So Far, So Good
This model has an excellent picture with ample audio and visual adjustments.
This 32 inch model also has two stereo/surround sound front facing speakers, which is - in my opinion - better than side or rear facing speakers.
Unlike, some flat panels this model allows decimal searching. For example, if I press 85.22 on the remote control, I'll get a smooth jazz radio channel. This is a nice feature. You may want to add a subwoofer or home theatre system for more auditory depth.
There are ample signal inputs (HMDI, co-axial and others) for your cable, satellite, video games, etc. To no fault of Philips, I also added a Magnavox signal booster, to my cable input, which inceased the cable signal significantly.
In the past, I have ALWAYS had to send in my Philip/Maganvox televisons for repair, usually after the warranty had expired, and have found their customer service dept to be sub-par (passing with a C-/D+).
I'm currently past the warranty's expiration date and have had, to date, no problems. It appears as though Philips/Magnavox has iron out their quality assurance issues. Well, thus far, it's been so far, so good. I rate this one as a buy.
