ETA - Otherwise I am sure that Philips can be found in the major chain stores.

keewee01: I really wouldn't bother with Philips - find another brand that will last! (Unless Philips have picked up their game in the last couple of years)
My parents previous 3 TV sets (both CRT and LCD) were Philips and none of them made it far out of warranty before they had serious issues! Their current (non-Philips) TV has happily made it well out side of warranty.
I knew a local store who stocked and pushed Philips because the head salesperson was getting great kickbacks from them! (Free TV here, something else there...) This was about 10 years ago.

Kraven: Philips pulled out of the NZ market in 2008. Story on NBR.

I disagree. I have had a Philips LCD for about 8 years. Never missed a beat. Only thing I have had to do was replace the batteries in the remote. It has a great picture for a SD panel, and the sound is great for a flat screen TV.
But, they do not have a retail presence in NZ, and if you got one from overseas, it would not work with Freeview here. There is a distributor in NZ for their professional panels and hotel TVs, and they are great products (I went to a demo a couple of weeks back).
Mark: Thats a bummer! :-(Haven't seen any. I think they are quite big in the US
Wonder if Vizio sell here?
