I just bought the Philip Ambilight series....
The graphic card is POWER!!!! The characters are like popping
out...apparently they have this software that blur the off focus
items and enhance the in focus items!!!! Super 3D like!!!!
Also, their analogue signal converter is damn good...I think
best among the brands now...for the line...so watching nornal TV
analogue programme is damn clear....the software also smoothen out
the pixels so that things are nice and slick!
It has the fastest refresh rate of 3ms...not sure if it's beaten
yet but it's the first 2 months ago.....
The ambilight thingy is really personal....but i love it when
watching in a dimly lit room...you will FEEL the movie visually
man!!!!
And the lcd panel is damn hard and tough...sales man was
punching it and you dun get that fluid motion of the liquid crystal
...not that you are going to punch it but you are paying for
material man...compared to putting the $$$$ into branding!
The LCD base is glass and not el cheapo plastics like those from
Sammy etc...
End of the day, it's the visual that matters, not brand. Sony is
not bad. Panasonic is good...I hate Sammy....go away
Sharp....Hitachi well...LG kimchi....B&O panels are from
Panasonic....well dun compare la...just go that with open
eyes (pun intended) and see for yourself.

in their sales performance! Good luck!
