The modern and sleek design of the model, rated at 80, allows it to blend harmoniously into various spaces, although its weight may pose challenges during installation. The value for money is considered fair with a score of 70, but the high energy consumption could impact long-term costs. Practical features received a score of 75, with elements such as 1200-page teletext and child safety, although the absence of 4K represents a shortcoming for some users. Finally, the provided documentation is very comprehensive, with a score of 90, greatly facilitating the use and setup of the product. In summary, the Philips 42PFL9664H is a high-performing and stylish television, ideal for a rewarding multimedia experience, but with some limitations to consider.
