Amazon.com Product Description

The 20-inch Philips 20PF5120 LCD TV is a great addition to a small room, such as your kitchen, or for cosily watching movies in your bedroom. It can also double as a PC monitor with its VGA video input. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts. It features Philips' Crystal Clear III video processing, which combines a whole range of enhancements to provide a better picture, including a dynamic contrast, blue stretch and green enhancement for the most natural looking colors. This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible).

The 20PF5120 has a 640 x 480-pixel resolution, 160-degree horizontal and 120-degree vertical viewing angles, 16 ms (millisecond) response time, a 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and a 500:1 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.) It has three screen format adjustment options: 4:3, 16:9 compressed, and 4:3 expand.

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 TV has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 5 watts per channel (for 10 watts of total power). Philips' Incredible Surround audio technology dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension--without the use of additional speakers.

It includes a DVI-D input for uncompressed digital RGB connection from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signal to analog, it delivers an unblemished image. Thanks to the non-degraded signal, you get less flicker and a clearer picture. The DVI input is fully backward compatible with HDMI sources, and also uses HDCP copy protection. It also includes the following connections:

Composite AV (RCA) In: 1
S-Video In: 1
Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
DVI-D In: 1
RF In: 1
VGA PC input: 1
PC Audio In: 1

Nice Set.......2007-07-09

This TV is nice, it has almost all the hookups you need.
Regular cable does look a bit... regular but that just may be because I have split the signal to another TV(a flat screen LCD) DVDs look just as great from a regular dvd player on this and my flat screen TV but now I can tell even better what is CGI and what is real. I thought that 20" would be too small but the clarity leaves that thought behind.
My biggest problem is with the remote control and menu functions, they're clumsy, inconvenient, incomplete.

Nutshell: If you've liked the picture on an LCD flat screen, this is not THAAAAaaat much better.

Pros:
+Great picture with unsplit cable connection
+Can change picture format with one button
+Change Color format with one button
+Good sound**
+Change sound format with one button
+Looks good even when off
+PIP when using as PC monitor-to-TV**
+Smooth Sleek remote
+Some nice remote functions

Cons for TV:
-May need color adjustments
-Clock...? Where's the clock?
-TV Menus are awkward and incomplete
-Not HDTV... is EDTV...
-No composite(RCA) audio output
-Must use headphone jack for any type of surround and then the tv speakers are disabled.

Cons for Remote:
-Surf feature on remote??? It's a menu. I just as well enter the channels myself.
-I would rather the input/source select to cycle the input channels than a menu.
-Button placement is a bit awkward.
-User manual Describes functions that this unit doesn't have(Sleep/Wakeup)
-PIP on remote is only for if using as PC monitor

Despite the cons, I would still get this unit for what i does do and for the price.

Buyer Beware.......2007-06-18

Less than a year and the volume died. Since under warranty, Phillips told me to send TV back and they would send a new one. The "new" one was a crappy looking refurished TV that didn't work. Customer service no help. Frustrating experience.

Great TV at a Great Price.......2007-03-16

I have three other TV's - 27", 21", and a 13". This little TV is in my bedroom and has the best picture of them all. I have replaced all my cables with good RG-6 coax cable and the Philips still has the best picture.

This TV clears up the usual aggravating "grainy" look some of us have to live with on analog cable and so far I'm well pleased. It should be really nice when I go to Digital TV.

Happy With Philips.......2007-01-10

My husband purchased this TV for me for Christmas. So far, I am very happy with it. Wouldn't have minded a larger screen, but what I do have seems to be a great picture.

Good TV. If Wall mounting, READ ON:.......2006-12-31

First thing: I bought this tv from Target walk-in after seeing it here. Great picture for SD 4:3. Very good sound (5 watts/channel vs. 2 or 3 w/c for comparables). Near complete input selection (coax, composite, s-video, component, DVI-I). A good tv for this class IF NOT WALL MOUNTED. If you plan to use the included stand exclusively, this seems to be a worthwhile tv.
Backstory: Bought tv as a gift to be wall mounted in a kitchen on an articulating arm. Chose a Peerless SA730P articulating mount for 10-24" flat screens (a quality mount from a respected company). Tv to be mounted about 5' high, with slight tilt down to table. Arm to swivel tv around for cooking/cleanup viewing. Tilt to be locked, arm extension and rotation allowed for viewing.
Problem: The mounting point for an external mount (VESA 100 standard) is on the BOTTOM OF THE INCLUDED STAND! That's right. The stand pictured above is not removed to reveal a mount point in the center of the tv's back, but pivoted back 90° behind the speakers revealing the VESA 100 bolt pattern on the bottom. This moves the tv out from the wall by about 3-4". But, more important, it moves the tv up and out from the mount point MULTIPLYING the weight of the tv. Imagine holding the tv from a handle centered in the back of the screen. Now imagine supporting the same tv from a 4" lever connected to the bottom of the tv.
Result: Failure of the mount to hold the tv with anything over a perceptible tilt down. I returned the tv and bought another brands' 4:3 20" lcd. The stand included with this tv unbolted from the VESA 100 pattern centered on the back of the screen (as I think is the norm). The articulated mount has since functioned well and as planned, with plenty of movement. The bummer is I think the picture was better, and I know the sound was, with the Philips.
