42" Philips Plasma tele (Silverhill Park TN34)

42 inch Philips Plasma widescreen tele model number 42PFP5532D05 which we bought new in 2008; an expensive tele at the time. LED televisions weren't so good in those days, plasma gave a better image which doesn't lag. However, it does mean that the tele is very heavy for a flat screen tele, and it uses 300w of power (1w on standby). (A plain 32" tele might use 80w, our replacement 50" smart tele uses 250w). The manuals, set up instructions etc are available.

The tele has loads of connection facilities but the remote control doesn't work well. This didn't matter to us because we use a receiver/recorder instead of its own tuner. The picture is still good EXCEPT that there is a pale strip about 2cm wide on the left hand side of the screen.

This is NOT a Smart tele. Standard is DVB-T. Speakers were replaced and work though we connected to a Hi-Fi system for excellent sound.
