Philips will never get its praise because here in the states most of us have never seen their top tier products. I'm not claiming he's correct but the do sell exceptional products in Europe, and continually win design awards. But as long as there isn't any exposure in the US we will never know. Even back with crt they had set that was on par with the xbr but as long we Amercans remain sheep and follow the crowd we will never know. In some place that I won't mention if you say a bad word against Kuro be prepared to be lynched. my 2 cents
Last year (or two), we had their 42" flagship LCD and 50" flagship plasma in our store. They were very nice. Made in Belgium, great build quality, good picture, and terrible ergonomics. That said, they were pretty cool.
