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.
Performance Real world tests of Philips 5000 Series (2011)
power consumption
5000 Series (2011) by c|net (Jul, 2011)We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Philips PFL5706/F7 series, but we did test the 40-inch model.
5000 Series (2011) by JLaRue (Jan, 2011)I have connected the television to my computer and was satisfied with the performance.
black levels
5000 Series (2011) by J. (Dec, 2011)The colors looked washed out and the black levels are horrendous once you reach a decent brightness.-Blurry picture when connected to PC over HDMI.
5000 Series (2011) by c|net (Jul, 2011)We also noticed that shadows and black areas appeared quite blue, an issue accentuated by the lighter black levels.
contrast ratio
5000 Series (2011) by Robert-Gates--snakes200 (Jan, 2012)The picture quality is pretty good even with it's lower contrast ratio vs other sets in this price range.
