Philips 50PFP5332D Review - 50-inch Plasma HDTV

Posted on Aug 24, 2007

The Philips 50PFP5332D/37 is another lower priced, large HDTV plasma set that appears to be a good value buy. 50-inch Plasma’s are a pretty standard size but you won’t usually find one for under $1500 like the 50PFP5332D. Philips is also a long-standing, reliable brand that you can usually trust. They have been in the game for quite awhile. The 50PFP5332D is a great looking set which features a thin case, black surround bezel and an included silver stand. This 50″ plasma set includes many of the features you should expect but is missing a few more advanced features that helps keep the price so low.

Philips 50PFP5332D/37 Features and Specifications:

  • Resolution: 720p, 1080i (1366 x 768)
  • Aspect Ratio: 16×9 Widescreen
  • Contrast Ratio: 10,000:1
  • Built-in Tuners: NTSC/ATSC/QAM
  • Brightness: 1200 cd/m2
  • Viewing Angle: 160 degrees
  • Speakers: 2, 30 watts total,virtual surround
  • HDMI Inputs: 2
  • Composite Inputs:2
  • Component Inputs: 2
  • S-Video Input: 1
  • USB Input: 1

You won’t be disappointed with the style and picture display of the Philips 50PFP5332D 50″ Plasma. It features Philips Pixel Plus 3 HD for extra sharp HD images. It also includes great stereo sound with virtual Dolby Digital surround sound. One downside to the Philips 50PFP5332D is the lack of 1080p resolution which is becoming more and more popular. HD movies like HDDVD, Blu-Ray and gaming systems like the PlayStation 3 have the capability to output a 1080p signal which will still work with the 50PFP5332D but won’t be quite as sharp as a TV that is capable of displaying 1080p. Overall, the Philips 50PFP5332D is one of the better value buys available.
