| 707396 | 2008-09-24 00:36:00 | Very strange, but no big loss. They were never that great. Hopefully Sony will sponsor the ABs now! :D | wratterus (105) | ||
| 707397 | 2008-09-24 01:03:00 | Yep no loss. The quality has dropped over the past few years and Philips always seem to come at the bottom of the Consumer reliability surveys.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 707398 | 2008-09-24 01:12:00 | Not that I care about this product especially but: "New Zealand was judged too small a market to play in under the new regime. So was Australia. Campbell says she’s unaware of any other countries effected by Kleisterlee’s push." Thats what happened with Legend (one of my suppliers) they abandoned NZ as it was too small. |

| 707400 | 2008-09-25 08:43:00 | There latest TV's were actually pretty good. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 707401 | 2008-09-26 04:01:00 | Now if only we can convince Phillips that the US is too small of a market and have them pull out of here too. Gack! Junk that doesn't even come to cheap Chinese tvs. |

| 707402 | 2008-09-26 04:11:00 | we mostly get the budget end of philips which is Chinese made i think. quality is not good. however their top end i believe is still dutch made and is of good quality. they are not bad at all but market for such tv's is very small and with their brand being regarded as a cheap brand the top end would be a very hard sell for a tiny market. |

| 707404 | 2008-09-26 05:13:00 | From anecdotal evidence, Philips TVs are pretty unreliable. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
