Philips Electronics is one of the world's biggest electronics companies and Europe's largest. Philips is also a global leader in the general electronics market, with a vast product portfolio ranging from color television sets and one-chip TV products to medical systems. Philips HDTV systems are comparably priced to similar offerings from leading manufacturers. They maybe not of the same ranking as the Sony in terms of features - in particular set-up menus on some of the Philips HDTV RPTV sets seem to lack that intuitive touch found on today's HDTVs. Otherwise, Philips HDTV rear projection systems offer a good level of performance and picture quality. Our pick for present top-selling Philips HDTV rear projection sets cover two widescreen HD-ready models of similar specifications; these are the Philips 55PW9363 55" and the Philips 60PW9383 60" rear projection 16:9 HD-ready TVs.

Connectivity is good with the available AV terminals.
