| The Bottom Line | This extremely expensive set includes a unique backlight, but its picture quality was the most pleasant surprise. | The Philips 42PF9830A is one of the best-performing LCDs we've reviewed, although it still doesn't rival the better plasmas at this size. | Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class. | 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. | The Philips PFL6704D series falls short of the competition's performance, but it does have a cool design and relatively accurate color. |
