vivo Y31d now officially available, price, specs in PH Two US-based satellite providers entering PH market in 2026 Xiaomi has officially launched its online store in the Philippines Google tests 5GB storage limit for new accounts without phone number verification Sony unveils Xperia 1 VIII

Samsung Philippines previewed their newest 55-inch LED TV last October, the inch-thick Samsung B8000 Series 8. They sent me one to test out for a week and I’m curious how that internet connectivity feature works.

I’ve tried and review the Series 7 LED TV here before and the 40-incher was great. This Series 8 I am using right now is 55″ and way bigger (it dwarfs my 42″ and 32″ LCD TV at home).

(Shown beside the Samsung B8000 is a 42″ LCD TV.)

Asrock’s local distributor sent me an HTPC last week and I have yet to unbox it. Would be perfect to try this out on the Samsung LED TV.

If you’re looking to get one of these this Christmas, prepare to shell out Php215,000.

Sir, can you please review the 24 inch lcd monitor from chimei. Siya kasi ang pinakabet kong mÃ¶nitor, best quality with the least price.

Ang ganda at ang mahal! Pano pa kaya yung 60″ TV na pinatalo lang sa sugal ng isang taga Louisiana! Natalo kasi sya sa isang bet sa Facebook, pinangtaya ba naman ang 60″ nyang flat screen tv? mangkano kaya yun? sa mga gusto makita yung video, click nyo lang yung pangalan ko. :)http://bit.ly/4t3Glz

You know you should raffle one of these off, or keep one for the sales you make off this. Or kya have a link to amazon.com :)

wooooooot! nag mura na.. kasi yung Series 7 LED dati around 256k yung SRP. hehehe. :D I think below 200k na series 7 at ang kaibahan lang nila ay yung motion plus na 120hz sa 7 at 240hz sa 8. yay!

@E ano ba ang magdedeliver? FEDEX? UPS? DHL? or sa POST Office Parcel Section?

E · 16 years ago

wow ganda, bagay n bagay s digital signal namen with sky digibox…

For petken, magatagal tlga magpadala ang mentor media, its not with microsoft…. Mentormedia ata kc nag ssuport lahat ng computer brands for win7 upgrade.. Inaabot ng month before u reciv the upgrade disc…

petken · 16 years ago

Sir yuga, sana mabasa mo to. May update ka po ba sa mga free windows 7 upgrades ng mga eligible laptops? Any viewer na nakatanggap na ng upgrade disc? Kasi yung upgrade disc ko eh nde ko pa narereceive. I don’t know kung sa microsoft or sa Gateway/Acer yung may problem. Yung sa tracking ko sa Mentor Media eh “Pick Up in Progress” pa since 11/11/2009 eh nakalagay na 6-10days ang delivery estimate pero nde pa rin nagbabago yung status.
