Philips 40PFL7605 review

Philips thinks differently. The brand has a long history of going its own way in consumer electronics and its individualistic vision is all evident in the features and tech of the 40PFL7605. The brand's trademark Ambilight mood lighting (here in its...

Philips 40PFL7605 review

LCD TVs with souped-up LED backlights have propped-up the prices of flatscreen TVs this past year or so, but while brands such as Sharp and Toshiba slowly take LED tech down towards the entry-level, Philips has issued another reasonably high-end...

HD & SD picture, contrast, clarity

Lacks Freeview HD tuner

The lack of Freeview HD puts a serious dent in this otherwise attractively priced and advanced Edge LED TV. Excellent speakers, digital media playback and an easy-to-use interface and the highlights, though its ability with contrast, colour and...

Philips 40PFL7605 review

The Philips 40PFL7605H is a beautiful looking TV that's complemented by one of the most stylish remote controls we've ever seen – if you've spent a bundle on an uber-cool glass coffee table from Heal's, the Philips remote control will be the proverbial...

The Philips 40PFL7605H is a stunning TV, but it’s expensive. If money's not a problem, though, it's an excellent choice.

Philips 32PFL7605H

Although it's not quite one of Philips' classic TVs, this 32in set is a more than solid all-rounder.

Although it’s not quite one of Philips' classic TVs, the 32PFL7605H certainly is a more than solid all-rounder - and as such it represents strong value for money, especially if you fancy having some decent online capabilities on your next TV.

Philips 40PFL7605H

This 40in LED LCD television lacks a Freeview HD tuner, but its excellent picture more than makes up for that.

Picture quality beats price-point rivals ; Attractive design, screen only 30mm thick ; Great connectivity, plus net TV

No Freeview HD tuner ; No Power Pixel HD engine ; Some visible artefacting

As usual with a Philips TV, you can royally screw the 40PFL7605H’s pictures up if you’re not careful with its processing options. But honestly, it’s really not that difficult to learn your way round. And once you’ve figured out what works for your...

Philips 7000 (37PFL7605H/05) review

A pretty cool TV all round. We love the styling and, once we turned the picture processing off, the picture was fairly likeable, too. As always, Philips manages terrific sound on this 37-inch TV, far better than most competitors.

Great sound for a smaller TV ; Good HD picture ; Superb styling

Picture processing is very heavy-handed ; Expensive

Is £800 expensive for a 37-inch TV? Yes, but this is an LED-edge-lit TV with Ambilight, which makes it seem a little better value. The Philips 37PFL7605H/05 will suit people who want a smaller TV screen, but don't want to compromise on quality. We...
