The good: 3D pictures and vibrant colors; sleek and stylish; strong multimedia playback; DVI and HDMI terminals; onboard USB ports and card reader; digital audio switching; motorized swivel; universal learning remote control; firmware user upgradeable.

The bottom line: Nothing comes close to the Philips 42PF9830 with its high-end features and advanced connectivity.
