Did not regret a bit on my purchase. Excellent HD LCD TV! More I use it, the more I love it.

1 week after delivery:
Watch the Olympic opening ceremony on a Phillip 47" wall-mounted LCD @ a local restaurant and was amazed by the sharp and beautiful picture of it. When a 1-day special of $699 from amazon.com listed on "[...]" comes up, jumped @ the opportunity to get one myself. Also, purchased an extended 2-yr warranty w/ it for $99 just in case. So far, no problem, and very happy w/ it.
Ordered it on a Thurs, got it delivered the following Friday (from Dallas, TX to S.F., CA). Very easy to setup. Took me less than 10 mins. Pictures is as beautiful & sharp as ever. No disappointment or surprises there. Sound-wise, a little disappointing at first. Based on some of the older dvd movie soundtrack, at times I've to turn the volume way up to get decent sound. But when I go out and bought a brand new "Madonna Italy concert" dvd, the sound was excellent. So, I guessed, it all depends on the soundtrack that comes w/ the dvd. TV reception is good and clear. I used an external antenna. No cable, at least not yet. Remote work well. All controls easy to follow. Haven't read the user guide yet. 4 HDMI ports are plenty. So far, using 1 hdmi port for my vcd+dvd recorder/player combo deck, and AV port for my karoake deck. USB port works well w/ my digital video camera. Still got plenty ports left for other hookups.
With average sound, plan on getting a Bose 5.1 surround sound home theater system in the near future to go w/ it. With Bose sound and Phillip excellent picture, that should complete my new home entertainment center.
Wrap up:
1. Great price. 2. Easy setup. 3. Excellent picture. 4. Easy to use. 5. So-so sound...but w/ getting a Bose theater surrond sound system in the near future, it should be fantastic.
I'm very happy and it's a great buy.

Amazing picture, but needs some setup to have it
Amazing picture, but only if you setup certain things:
turn off "Active control"
turn off "Dynamic contrast" and you will have a perfect picture.
