Amazing picture quality.

I have this TV connected to a PS3 (HDMI), DirecTV R22 with HD (HDMI), Dreamcast (S-VIDEO), Creative Zen Vision M(Composite), and media on USB FLash Drives. The picture quality is on par with reality. It is just that good. As far as setup goes, the TV will show you a series of pictures split down the middle and ask you which looks better. This results in a picture that looks best to you.
The one and only thing that I do not like of this TV is that full digital audio cannot be forwarded from HDMI though the coax digital out. Due to 'copyright' nonsense the audio from HDMI is down mixed to stereo. So for the PS3 and DTV I have to run a separate cable directly to the audio receiver for full digital audio. Which defeats the purpose of HDMI. However the TV will put all analog sources though the coax out so you can limit the number of wires that way.
Pros
* Plenty of Inputs
* Forwards all analog audio though a single output . Digital or analog
* Amazing picture quality
* Improves picture quality of non HD feeds
* Standard VESA mount for wall or stand mounting
Cons
* Does not forward full Digital Audio From HDMI through COAX out
* Picture looks almost too real
Firmware flaws...

First, I'm not much of a TV guy, so I can't really rate the picture quality. To me it looks great, but I don't have much to compare it to.
I am however, an engineer who does embedded software development for a living. And that means that I recognize a firmware bug when I see one. And I've seen three after only about two weeks of usage. And that's with the latest available firmware as of 02/2010, version 1.08
We use this TV for two purposes:
1.) To connect our family computer to it (via HDMI) and enjoy the nice 1920x1080 resolution
2.) To watch some HDTV content which we receive via an outdoor antenna - using the built-in ATSC tuner.
Here are the problems so far:
1.) Whenever we switch to the PC (via HDMI) we can still hear sound from the TV channel. It's very faint, but it's audible - especially since we sit directly in front of the TV when using the PC. This is reproducable - not just a one-time event.
2.) Once, when watching ATSC TV, reception was poor and the TV went into a "loop" always repeating the last 3-5 seconds of video and sound - similar to an old vinyl record that skips... This stopped only when we changed the channel and then went back to the original channel. So far this only happened once, but it looks like the internal error handling for ATSC TV is not foolproof.
3.) When switching from HDMI (PC mode) to TV, we had no sound. Volume was turned on, but we heard nothing. Eventually we increased the volume to what would have been quite loud, and finally the sound came back - suddenly and loudly. We were than able to decrease the sound back to the regular range without it disappearing.
None of these are real serious problems, but they leave the impression that the firmware is still a bit immature...
I would have still rated it 4 stars, had it not been for Philips customer support who so far has sent me nothing but meaningless pre-canned replies when I alerted them to these problems....
At the end of the day though - we don't regret the purchase.
A Good Philips model for the price.

I just purchased this Philips Model 32PFL6704D this week. Fits in my entertainment cabinet with no problems. I found this to be the only 32 inch LCD to be 30 inches wide and was able to fit it into my hutch which was designed for a 27 inch tube set.
I researched a lot of brands of HDTV lcd's and this Philips model had very good spec's for the price! I found this set with some minor drawbacks as the other owners who reviewed here did. The sound wasn't the best from the rear firing speakers but it was ok in the hutch. I also noticed the same "shiney face" type color on both the HD and SD formats. I hope that Philips will come out with a software update that may solve this issue or at least allowing us to adjust it better.The color adjustments and the automatic assistant does not solve this issue.
Over all this set does work well and compares very well to my $800.00 Sony XBR LCD which it replaced due to failure!(only 2 years use out of the Sony).In my case it was better for me to purchase this Philips model new then to spend aprox $400.00 to fix my Sony out of warranty! Easy set up and an excellent HD picture through a Comcast HD set top box using an HDMI cable except for the shiney face issue. I'm happy with my purchase of this model and recommend it if your looking for a 1080P 120 HZ LCD tv!
An excellent 32-inch HDTV...

As a satisfied 12-month-owner of a Philips 42-inch HDTV (the Philips 42PFL7403D/F7 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV), I purchased the Philips 32PFL6704D/F7 to replace an old tube TV in the bedroom. I'm very pleased with the styling, picture and sound of this set - it fits the room just right.
I had noticed a few customer reviews of this model complaining about difficulty in getting proper color settings for flesh-tones, but based upon a greater number of exemplary reviews and my own experience with this Philips product line, I bought it unseen via Amazon. Sure enough, when the TV was setup, I wasn't pleased with the tint of people's faces... I tweaked the color settings for a bit, and figured I could get it right eventually before deciding to call Philips.
Before calling, I went online to Philips' support site and found that a firmware update, v1.08, had just been released about two weeks earlier. The TV came from Amazon with v1.06 loaded, so I updated the firmware and found the default picture color much improved (although the release notes didn't refer to any such issue being fixed). Could be I was imagining the color issues, could be some screwed-up factory settings were nicely reset by the firmware upgrade process, but as of now I'm quite happy with this product.
Happy with this TV

I bought this TV because it was the biggest that would fit in
my Dad's entertainment center. I had already bought a Samsung that only
worked for an hour.
My only complaint is that this TV has such a realistic picture
that you have to get used to how much different it looks, it is almost
as if you were there filming. My dad only has standard definition cable, but
I could tell a huge difference in quality of picture, and have not had any of the complaints of other people buying this TV. As far as I have seen this TV has had the best picture of any I have used, being enclosed in the TV cabinet the volume is usually needed to be higher than normal to hear as the speakers are behind the TV, but no problems. My dad loves this new TV and I wish my phillips 32" (720p) would have fit in his cabinet, so that I could have keep it for myself, oh well, sadly I paid the same thing for my 720p Phillips two years ago, As I turned them on side by side, and the 120 hz 1080p blew it away even with standard cable. Wow, 120hz is AWESOME!!!
I shopped around, and amazon had the lowest price, and shipping was as expected. Thanks Amazon, you did me good on this one!
