This is an excellent set.  It will be the cornerstone of any serious home theater.  The only drawback is it is somewhat over designed.  The automatic video controls have to be used with a lot of trepidation and restraint.  They are best used to improve the picture quality of older, less perfect video sources.  For high end video just use the television in its native mode.  For around $3,000 Philips comes through once more as the leader in technology.  The pixel plus mode gives near high definition quality to almost any video source.  For those with a lot of old VCR tapes that you can't bear to watch - this set will bring them into the 21^st century.  So, if you are looking for a television that can play almost anything this set will be a welcomed addition to your home.
