I own four refurbished Philips LED TV’s. Two were purchased on Woot and the others directly from the company. I have never had any problems with them at all and they are great TV’s. I would buy this 39" right now if I needed a TV. The two TV’s previously purchased from Woot have netTV and it works great. Hard to beat.
The specs on this woot product site say this hdtv has a 120hz refresh rate, but when I research these model numbers on the internet; Amazon, Walmart, and Philips webstites all say it is only a 60hz refresh rate?
Is the model number wrong? Or is the refresh rate listed here wrong? Or is Amazon, Walmart, and Philips wrong?
I don’t have either of these particular TVs but I have purchased (from woot!) a 22" and 32" Philips referb. Both have been excellent and both are still going strong several years later.
The real question here is, is this really a good deal? a 43’ Samsung Plasma is $379 everywhere and even at 720p is so much more pleasing to look at. I have bought two 43" and one 50" 1080p Samsung plasmas and again, for movies, sports, and a room that’s not too bight, they are the best viewing experience.
So $319 for the 40" refurb save your pennies a few more weeks and get a new 43" plasma. Your choice.
The spec tab says it uses wifi-n. This means it should work with most modern wifi routers. I’m still researching why everyone else says these tvs have a 60hz refresh rate but woot says these are 120hz.
Asked the set up peeps, they say: Philips calls it 120Hz Perfect Motion Rate which is a simulated 120Hz refresh rate. We call them both 120Hz PMR which is correct.
