Philips 42PFL5603D Specs
Billed as an "Eco TV", the Philips 42PFL5603D
was dubbed the best product overall as it deals with one of the big
issues seen in most current flatscreen HDTVs: power consumption.
Minimal power consumption means less of of a power black hole and more
money in your pocket. The key to this capability is the 42PFL5603's
"Active Control" mode. This allows the TV to automatically change the
backlight intensity depending picture content. Darker scenes will cause
the backlight dim then crank up the intensity in brighter scenes.
There's a lot to like about the external appearance of the Eco TV. Its
black frame is the same thickness all around and bordered by a rounded
strip of see-through plastic. Otherwise the look is quite minimal, with
few logos, LEDs, or other unsightly extras. The matching black stand
swivels, and the downward pointing speakers are hidden under the
cabinet. This Philips 42 LCD TV set measures about 41.2 inches wide by
28 inches tall by 10.3 inches deep , and weighs 60 pounds (when mounted
on the supplied stand). Removing the stand reduces this to 41.2 by 25.4
by 3.5 inches and 49 pounds.
