model 30PW91107

Bought it 30 days ago at circuit city for $711 after tax. It is going back tomorrow with a fuzzy picture, a green line at the top and bottom of the picture, and a purple square at the bottom of the picture. It's like I suddenly have a 10 year old TV

Buyer beware.

theyve got a lot of bad reviews online, particularly the refurbished ones (but at least they are half the price).

I have one, it's a piece of shit.

panasonic > phillips

Phillips is the last place I would turn to for tech. Their prices are very competive, but not worth the rewards.

Philips has always made crappy tube TVs. The salesman should have at least hinted this to you...

^ nope, in fact he recommended it.

By the way, the model I posted has a typo. Should be: 30PW9110D

Dang. I've got a phillips 32" widescreen HDTV that's worked great. it was refurbished too. guess sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not.

That was probably an LCD. Their LCDs are decent (the new models at least).

in general, salesmen at best buy and circuit city know nothing about the televisions they sell

i've had a tube philips hdtv for about 1.5 years now and it works just fine.

I went to circuit city today and they told me that they'll give me a new one.

9/11/2006 3:35:39 PM

^^^^ actually its a tube. I wish I had a 32" LCD but I can't justify spending the money for one... yet

9/12/2006 9:35:02 AM

i have this exact tv, and mine has not given me any problems. maybe i got lucky and got a good one

32 inch lcds are cheap now.......almost got one at walmart for 700 or less......vizio

9/12/2006 11:43:13 PM

a 32" lcd for < $700... wouldn't trust that. plus my tube only cost $400 so it still a good bit more for quality LCD.

I got my 26" hd for like $300, yea Vizio isnt the best nad it wasnt 1080P but it wasnt bad, I saw one in store, it was the last. Prices have dropped a ton though, I remember when I couldnt even get a 20" lcd edtv on ebay for less than $500, now 26" lcd hd are 600's
