Philips Plasma 42pf9630a has green banding in picture

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2006
Review: I own this TV but wish I didn't. The picture shows green on the shadow side of peoples faces along with a thinner red band (false contour) next to it. I have seen more than one of these TVs with the same problem. The problem is worse with contrast...

So Far So Good

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2006
Review: I bought this set just prior to the NFL season and have found it to be a great performer. I am surprised at the other reviews because I have had little issues with the TV. My concerns are more with Direct TV than anything else. Voice and picture on...

Good picture, when it works

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: Build quality over time just is not worth it. Will not buy another Philips product.
Review: I bought a a 42pf9630a in 2005 through work and received a discount. At the time, I was happy with the price (about 2300) but have battled with the TV ever since.

After less than a year, I had to have it serviced. After viewing a while,...

Stay Away!!

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2006
Review: For the first 3 weeks the I thought this was an awesome TV. I did all the research and Consumer Reports research. In the last two weeks however, the TV will intermittenly turn itself off and on. And while that was bad enough - it would at least go...

Awesome Philips Plasma

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2005
Review: Out of the box, this Philips TV is a marvel. It was easy to set up and connect a digital cable box (although not necessary due to the built in tuner) and a DVD player. It has two HDMI inputs to make your life easier and with less cords. The picture...

BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: You WILL BE SORRY if you purchase a Philips brand tv
Review: I hope everyone looking for a tv reads the reviews here on the Philips brand. They are the worst company for customer service. I did my research before buying this tv last year, and boy it did not pay off. I wish I would have seen the reviews I am...

Bad Television

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2006
Review: I bought a 42Pf9630A Plasma from Best buy and there are many design faults on this television.
1: The television turns of (picture and sound) for 30 seconds every 1 to 2 hours of viewing
2: When you turn this television off there is a red...

Beware

Date of Review:  May 24, 2006
Review: The TV worked only 3 weeks and then had to wait 7 weeks for a "part". They finally replaced the entire TV, which they should have done up front. Let the warranty lapse 2 months while I paid for satellite service and TIVO I could not watch and made...

Don't buy

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this product at this time as there are serious defects with it.
Review: We purchased this television in February of 2006. We loved the ambilight feature and so did everyone who saw it. Worked great for about 2 months and then the picture would go off and on. We originally thought it was our HD cable box and so we...
