TrustedReviews reviews the Philips 50PF9631D 50″ Plasma HDTV (rating: 8/10) and writes;

“Finally putting the 50PF9631D to work on a few of our favourite sources, we have to admit we felt a touch disappointed with the way its pictures turn out. The main over-riding problem is that there are sometimes quite considerable amounts of noise in the picture…Ultimately the 50PF9631D’s picture flaws suggest that Philips’ core plasma panel technology is perhaps not quite as up to partnering Pixel Plus technology as the company’s LCD technology. But the overall image quality is still solid, and a huge feature count makes sure the set looks fair value at under £2000.”

NewsFactorMag reviews the Philips 50PF9631D 50″ Plasma HDTV (rating: 4/5 and writes;

“We were very pleased with the overall display quality from the 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. Plasma is known for high-contrast images with stunning color reproduction, and this model keeps that reputation intact. Audio from this Philips model was very solid. Two built-in 12-watt speakers have digital signal processing, dynamic bass enhancement, and the virtual Dolby Digital sound system. An Auto Volume Leveler and graphic equalizer contribute to a very pleasing audio experience. “

+ FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Ambilighting
Ambilight 2 contributes to the overall viewing experience by creating ambient light to complement the colors and light intensity of the images on-screen. It adds a new, interesting dimension to your movies and shows, immersing you in what you are watching.

Pixel Plus 3HD
Peter Piper picked a peck of peppers. But the Pixel Plus 3 HD processor pumps up pictures by enhancing pixels to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural image. Alliteration gives you a mouthful. This 50″ plasma display gives you an eyeful. Your images are vibrant and razor sharp, with detail and depth, from any source.

Multimedia with USB
The USB connector provides easy access to your jpg image files, MP3s, and alb files. Just plug the USB into the slot and browse your photos or music collection. You can share them with your friends, create a mood for a party, and provide music to dance to. The Plug and Play feature also gives you the ability to install/add new components and use them without having to restart or endure complex installation procedures.

HDMI
Get uncompressed digital RGB connections from the source to the screen. HDMI eliminates conversion to an analog signal, providing you with unblemished images. It reduces flicker and provides clearer pirctures while intelligently communicating the highest output resolution with the source device.
