RATING

1.0

Strengths: Low cost

Weaknesses: Cheap quality. Frequent failures. No AMC after initial warranty. High cost per service. For most of the basic services service center will ask you to bring the TV to their service station. Not a premium product.

Overall: Philips LCD TVs are priced a little lower than the competetion. Since the brand is old, people get into the trap like me. They donot stock spares. The poor quality will result in frequent failues and additional revene for the company.The down time for my TV is 15 days per year. and also Pay Rs. 4000 to 7000 per service/year on a 42inch HD LCD TV.
