Amazon.com Product Description
Save space and enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish, 32-inch Philips 32PF7320A widescreen LCD TV, a great choice for your living room's entertainment center. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts, and you can receive high-definition TV right out of the box with the optional, removable CableCARD, which picks up HD (ATSC) broadcasts from your digital cable provider (digital cable subscription required). This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible).

This set uses Philips' exclusive Pixel Plus video processor to increase the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and dept, every time from any source.

The 32PF7320A has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 176-degree viewing angle, very fast 8 ms (millisecond) response time (great for sports), a 550 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and an 800:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) Other features include an anti-reflection coated screen, auto volume leveler, adjustable color temperature and sharpness, sleep timer, and V-Chip parental controls.

The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

The Active Control function uniquely and intelligently optimizes picture quality by measuring and analyzing the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions.

This TV has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 15 watts per channel (for 30 watts of total power), and can produce Dolby Digital virtual surround sound, emulating a 5.1-channel sound field from just two speakers. It also offers the following connections:

  • Composite AV (RCA) In: 3 (1 side)
  • S-Video In: 3 (1 side)
  • Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
  • HDMI In: 2
  • RF In: 1
  • PC Audio In: 1
  • PC Audio Out: 1
  • Monitor Out: 1
  • USB: 1
  • Headphone: 1
The USB connector allows access to multimedia JPEG, MP3, MP3-PRO, and ALB (photo slideshow) files of most USB memory drives and most digital cameras (USB 1.1 memory-class device). Plug the USB connector into the slot at the side of the TV and access your photos or music files.

Tech Talk
CableCARD -- The CableCARD system enables the "Plug-and-Play DTV" functionality as agreed between cable operators and consumer electronics manufacturers. It allows the decoding of encrypted or scrambled content delivered from the cable system. CableCARD functionality includes conditional access and copy protection. A CableCARD-enabled television without a CableCARD inserted receives high-definition standard TV broadcasts. When a CableCARD is inserted, the television receives high-value high-definition, cable programming.

HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

4 out of 5 stars CableCard works if patient & get a good Tech - Need S-Card   December 20, 2009
Schmante Zuba (Philly Suburbs)
After way too many calls to verizon fios - the cable card function works - so I can install this set where I don't want a cablebox. You need to make sure the cable company brings an older S-Card not a newer M-Card. My set would not recognize the newer M-Cards - wouldn't recognize the 1st S-Card but did recognize the 2nd S-Card the tech tried. He wrote down the wrong serial # and told me to call it in after he left. I did and spent 2 + hours calling Verizon asking them to get it working and they were showing the card as activated. I had one guy in tech support tell me there was no way to get an S-card to work as they no longer support S-cards. I called back and got a good tech guy who kept trying. I finally thought to check the serial # saw the install tech wrote the wrong # down and the problem was fixed.

I'm happy with the product - albeit 720p is now old tech and I'd rather have 1080p - a used set of this model was much cheaper and I really wanted an internal cablecard.

Very pleased - if this was my main set though - I would probably opt to spend a bit more use a cable box and probably go with a newer Panasonic plasma.

I should have trusted my instincts and gone with the Sony set instead of this piece of junk!! The picture on this set is not that great and I love the feature of this set that causes the screen to black out for a second whenever bright lights flash across the screen. Philips suggested using the HDMI connection instead of using the component cables. After spending $100 on HDMI cables the problem persisted. I ended up selling the POS on ebay and buying the Sony set. This is the first and last Philips product I will EVER buy. Caveat Emptor everybody!!!

4 out of 5 stars Not a bad deal!!!   December 22, 2006
Gary W. Chitwood (CG, AZ)
I bought my set around June of 2006 and have had little to no problems with the refurbished set. The only problem i had with the refurbished aspect is that the sets stand did not sit level;so i have coasters on one side of the base stand and you could never tell. You can't beat two HDMI inputs and the picture quality is great,even with analog cable. The X-Box 360 looks perfect. The sleek look of the T.V. is just cake. The USB input is cool being that Philips creates fixes for bugs that where apparently wrong and you can view pictures if you do that. I did have an issue with Philips customer service. I bought a Philips upconverting DVD player and the remote for the T.V. was not compatible with the Philips player. How is that? I don't get it. In conclusion i don't see how you could get a better deal. Especially it now costing a mere 750 bucks.

Franklin L. Wills (Hernando, MS USA)
I have just had this TV for 3 days but am impressed with the picture quality
I connected my DVD Player/Recorder with a "S" video cable & am well pleased with the display.
I did find the best price at Sam's Club after spending over 2 weeks looking online & in local stores. I paid $961.00 including tax.
Maybe as I get more into it, I may find some of the glitchs that other reviewers have found.
For now I am very well pleased.
