Philips 28PW6515

The Philips 28PW6515 is a good all round tv the screen is lovely and also setting up is a doddle.. very happy with it

Bought in jan 02. Gave good service for nearly 6 years but then switching faults started when links to VCR and DVD would not work as before. Soon after that volume control problems began. By connecting stereo system in this was OK while volume turned itself down but became unusable when bagan turning itself up and DEAFENING us! The sound quality was quite good though!

Is this the life of Philips TVs?I think Japanese ones last longer.

After about 18 months of use my Philips 28PW6515 was selective in its response to the remote control, a frustrating problem that no amount of new batteries in the remote resolved. We're now 6 months on and it now flicks between input modes by itself after 30 mins viewing time and then switches itself off. After reading the other reviews i think it'll be making its way to the recycling centre soon!

This model Phillips has lasted 8 years for me and only now is it switching itself off/on. Its has been a great buy for me and will be sad to see it go.

I can't recommend this Philips TV. For me it was a waste of money. Mainly because of the picture quality. In the top quarter of the screen lines were not quite straight. Over the last year I had many problems with the screen in general. Flickering, sometimes no picture at all.

The tv isn't worth the repair. Apparently it is a very common problem with Phillips. The tv is only a year old. Should have bought a cheaper one from the supermarket! It would probably have lasted longer. Not what you would expect with a good name like Phillips!!!

Having bought the Philips 28PW6515 I thought was buying a TV from a reputable and quality manufacturer, I was extremely disappointed with it's reliability. I was even more disappointed with the poor response from Philips when I queried the problems. Very poor customer service. I would never buy Philips TV or audio equipment again, and would never recommend it to anyone.

My Philips 28PW6515 widescreen TV has also developed an intermittent fault, which means the Scart ports cannot be used at all, as the TV switches itself off. Sometimes I cannot turn the TV on or adjust the sound.

Given the other review comments it looks like I will also have to confine this TV to the bin.

I'm now on my second and last wide screen, Philips TV, in 5 years. The first ceased working with a tube fault, rendering it more expensive to repair and the second, my current TV, is taking the same route with the same tube problems.

After 3 years a fault developed with Philips TV not responding to the remote (changing channels, volume control etc). The fault was not with the remote but with the control chip. Over time the fault grew worse, the TV would switch itself on/off and now no longer works. The fix is £170 for a new chip.
