Hi,
This website has some Philips reviews -
DigitalVersus

It hasn't been updated for some months but most of the current models are on there, and the reviews are quite thorough. The website is based in France but the models are basically the same.

I do quite like the look of the LG, the picture isn't as good as the sony though. i'll check out that review, thanks.

yeah worried about the uneven backlight though, have even been tempted to spend the extra £150 and get the WE5 eco version, no back light issues with that one apparently

not true, it uses the same panel, second all lcd has back light issue, third post calibration the W5500 does not have nnoticable black light bleed.

Hi, I have also short listed the above two LCDs and i am finding difficult to decide. I am slightly inclinded towards the Philips mainly because it is a 42" vs Sony's 40". Also because of the response time which is 3ms for the Philips and 8ms for the Sony. ON the otherhand Sony are offering a 4 year warranty whilst Philips offer 2 years.

I wonder if anyone can help me narrow it down to one as i am not very technical myself.

Thanks,

Andrea
