5000 Series (2011) by c|net (Jul, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 40-inch Philips 40PFL5706/F7, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
5000 Series (2011) by SPARE-PARTS (Dec, 2010)When playing my XBOX 360 with kinect is perfect with size screen.
thickness
5000 Series (2011) by Wiseguy-945It looses the warmth and depth in background, and again seems choppy when the focus person or object moves, and looks really processed (like a computer straining to keep up with rate) if the background moves.
5000 Series (2011) by zen-pc.com--zen-pc.comPicture is great, I like the nice solid body and stand (this model being standard LCD and not a thin LED) and the PC and media connectivity features are the best part.

Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Wiseguy-945Regular movies and sports, I love my Plasma TV.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Islander (Apr, 2011)I played blu-ray movie on and to be honest the quality is just amazing - it makes you feet that the action is really right in front of you, in your room.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by Jeffmguida (Dec, 2010)I hooked it up to a panasonic bluray and the movie was flawless on every level, the sounds are delivered clearly in a smaller room (about 150sqft) and the action and movement is beautiful.
Panel
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by JLaRue (Jan, 2011)The picture is clean and crisp with impressive black levels and viewing angles.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 55% by by c|net (Jul, 2011)Its best feature is a matte screen, which helps reduce reflections in bright rooms, and its picture uniformity is average.
Movies
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by Robert-Gates--snakes200 (Jan, 2012)Blu-rays look amazing on this tv, the sound could be better but it is not bad overall.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Wiseguy-945On animated movies, wow, i think this TV beats my plasma.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by Sam-Meakin--scurvy-ed (Dec, 2010)i use pretty much the same settings for both except i find i have to turn the brightness down for movies and up for gaming (40 and 75 respectively) but that might change with the game and the show, different directors/game producers make different brightnesses of movies/games (think quake vs katamari) so that may change with time.
Gaming
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by Robert-Gates--snakes200 (Jan, 2012)PS3 games look great on it and the 120hz processing make for some really high frame rates.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 80% by by JLaRue (Jan, 2011)The performance of this television with the Xbox360 and PS3 is great.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Ncineration (Jan, 2012)Color and image quality are top notch and the response is wonderful and easily capable of handling any hardcore gaming (bear in mind you will want to change settings for these inputs however to turn off the 240hz, as it will lag your picture slightly and throw off your gaming - turning this off results in butter-smooth beautiful gameplay).
Apps
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Alana-Anastasia-Diaz-Sutton (Nov, 2011)I love the Net Tv as it has podcasts that you can watch as well as Netflix, Pandora, Facebook etc..
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by SPARE-PARTS (Dec, 2010)Netflix runs fast and flawless.
Philips 5000 Series (2011) 40" | Rated 100% by by Islander (Apr, 2011)Netflix and Vudu are great to watch directly from your TV - you may not even pay for cable with todays prices.
