How to Fix Audio/Video Problems
By Sean J Biehle
I agree with many of the other reviewers that this is a solid TV for the price.The sound and picture issues appear to be associated with the version of the firmware that ships with the product. You can upgrade the firmware rather easily by downloading the update (42pfl3704d_f7_fus_aen.zip) from the Philips Support site ([...]), loading the appropriate version to a USB drive, unplugging your TV and then plugging the USB drive into the available port on the side of the TV. When you plug the TV back in and power it on, the firmware will upgrade automatically.Direct link: [...]One final note, I tried to copy this firmware from a Mac to a USB drive and the TV would not recognize it. I advise to download the firmware to a PC and then copy to your USB.

NO Warranty possible
By RockClimber
We bought the tv in January and have had problems ever since. Without warning the sound instantly goes to a blaring static sound. No voice or other sounds, just horrible static. Picture remains fine. We called Philips and they said we could trade our new tv for a "refurbished" unit. OR we could get it serviced if we sent it to Bartlesville, OK (no service in OKC or Tulsa) or Denver, CO. What good is a 1 yr warranty if there is no place to do warranty work or they will only send you someone else's headache. Will do all I can to prevent others from getting ripped off by Philips.

Greatest HDTV in it's Price Range!!
By C. Peterson
After doing alot of searching for a HDTV, I choose this model and brand.I orginally had purchased a Vizio 42inch 1080 HDTV for 699$, I then seen this tv at Target for the exact same size, most of the same specs, but some better!!!I hooked up the Phillips HDTV, and I must say it is EXCELLENT! The picture is much clearer, the design is more stylish, remote control doesn't feel cheap or look cheap compared to most tv's in it's price range.UPDATE - 3 years later the tv has stopped working. It won't power on, and only makes a buzzing noise, it. Was gear while it lated. Maybe I should have kept the Vizio, because at the time Phillips was known as a better tv brand, but as of today Vizio is ranked with the bigger brands such as Sony, Lg, Panasonic, Samsung and etc.
