32″ KTC LCD TV going for Php13,500

Listen to article

A friend from college is a distributor of a number of electronic products and he recently mentioned to me he’s also into LCD TVs. They’ve been supplying stores in Gilmore for some time now with 23″ and 32″ KTC LCD TVs.

It’s your typical China-based brands that got its way into the country so it was no biggie until he told me the retail price is just Php13,500 for the 32″ model. Now that got my attention.

KTC 32T53 LCD TV
32″ display with 16:9 aspect ratio @ 1366×768 max. resolution
2 x HDMI port, VGA, S-Video, USB
MP3 & JPEG Support via USB port
140 watts max power consumption
Weight: 12.5kg

KTC 23T71 LCD TV
23″ display with 16:9 aspect ratio @ 1920×1080 max. resolution
2 x HDMI port, VGA, S-Video, USB
MP3 & JPEG Support via USB port
65 watts max power consumption
Weight: 5.5kg

The 32″, while not in full HD resolution, is still cheap at Php13.5k (my 3-year old 32″ Samsung TV has the same resolution but cost me Php70k back then). The smaller model gets full 1080p resolution though and sells for just Php7,995. They can be wall-mounted too.

You should see these models being sold in shops in Gilmore area and Greenhills although I am told they’re almost sold out. They’re still looking for a unit to send over for me to check out.

Regarding the KTC logo, it is molded in the frame. Sandpapering will only make it worse. Better paste Hello Kitty or Smiley button over it, heh heh!

mga sir, bumili ko last week ng KTC tv sa Gilmore. Yun 23″, sa Gaisano ko binili kasi meron sila nun led backlight na saka fullHD for only Php7,495.00. Pero i wanted the bigger one so i came back the next day to shop for the 32″ unit. I got one from PcOptions for only Php13,500. Mas gusto ko sana yun AOC na 32″ pero short na pera ko (Php16,00). So, KTC na lang. Okay naman design nya except for the very big logo in front. Kuntento naman family sa bago nila tv kaya lang di ko alam kung ano lalabas problema nito. To other users, pls. tell us if you have bad if any experiences regarding this brand for I am planning on buying another 23″ to use as a monitor for my pc and am waiting for the introduction of their new 32″ LEDtv or even the 42″ if they lower the price, about (Php22,00 now for the 42″lcd). Parang maganda. Dying to hear from you, guys! Thank you, all!!

I just bought my parents LG HD LCD TV…what a timing to see a low priced LCD TV. hehehehe

It is really low priced. But like what other say, risk taking lang talaga yan.

Better buy now than soon. Usually the better units are sold first than dun sa total mass produced ones.

I usually buy if nailabas for the first time kasi that is what I usually think, mas mataas ang quality ng mga unang release than the next one.

But then again, risk yan. If it conked, don’t blame me! Hehehehe

As for the brand names…you can cover the brand name with sticker naman if nahihiya kayo i-display hehehehe.

What is important is nakakanood kayo ng maayos and the sound is great regardless of brand.

But then again, QUALITY and SERVICE talaga ang habol natin regardless of brands. :-D

Wow, thanks! I’m in between a 19″ or 22″ for my 2nd Monitor to be dual screen.

I currently have a 18.5″ AOC LED. I’m thinking of the new Philips 18.5″ LED monitor but what you said is cheap. O_O

Cd-r King’s 32” LCD TV is priced at 13,900. Higher than 400 pesos. If I were to consider between these 2 cheapos, I’d pick Cd-r King due to its numerous branches that I could run to in case warranty is needed.

@ Eason

I recently bought a 22″ AOC LED monitor at 7,600 from Enigma. You can check their prices at http://enigma-phil.com.ph/index.php/pricelist.html.

1080p in 23″ or even a 32″ TV is meaningless, unless you want to be 1 foot from the screen.

Very affordable indeed.

Now that is good news! LCD tvs are getting cheaper, maybe next year lalong bumaba at pati LED baba na din ng kaunti kasi may 3D na sobrang mahal sa ngayon.

I bought a TCL 40in Full HD LCD TV at P26,712 last Saturday at Robinson’s appliances with 7 day replacement and 1 year warranty on parts and service. Very good deal for my HD videos from Apple TV and Cignal HD :)

Price wise this is a steal. Quality wise then that is something for us to risk and that’s what the review for.

I do hope that the amount of money you risk wouldn’t be in vain. Every time you buy a gadget there is a risk involved and you can only feel safe if the warranty can be relied on. If it is a carry in warranty, it would be tedious for those who will be buying it from far places and for those who do not have personal transport.

Honestly, I bought a 19″ widescreen lcd (lang), 3 years ago for this price, so far it didn’t conk out on me, so risk it is.

Abe, hope you can provide the contact number too when you review the unit.

The 23″ 7,995 looks good, but I’m kinda considering the 22 inch LED monitors, even without HDMI its just the same as DVI since sound its the only difference in the transmission.

Like the Philips, AOC, Viewsonic LED 22″ monitors cost around 8,700 which is a bit more but in the long run I think its better in terms of Electricity usage and clarity.

Or the 19″ versions for 5,500 pesos. O_O….

I don’t get the first first thing.

13k is already cheap as it is (comparable to the price of some entry level Android smartphones) why be more cheapskate and ask it to be priced at 10k?
