subject: The Philips 32pfl3504d 720p - The Philips 32pfl3504d 720p Best Price! [print this page]
Philips 32PFL3504D 720p is my first lcd TV as I was pulled kicking and screaming into the digital age...
I cannot compare it to anything else, therefore, so I picked a 3 star rating.
I like the picture, sound is okay. Menus are quite easy to use and intuitive.
Now the bad: I am amazed that the remote gives you like one second to put in maybe a two or more digit number. If you don't do it exactly right, and fast, the wrong number will appear and the wrong station is what you will get. This is not adjustable and is annoying.
The remote, in general, is not friendly. Buttons are too small to read. For that matter, the channels on the TV are also VERY small to read, much smaller than on my 19 inch analog.
One small criticism... why does the TV always start on with "Philips" blazing across it? I think I know the brand name by now. And, no, it is not in "demo" mode, no options to get rid of this.
It goes go away in a few seconds so no problem. But since I was listing the negatives...
Again, do like the picture, the price, and sound mostly is good.

The Philips 32PFL3504D 720p
By Billy J. Baker
Disappointed only one aspect of The Philips 32PFL3504D 720p and that is the sound. There are three other Philips TVs in our house and none of them is as bad as this. Moreover, this is the only TV in our house that Phillips does not have a headphone jack. We use this jack to connect other on our televisions Boze external speakers to improve sound by disabling the internal speakers.
On this set if external speakers are connected to real audio outputs there is no way to turn off the TV internal speakers. This contrasts with the objective of creating a rounder sound. I spent many frustrating moments trying to find a way to get better sound. The manual does not solve the problem.
