Philips 23-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD HDTV (Refurb)

I purchased this TV to put in my bedroom. I originally had a 25" tv in the room. I though the 23" might be a little small, but it turns out that it looks the same, if not better, than the 25" because of the wide screen. I would definitely recommend this tv to anyone.

The product turned out to be of exceptional quality.. In the original packaging with not a single scratch on the system. I have a 27 inch HDTV Samsung that doesn't visually compare to this baby. Like others have said, the small channel numbers are a little ridiculous, but you'll soon forget all about that once you see the picture. Playing a 360 on this is incredible. I never would have noticed that this was a refurbished model, everything was of impeccable quality and looks brand new. The only problem I had was that the remote didn't work. If your looking for a new HDTV with stunning picture quality at a phenomenal price, this Phillips is the one for you!

Regarding the type size of the channel number display and the closed captions: They are both barely readable unless one is sitting closer than five feet from the screen. Their support says that there is no remedy, as the type size is fixed. When moving from one channel to another or changing settings (channel, sound, volume etc) the indicator on the screen lasts at the most one second. In addition the lowest sound setting is still high. I have it in my bedroom and basically cannot watch it when others in the family are retiring for the evening. Quality of sound and picture are good, but you really have to plan out what type of environment this will be used in. If I had known this I never would have bought this product. I am very disappointed and would really question purchasing any other Phiips products in the future . I would STRONGLY recommend that prior to purchase, you go down to your local retailer to verify these issues and understand these potential issues.
