Summary: VERY HAPPY!
Review: I have owned this TV for a little over two months now and I'm very satisfied! I looked at a lot of projection TVs and was disappointed in the picture quality of all of them. I decided to buy a 36" tube TV and then I spotted the 50P8341 in a showroom. I thought at first that it was a HDTV, that is how good the picture was! It surpassed every other TV I had looked at. I sit about 7 feet away from it and the picture is almost perfect. Dark or bright room, it doesn't matter. It has more than enough hookup jacks for whatever you want to do. Regular cable looks ok, some stations are better than others. I hooked up a Panasonic DVD player to it and was blown away! I added a Home theater system to it and it is BETTER than going to the theater. The sound coming from the TV itself is really good too if you don't have a surround sound system. The menu is pretty easy to operate also. This is an excellent buy!

Summary: Excellent DVD screen
Review: I really wanted an HD (High Definition) TV. But I noticed when HD's take a normal picture, such as Cable TV or DVD movies, they have to stretch the image to fit the screen. Which makes the picture look nasty.

Enter the 50P8341. The price was fantastic since it was on close-out for $898 at [local store]. I bought it, not knowing what was in the box! (Yeah, I took a huge gamble on this one.)

I also purchased Sound & Vision Magazine's Audio/Video calibration DVD. (A must!) I spent a half-hour tweaking the picture's color and tint setting. Once setup, it was time to watch movies. Cable TV is a low quality signal source, so the TV's picture is a bit of give and take here. But it's clear unlike HD TV's digitally stretched images. DVD playback is breath taking! Very much like being at the movies. As with any rear-projection TV, brightness drops off center. But it's not to bad with this set. The size is a bit more than I need for my 13 foot viewing distance. Bottom line, it's a keeper!

Summary: great buy
Review: I searched for months for the tv that would have a great picture, sound, and still look good in my living room, not like those bulky big screens that you just plop down in a corner somewhere, unable to ever move. I have a habit of sitting close to the television on an angle, and I know that alot of projections don't really allow this kind of viewing so that was an important feature. This tv has an excellent picture from almost any angle in my living room.

I have to be honest though- my favorite feature of this television is the look. It basically has a base, with the creen on top of it. The silver color also adds a bit of flair.

Review: My husband and I searched for a year until we we decided on this one. We purchased it over three months ago and have had no problems at all. This projection tv is really great. The picture quality is fabulous. No matter where you stand in the room it looks good. The sound is excellent too. It is easy to set up if you are doing it yourself. We are very pleased!! All of our friends and family have complimented us on our choice. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Great Features!
Review: The Philips' patented ImageMax tecnology gives this big screen the best picture I have seen. It automatically adjusts saturation and tint for sharper colors and crystal clear images. You can pay more for another brand but why, when you get so much from Philips.
