Good deal!
psteil  from Sheridan, IL,  Nov 4, 2009
We're really pleased with this purchase. The TV arrived within 5 days and was easy to set up. I'm not a TV junkie, but I think both the picture and sound are great. There are a few rub marks on the shiney black frame around the screen, but nothing too awful for a refurbished set. I was somewhat leery of ordering a television on line, but, as always, Overstock came through.

My New TV
southbay0001  from South Bay, CA,  Jul 7, 2009
I really like my new TV. I can not believe it is a refurbished TV. I was a bit concern when I got the item, bottom part of box was about go loose. Even FeDex guy said, "poor packing". And be prepare to have AAA batteries!! It was very easy to install. I didnt notice about sound issues, but I notice about between channel to channel make visual lines...it could be Cable issue?

Only slightly disappointed
Anonymous  from LA, CA,  Jul 7, 2009
The unit I received had a bunch of scratches in it which bummed me out. Especially after reading the other reviews that people had written where the TV arrived in perfect condition. Oh well.The only weird thing that happens with this is if the Aspect Ratio is set to automatic it sometimes takes 2.35:1 movies and bounces back between letterbox and no letterbox - like it can't tell what aspect ratio it's supposed to be.Other than that it works fine - have it hooked up to a Philips Home Theater that I bought on this site and they jive pretty well together.

I ordered this TV and received it within the same week. It was simple to setup, to program, and to use. Great picture, Great sound, Great price, and Great merchant - Overstock.com. Couldn't be happier!

Happy
chrisfrgil  from Fox River Grove, IL,  Jun 21, 2009
Love the bTV, and most things about it. However, and this may be a satellite issue, but every now and then the sound changes to a loud, high-pitched screach that even scares the dog. The only way I have found to get normal sound back is to shut the TV off and turn it back on. It occurs during both live and DVR-recorded playback, so I don't know what causes it. Happens every few days.

Great Flat Screen
colliewallie  from Malta, NY,  May 21, 2009
We were very happy with this purchase. The picture is very clear. We did have an issue with the sound but after speaking with a customer rep we were able to resolve the problem. We would certainly recommend this item.

We are very pleased with this TV. The picture quality, vibrant colors & sharpness is very good, as is the audio quality. Also, purchasing through Overstock.com was a smooth & easy process. The TV is also a very attractive piece of furniture & fits very nicely in our living room. The only 1 thing I am not completely happy with is that it takes longer than I would like for the channels to change, when using the remote. This may not be a TV issue, it may be our cable system, however. Nevertheless, we really like the TV & I highly recommend this set. We are really enjoying it!!!

Can't Beat It
thestix  from Holden, ME,  Feb 19, 2009
Overall I was extremely satisfied with the TV once it arrived; which was much sooner than expected. I expected a refurbished TV to have some sort of blemish, but in turn found none. The quality of the picture and sound rivals that of my fathers $3000 TV of the same size. This TV was an amazing buy for the price and would recommend it to anyone.

Philips Refurbished 42" TV
vstar2002  from St. Louis, MO,  Dec 7, 2008
Very nice television! I was a bit concerned since it was refurbished, but everything looks and works like brand new. Very nice picture and sound quality, and the setup was very easy. It arrived much sooner than I thought, too. I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting an exceptional flat screen TV at a discounted price.

I was told not to buy a refurbished TV, but since my last sony of only 2 years died out of nowhere i decided not to invest too much into a TV. I was shocked at how well it looks and sounds. I have had it now for a about two months and so far, no problems!

Another great buy from Overstock. This TV was delivered in less than a week and in great condition. I just plugged it in and the picture quality is amazing. My kids just love it, although I hardly get to see it, the kids play their playstation, Xbox games all of the time!!

Dont hesitate!
oasharper  from Chicago, IL,  Oct 24, 2008
We just got out TV a few days ago, it arrived very quickly. It was very easy to set up and it looks amazing! The quality of the picture is perfect and the overall look of the TV is very attractive. Knowing that it is refurbished we looked for any picture flaws and so far we have no complaints. I would not hesitate to buy this again or recommend to a friend.

Excellent TV - No problems for me.
julzslc  from Salt Lake City,  Oct 22, 2008
I've had this T.V. for a bit over a week. It looks great. It works great. Maybe not quite as intuitive to operate as others I've owned (with fewer features). Then again, I have yet to crack open the instruction booklet, so intuitive enough. Picture is excellent. The DirecTV guys couldn't stop remarking on the picture quality. I don't have it hooked up to HD yet, but I'm very much looking forward to that. I hung the TV on the wall with a Sanus Visionmount (tilting) and had no trouble with the screws provided fitting the TV. Lastly, I see no indication that this refurbished TV is of lesser quality than one shipped directly from the manufacturer. No scratches anywhere even. A great TV especially for the price.

Poor Warranty Service
stallotown  from Louisville, KY,  Oct 17, 2008
I bout this TV as "refurbished" so I new there would be a chance of something going wrong. Sure enough there is a vertical line 1/8 wide going from top to bottom on my screen. Fortunately there is a 90 Warranty service...however it's been an absolute nightmare. The Phillips recommended service center said it was a panel issue. Phillips will not authorize service...or just won't call the service center back and therefore they will not fix my TV. When I talk to the reps, they take my info, state they will call me back and never do. This is been going on for about 3-weeks. Would not buy refurbished again...not worth the hassle.
