If you're serious about your home theatre, you'll obviously want to have a proper surround sound system in place. Another high definition connector like HDMI or component would have been welcome.Īs for sound, this Philips television features 2x15W of power, as well as Virtual Dolby Surround audio technology and Dynamic Bass Enhancement. As well as HDMI, the set has one component, one PC-VGA and two S-Video/composite inputs. It's an impressive inclusion, and is the standout offering in an otherwise basic set of connections. The 32PF5520D comes with an HDMI input, the all digital connector for both sound and vision. Response time rates how fast an LCD screen can refresh the image it's displaying, with quicker response times (the lower the number, the faster) resulting in smoother movement. The 32PF5520D's response time is rated at 18ms, which is once again a little on the unimpressive side compared to other similar models, such as the Sony Bravia which is rated at 8ms. This Philips LCD has a brightness of 500 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 600:1, which is a little on the low side compared to what LG is claiming with its new 32-inch 32LX2D (600 cd/m2 brightness and 1200:1 contrast) and Sony's mid-range Bravia KLV-S32A10 (480 cd/m2 brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio). Panel resolution is a high 1366x768 pixels, which is good enough for 720p high definition should you choose to get a high def tuner. Specifications-wise, the Philips 32PF5520D has some decent if not outstanding features befitting its mid-range status. Still, an SD tuner does get you into the digital domain, with its picture still a marked improvement over analog. The good news is tempered by some bad, however, as unlike the high definition LG range of flatscreen plasma and LCDs, the digital tuner in this Philips is only standard definition. Philips has obviously heard 's constant pleas for new televisions to come pre-installed with high definition tuners, as the 32PF5520D is fitted with both an analog and digital tuner (as does its plasma equivalent, the 42PF7520D). This means that cables stick down vertically instead of horizontally - obviously ideal if you plan to wall mount the set, but it's initially tricky to deal with as your head needs to be below the set to see which connectors are which. The bulk of the Philip's connectors can be found at the back of the television, and are mounted facing down as opposed to facing out the back. There's also an AV input and digital audio out for ease of access. The 32PF5520D's main controls can be found on the left side of the panel, including a power switch, volume and menu buttons. The television's included silver stand is similarly minimal. Philips has also gone a step further down the minimalist track by not including any controls on the front of the unit, with only the company logo on the bottom to intrude on the clean design. That's not to say it doesn't look good - it does, with its neat design it will easily match any living room environment. The Philips' 32PF5520D certainly isn't breaking any new ground when it comes to design, sporting the simple yet functional black frame and silver trim many other flatscreen sets now seem to have. To add or change a TV, type the name of the TV you’re looking for in the search field of the table’s column, then click on the TV’s name in the drop-down list of search results.Philips 32PF5520D is a decent performer with some notable pluses (such as its built-in digital tuner), but for a mid-range offering its price of AU$3699 puts it perilously close to the high-end models of players like LG and Sony.
