Philips launches Aurea II and first LED-backlit LCD TV

If only the 42PFL9803H had a catchy name too

Not one for memorable product names, Philips has launched the 42PFL9803H LCD TV. Just as well it has a notable selling point, and that the Aurea II, also announced today, it slightly more memorable.

Talking of light, Philips has also updated its Aurea LCD to the Aurea II. Fans of the glowing box will get more of the same, but from a more compact frame in non-reflective glass. And with an increased number of LEDs, the colours produced on the border are a closer match to what's on the screen. What does that mean in practice? Well, according to Philips, less eye strain and a 'perceived improvement' in contrast and picture quality. The 42-inch TV will retail from this month for £2,499.

What if you actually bought one of these 10 months ago! I would never buy any TV from Philips as you spend a few thousand pounds only for them to upgrade it a year later.

I knwo you pay the price for being an early adopter but there has to be a limit!

P.S. I own a Samsung :)
