  • Boast more colours than a trillion rainbows.
  • The only time you hear numbers like ‘2250 trillion’ these days is when they’re describing bank bailouts or the years until Sony is profitable again. So it’s a genuine pleasure using these very digits to enumerate the number of colo...

The editors didn't like

  • Erm
  • Not a lot really. It's a bit pricey for a 37inch screen.
  • Try as we might
  • We haven’t got a bad word to say about the Philips. Ow
  • Stop twisting our arms. Alright then
  • The remote and picture controls are really geeky. Ouch! And it’s a bit expensive
  • But that’s it. Now put that drill down.
  • Poor remote
  • PC networking falters
  • Expensive
  • Remote control isn’t the best. Takes longer than other sets to get it performing well
  • That remote control wheel will drive you round the bend
  • Not very cheap
  • Bright backlight in dark scenes
  • Dynamic changes to the gamma curve (cannot be deactivated)
  • Actual contrast lower than expected
  • The dial on the remote turns out to be not too practical
  • Doesnt come cheap
  • It takes work to optimise
  • Pointless processing modes
  • Illconceived remote
  • More noise than most

  • Boast more colours than a trillion rainbows.
  • Erm, not a lot really. It's a bit pricey for a 37inch screen.
  • An awesome television in every way, the Philips 37PFL9603D has trillions of colours, amazing black levels and it glows! Like we said... awesome....

  • Philips realises that many of us want our hi-tech products to look and feel hi-tech, not fade into the decor like an Ikea sideboard. The 37PFL9603D is not only a superb TV, but a sci-fi icon that glows like it’s been irradiated with some kind of pro...

  • Abstract:  Philips Cineos 32PFL9603D is very different from the average 32in LCD TV. The list of image-processing features is seemingly endless, as is the wealth of inputs and outputs. It also looks better than the average LCD TV thanks to a glossy black beze...

  • It is worth noting that it takes some tweaking to get the most out of the Philips 42PFL9603D. If you are prepared to devote some time to the setup of this TV it will reward you with one of the finest all round performances available from an LCD.You mig...

  • Picture; sound; design; features
  • That remote control wheel will drive you round the bend; not very cheap; bright backlight in dark scenes
  • This is a good, sturdy TV for people who want high-end performance on a smaller scale. Picture and sound both help to sell the package and the styling is clean, fresh and attractive ...

  • These days, you can buy a 42in screen for less dosh than the £1800 Philips wants for the 42PFL9603D. And maybe you won’t want that acquired-taste Ambilight switched on. Even so, the picture on this screen, ably supported by strong, clear sound, make...

  • Ambilight, judder-free Blu-ray pictures, four HDMI inputs, bass-heavy sound
  • Poor remote, PC networking falters, expensive
  • The fabulously featured 37PFL9603D comes dangerously close to completely redrawing the battle lines between LCD and plasma TVs...
