Editorial note

The Philips 42PF5521D television stands out with its 42-inch screen offering Full HD resolution, thus ensuring an immersive viewing experience with vibrant colors and sharp images thanks to a high contrast ratio of 10000:1. Its modern design in black and silver allows for a harmonious integration into various interior décors, adding an aesthetic touch to your space. However, this model has certain limitations.

Additionally, the absence of USB and Ethernet ports limits connectivity options with recent devices. The resolution of 1024 x 1080 pixels, while adequate, does not meet current 4K standards, which could be a drawback for those seeking superior image quality. Finally, its weight of 39.2 kg may complicate installation, and the Plasma technology used is prone to burn-in issues and image degradation over time. In summary, the Philips 42PF5521D is a television offering good image quality and an attractive design, but its limitations in connectivity and smart features may not meet the expectations of users looking for a more modern device.
