Good deals for 40+ inch LCD HDTVs

Waste of money buying LCD TVs I’ve always thought. I’d rather buy bling hip-hopper style, pwede mo pang ipag benta later.

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.

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 :)

Yep. I have a WD TV and I must say, it was a worthwhile purchase. :)

Abe, if your going to purchase for a new one, Im interested in buying your old 32 inch LCD Tv. Let me know thanks! call or text me @ 091935*****, im having a hard time to call your personal mobile number.

they let you do a huge discount but really so its bad for those who buy the high price :)

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?

im presently in riyadh and the price of Samsung series 1 32″ LCD is just 21000 pesos.

Wow, they’re getting more affordable ah…

Nice..but samsung has 32″ LCD TV for 38K less 4K cash straight series 3 yata un..and alam ko nung Last Dec nagpromo rin ang LG ng LCD nila worth 29K for 32″..sayang wala me pera nun time na un..

there are devant models that costs less than 25k for a 32″

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.

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).

for confirmation guys i bought mine 3 months ago at abenson glorietta and they told me all lcd tv is disposal and last only for 12 years… please tell me if this is right? … devant 32″ works well and i’m agree with doodles same with mine…

mga devant lcd, durable din?

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.
