Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish 26-inch Philips 32PF7321, which uses Philips' exclusive Pixel Plus video processor to increase the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and dept, every time from any source. It has a built-in ATSC tuner that pulls HD signals right from the airwaves (via an optional antenna), and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. You can also hook up an HDMI-capable cable or satellite set-top box and enjoy the the highest standard of high-definition audio and video--with a single cord connection. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It comes with a removable tabletop stand, and this set can be wall-mounted with optional hardware. The 32PF7321 delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution (capable of displaying 1080i and 720p high-definition signals), and it offers a very fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which is great for watching fast-moving. sports and action movies. It also features a wide 176-degree viewing angle, 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating--perfect for viewing colorful details in even direct sunlight--and a dynamically adjusting contrast enhancer with up to a 2400:1 contrast ratio. The Philips dynamic contrast enhancer uses video processing and unique dimming backlight technology. This delivers deep rich black levels with increased detail. The dimming backlight increases the contrast up to 5 times, and at the same time improves the viewing angle. The 3D comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). 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. Convenience features include seven widescreen modes, subtitle display (with zoom), and V-Chip parental controls. Experience great stereo sound from built-in 15-watt speakers (with a total power output of 30 watts). This set also can produce Dolby Digital virtual surround sound and it has a sound-leveling feature that automatically prevents the jumps in volume between programs and commercials. It offers the following connection options: - Composite AV (RCA): 4 in
- S-Video: 2 in
- Component Video: 2 in
- HDMI: 1 in
- RF: 1 in
The USB port on the side allows access to multimedia JPEG, MP3, MP3-PRO, and ALB (photo slideshow) files of most USB memory drives and most digital cameras (USB 1.1 memory-class device). Plug the USB connector into the slot at the side of the TV and access your photos or music files. Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV). Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. What's in the Box

Summary: Excellent buy! 2007-06-09
Comment: I purchased this television after extensive research from the Sams Club website for 750.00 plus shipping...no tax. Is that a steal or what!
This was my first HDTV purchase...and I promised myself that I wasn't going to get stuck with something for years that I wouldn't be happy with. I did tons of research and found that there were many low quality LCD HDTVs out there that cost more than what I spent on this (walk through the Walmart HDTV selection and you will see what I'm referring too)
What sold me on this television? Aside from the brightness, constrast ratios, and refresh times...which are all excellent...the SOUND ON THIS TV IS AWESOME! This HDTV comes with 2x15w channel speakers that just sound superb...especially with the HDMI connection.
My only gripe is probably that this only comes with one HDMI connection. HDMI is the only way to go these days if you want a pure digital experience. When I upgrade to an HD DVD player...I will have to run my two HDMI signals (one from cable/one from dvd) to a receiver, and then run a single HDMI cable to the TV.
Aside from this single issue, which really isn't too major, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
I've only seen this television listed online, with Sam's having by far the best price (Amazon thinks this TV is worth almost 1100.00)...and no where else...not at Circuit City, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, or at any of the Sams clubs on site. I expect the reason for this is that this TV at this price would undercut everything else they are selling.
If you can find it, jump on this baby!

Summary: Phillips--The manufacturer to avoid 2007-03-29
Comment: This TV worked well for about 3 months before the sound would suddenly "mute"
Changing the channel would usually result in sound but in about 15-20 min the same "muting would result. Talking to Phillips is like talking the used car salesman---promise anything but deliver nothing. For more good Phillips PR from customers. [...]

Summary: Great LCD TV with exceptional picutre quality 2007-01-25
Comment: I owned this TV for two weeks. All I have to say about this LCD TV is wonderful. I did a research on which brand to go with. Originally it's either Panasonic, or Sharp the top dog. But I found this one with only two or three user reviews, there is no professional review out there, and dig into more what it offer.
I need at least 3 sets of AV input and it has. One with S and one with HDMI. It also has dynamic contrast control, pixel plus, ...etc.
The picture quality is so brigh and good. Even we are watching regular channel, like SiFi and Food, it looks very like HDTV images. My wife like it because the food is so 3D and real.
I am glad that I buy the right one with very good price. I strongly recommend that you look into this TV.

Summary: Buy this TV if your looking for a Great LCD HDTV 2007-01-11
Comment: I have owned this TV for about a week. I spent hours researching LCD TV's and then watched them side by side at Best Buy, Costco, and Sam's Club My research showed that LCD's in whole are not able to reproduce blacks like plasma can, but they are now as bright if not brighter than plasma. This TV's picture can easily be seen in a brightly lit room, no need to close blinds or dim lights.
This TV has great contrast and reproduces blacks as well as any LCD TV I have looked at. Many of the LCD's I viewed in the store seemed to have washed out color especially in the blacks.
This TV has a great picture in Standard broadcast and has an exceptional picture in high definition. Many HD TV's do not do well in up resing a Standard broadcast to fit the high resolution screen. When comparing LCD HDTV in the stores be sure to look at both HD programs and standard definition broadcast. This TV does a great job with playing a Standard broadcast.
This TV produces one of the best pictures I've seen in an LCD and is almost equal to my 42" Toshiba HD plasma which produces 3D like pictures in HD.
When I was setting up this TV in it's "Installation" program when I ran the auto station search program function a warning came up that it may take 30 minutes to run, to may surprise mine ran 5 minutes or more before it started reporting found stations - at it's conclusion after about 20 minutes it reported it found 261 digital stations and 80 analog stations. After completing the programming and scanning through my cable service channels I was pleasantly surprised to find that about 10 or more of my stations could be viewed in High Definition without the use of a Cable HD box from my cable provider.
This set has a USB port that can be used for showing JPG images and album slide shows; it also can be used to update the TV's software. I went to the Philips USA website and downloaded to a USB flash drive new updated software for my TV that included 4 software updates to my TV even though I just bought the set last week.
Pro's to this TV - As good if not the best picture for a LCD TV for both HD and Standard TV. Low power consumption 140 watts, lighter weight than plasma (one person can move and install this TV), does not suffer from burn in as easily as plasma, has an HDTV ATSC tuner that allows me to watch HDTV without the cable company's HD tuner (ComCast is my cable provider and a friend of mine that has this same TV with Insight cable reports also getting HDTV without the cable company tuner), ability to download and update operating software through the USB port and a home computer.
Con's - Only one HDMI port, remote is not universally programmable and only operates Philips products (Don't be mislead because it has selections for DVD/R, CBL, TV, VCR AUX)and the remote is somewhat confusing to use in spite of some color coding to improve ease of use. This TV maybe $100 to $200 more then a price leader TV like Vizio, but the picture quality is well worth the added cost.
Philips claims that - "The Philips dynamic contrast enhancer uses video processing and unique dimming backlight technology. This delivers deep rich black levels with increased detail. The dimming backlight increases the contrast up to 5 times, and at the same time improves the viewing angle." Perhaps this is why the picture seems to me to be so much better than many of the other LCD's.
At the time I wrote this review this TV could be bought for several hundred dollars less from Sam's Club then Amazon, but I would expect Amazon will adjust their pricing as LCD prices continue to fall.

Summary: Brilliant HDTV 2006-12-26
Comment: I bought this TV a few weeks ago and so far so good. The resolution is incredibly clear, specially with HD channels. I have an XBOX 360 and I was amazed the first time I plugged it in to this TV, not only because of the crystal-clear image, but also because of the loud and clear sound. So if you're looking for an affordable TV but also want to get the most out of it, I recommend you buy this one. It's Not cheap or expensive like a Sony or Samsung and you're probably going to get about the same image quality
