Good Points

The set itself looks ok.

Bad Points

The hum that drives me mad and the pop between light level changes.

General Comments

I purchased my Philips PW6515 32" widescreen TV from PowerHouse who now want nothing to do with as they say that it is operating under manufacturers specification and their engineers say that the hum is an inherent fault with this particular model (the pop apparently is a faulty valve?)
The reason given for the hum is interference on an internal cable (this is the reply given to PowerHouse from Philips)
I have since spoken to an ex-employee of Philips who says that the fault stems from some electromagnets being loose and vibrating (their main purpose is to keep the picture level)
All I want now is either a refund or replacement (different make) but Power House are unwilling to do either so I'm having to get trading standards involved.

    Hi. Contact the Philips Service. They should remove problems with picture. I'm waiting for this. They know about the problem and make a small changes on the chassis.
