Good deals for 40+ inch LCD HDTVs

Listen to article

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).

toshiba regza

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).

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.

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).

well for me its all about punctuality why spending your money for a high price LCD? did you ever think that there’s no HD channel here in the Philippines even your a cable subscriber. i bought a Devant 32″ inches LCD same specs that you can find on samsung sony phillips LG etc… the only diff is the brand’s name you brought the brand name not the product’ all LCD TV are china made nut usually they put a Korea or Thailand made LCD.

Just bought a devant 32″ lcd tv for P29k+. with free dvd player where you can attach a USB flash drive. Then saw the same unit at glorietta before the holy week and the same package was offered to me for P27k flat. darn. Instead of using the dvd player though, i’m using it mostly with dream cable and wd tv and a 250gb WD passport. Best to watch CSI Miami in it. Wonderful color setting. Better than colors I get from CSI and the others.

42-inch Panasonic plasmas are having a close-out price right now, they are priced just around P40K, that’s the 720p (1024 x 768) model of course.

32-inch branded LCDs, again Panasonic, are going for around P25K, why the need to go for China brands when you can get Panasonic for the same price (possibly even cheaper)?

Sony is way too overpriced here in the Philippines. Stay away from Sony unless you have lots of money to burn.

Olyver,
Nope. Panasonic shut down their plant producing magnesium batteries since there are no or little demand for them anymore. That plant is located in Rizal. The one located in sta. Rosa is still operational as I pass through their vicinity everyday.

About LCD TV, has anyone tried Philips LCD TV? what can you say about it?

Best to go to alternative stores such as Listening in Style in Shang and TheaterWorks in Trinoma.

I would recommend a Panasonic Plasma 42″ that sells for P45t then add a WD player via HDMI for another P6t. You can’t go wrong with that.

ya its true, unless your playing HD or bluray, note we have no HD cable here and cable signal is not strong enough most of the times to supply a high quality picture (you might need an signal amplifier). that noted, theyre getting bigger, thinner and cheaper. 46 is a good size and Samsung is a good brand. Sony is way overpriced, does anyone SEE the difference? :)

Also regarding Samsung, their models with “content” are absolute worthless, you cant create custom content (well you can download a few) and its not very helpful, like static screens. Maybe slideshows a perk but there are some bugs. Also the USB ports only support flash drives, no USB HD supported, and it only plays certain types of media in certain formats, no MKV. Be sure to read the support file formats, resolutions and codecs if you’re interested in that. A good perk, there’s a lan port, so you can hook up a bridge or router to it and wirelessly (should be N, G is too slow) stream video or youtube or what not from your PC or media server to it :)

If you can live without 1080p, you can find a lot of good deals. I bought a 42″ LG TV for less than P50k a month ago. I compared 720p output to 1080p before I bought – for me the choice was 1080p at a smaller size, or 720p at 42 inches. I chose the larger screen and am happy with my decision (esp. since I don’t plan on going Blu-Ray – none of my media is in 1080p anyway). Frankly the difference in quality between 720p and 1080p is minimal on a 42″ LCD – perhaps the gap will be more apparent on a larger size screen.
