| The Bottom Line | 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. | Although its picture quality can't quite live up to the high price, the Samsung UNB7000 series is a technological and design tour de force. | CNET did not review the Philips 47PFL5603D, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. |
