Manuals of product 42PFL6188K
Editorial note
The Philips 42PFL6188K television stands out for its exceptional picture quality, thanks to a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a dynamic contrast ratio of 500000:1, which provide deep blacks and bright whites. The PMR (Perfect Motion Rate) technology also enhances the fluidity of images, making the viewing experience particularly enjoyable, especially during action scenes. Additionally, its connectivity is versatile, with four HDMI ports and three USB 2.0 ports, facilitating the connection of various multimedia devices. However, this model has some limitations. It does not support 3D technology, which may disappoint those looking for an immersive three-dimensional experience. Furthermore, the lack of DVI ports and Bluetooth connectivity restricts connection options with some modern devices. Regarding audio, the sound quality is relatively low, with only two speakers and no built-in subwoofer, which may not satisfy audiophiles. Finally, the absence of Smart TV features and access to online streaming services may limit entertainment options for contemporary users. In terms of energy efficiency, the standby consumption is remarkably low, at only 0.15 W, contributing to appreciable savings. The design of the Philips 42PFL6188K is compatible with VESA mounting, making wall installation easier, although its weight of 12.5 kg may make handling difficult for some. In summary, the Philips 42PFL6188K is a solid choice for those who prioritize picture quality and connectivity, but it may not meet everyone's expectations regarding audio features and Smart TV capabilities.Score details
