Philips have built a reputation recently for producing accomplished LCD TV's at the premium end of the market, but have struggled with producing an LCD which can cut it at the budget end of the market. With the 32PFL7562D Philips are hoping to buck this trend, and at around £500, the price of this unit is certainly right.
Connectivity on the 32PFL7562D is good rather than outstanding with 2 HDMIs, 2 Scarts, Component, Composite and S-video inputs. In addition, there is a useful connection on the side of the 32PFL7562D in the shape of a USB port which plays JPEG, MP3, MP3 pro, LPCM, MPEG1 and MPEG2 files straight from a USB storage device.
The outstanding feature of the 32PFL7562D's is its black level performance which will embarrass many LCD TV's at twice the price. It is so refreshing to see an almost completely black canvas on an LCD TV where we are used to seeing the customary 'grey' patches on all but the most accomplished screens.
Pixel Plus 2 HD processing along with Digital Natural Motion contributes to an impressive HD performance, the 32PFL7562D demonstrating pin sharp detailing with accurate and impressively fluid pictures. The smoothness introduced with Digital Natural Motion may look a touch unnatural in certain situations, but largely eliminates the jagged effect with fast motion pictures which plagues many budget screens.
With a budget price tag, the Philips 32PFL7562D offers excellent value for money with performance in many areas that competes with much more expensive screens. Its SD performance can't compete with the latest 100hz offerings from the likes of Sony and Panasonic, but the price to performance equation is hard to beat.
