i saw the 51F5000 in Abenson earlier, unfortunately the demo they were showing was just SD quality and quite grainy so i was not able to gauge if it is worth ditching my 5 year old Panasonic PV8 for that one ... it seems to be very basic, full HD but no 3D and Smart TV features ... price though was quite impressive - 47k+ less 5k for cash and a free 28-inch Samsung LED F4000 model which sells for more than 12k

any feedback on the 51F5500? what's the difference with the F5000 series? and what is the price?

F5500 is Full HD + 3D, F5000 is Full HD only. the 51F5500 is 65+k/ 12 months. I'm waiting for SnS's reply for their cash price of the 51F5500.

did some research and found that the F5500 will come in 51, 60, and 64 inch sizes. but I think our market will only get the 51 inch model.  :-\

that's a big difference on pricing, the panels must be of different quality - with the 5k discount on the F5000 and free 28-inch LED TV, it's just like buying it at less than 35k

I got to see the Samsung 51F5000 on display at Abensons Greenbelt. it was beside the F4900, F4500, and F4500 models. the 51F5000 had the best PQ of the group.  ;)

the 51F5500 has Cinema Smooth, Smart TV 2.0, Dual-Core CPU, 3D, and built-in WiFi. the Cinema Smooth feature alone might me enough reason to choose the F5500 over the F5000.  ::) :P

although i'm not into 3D, the Cinema Smooth and 3D feature makes me believe that the F5500 is using a different panel (higher end) than the F5000

Just opened my replacement ps51e550. Claimed warranty from samsung for a unit i bought last april. After turning it on, all i hear is a buzzing sound. No picture. I hear the beeping sound when you choose options but no picture, just a loud continous buzz.

What's broken? (Again)

I wonder if the extra features are worth the P20k price difference?

For a few days now, my 51E550 has been rebooting 3 or 4 times every time I turn it on (mamamatay, then mag o-on by itself). And after those 3 or 4 times, okay na siya until I turn it off and turn it on again the next time. And most of the time it reboots every 4 minutes and 50 seconds. Kaya lang hindi all the time (maybe 90%). I don't know if that means anything. Oh, and it happens regardless of source (cable or HDMI).

Anybody experienced this or know what it might be about? Right now it's just annoying more than anything. I suppose if it's all it does I can live with it. I'm just worried that it might get worse. I got this early 2013 so out of warranty na yata.

For me, that would not just be annoying, that would be unacceptable.

I used to have that model.  It's a good TV.  Sana maayos pa.

Try a factory reset. 

If that doesn't work, try a firmware update.

I don't mind so much because after 3 or 4 times, it stops. I usually leave the TV on all day or all night so I can quickly forget about it. But if it can be fixed so much the better.

But I'll try a firmware update. Where can I get one? Is this one okay?

Same country dapat sir. 

Dapat firmware for Philippine series kung Philippines ang model mo:

But firmware flashing should be a last resort. 

I recommend trying sir skooter's power receptacle suggestion first.  Parang mas tama yung kanya.

Thanks skooter for the suggestion. I checked my power cable. Parang okay naman siya. Still, I removed it and reseated it. And it worked! No rebooting for a day. Then the day after that it started doing it again. :( I even tried using another cable that I got from my computer. May I know if you did anything special to your cable? And hindi na ba bumalik yung problema sa TV mo?

i just bought another power cable and make it sure the receptacle is super tight not able to dance around..well about my experience the tv had some funny cracking noise at the back besides the intermittent power.
