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.
thickness
AQUOS 632 Series by valor155 (Oct, 2011)It is thin and light for its size, and looks great above my mantle in my great room.
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.
