A Home Theater Under Rs 1 Lakh
By: Siddharth Bhatia   |   Oct 22, 2007

Screen
Philips 32 PFL7422- 54,000

Philips TVs are dependable and score well when it comes to quality. Price-wise they are competitive enough so we decided to run a check on this model to see whether it can fit our list of HT products under a lakh. And it did, so here's the lowdown.

The aesthetics are simple, yet the TV looks very suave. The bezel is black, which perches comfortably on a metallic silver stand and frame. The speaker is at the bottom and seems to blend into the frame.

 

The performance is great, especially the detail offered by Philips' proprietary Pixel Plus technology. The native resolution is WXGA, or 1366 x 768, while the max supported video format is 1080i, making the unit qualify for the famous marketing tag of 'HD-ready'.

The rated contrast is not the best, but the image still looks very nice, thanks to the Dynamic Contrast Enhancement. Besides there are lots of great options to choose from, as listed below.

Features:

  • Aspect ratio: Widescreen
  • Brightness: 500 cd/m²
  • Contrast ratio (typical): 4000:1
  • Response time (typical): 8 ms
  • Viewing angle (H / V): 178 / 178 degree
  • Diagonal screen size: 32 inch / 81 cm
  • Display screen type: LCD WXGA Active Matrix TFT
  • Panel resolution: 1366 x 768p
  • Picture enhancement: Pixel Plus HD, Dynamic contrast enhancement, 3/2 - 2/2 motion pull down, 3D Combfilter, 3D MA deinterlacing, Active Control, Blue stretch, Black stretch, White stretch, Green enhancement, Color Temperature Adjustment, Digital Noise Reduction, Progressive Scan, Smart Picture, Automatic skin tone correction
  • Screen enhancement: Anti-Reflection coated screen
  • Sound Output power (RMS): 2 x 5W
  • Set dimensions (W x H x D): 791 x 539.2 x 109 mm
  • Product weight (+stand): 18.1 kg

Philips is more than enough. I spent 3 months doing research on which 32" LCD I should go for. Sonly and samsung are expensive and good. But we use TV mostly for cable TV/Sky TV or playing DVD's. We are not going to get many HD or blue ray movie CD's in market. Still I say that the HD quality is excellent in philips even though Sony or Samsung look a bit better. But when it comes to daily use to cable tv channels, this is a good one!
My advice: Sony, Samsung etc, dealers run only HD format as demo. Ask the dealer to show how just an ordinary cable TV output looks like in all the model. All look the same. Then why spend more money? Thats why I went for philips.

Sids,

I love the way you packed everything into 1 lac figure. I, for one, would have gone for better sound and got a big, bulky, and less expensive CRT TV instead - and put some of that "saved" money in better speakers.

Nice work. Keep it up.

instead of philips screen we can opt for sony v series 32 inch secondly you should also mention the availability of the products such as denon and onkyo. from where we can buy and get it serviced it should be one of the parameters for recommendations as we do not buy home theatres every 6 months.

Is a Yamaha YHT 185 as good as this
Onkyo? It is available at a festival discount and I was wondering if I could buy it.
