With a PC
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 to the 42PFL9703H which we tested except in two areas:

•    It doesn’t have an HD digital tuner and therefore loses a star in its final grade.
•    The 47 inch diagonal means a bigger image but it will also slightly accentuate rescaling defects with SD sources.

Characteristics, the panel and circuitry are identical and only brightness may vary slightly which minimally affects contrast. According to manufacturers (and our tests confirm), results from one diagonal size can easily be extrapolated to identical models of bigger or smaller sizes.
