Hi.
I'm wondering if anyone knows much about the philips 37PF9731 TV.
37", 1920x1080 (1080i only though?), 6000:1 contrast, 3ms response, ambilight, divx over the network, ....
They were released about november/december last year over here, and I recently managed to find one. Simply put I thought it looked utterly amazing.
However I've read they used to have very serious problems with the scanning backlight dying (about 8 weeks in?). Is this problem still prevalent?
Otherwise I was seriously impressed. The special backlight certainly worked as advertised, as I couldn't see a hint of motion blur, and the black level was amazing. (TV was running a 720p demo reel, with fast moving scenes too)
The only thing I noticed was that very dark objects became solid black too quickly, but I suspect this was a contrast setting on the demo TV.
Basically I can get one of these for a bit less than the price of a 40" 720p samsung/sony v series...
very tempted...
