Phillips 47pfl9632d79 Television TV - Philips 47pfl9632d79 • 119cm/47-inch HD TV, 100Hz LCD technology, response time of 3 milliseconds.• Upgraded to the latest firmware.• I have owned this from new, RRP $3599.95, works perfectly. • It has side inputs/outputs, makes connecting game consoles easy.• This screen would make an excellent second TV or a gaming TV. • What I love about this TV is the audio features: – the built-in speakers have very good sound; it doesn’t need a soundbar! – it has analogue RCA audio outputs; I used these with a long RCA lead to route the audio into my stereo hi-f
At A$220, this is a bit above the usual used market, but not wildly so for a clean, working example.
That said, the premium is really about whether it’s in genuinely excellent condition and fully operational. These older Philips flat panels can still be pleasing for casual TV use or a retro setup, with decent image processing for their era and solid build quality. The value here improves if the stand, remote, and all inputs are intact, since replacement parts and convenience extras matter more on a set this age. If it’s been well cared for and powers up cleanly, it’s a reasonable buy; if not, I’d want to negotiate closer to the median A$172.

Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
