HDTV News: Choosing between Plasmas and LCD nowadays have become very difficult. This is due to the improving quality of LCD televisions. Before, Plasmas are superior to LCD’s, now, you won’t even see the difference.With the Philips 42PFL7432D 42-inch (107cm) flat-panel LCD, you are given even a harder choice as it tries to compete with similarly priced 42-inch plasmas by bringing the company’s trademark Ambilight system to the table.
As a company known for their striking designs, Philips took relatively great care with the 42PFL9732D. It has a handsome exterior of entirely thick, glossy-black case with a similarly glossy-black bezel around the screen. The bezel in turn is set forward from the matte-black cabinet, for a double-frame look. A thin strip below the bezel consists of perforated speaker grille, which bends back subtly. The panel itself rests atop a stand with a silver pedestal and black glass base.
