TrustedReviews reviews the Philips 50PF9631D 50? Plasma HDTV (rating: 8/10) and writes;

“Finally putting the 50PF9631D to work on a few of our favourite sources, we have to admit we felt a touch disappointed with the way its pictures turn out. The main over-riding problem is that there are sometimes quite considerable amounts of noise in the picture…Ultimately the 50PF9631D’s picture flaws suggest that Philips’ core plasma panel technology is perhaps not quite as up to partnering Pixel Plus technology as the company’s LCD technology. But the overall image quality is still solid, and a huge feature count makes sure the set looks fair value at under £2000.”

NewsFactorMag reviews the Philips 50PF9631D 50? Plasma HDTV (rating: 4/5 and writes;

“We were very pleased with the overall display quality from the 1,366 x 768 Pixel Resolution. Plasma is known for high-contrast images with stunning color reproduction, and this model keeps that reputation intact. Audio from this Philips model was very solid. Two built-in 12-watt speakers have digital signal processing, dynamic bass enhancement, and the virtual Dolby Digital sound system. An Auto Volume Leveler and graphic equalizer contribute to a very pleasing audio experience. “
