Manual of product 42PF9956
Editorial note
The Philips 42PF9956 stands out with its Plasma display technology, offering exceptional image quality with vibrant colors and marked contrasts. Its 160° viewing angle allows for optimal viewing, making it ideal for family or friends sharing moments. Additionally, its brightness of 700 cd/m² ensures good visibility even in varying lighting conditions, and its modern design in silver finish easily integrates into any type of decor. However, this model has some notable drawbacks. Its resolution of 852 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, thus limiting the display quality for high-definition content. Moreover, with a weight of 42 kg, transport and installation can be challenging, especially in tight spaces. The power consumption of 450 W is also relatively high, which could impact electricity costs in the long term. Finally, the limited number of HDMI ports may restrict connectivity with multiple modern devices. Overall, while the Philips 42PF9956 offers an immersive visual experience and an aesthetic design, it may not meet the expectations of users seeking more advanced display technology and better connectivity.Score details
