First wanted a Sony or Samsung buy and enschied me then but for the Philips 40PFL8664H that I have not looked back since.
Noise = I can not determine absolutely, some people even hear the grass growing.
Ton = very good and completely sufficient sound for a TV device.
Picture = I'm an average TV user and would like to deliver any thesis for image I can only say very good image with no discernible minuses for me.
Connections = plentiful.
Ambilight = before buying, I thought something like a gimmick must be, but if you once do not want you to give it up so far to a white wall behind the TV without any deficiency Spiel.- or landscape films when shown in the photo water and palm trees are and Ambilight be the wall then blue and green top spotlighting down the last doubts beseitigt.Wenn to the Ambilight switches off you realize how great it is, I think the other manufacturers will offer something at some point there's a lot more harmonious image.
The only negative I have to forgive is that the device has not Stand can rotate, but this is not bad.
My device is connected to a Satresiver DigiCorder HD S2 Plus Techni Sat unfortunately is also gigantic not cheap but I find his money well worth (German brand) is, in several test with grade 1.3 benotet.Wichtig !!! Check the the Resiver HD is suitable otherwise there is no HD TV.
