Just to keep things simple I'll post up any info for the new 5 series TV's here.

This range will come in two flavours.

The standard CCFL backlit TV's the PFL5405H

All the 5 series TV's now benifit from a 100Hz panel with 2ms response time and HD Natural Motion
The LED verios quotes a 500000:1 contrast ratio


PFL5605H RANGE
The 5605H will be available in 32", 40" 46" & 52" screen sizes

heres the interesting stuff....

These TV's should be into us early May - we have the 40PFL5605H in stock now.
The 5 Series models have really raised their game and benefit greatly from 100Hz screens and HD Natural motion.
The 40PFL5605H is quite an impressive TV's. Certainly more capable with handling motion over the previous 5 series TV's

Hi all

I'll be collecting the new 32PFL5405H from Philips a little later in the afternoon.

They're teasing us at the moment with TV releases....

The word is that more models are due over the course of next week, so I'll post up as and when they come in.

Sorry for the delay on these TV's I know some folks are waiting patiently on them:)

cheers ash

kitegear

hi guys...quick one...are you sure these tvs - PFL5605H are edge lit?? the specs say backlit?
thanks

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

mmm,

So it does...
I've been told that the 5, 7 and 8 series are all LED Edge Lit by the Philips reps:(

I'm going to have to check that out now.

I'll get back to you asap

Cheers
Ash

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi Kitegear

Yep they have just confirmed that the 5605H series is indeed an LED BACKLIT LCD TV and not EDGE LIT.

It isnt a Local Dimming set however.

Well spotted....I'm ashamed I didnt pick up on that:o

have a good one.
Ash

stackerman

And the obvious question for a dim bloke , is whats the difference and which is better ?
Any update on the 52 " ??

Original post amended to read "Back Lit".

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi Keving

Well the benefit of Edge Lit is that the TV's can be a fair bit slimmer as the light source is arrayed around the edge of the screen.

The LED Backlit type of TV's have the LED's arrayed directly behind the LCD Screen so are a little deeper than the Edge lit type.
On the 5605H series of screens the LED array isnt of the Local Dimming type (that fun stuff starts with the 9704/9705 series) but constant light output

Both techs give much greater contrast over a standard CCFL backlight used in regular LCD TV's plus use far less electricty when power up and running.

As to which is the better tech, well Local Dimming LED Backlighting is the best of the bunch (Edge Lit cant local dim due to the fact that its around the edge of the screen)
I'll wait until I see a 7605 and 5605 side by side before I can answer between the two other types.

hope that illuminates the difference (sorry counldn't resist:rolleyes:)

Hi Ash,

What price can you give me for the 42pfl5405h. It would be for collection. Is is still a good TV you recommend?

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi Nero123

Yep for the price this is an excellent TV - has the core spec that most people need on a big screen TV, namely 100Hz refresh rate and a fast response time of 2ms and packs a very good image processor in the shape of Pixel Plus HD.

Heres the spec for you to have a read of
http://www.philipsshop.ie/Spec%20Sheets/42pfl5405h_05_pss_eng.pdf

I have 'em in stock and your very welcome to collect from the shop.
I will pm you a price.

Cheers
Ash
