Manual of product 42PFL4508G
Editorial note
The Philips 42PFL4508G stands out for its exceptional picture quality, thanks to a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 360 Hz PMR technology that enhances image fluidity. With a brightness of 350 cd/m², this television offers good visibility even in well-lit environments. Additionally, its power consumption in standby mode is very low, at only 0.5 W, which is a considerable advantage for environmentally conscious users. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to modern applications and the Internet, making the user experience less intuitive compared to recent televisions. Furthermore, although the built-in speakers provide a decent audio experience, their power of 20 W may be insufficient for those seeking superior sound quality. The weight of 14.4 kg can also complicate transport and installation, especially for wall mounting. In terms of connectivity, the Philips 42PFL4508G offers three HDMI ports and two USB 2.0 ports, which is adequate for connecting multiple multimedia devices. However, the lack of 3D compatibility and certain modern features may disappoint users looking for a more immersive experience. Overall, this television represents good value for money, offering solid visual performance and a reasonably intuitive use, although improvements are desirable to meet the expectations of modern users.Score details
