Philips 32PF7320A 32" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HDTV

Amazon.com Product Description

Save space and enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish, 32-inch Philips 32PF7320A widescreen LCD TV, a great choice for your living room's entertainment center. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts, and you can receive high-definition TV right out of the box with the optional, removable CableCARD, which picks up HD (ATSC) broadcasts from your digital cable provider (digital cable subscription required). This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible).

This set 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.

The 32PF7320A has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 176-degree viewing angle, very fast 8 ms (millisecond) response time (great for sports), a 550 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and an 800:1 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 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: 3 (1 side)
S-Video In: 3 (1 side)
Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
HDMI In: 2
RF In: 1
PC Audio In: 1
PC Audio Out: 1
Monitor Out: 1
USB: 1
Headphone: 1

The USB connector 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
CableCARD -- The CableCARD system enables the "Plug-and-Play DTV" functionality as agreed between cable operators and consumer electronics manufacturers. It allows the decoding of encrypted or scrambled content delivered from the cable system. CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled television without a CableCARD inserted receives high-definition standard TV broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted, the television receives high-value high-definition, cable programming.

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.

Caveat Emptor.......2007-02-24

I should have trusted my instincts and gone with the Sony set instead of this piece of junk!! The picture on this set is not that great and I love the feature of this set that causes the screen to black out for a second whenever bright lights flash across the screen. Philips suggested using the HDMI connection instead of using the component cables. After spending $100 on HDMI cables the problem persisted. I ended up selling the POS on ebay and buying the Sony set. This is the first and last Philips product I will EVER buy. Caveat Emptor everybody!!!

display.......2007-01-21

Not a bad deal!!!.......2006-12-22

I bought my set around June of 2006 and have had little to no problems with the refurbished set. The only problem i had with the refurbished aspect is that the sets stand did not sit level;so i have coasters on one side of the base stand and you could never tell. You can't beat two HDMI inputs and the picture quality is great,even with analog cable. The X-Box 360 looks perfect. The sleek look of the T.V. is just cake. The USB input is cool being that Philips creates fixes for bugs that where apparently wrong and you can view pictures if you do that. I did have an issue with Philips customer service. I bought a Philips upconverting DVD player and the remote for the T.V. was not compatible with the Philips player. How is that? I don't get it. In conclusion i don't see how you could get a better deal. Especially it now costing a mere 750 bucks.

Just Bought.......2006-12-20

I have just had this TV for 3 days but am impressed with the picture quality
I connected my DVD Player/Recorder with a "S" video cable & am well pleased with the display.
I did find the best price at Sam's Club after spending over 2 weeks looking online & in local stores. I paid $961.00 including tax.
Maybe as I get more into it, I may find some of the glitchs that other reviewers have found.
For now I am very well pleased.

Cable Card Incompatabilities and Poor Customer Service.......2006-10-03

I purchased a 32" LCD television last month to hang on my wall in the bedroom and was excited since your 32PF7320A/37 product was advertised to support a cable card. I considered several other manufacturers, but chose Philips based on the fact that I could use this TV in the bedroom without a cable box.

I received the TV and hooked it up and the picture was great. I was very happy with my purchase and even told some friends how good the quality was.

I then had the cable company come out to install the cable card. The technician tried for about an hour to get the television to recognize the cable card to no avail. I figured we had a bad cable card and he would need to try another. I then remembered that the Samsung DLP TV I have in the family room accepts a cable card, so we tried it there and it worked fine. We then tried it again in the Philips TV and it still didn't recognize the card. I told the cable company to take the card back since it looks like a problem with the TV. I did owe a $45 fee for the service call to install the cable card.

Next I called Philips to get the TV fixed. They had me try some things and nothing worked, so they gave me two service center phone numbers. I called the first one and they said Philips had so many problems with cable cards that they wouldn't want to accept the TV until I made further progress with Philips. I then called the second company who said they wouldn't know how to fix this problem and were going to call Philips for support. They called me back stating that Philips was aware of the problem, and only suggested using a cable box instead of the cable card. This was totally unacceptable since the whole reason I purchased the TV was for the cable card functionality.

I then called Philips tech support again to find that they knew about the problem and were not willing to do anything to fix it. They said I can wait to see if they ever come up with a firmware solution, but they were not even sure if the problem was actively being worked on. I thought this was horrible customer support and asked what other options I have. Would they swap the TV, refund my purchase price or pay for the cable company to attempt several cable cards in case one worked. The response was basically, that they scammed me and now I am stuck with this TV that I cannot use as advertised.

Basically the TV was marketed as supporting a cable card and there was no mention that the TV was incompatible with the largest manufacturer of these cable cards. Philips now takes a position that they know they have an incompatibility, but choose to continue to deceive customers and offer no support to customers that fall victim to this scam.

Luckily I was able to stop my friends from purchasing the Philip's sets I recommended. I would hate to tarnish my reputation by recommending a faulty product with such poor customer support. I will continue to recommend against all Philips products in the future and am very disappointed in Philips stance in this matter. I hope Philips would reconsider doing the right thing and taking responsibility for their lack of information in the advertising material. At minimum, the product brochures should contain a note that not all cable cards are supported by this product and they should contact Philips for a list of known supported cable cards.

Tekkeon myTune FM Transmitter.......2006-07-09

Fair product. Works fine when I play most musical genre except hard rock/metal. For some reason it creates some static when hard rock/metal is played. It also doesn't have an option to not charge the ipod while playing. I'm not sure if continually charging your ipod while it plays is good for the overall battery life. The up side is that I don't have to carry hundreds of CDs in my car. Now I only carry my ipod and the tuner. Overall I am fairly satisfied with it, but will probably get another brand in the future.
