LCD televisions are the next wave in digital technology. This LCD TV provides a 1366 x 768-pixel native resolution. LCD televisions are compatible with 1080p/720p/480p/480i HD formats.

At first glance the Philips 42PF9996 42 inch LCD may seem extremely expensive. The current suggested retail value is $9,999. It is expensive when compared to others of the same length and quality. However, it does offer its consumer two characteristics that aren’t normally found in other sets. One is the LCD screen, which is quickly becoming formidable competition for the much celebrated Plasma Tvs. The other is the two customizable fluorescent lights that light up the wall behind the set. These two characteristics may not seem like a great addition, but they can definitely add a lot of depth to your viewing experience.
