The Bottom Line	While a few picture quality issues keep the Philips 47PFL9732D out of the top tier, it's still a solid nonconforming HDTV.	The Philips PFL6704D series falls short of the competition's performance, but it does have a cool design and relatively accurate color.	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.	It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
