Would've been nice if this used passive glasses. Otherwise, I don't see how anyone would choose this over the Panasonic P42UT30 unless they'll use it with a PC.
I'm currently interested with LG's 3D LED models because of their passive solution.

Yes, the built-in USB can read 3D SBS files. :D

Passive eyeglass has the disadvantage. It delivers lower resolution to eyeglass viewing. :D

Hi sir,
Which is the better purchase, the skyworth or the devant 3d tv?

Hi sir,
Which is the better purchase, the skyworth or the devant 3d tv?
Devant is just a marketing company, not a TV manufacturer. Devant outsources its products from OEM (original equipment manufacturer) companies that supplied TV. Skyworth is one of the companies that supply TV to Devant.
Definitely, buying a Skyworth has advantages over buying a third party brand TV. One is that you get lower price when buying direct from the manufacturer. Another is you are aware of the origin of the TV. Example, buying a Skyworth assures you that it is a Skyworth, but buying a Devant won't assure you it's a Skyworth; inside, Devant might be some other brands like Changhong, Haier, etc.
By the way, Devant 3D is a Skyworth. I suggest you get the Skyworth. After all, Skyworth 42E96 is an award winning TV (as seen in hello-pinoy). Follow the link for the review: https://www.hello-pinoy.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=157 :D

Thanks for the reply sir. Might drop by the store this week to check your displays. :)

Sir Vic is this the same scenario with Avision products? So far I am very happy with the 2 Avisions that I have purchased from your store. I just wanted to be educated on these brands so I can recomment them as well.

I think that its the same case with avision as well. The remote of the old avision 42al69 i had and the remote of my neighbor's 32 inch devant are identical - yung print lang nung brands nila sa remote ang pinag kaiba.
Not to take away from avision though. It has given me almost 2 years of video entertainment with quality i cannot complain about.

Yes, Devant and AVision are both made by Skyworth. You will find same outlook and same feature. Its 120Hz trumotion is made by the same Skyworth video engine. :D

Hi,
May browser na po ba ito at kaya ba nya ung mga site na required Flash 10 up gaya ng Youtube.
Android na rin po ba ang OS nya, pwede mag install ng android apps?
Maganda sana kung kaya nya rin ang network browsing parang DLNA para ma play ko ung mga videos, songs at images ko sa wireless network ko, para hindi na ako mag sasaksak ng USB sa tv.
Thanks

This Skyworth smart device is powered by Android, hence it accommodates the many available applications that extend the functionality of the devices, including flash 10, web browsing, etc. :D
-
So ibig po ba sabihin nito ay pwede akong mag download ng mga Andriod apps gaya ng:
1. Skype, siguro native to dahil may free webcam? Maganda kasi makipag video chat pag malaki screen.
2. Web browser that supports a version of flash which can be used for sites like youtube?
3. Network browser so I can play my media files on my wireless network?
Nasubukan nyo na po ba ito sa TV na ito? Ano nga po pala version ng Andriod nya?
Salamat po.

Punts ka na sa s&s to audition this unit pre! judging by the specs and features, i think it's a good buy. May net connection naman yata sila sa shop so you can test the internet capabilities too.

I really plan to. They have a very competitive price for this model. I plan to buy this TV in about 2 to 4 weeks time, depends on my cash flow, so I want to be sure of its capabilities.
Anyone who purchased this TV? It's appreciated if you could share your comments.

Sorry for sending wrong info. Android has no browser application (app), hence the Skyworth has no browser. You may check the web for other Anroid apps. Any Android apps can work for this Android Skyworth TV. :D

Totoo po ba na may net connection sa SnS? So pwede po ma test ung internet capabilities ng TV?

I actually tried the 3d demo of this unit when I purchased my Samsung 40EH5000.
I 5 yr old daugther loved it... and was actually forcing me to get this instead. Kaso nga lang I guess 3d is not for me. Nahilo ako :-[ But judging by how my daughter went infront of the tv to mimic touching the fish on the screen, Id say its a good buy.
-

Yes, we have wifi connection at the shop. :D

This review was made by 3wisemen composed of Carlo777, Mokong, and Tuang Ong. Taken from www.hello-pinoy.com
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee128/ereply/skyworth.jpg)
You’ll be within your rights to think that P44,990. for an LED TV is rather a good price. So when we tell you that this set has 3D and Smart functionality, you’ll probably start to wonder what’s the catch is with the Skyworth 42E96.
For those new to this brand name, let us explain Skyworth’s heritage. Skyworth is an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) company that supplied TV to other companies to resell or incorporate into another product using the reseller's brand name. Here in the Philippine, we have quite a number of branded TVs that are supplied by Skyworth. Skyworth therefore is a TV manufacturer that is engaged in researching, sales and distribution of consumer electronic, internet communication and security and protection products. Skyworth started distributing their own brand last February this year. Soon they will go full gear for aggressive ads and promo campaign. And so we say, WELCOME Skyworth! Join the fun for an exciting TV price war!
This Skyworth has abundant connectivity: 3 HDMI, 4 USB movie, Ethernet port, 5.1 optical out, subwoofer out, PC D-sub connectivity, component video, and composite video. It also includes a motion sensor for gaming. The specs include Full HD, light sensor that works to complement room ambience, smart device, and 120Hz 3D functionality.
The tuner quality excels displaying punchy color, but as usual there’s a touch of noise because of our country’s standard definition broadcasts which are still in analog signal conversion.
With a punchy Blu-ray like John Carter you’ll have few complaints: the images are vivid and color-balanced, skin tones are accurate, edges are cleanly drawn, black shade deliver plenty of information, and even fast motion remain detailed and composed.
Step down to DVD and the Skyworth proves satisfying at upscaling standard-def content. It delivers natural and convincing color, detail is high even on dark scenes. Again, there’s a picture noise but at minimum.
Switch to 3D John Carter 3D and we see passive eyeglass works well. It may not have as high definition as the active TV, but slight shortage of definition is a minor to complain. After all, 3D pictures are bright and colorful (not dim display as presented by the active eyeglasses). Depth is also decent and convincing. There’s a deep sense of black and minimal crosstalk, but fairly easy to the eyes.
The Skywoth provides 4 eyeglasses, and of course they are passive which provides more comfortable thanks to lighter glasses. With all these good specs, the 42E96 is an absolute bargain. It delivers tremendous performance considering its lowly price. There’s little to fault in this TV. We highly recommend it!

Hi sir vic, got this tv this afternoon and am exploring it as of the moment. Just a few questions.. .
1. It came with a USB with some contents, tried plugging it though it seems it has no use.
2. Is there a firmware update? If there would be, would you be advising us? How can I update it?
3. Tried the wired connection to test the smart capabilities but it's not working . . .google, yahoo, etc. or maybe am doing something wrong.
Initial impressions, the review speaks for itself! Worth every piso!
Thanks again and more power sns!

Hi Pare,
I am choosing between this brand and LG.
Few questions lang.

2. If ever gumana na ung browser, can you view youtube videos?
3. Sabi rin Andriod OS daw sya, naka download and install kba ng android apps?
4. Nakakapag play kba ng mga media files over the network gaya ng mga files mo sa pc or nas?
5. Lastly, hows the tru motion and image quality for both 2d and 3d?
Thanks

I was with the review crew that looked at this unit. Though I was impressed that a little known TV was quite good, it still does not have the color reproduction and the deep black levels of the Panasonic.

Hi,
Are you comparing the Skyworth 42E96 LED with a Panasonic Plasma? How much is the Panasonic?

Hi,

pana 42st30 35k with two glasses at sns. bought last Monday there. side by side with Skyworth, the 3D of pana is much much awesome than the skyworth.
-
Ano ba yan, naguguluhan na ako.
I plan to buy a 3d tv this Sat (2 days nlang) Skyworth sana, pero mas maganda ang pq nitong Panasonic, ang hindi ko lang gusto sa kanya is Plasma (power consumption in mind) at Active (medyo mahal ung glasses).
Iniisip ko tuloy na bilhin ko nlang ung Panasonic 42ET5 sa Amazon US, LED passive at around 800USD ipapadala ko nlang dito sa Pilipinas, kaya lang 1 month pa bago dumating.
Naguguluhan nako, Helllppppp. :-)
-
Ok, today I went to SNS, nandun ang Panasonic ST30, Skyworth e96 and LG 6200, Samsung.
2D, Picture Quality, for me LG was the clear winner, Panasonic then Skyworth. A bit of calibration with the Skyworth it almost looked like the LG and around the same level with the Panasonic one, maybe a little bit lower. We should keep in mind that the Panasonic is a Plasma, whereas Skyworth and LG are LEDs so dapat na mas maganda ang picture quality ng Panasonic.
Now, with the 3D, some people might say that the Panasonic is better, this might be true, but with my experience, though the PQ is a bit better, its quite dark and eye straining (sumakit ulo ko pati na ung ulo ng taga SNS). When we watched using the Skyworth hindi masyadong masakit sa mata at ung picture was very decent same with LG passive.
I want to watch 3D movies and play 3D games for long periods of time so ill go for the Skyworth or LG since its less eye straining with passive glasses.
Another thing is, Panasonic glasses costs 3,500 each whereas LG & Skyworth less than 500.
Now, power consumption, Plasmas consume more or less double that of an LED.
Price, Panasonic is 35k, Skyworth 40k, LG 53k.
Warranty, Panasonic 1 year, Skyworth 2 years, LG 53k 2 years?
Panasonic Plasma
Pros: 2D/ 3D good PQ, Low Price
Cons: 3D glasses - eyes training/ a bit dark and Expensive, High Power Consumption
LG LED
Pros: Best PQ, Decent 3D, cheap glasses/ less eye straining, Low Power Consumption
Cons: Expensive
Skyworth
Pros: Decent 3D, cheap glasses/ less eye straining, Low Power Consumption, Price, Warranty
Cons: PQ is not as good as Panasonic and LG but with some calibrations, it will be
almost as good as the panasonic
Samsung was also there pero para skin pareho lang sila ng PQ ng Skyworth, pinaka mahal pati ang Samsung.
I have made up my mind and will buy the Skyworth TV tomorrow.
-
The 3D glasses of the panny are expensive mainly bec they are active 3d glasses and s and s carries only original ones. But arent 2 pairs of these glasses bundled with the purchase of the 42st30? That's what i got when i purchased mine for 35k a month ago.

Yan ang worry ko sa active glasses, though people say it provides better quality images compared to passive, mahal sya, medyo madilim at masakit sa mata para skin.
Yes 2 are bundled, though I need at least 3. 5 to 6 would be ideal for the whole family.
How's the 2D and 3D performance as well as the power consumption? How many hours per day do you use it?
-
I have to admit, that i have only watched 1 movie na 3d with it and played Uncharted 3 in 3d with it. i was very happy with the depth of the 3d images as well as the brightness levels. wala naman akong na experience na masakit sa mata. although 3D is always best views in extremely low lighting conditions.
Hour of use per day? varries. 4 on the average. sometimes higher, sometimes lower.
Power consumption? i pretty much use it now as much as i used my old Avision 42 inch LCD. Wala namang dramatic increase sa power bills. in fact di nga tumaas kuyente ko this month - prolly because malamig din ang panahon and bagong palinis yung Aircon ko. hehehe!
I keep my contrast level at 55 and my brightness at 50. dynamic viewing mode on, & eco mode off at all times.
pero if you mention that the quantity of 3d glasses is impt for you, then by all means go with the skyworth. I have seen this TV in action when i bought the panny 42st30, and it was something i would not have regreted buying if i were looking fo a 3d led at the time.
Pero coming from 4 LCD Tvs already, i thought that it was high time to try plasma... and i am very very happy with it.
-
Thanks for the info and i am considering it.
Bahala na bukas :-)
-
Goodluck! considering that youve narrowed it down to those 2 choices, im sure you wont be going home with any regrets, regardless of which of them you decide to go home with. :D
-
Thanks for the info and i am considering it.
Bahala na bukas :-)
sit goodluck on your purchase, Ako I am with my wife last monday we were there for about a little less than two hours just testing skyworth and st30. I went home with ST30 pero split decision talaga. very close. yung difference nya sobrang liit based sa mga testings ko.
Pero bottomline, paginuwi mo yung TV, isa na lang sya at you dont have the other tv to compare with, meaning kahit ano iuwi mo sobrang ganda ng PQ nya kapag wala ka ng pinagkukumparahan. mas maganda to better justify your purchase i compare mo sya side by side sa luma mong TV ang laki ng difference! hehehehe!!
I went home with PANA ST30 and yung mga hindi ko nagustuhan sa kanya VS skyworth e hindi ko na napapansin ngayon.
my daughter watched 3D IMAX under the sea at tahiti waves 3D numerous times and hindi nagsasawa. nagiinvite pa ng kalaro sa bahay just to watch the 3D.
One thing lang na pwede ko malagay na cons sa St30 ay mainit ang screen nya. pagdumaan ka sa harapan you would feel it.
i am not an expert in terms of flat panels, this is a review of a very satisfied consumer.
-
Thanks, nasa SNS ako kahapon. I purchased the Skyworth TV pero ung kasabay ko dun ung Panasonic Plasma ung binili nya. Para skin, talagang close match sila. Maganda ang picture quality ng Panasonic pero a few adjustments halos pumareho na rin si Skyworth. Gusto sana si Plasma, ang pumigil skin is ung power consumption and price ng glasses. Ang LG TV kasi dito sa sala nasa 8 to 10 hours ang gamit kaya gusto ko ng LED para less power consumption and more glasses para makapanood si Lolo, Lola, Wifey, ako at Baby ko.
Ngayon sya i dedeliver and i will compare picture quality with my existing 42 inch LG LD460.
Tama in a lot of ways, na kung ung Panasonic man ang nakuha ko, hindi rin ako mag sisisi kasi maliit lang talaga ung deciding factor.
I will post my observations etc on this TV after a few days/ weeks of use :)
-
Thank you all who purchase TV from Sights and Sounds. Congrats for getting awesome TVs!
-
Ako ay lalung nalito at dagdag pa ang ulan at di makapag byahe. :(
Pero super thanks sa lahat ng input. Magagaling at helpful. :)

Hi,
Specs (Clarifications)
- LED
- 3D
- 60hz -> not 120hz as stated in the forums as i verified this calling Skyworth
- Web Cam -> for games only, not a skype cam as stated in the forums
- Internet -> wifi dongle sold separately, only web browsing, no flash so cannot
load youtube videos etc
- Smart TV -> only for playing games in the free 2GB usb drive
- 4 Passive Glasses
Pros
- decent picture quality in hd
- decent picture quality in 3d
- low power consumption
- cheap glasses (P150 each accor to skyworth)
Cons
- average to poor picture quality (cable tv)
- slow interface like changing channel/ volume etc
- can only play 3d sbs via usb not via media player or alike
- though they say that the OS is based or build on android, you cannot use or
download apps from the android market, i dont know if this will change on
a software update which they still dont have at the time of this writing
I noticed backlight bleeding on the upper right, i guess chambahan nlang din at led
is prone to it, doesnt bother me much on ambient lighting only visible if room is dark
and scenes are dark.
Ok, for 40K, i get, an LED (low power consumption), 3DTV (with cheap glasses)
Internet Browser (without flash and Dongle sold separately), Smart TV by having Games
in the free usb with Webcam (webcam only for games not for skype)
All in all, I could say the purchase is fair, when comparing it to the 35k Panasonic plasma
and the 53K LG led. Some have their pros and cons, i guess thats why some are cheaper and
some are more expensive than others.
Now, that you have an idea, I suggest you go to SNS and check it for yourself/ compare side
by side with other brands so you yourself can decide if its worth the price.
-
Wow thanks for the detailed info bro. I was really tempted by the Android OS
-
Thanks for the review deathwing. Am saving up for the skyworth also. Am leaning towards this because of the passive glasses. More people can enjoy the experience. :)
Question, what if the media player has 3d capabilities, will it play the 3d files fine or do you still need to play the file via usb? And its not 120hz?
-
Thanks for the review deathwing. Am saving up for the skyworth also. Am leaning towards this because of the passive glasses. More people can enjoy the experience. :)
Question, what if the media player has 3d capabilities, will it play the 3d files fine or do you still need to play the file via usb? And its not 120hz?
"SBS/ TaB files" played using external devices such as media players will not work, i tried this with my PC, Home Theater, XBox 360 and WD Player hooked up on this TV. However, according to Skyworth, it will play SBS/ TaB on USB storage devices directly hooked up to the TV, i can confirm this.
With regards to media player with 3D capability, i havent tried it yet. Though Blu ray 3D from players such as PS3 should work, though i havent tested this yet as i have to buy a PS3 next month (the TV would be useless if it didnt).
Finally, 120hz, before buying this TV i was really glad that it had it, but when i looked closely at how it played media files, i had my doubts. I asked the sales person from SM if it is 120hz and he said no its only 60hz, i did not believe him. Then i asked the sales person from SNS if it really 120hz, and he said yes, so i asked where is the setting for turning it on and off, and he said there is none.
Ok, i looked at Skyworth e62 (i think was the brand) which is 120hz and there was clearly a difference and the model has a on/ off function for the 120hz. Finally, to set aside all doubts, i called Skyworth directly at 555-1555 to ask if e96 is really 120hz, and they said NO, it is only 60hz. Don't take my word for it, please call them.
All in all, i would still say its a fair buy. LED+3D for 40K, you decide :-)
-
Sir, how did you you install the games from the USB. Checked mine and there's only one game when I hook up the camera.
Also tried using the web surfing via wired connection, pretty cool, though am not used to using the remote yet. Have you tried any wifi dongle? Bought a cheap wifi dongle and doesn't work when plugged in thru the USB port.
Also noticed the heat vs my previous LCD when watchin for long hours, you can feel the difference in room temp. cooler when using LED tv . . .thus cheaper power consumption. My 32 LCD panny is 130w. Skyworth is only 110w.
Overall am happy with my purchase. 3d movie hunting mode since I only got a couple of sampler 3d short films.
Btw, was skeptic with its 3d mode at first since I heard you get dizzy. Parang batang na amaze when fish, water and butterflies pop out from your screen. Now you can just imagine my kids reactions. . . .

I did not bother with the USB games as i have a Wii and 360 already :-)
Yes i tried wired lan, with wireless mouse and keyboard and it worked. Only downside is the wireless keyboard is not working on html text areas/ input, only works on url location at top, maybe this will be fixed by a firmware update if there will be any.
Did not try wireless dongle, as i was not impressed with the browser as no flash so i did not bother to buy the dongle. Its P1,500 as SnS same price at Skyworth.
Low power consumption is always good news :-)
SnS does not give pirated movies as its against the law :-)
3D, yes i got dizzy at first but im used to it now.

sir deathwing, do they have an explanation why this tv cant play sbs using an external media player? what a bummer i was actually considering this tv because of its sbs playing capabilities and its 120hz refresh rate.
-
Just watched john carter 3d. Pretty good in depths. Though am looking for movies that gives the effect that figures come out live from your tv. . . Agree, my eyes are getting used to it.
How do we solve the bleeding?
-
The current firmware does not have the capability to play via external media player. Though a firmware update may fix this issue.
Sa 120hz, I weigh mo nlang ung current prices at specs ng competitors vs dito para maka help sa decision mo.
Ung Panasonic, deeper blacks, very good picture quality at 120hz, at 35k pero plasma kaya malakas sa koryente at mahal ang glasses kasi active, 1 year warranty. I suggest you buy this if hindi mo masyado gagamitin ang TV at konti lang ung gagamit ng glasses.
Ung LG nman, LED tapos Smart TV talaga at 120hz kaya lang 53k nman. This is the best to buy if you have the money, 2 year warranty. Tipid sa koryente, maganda picture quality at mura glasses kasi passive.
Sa gaya ko na katamtaman lang ang budget, napunta ako sa gitna, itong Skyworth na 3D LED at 60hz for 40k, 2 year warranty. Kaya ito binili kasi 6 to 10 hours ang gamit nito sa living room, bale ito ung pang harabas ko, tipid na sa koryente, 2 year warranty pa.
Sa pop out ng movies, seems ung mga animated movies ang mas may pop out, tapos ung mga normal movies is more on depth.
Mga may more pop out na try ko is Alice In Wonderland, IMAX Under The Sea, Open Season, Despicable Me, moderate pop out, Monsters Vs Aliens, Tangled. Mostly IMAX movies more on pop outs sabi nila.
Kung ung backlight bleeding gets really annoying, pwede nman cguro itawag sa Skyworth, may 2 years warranty nman ung set.

ouch 60hz lang pala ito...sayang pinag-iipunan ko pa naman to para sa september :'(

Hi sir Vic, what's the best video settings after burn in based on your exp?

The Skyworth 3D is 120hz, not 60Hz. All 3D TV requires at least 120HZ for acceptable resolution when rendering 3D video. :D

Skyworth's settings in our showroom:
Brightness 45
Contrast 95
Color 55
Sharpness 50
DNR High :D

Hi Sir,
This Devant 3D TV is only 60hz
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?topic=158565.0
I really want this to be 120hz though I called Skyworth at 555-1555 and they said its only 60hz.
I guess the best way to check this is to compare it side by side with the LG 6200 and the Skyworth E62 which has a on and off for 120hz as this model has no 120hz on and off.
Actually, I was the one who set the settings for Skyworth at the SnS showroom that is when I tested the model. The best picture quality I could find at the time was the LG 6200 so I made the settings of the Skyworth E96 to be as close to the LG 6200 as I can get, though I remember the contrast was 90 and DNR was Medium because it had the most film grain then. :-)

You're talking about Fast Motion, right? 120hz mode that artificially adds and shows more frames on a normal 2D image/video (soap opera effect). Not 3D itself... which, takes 2 pictures (left and right) and have to show both in the same amount of time 2D mode would have taken it to show. I think you're mixing the two.
-
Yes, i think i am mistaken by believing the 120hz is for the fast motion/ soap opera effect that i see in the demos. When i see 120hz on the shops and even on the LG and Samsung websites, they display how good and smooth looking 120hz is compared to the standard 60hz.
You are correct, the 120hz fast motion or soap effect is what i am talking about and i think others who plan to buy this TV are looking for.
What I believe this TV is:
3D mode - 60hz per eye (minimum for all 3d TVs - 120hz is required for a 3D TV to display 3D video in 60hz)
2D mode - 60hz (not fast motion/ no soap opera effect) normal refresh rate
So in 2D mode, 60hz sya, in 3D mode 60hz pa rin ung nadidisplay nya, kasi kailangang 120hz ang 3DTV para ma display nya ng 60hz ang isang 3D video.
This is what I understand of this TVs specs, based on comparing the Devant 3D TV, calling Skyworth 555-1555 and looking at the TV itself.

oh ok, so i guess i if use this for normal/2D PS3 gaming and HD movies i only get 60hz right?

That's right. 60Hz at 2D.
Though the 120HZ trumotion reduces motion blur in action scenes, some people prefer to turn the trumotion off (if option is available) to eliminate the artifact video "soap opera effect" where it makes movie sets look cheap and can make film look like video.
Skyworth's 60HZ is capable enough to manage the fast motion blur. :D

is it true na di puede yung media player na may 3d at xbox? sayang kung di puede, pasok na sana sa budget ko ito..

Skyworth can play 3D thru its built-in USB connectivity. :D
It cannot play 3D with external 3D media player. :(

as far as i know external players directly connected cannot play 3D even plugged to AVR then to Skyworth. But using PS3 with Bluray 3D will work. Same goes for any 3d bd player.
-
Para skin, napaka wlang kwenta nila pag gumawa sila ng 3D TV na hindi gagana pag nag play ka ng 3D Bluray disk from a 3d Blu Ray player, kasi un lang ang legal way dahil ang movie files (avi, mkv etc) ay pirated.
This week, bibili ako ng PS3 at i uupgrade ko ung dashboard ng 360 ko para sa 3D, i will give you feedback on how it will play, hopefully, it will play :-)
-
Just bought a PS3 and testing, testing...
Tried playing Uncharted 3 3D with this TV and its works fine.
Also, i watched Kung Fu Panda 2 3D (Blu Ray 3D disk) using my PS3, and again, it works with this TV.
Thankfully, it works.
Ok, so playing 3D games and watching 3D movies using PS3 via HDMI 1.4 cable works with this TV and like shockHT said, I think a Blu Ray 3D player will also work with this TV.
Hopefully a software upgrade will also enable playing of SbS movies via an external device will make it work.

as per sir vic's reply dito, 120hz on applies to 3d viewing, 60hz lang pag regular 2d use :)

Tanong:
Ano po ang refresh rate (120hz or 60hz) ng TV na ito pag 2D at pag 3D?
Sagot:
Pindutin nyo po ung "Info" button sa remote control habang nanonood kayo ng 2D or 3D.
Makikita nyo po sa upper right corner ang resolution at refresh rate.
Kumento:
Ang TV na po mismo ang ang magpapatunay kung ano ang toong refresh rate nya.
Dito nyo po malalaman kung ano ang totoo at ano po ang kasinungalingan.
Bago nyo po bilhin ang TV na ito ay gawin nyo po muna yan.
Para po sa mga nakabili na, paki sabi lang po dito (kung may screenshot, mas maganda) kung ano ang lumabas para po maliwanagan ung mga bibili pa.

Im planning to buy 3D TV for my PC 3D games...supported kaya ng Tridef DDD ito?
Thanks
-
No. Well... I think it doesn't. Then again, this is my experience with a different but similar set. (tried enabling my laptop's 3D on a 3D TV screen via software... couldn't get it to work)
-
Sir/s
I'm planning to get this TV also and I'm still looking for answers regarding if this TV can accomodate a 1TB HD para di na ako bumili ng seperate Media Player. Has anyone tried it? Thanks in advance.

Sir Vic,
Pa send po ng prices ng 3D LED HD TV.
Thanks!
