| The Bottom Line | While we had some complaints about its picture quality, the Philips 42PF9631D's built-in backlight and sweet style will appeal to people who want something different. | Although it has its share of picture-quality problems, the Eco-friendliness of Philips' 42PFL5603D flat-panel LCD will win the day for consumption-conscious shoppers. | With excellent picture quality marred by only a couple of flaws, the Panasonic TC-PG10 series sits near the head of the class of 2009. | The Philips PFL6704D series falls short of the competition's performance, but it does have a cool design and relatively accurate color. | Although its black-level performance hampers its picture quality against similarly priced flat-panel LCDs, the Philips 42PFL7432D has its share of strong points. |
