Philips has had an uphill battle convincing the “experts” that Ambilight is truly a feature worth paying attention to, yet they keep fighting.  This time around however, Philips has taken their gloves off, offering an LCD TV with just about every conceivable feature; a compelling offer whether you like Ambilight or not.

The Philips 42PF9831D has a retail price of $3999 which proves that LCD prices equal to and above 42-inches have really plummeted to affordable levels. While the 42PF9831D may seem to have an unlimited amount of features for this price range, it could all be in vain if the picture quality does not live up to the buyer’s expectations.
