Notes

The picture quality over component is mostly fantastic. I personally recommend down color saturation in the standard menu to get optimal results. The set even supports 50hz, but only over component will it be in color.

Chassis was originally made by TCL hence the "TC" in the chassis model number. However, that was just Philips's name for the chassis, as it is also known as the M123A chassis in RCA's 20F512T.

An account of one unit was that it exhibited "black crush that kicked in when there was a lot of bright colors onscreen," whereas another unit of this same model did not exhibit any such issue of the sort.

Repair Notes

One of the units pictured had serious issues with the front buttons being unresponsive and triggering unintended actions of other buttons. This has been reported by others as well^[1][2]. The standard fix is to spray contact cleaner on the microswitches or to just replace them.
