Unfortunately, I can not draw any comparisons to other similar devices, as I so far only "tube" had. It took me 2 new devices, a simple and one of the "upscale" and I chose 42PFL7406K / 02. In 3D I have deliberately avoiding. The support that Philips is very good. I had to first test "s found a little problem with the external 1.5 hard drive, was called with the prospect of an early firmware upgrade which I found today (22.12.2011). Ambilight I find great, but would like to in this price range a 3.Leiste on the device, which also extend on either side of the brightness ago. For me very appealing, the possibility to integrate the TV into the home network. A PC, the device can, of course, no substitute. It can convert video and music from your PC after successful Play device via the device connected to the instrument system. Who no cable like the was the Philips PTA01 WiFi dongle recommended for 7000/8000 series to the there is a possibility the display to transfer from the PC to the FS. Negatives are me so far the "only" 2 USB ports noticed are also attached very inconvenient, but since one can determine with a hub (I have yet to test) help. The biggest no Go is the Fernbediehnung but what I already knew. Such a thing should not happen to a company like Philips easy. The part would have earned a recall ...... Between you and me, with my "simple" television (LG) I rang the FB after a case of beer still really rum, at Philips I succeed not even sober always right. All in all, however great part (with deficiencies you have to just live) Who does not need 3D, light games like, want to have multimedia and good customer service which is the unit recommended.
