Reviews
It is expensive, but it’s really very nice, and it sets a new standard for black and contrast levels. Color reproduction is ultra-precise, and we have hardly seen better noise reduction. There is little doubt that Philips 42PFL9803 is a fiery HDTV.

The Philips 42PFL9803H’s LED lighting helps it produce pictures that not only make it the finest performing LCD TV I’ve seen, but also raise it to a level where it deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Pioneer’s KURO plasmas. You really can’t give any greater praise on a TV than that!

The Philips 42PFL9803 offers something very special indeed. The picture was as smooth as anything we’ve seen at the show, the black levels were startling and the colour reproduction was hypnotic. If we had to take a guess, we’d say that the Kuro still has it on black levels. Still, though, that’s but one important feature among many. Be excited about this TV. Because LCD technology just grew up.
