Just converted to HDMI inputs after 7 years. Looks beautiful in 1080I or 720P, but screen periodically flashes to pink, loses sound, then flickers thru various other colors before re-acquirg the signal. This does Not happen at 480P,

Try the easisest route first - unplug and replug HDMI cable into same port or the other hdmi port on the TV. Also, make sure the Monster cable isn't HDMI 1.3 - I'm not sure the HDMI ports on this tv are fully compat with 1.3.
If that fails, go to www.usasupport.philips.com, enter your model number, click on the verison of your model ending in /37, and click on "Software & Drivers"; click on the link that says "Firmware Upgrade - Software" - read the specs and see if it says anything about audio loss on HDMI - many Philips have issues with the HDMI ports - they are not broken, but just need a software fix. Instructions are on the same page - make sure you only transfer the .upg file, not the entire zip file to a portable memory stick.
Here are the notes I see:

• Improved info in the service menu.
• Improved picture quality and stability on HDMI.
• Installation of channels.

Connect the xbox to anothe source and make sure the resolution is correct on the Xbox. If so and the set is in warranty contact Philips @1-888-744-5477 and have them take care of the repairs under warranty.

Common issue I have come across when using any TV as a PC monitor. Best workaround i found is just dont change inputs or reboot the PC and the tv will pick it back up.

I have codes for access to the Service Alignment Mode (SAM). I can walk you through it.

This is quite tricky as it was working until last night and suddenly stopped receiving signals. What can happen wrong?
Do you have any other Player or other HDMI cables to try out. Sometimes the cables would be damaged or PC may fail to detect the HDMI.
Try this out from Philips helpdesk where there is new SW and FAQs are available.
