I have the Philips 52pfl8605k02 now since an abundant year. One conclusion: I would not buy it myself. Because: bothers me the glass is mounted in front of the screen very. It reflects and is not up to date. Though it with other manufacturers also are the. In this price range should not happen like that. I have the television in advertising at Media Markt for 1299 - bought Euro.
Then I after half a year have to send the TV. Because the glass was smudged from the inside !! ??? Then two weeks no TV. He was picked up, sent to Philips, cleaned in a clean room and brought back. Another six months later (one year after the date of purchase) the same problem again. Device was picked up and brought a replacement unit. This is not new, but reportedly the same age as my purchased and the warranty simply continues.
Then it is not possible to install the max cathedral App. Answer by Philips: a hardware problem. If I had to a year bought exactly the same television a half later, it would be gone !! Incomprehensible and penalized.
Appangebot rather modest.
Otherwise, I have to say that the TV already makes a very good picture. Even the sound goes, I certainly have connected it via my stereo. Blueray really sharp image. 3D I could not try, because I do not have glasses. The Ambilight is also good.
A plus is also the base that can be used as a wall bracket. Looks great, is bissl fiddly, but works.
That with the station sorting would as already mentioned several times can be simplified.
Remote Control I do not care, because I use it with the Logitech Harmony One. Works flawlessly.
All in all it's been a very good TV. If it reflected the, in repair and max cathedral app, I would also give full marks. But the trouble for the price is not acceptable in the brand Philips.
