I have bought before refurb items from philips(even my 1st LCD tv), no complaints here they all have worked properly out of box. This time I bought the 47″ looked like a great deal. Hope it works just as good as the other stuff i gotten there.

Yan – Yes, I have an LCD.. As for room, you can always put it up on the wall..

You can even get a small LCD that will fit in your suitcase :)

Mike, you talk like a salesman. ;-)
Do you have an LCD?

I have another problem with flat-screens. The furniture set I currently have in my living room is not LCD friendly. It fits my current TV just fine but the big screen will look ugly in there.

Oh boy, just 12 years back I could probably carry all my possessions in one suitcase…

If you don’t watch much TV, there really no incentive to upgrade. But if you are sports fan, and like to watch the occasional HBO series, HDTV is awesome. LCDs are great because they consume less power and take up less space in your home.

hehe. same here – I have a 32″ radiation king that works fine and have no incentives to upgrade. I did consider seriously once when 42″ Olevia went on sale briefly at Target for like $500 (display item, coupon, credit card sign up, you know the drill…) but it was more of a deal hunting adrenaline than the actual need…

I bought a refurbished tv from Philips that didn’t work properly out of the box. It took 6 months before I had a working set. I’m with Alex.

I have not ordered anything but it was very tempting. My Sony Trinitron CRT refuses to break after 8 years of abuse by small kids and I have very little incentive to upgrade since I don’t watch it much. I do have a flat screen monitor on my home PC. ;-)

I had bad experience with Philips products, as well as a couple of my friends. I know YMMV, but I am not getting anything from Philips, except maybe lightbulbs ;)
