No particular problem to report concerning the connection of the PFL9703D to a PC in HDMI. The image is well framed, without the degradation of text and there is a correct 1:1 ratio.

This television is identical except for one detail to the 42PFL7603H which we tested. The latter is equipped with an HD tuner while there isn’t one in the PFL7603D. It’s a detail that isn’t unimportant because HD cable will come to France in October 2008. So this model loses a star compared to the H version.
For the rest, its characteristics, panel, and electronic components, it is identical to the model we tested.
