Reviews of the Philips 42PFL7432D

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively accurate color after calibration; user-menu fine color temperature controls; Ambilight backlight can approach the color temperature standard; handsome styling with swivel stand; ample connectivity with three HDMI inputs.
The Bad: Produces a lighter color of black; subpar off-angle viewing characteristics; awkward menu system; most Ambilight modes are distracting.
The Bottom Line: Although its black-level performance hampers its picture quality against similarly priced flat-panel LCDs, the Philips 42PFL7432D has its share of strong points.

Review Summary: Philips's remote is long, thin, and backlit, and it has plenty of empty space around its few buttons. But that ease of use comes at a cost: The remote isn't programmable
