Philips

Philips LCD TVs are available in a range of sizes, from 15 inches to as large as 42 inches. With more television networks making the move to high definition television signals, you need an HDTV to take advantage of the vivid detail in their programming. Whether you are purchasing a small television monitor to place in your kitchen (or even bathroom, as some hotels have started to do) or a large television for your family room, chances are there are Philips LCD TVs that can exceed your needs and expectations.Depending on the model of Philips LCD TV that you purchase, it may come with a host of unique features. Some televisions are CableCard ready so that you can receive HD content without a bulky cable box. Many also feature HDMI connections--HDMI is thought to be the future direction of audio and video, as it can carry an HD video signal and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.One feature that you will find on many Philips LCD TVs is a built-in USB port. If you've just returned from your vacation and have photos that you want to share with your friends, simply connect your USB drive to your television and you're set! Rather than gathering everyone around your computer monitor, they can view your pictures in crisp detail on your LCD TV. You can also put music on your USB drive and play it back from your TV.You'll also find Philips' Ambilight technology on their LCD and plasma televisions. Rather than viewing your television against the color of your wall, colored light frames your television. This feature can be turned off, but if you use it, it can enhance your viewing experience, as it is synchronized to the most prominent color on your television.
