Manual of product 42PF7421D
Editorial note
The Philips 42PF7421D stands out with its 42-inch screen size, providing an immersive visual experience, ideal for watching movies, series, or playing video games. Its brightness of 500 cd/m² ensures excellent visibility, even in bright environments, allowing you to enjoy your content without any constraints. Additionally, the quick response time of 8 ms contributes to a smooth experience, appreciated during fast action scenes. However, this model has some drawbacks. The resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards, where Full HD has become common, thus affecting the clarity of images on a screen of this size. Furthermore, the audio power limited to 2 W may not be enough for a satisfying sound experience, prompting users to turn to an external audio system. The weight of 70.4 kg makes the installation and movement of the television quite difficult, which can be a barrier for those looking to rearrange their space. Finally, the support for 480p video mode may restrict viewing options for high-definition enthusiasts. In terms of performance, the low power consumption in standby mode of 1 W is an asset, contributing to energy savings. The wide viewing angle of 176° also allows for an optimal viewing experience from different angles, although the weight remains a point to consider during installation. Overall, the Philips 42PF7421D offers a pleasant visual experience, but some technical aspects may not satisfy all users, particularly those in search of high definition and superior sound quality.Score details
