★★★★★

written by killbill1 on 04/07/2009

The Philips 42PF9946 has a fantastic picture particuarly when you use the vga socket with an Xbox. I use a Philips surround system with it and the sound is fantastic. The TV has Dolby virtual surround sound which is also okay for most viewing.

★★★★☆

written by on 23/08/2008

I have bought my Philips 42PF9946 as ex-display, and it's now almost 3 years I watch it every day with no problem.
Overall is a very good plasma and should I change it for a HD tv I would consider selecting a Philips again

written by malexa00 on 06/10/2007

We bought a 42" Philips plasma TV and it had constant problems. Finally it just died, and we were told that it could not be repaired. The TV lasted less than two years, and Philips will not make the part needed to fix. We were told by Philips there is nothing they can do for us. Terrible company, and terrible TVs. Do not buy a Philips TV unless you want problems.
