Sir need any feed back on the 37" Full HD Philips (Model 37PFL7422). Wala akong makitang review. Baka may nakagamit na
Word of advice:
DON'T BUT THIS MODEL!!! 37" FULL HD PHILIPS (37PFL7422).I purchased one last Xmas, was able to nego it down to a really low price with all the bells & whistles extracted like stand, dvd set etc. At that time, I didn't know that with this purchase, I just opened up Pandora's box. I have already tried two of these units and they all exhibited similar defects.
The primary issues: Contrast flickering and video 'laddering.' During dark scenes in movies, the contrast just explodes (dark, white, dark, white). This cycling frenzy will just drive you nuts believe me. Tried different discs, different players and different connections and the flickering persisted. I tried the discs on my other HT set-ups and it worked fine. I kid you not, I tried everything from different combinations of panels (dlp, lcd's), dvd players (upscalers, regular players etc) and connections (hdmi, component, rca) to determine where the error was an it all boiled down to the panel.
I called the Philips hotline to have the panel checked. After seeing the defect as well (2 technicians visited me at different times), they pulled-out the unit. After exactly 24 days, they said papalitan na lang ng circuit board. They ordered the part, tried it on but di rin na-resolve yung issue. Since di nila ma-repair, change unit na lang daw. I returned the 1st unit and got the new unit at Abensons. Total time of this entire mess (1 month) without a panel.
Brought home the new unit and SURPRISE SURPRISE... Same issues (*&*$#$(^%$#)&%$#!!! Tried the different gear permutations as well and I identified the panel to be the culprit again. Had the Philips (AVS technician) check it again for the nth time and he witnessed the defect and again concurred with my findings. The response of this 10-year Philips / AV tech: "la tayo magagawa dyan sir, baka may nakalimutan ikabit sa loob." Duh??? Our only conclusion: LEMON model.
Don't get this model - end of story. I was really attracted by the price (70+k for a FULL HD???), BUT believe me, it's not worth the hidden errors you would soon encounter. Pixel Plus HD my a**.
Anyway, am now again in the process of debating with Philips Cust Service, and am pushing for a refund already. No feedback yet but am determined to get my money back cause this is just unacceptable.
BE WARNED GUYS.When you see the unit below... STAY CLEAR!
