This TV is the 47 inch version of the Philips 42PFL8404H that we have tested.
For the rest, its spec is identical on all points to the model tested and we can therefore expect to find the same results on this model. Sometimes however, manufacturers do equip different sized versions differently with different panels. If this is the case, the results published here will not apply to the different panels. Contrast, black levels, colours and ghosting will all be subject to notable differences on different panels.
And for those who use the same panel for all sizes, they give strictly identical results, except for brightness which can vary very slightly from one size to another, which can affect contrast. We have been able to check this in testing and our results have been confirmed by those manufacturers we have consulted on the subject.
Pluses
-
Ambilight
-
Good angles of vision
Minuses
-
Lack of contrast
-
No manual settings for backlighting
Although it wont satisfy the expert user, this TV will certainly be a boon for those looking for a simple model with the features necessary for a pleasant image.
