Amazon.com Product Description
Save space and enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish, 32-inch Philips 32PF5320 widescreen LCD TV, a great choice for small- to medium-sized living rooms. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts and is capable of displaying crisp high definition video with an optional HD receiver. This set can also double as a PC monitor, and with its Picture-in-Graphics small window in the main picture, you can simultaneously view your PC's desktop as you watch television programming. This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible--200mm x 100mm). The 32PF5320 has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 176-degree viewing angle, very fast 18 ms (millisecond) response time (great for sports), a 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and an 600:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) Other features include Philips Digital Crystal Clear video processing chip (for optimal color, contrast, and sharpness levels), an anti-reflection coated screen, auto volume leveler, adjustable color temperature and sharpness, sleep timer, and V-Chip parental controls. The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture. The Active Control function uniquely and intelligently optimizes picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions. This TV has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 15 watts per channel (for 30 watts of total power), and can produce Dolby Digital virtual surround sound, emulating a 5.1-channel sound field from just two speakers. It also offers the following connections: - Composite AV (RCA) In: 2 (1 side)
- S-Video In: 2 (1 side)
- Component Video In (Y PB PR): 1
- HDMI In: 2
- RF In: 1
- PC Audio In: 1
- PC VGA In: 1
- Headphone: 1
Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection. What's in the Box

Summary: Great TV...at first, then...big problems! 2007-05-04
Comment: After 10 months of perfect viewing, this tv developed bugs. First, upon start-up the image would be blk/wht and only cycling the power would return the color. Then 2.5 months later, right when warranty ended, no sound upon start-up, too-bright image, a glitch, then sound comes on but image is blk/wht. After 4 min, the image returns to normal.
Philips tv's have quality issues. Do a search on youtube or google and you'll find many other unhappy Philips consumers.

Summary: Great TV couple of irritations 2006-11-16
Comment: I've had this screen for a year. As a European ex-pat currently living in the US, I was looking for something that was multi voltage and multi system (so that I wasn't lumbered with a big PC monitor on my return) and this was the only screen that fit my requirements.
Really pleased with picture quality and functionality. Downsides:
*) AV switching is a bit of a button fest - and not compatible with some multi-remotes (including, ironically the Philips RC9800i)
*) As reported by others, in HD mode, the screen blanks for a couple of seconds when 'overloaded' by a bright signal - this is particularly noticible in CSI when the cameras flash. I've tried different cables to no avail.
*) Not very loud on the HDMI - often find I have to crank it up past 80 for DVDs from an LG LDA-511
The frustrating thing is that all of these are fixable in software - but it doesn't look like there is an easy way to update the firmware.
So, overall, a quality versatile TV let down by a couple of simple flaws.

Summary: Now that's what I'm talking about !!! 2006-09-26
Comment: I bought this last week at Sam's, and am AMAZED at the picture, esp. the HD. After taking back a Vizio piece of crap, this is more like it. I installed it in my basement family room, and it doubles as the computer monitor. My ONLY regret is that they didnt have another one for our bedroom !!!

Summary: Good budget model, a couple of flaws 2006-03-16
Comment: I bought this model because it works on US & European voltages and both PAL and NTSC signals which is a feature not many other models have.
The picture is very sharp on HD channels, but does show up the flaws on NTSC channels over my digital cable box (let's face it - there is a huge difference in picture quality between these two broadcasting standards)! I wouldn't recommend this TV for anyone who doesn't have a HD source.
PIP only works with certain inputs but this is no big deal.
PC-VGA input isn't fantastically sharp so also wouldn't recommend this as a primary monitor. Although 1024x768 is the official supported resolution for VGA input I set my PC input to 1366x768@60Hz and it works well.Note that there is some bleed over between HD component input and VGA output - when the VGA cable is plugged in it gave a little picture and sound interference when viewing the HD component source.
Speakers aren't very powerful and sadly not detachable. I use my surround sound amp instead.
The HD component input has a 'bug' which results in the screen going blank for half a second (with an error "unsupported resolution") whenever there's a bright flash on screen in a HD resolution. I bought a HDMI cable and this resolved the problem but this might be an issue if you don't have a HD source with HDMI output.
Overall, though, this is a great TV with excellent picture quality with HD input and a good price. And the multi-voltage support is useful if you might be taking it abroad sometime.

Summary: Best LCD in it's price range. 2006-03-06
Comment: We bought this HDTV at Sam's Club. It had been previously purchased and returned sating it had bad sound. A local TV repair shop tested it out and nothing was found to be wrong. Sam's knocked $300.00 off thier price since it had been opened. I have tested this TV using every connection and found it to be an outstanding unit. I hooked up our Motorola cable top box to the HDMI input on the TV. The cable box (Charter Cable), has a DVI-D output, so I am using a DVI-D to HDMI converter cable. (Bought the cable at Wal-Mart for $43.00) It is a totally digital connection this way. The picture is fantastic even on non-HDTV signals.
I hooked up our DVD player using the Component video inputs and keep the DVD player on progressive scan, again a great picture.
I have not found any negatives except the remote which is small and hard to handle. I think they made it small/thin to go with the LCD thin TV design. My only complaint, which isn't really an issue for most, is that using composite or the HDMI input for the DVD doesn't allow selecting image formats. Some older DVDs use a native 16:9 display and are not widescreen enhanced, hence you get bars all the way around the image, much like a picture frame. However, most DVDs are widescreen enhanced so they fill the entire screen, or most of it. Also, when expanding an image, you would get less detail because it is "stretching" the video to fit the screen. BTW: Most HDTVs are not capable of changing formats when using anything but the RCA/SVHS hook-ups anyway.
I think most everyone would be happy with this HDTV!
