I just bought a 42" ambilight - that replaced an HP MediaSmart that didn't look so good (very poor black detail). I usually don't care for Philips products, but this is a good TV for a good price. I don't use Ambilight, so they could delete that (you can turn it off). I paid $400 less than the HP for the Philips, and honestly could have paid a bit more for it.
I also have one of the bargain Olevia TVs, and while it looks good, it takes *forever* for the channels to change. Higher end TVs seem to put their money into processing, among other things, so you get what you pay for.
Philips makes a nice TV. I'm very pleased. I'd hate to see them leave the market.
