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. 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. Although its black-level performance hampers its picture quality against similarly priced flat-panel LCDs, the Philips 42PFL7432D has its share of strong points. The Philips PFL6704D series falls short of the competition's performance, but it does have a cool design and relatively accurate color. CNET did not review the Philips 47PFL5603D, but we did review a smaller model in the series.
