Philips 50PFP5532D Widescreen HD Review
If you are in the market for a plasma HD ready television, you have probably spent countless hours researching and still don’t know which television to buy. I recently had the pleasure of purchasing the Philips 50” widescreen HD Ready Plasma television (50PFP5532D) and have been pleased with its performance from day one. I believe that first impressions are the lasting ones, and the first impression I received from this product was extraordinary.
Dimensions on the TV are 49.2”x 4.2”x 34.5” (W x D x H), and the sleek design was ideal for the space limitations I had. I already had several other devices (DVD, satellite receiver, and a gaming system) to connect and the clearly labelled input/output ports made the connection process seamless.
Once all the correct cables were attached it was time to test the performance. I pressed the power button on the remote control and quickly went through the initial set up. I have experienced in the past lengthy and painful initial sets ups; however this set up was extremely easy and required less than 2 minutes to complete.
The first test for the television was an action movie in high definition on one of the premium movie channels. It passed the test with flying colours; by delivering a wonderful picture and crisp surround sound quality audio.
The second test was an international football game on one of the non high definition channels. The colour delivered was unbelievable and the sound continued to be impressive. The brilliant green grass and clear cheers from the crowd put me right in the middle of the action.
The final performance test for the television was the test of the gaming system. Again the Philips television passed with high marks. This remarkable product continued to obtain its picture and sound integrity.
The Philips (50PFP532D) television continues to perform and I continue to be pleased with the purchase I made 8 months ago. I own another higher priced plasma television by another manufacture and this product out performs it. The overall quality of the product is worth much more than its price tag.
