With a PC
Even if the connection to your PC in HDMI offers perfect framing without alteration to text, we were bothered by a shaky image when there was a change in the display (for example when opening a new window in Vista).
This television is identical except for one detail to the 42PFL7603D which we tested.  The latter is not equipped with an HD tuner while there is one in the PFL7603H.  It’s a detail that isn’t unimportant because HD cable will come to France in October 2008. So this model gains a star compared to the D version.

For the rest, its characteristics, panel, and electronic components, it is identical to the model we tested.
