Ah, a
Philips LCD TV. When have they ever given us the chance to pooh-pooh them anyway? Yes, they do let us feel rather incapable with not being able to afford them, but still, performance, features and most importantly, looks. Philips' LCD TVs have it all. Though not many will opt for a Philips LCD TV for a second room TV (given the almost £250 price tag), you might want to consider it for your holiday beach house ( for you're obviously willing to indulge ). Lets look at it this way: You're in this luxurious beach house on the East Sussex shoreline for your yearly break. And yes, you've embellished it with a
Philips 19PFL3404D/05 19” LCD TV. How difficult would it be for you to tear your eyes off the screen and enjoy the view outside? The answer: Very.

Here is why: This Philips TV is capable of displaying a total of 28.9 billion colours and is equipped with certain 'advanced algorithms' that can detect even the subtlest of shades and dress them up to make them good enough for the screens. As a result, colours in the screens of this 19 incher are extremely pleasing to the senses, natural and smooth as they are, you just can't take your eyes off them. With a screen resolution of 1366 x 768p pixels, and a rather unimpressive dynamic
contrast ratio
of 4000:1, the 19PFL3404D/05 manages to impress. The response time is just about 5 ms and it is needless to say that quick movements rarely have blurs about them.
Another reason why you wouldn't want to leave the cosy confines of your beach house is that, the
Philips 19PFL3404D/05 HD-Ready digital TV sports a USB connector using which you can sit back and enjoy the photos of your good times in the 19” screen, and relive the cherished moments. Audio is yet another factor that'll tie you up, so crisp and forceful it is.
But in the end, you might land up heading for the beach, for not even the world's
best LCD TV can compete against the sights, sounds and smells of mesmerising Mother nature, leave alone the Philips 19PFL3404D/05.
