Editorial note

The Philips 42PF5421D television stands out for its optimal image quality, offering a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels that ensures a pleasant viewing experience for all your content. Its brightness of 500 cd/m² ensures excellent visibility even in varying lighting conditions, and its wide viewing angle of 176° allows for comfortable viewing from different angles. Additionally, the low power consumption in standby mode of only 1 W contributes to significant energy savings. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The resolution may seem below the expectations of users seeking a high-definition or 4K experience. Similarly, while the response time of 8 ms is reasonable, it may not satisfy gamers looking for maximum responsiveness. Furthermore, the audio power of 2 W is relatively low, which may require the addition of an external audio system for a better sound experience. Finally, the weight of 70.4 kg makes the television difficult to move, which can pose challenges during installation. In terms of value for money, the model offers acceptable performance, but the need for an external audio system and the power consumption in active mode of 270 W can be seen as areas for improvement. Overall, the Philips 42PF5421D is a solid choice for those looking for a television with good image quality, despite some limitations in sound and responsiveness.
