Was looking around from some good deals on 40+ inch LCD TVs and Anson’s Appliance Store seems to be doing a sale this summer. Check out some of the good deals I saw on HDTVs after the jump.
The target LCD size is between 40″ and 46″ with a maximum budget of Php80k (the same amount I paid for a 32″ Samsung HDTV about 2 years ago).
The likely candidates are the ff.
Samsung Series 5 LCD TV (40″)
Php89,990 (Php9,000 discount for cash/straight CC)
Free P181K DVD Player
Toshiba Regza (42″ 10-bit)
Php79,990 (Php8,000 discount for cash/straight CC)
Free Toshiba SD-580 DVD Player
Sanyo Vizon (42″)
Php59,995 (Php6,000 discount for cash/straight CC )
The units from Sharp and Sony are just beyond the Php100k mark for the same sizes so they’re out of the list. The Sanyo Vizon seems to be the best deal of the lot, unless you’re very particular about the brand. All three feature a 1080p (1920×1080 pixel) LCD screen.
There are so many other entrants in the 32″ category, mostly coming from China and they’re priced very low compared to the other name brands (TCL, for example, offers a 32″ LCD TV at sub-30k prices).
Sorry to tell you, but the name comes the guarantee that goes with the Company behind that name. So, even though Sony, LG, Samsung and Philips are high priced sets, their products and support are far better than other brands like Devant, Promac, etc. Also, think about the longevity of the product. Most big names would go for better parts, and eventhough they are assembled in China, that doesn’t mean their parts are cheap. And lastly, think about service. Again, the big names have better and more service centers. I own an LG 32LF20R that I bought with an HDMI Home theater System, and I must say, the colors are so vibrant, and the viewing angle is superb. Unlike old models of HDTVs (like my 19 inch Philips), the new LG models doesn’t change color when you view it at another angle aside from the front or direct view. Get one while they are on sale (Tip: ask for the LF and LH series).

Nice articles and nice share
32″ LCD TV’s are now just 24k or higher, I just bought another one last December, a 32″ Samsung LCD TV, and paired it side-by-side with my 32″ LG LCD TV which I bought last November 2009. My Samsung unit is better because it is a newer model. Go for LED TV’s, they are better and the prices have gone down, too.
