Refurbdepot.com this week has lowered the cost of the refurbished Philips 19-inch Widescreen LCD HDTV (model no. 19PFL5422D) by 76.4%, turning it’s once $829.99 list price into only $195.95 and making it the best price we could find for this HDTV by about $15. Ground shipping costs start at $19.95 and sales tax applies for residents of New York.

While the Philips 19-inch is more than adequate for movie and television viewing, it still only holds a three star rating amongst users. In some rare cases white-static tends to bleed into the screen after a short period of time, and after prolonged use, the TV may start turning itself on and off. For more reliability we suggest upgrading to either the Sony Bravia 32-inch LCD HDTV at Butterfluphoto.com, which is priced at $528 and includes FREE shipping. Or you can move to the 40-inch Samsung LCD TV at Buydig.com, available for only $1,099.00 and also has FREE shipping included. Continue to enhance your viewing experience by heading to Newegg.com and grabbing the Onkyo HT-S3200 5.1-Channel Home Theater System that’s dropped in price by $80, and can now be purchased for $299.00 with FREE shipping included.

The refurbished Philips 19-inch TV offers both HDMI and PC inputs, V-Chip parental controls, and two integrated 5W stereo speakers. Its 19-inch display can deliver a maximum 1440 x 900 resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio, and includes a fullscreen, zoom and super-wide viewing modes. Additional features include an Analog and Digital tuner, progressive scan technology, and a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty. Dimensions: (W) 19.3” x (D) 8” x (H) 16.4” with stand; weight 15lbs.
