"NO FlashPlayer included"
0.5 starson by husarichPros: Philips offers a quality picture. Back lighting is nice.
Smart TV means you can go to normal video sites, but you cannot stream shows. Able to surf the internet, but slowly.
You can hook up to your computer and use it as a monitor.Cons: Majority of video available on the internet today is viewed in FlashPlayer which Philips doesn't have.
Cannot add FlashPlayer. Cannot go video sites & stream shows in flash. No PBS NewsHour.
Expensive.
Too little RAM means the pages load very slowlySummary: Although the majority of videos, movies, series and shows available on the internet today are viewed in FlashPlayer,
Philips Smart TV has no FlashPlayer and doesn't allow your to add it.
Therefore I give All Philips Smart TV models one star.
You are paying a large amount of money for the computer part of this television set. It has limited functions designed to be that way by Philips.
Philips needs to rethink what they are doing. It is too early to buy this TV. They have many improvements to make on future models.
Very slow response. More like a 1998 computer speed.
Recommend buying a large monitor for your computer and upgrading your PC with TV capabilities. You will be better served.
Surprised that the CNET editors didn't catch this, because I read their reviews before we bought ours. Do not make our mistake.
Hope this helps you!

That's fine and dandy that you want a TV to be an internet browser, but what is the quality of the picture, sound and ease of use with the setup and operation.
Does this TV show a hockey puck flying across the ice or a tennis ball hitting the line off a serve instead of a blurry blob. For movie watching, does the quality of the sound come across or should I look at also purchasing a surround sound system with it? When it came out of the box, was it easy to setup? Does it work with the DVR remote? Does it do the simple things that a TV should do?
I would have written more but CNET limits my reply to 1000 characters, even though it says 15,000 character.
