD, which is Philip's image processing utility, is what did the trick. The picture quality was just slightly better than the others but with Pixel Plus 2 HD turned on it was considerably better than the others. I usually prefer Sony XBR models but the picture quality won me over. With a 6 millisecond response time and a 6000:1 contrast ratio the specs are excellent. In addition blacks are black on this TV. The outer space scenes in Star Wars are deep black. The audio has been criticized but there is a graphic equalizer down in the menu to boost the high frequencies. Doing this makes the audio more than acceptable. In addition to contrast, brightness, sharpness etc. this TV has extensive capabilities in the picture menu which include Dynamic contrast, signal processing, active control, color enhancement and digital noise reduction. Signal processing turns Pixel Plus on or off. DNR or digital noise reduction works extremely well as it doesn't seen to affect sharpness at all. The other items modify the image constantly with each frame to produce a stunning picture. I've had the set now for almost six months with absolutely no problems. The picture quality from DVD's or OTA broadcasts in 720p or 1080i look fantastic. I can't say enough about this TV. I bought it primarily for the picture quality and I'm completely satisfied.
AMBILIGHT ROCKS.......2007-04-09
I'm totally obessed with ambilight. i love it.
had the tv for almost 2 months now...
dont know about the overheating thing people talk about.
baseball games with ambilight is so nice..the green field goes all behind the tv......
1 major fault is the SOUND. It is really bad. Really bad. Your going to need surround sound. I play dvds on my PS2 and i have to bring the sound up to around 95 out of 100.
failed after 2 monthes.......2007-03-04
I purchased this tv for $1,300.00 on Dec. 27, 2006, on Feb. 28, 2007 it would no longer turn on. I have contacted Philips and they have been completely unsatisfactory. I have since googled and found hundreds of consumers who have had the same problem and recieved horrible customer service. I expect a brand new tv to last longer than 2 months.I don't know how they manage to stay in business with this type of product and lack of customer service. Research Philips record on customer satisfaction before you throw away your money
