Philips 5000 series LCD TV



Categorizing the 5403-series TVs as entry-level panels is an understatement, given their promising specifications. Although they are the lowest-end models in Philips' LCD TV stable, their future-proofed full-HD resolution, high 30,000:1 dynamic contrast and blazing-fast 5ms response time are far from humble. What you do have to live with is their color reproduction capability which is limited by a down-to-earth 8-bit panel. Nonetheless, you do have the benefit of In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen technology renowned for delivering exceptionally wide viewing angles.

For affordability, you'll have to settle with Philips' basic HD Natural Motion (HDNM) and 2005 Pixel Plus 2 HD video engines. A step-down version of its flagship Perfect Natural Motion processing, HDNM minimizes image judder and blurring by interpolating image frames from 25 to 50 frames-per-second. To further reduce cost, the 5403-series lacks other value-added extras ranging from onboard multimedia playback to xvYCC support. Nonetheless, it features the powerful 30W digital amplifier, with matching "invisible" rear speakers found in the 7000-series.
