the point is kung may diperensya man ang replacement hindi rin naman yata pwedeng hindi tanggapin e.

problem is the delivery boys have to wait for you to check the TV first before they can go which is usually not possible since nakapila idedeliver nila.

when they delivered the replacement unit sa akin last year. They were the ones who unboxed it and assembled my unit. We actually tested the unit to check na no more dead pixel.

Oh well, maybe you could call abensons again and report it again. Hassle lang talaga and nakaka-stress din kung iisipin.

Don't know. Frankly i do not want to anymore, hassle e. need ko pa magabsent sa work yesterday to receive the item, tapos ganun ulit.

It's not a big issue but still an issue. have not reported to avant trinoma yet, cause I am thinking what to do
Why don't you just go to avant then dun mo itest if may dead pixel ? Atleast kung duon pa lang meron na problem you can request kagad for a replacement, if okay na yung unit and perfect screen dun mo lang ipa deliver.  If this does not bother you then wag ka na magpalit.

Avant is asking me if I am open for replacement of other kind and brand. I really like plasma now (first-time plasma owner) and I can't imagine going back to LED/LCD Tvs again.

I can live with one dead pixel than screen uniformity problems prevalent in other types because of the nature of their lighting.

BTW, where can we buy M8 size screws? I checked out ACE and they don't have M8s. They do have 5/16 which is 8mm as per conversion table but I tried and they don't fit with the holes of the H5000 at the back.

I plan to secure the TV to the TV rack (wood) via string/cable so it wont drop screen side down. Wall mounting is impossible in my case

Specialty hardware store dapat.

Ang naririnig ko, yung To Suy sa Manila.  Yon lang dati ang screw strore, pero may mga iba na ngayon, yung Y2K Screw, Screwmaster, King of Screws, etc.  Google mo na lang, baka may address and phone.

I updated my tv's fw to version 1015 from 1008. Some functionalities that were disabled before (grayed out) are functional now. :)

Thank you Mr. Barrister for your assistance over PMs. Finally brought home this unit, factory sealed, we just tried it out at the store. Unfortunately, it did not recognize my phone, so just checked the picture quality, didn't notice any dead pix.
Haven't installed it yet since requested Samsung tech to do it for me tomorrow, bought a HDMI and do the testing in front of them. Will keep you posted, thanks again...

Updated my H5000 too to version 1015...
So far haven't seen any difference, hehe.
But thanks for sharing Quitacet ;)



And after more than 100 hours of more than 12-hour per day playback of burn-in slideshow images almost non-existent na ang IR when watching cable TV with channel logo :)

Safe pa rin ba bumili ng model na ito kung marami-rami na  nagreturn for dead pixels?

well in my case, okay na na may isang dead pixel.

I'd rather have this than screen uniformity ng LCD/LED because of lighting.

Plus if you see the black levels in a dark room, mapapawow ka. 

Kaya kahit inooferran nila ako ng isang LG LED na higher price (3K more) na wala akong idadagdag kahit singko, di ko pinapalitan. Critical na nga lang daw ang stocks.

Kung ako sa inyo, bumili na kayo, machecheck nyo naman sa store yung running time at kung may dead pixel e.

1. there is no control on the tv, so if i lose the remote or it breaks down,i'm dead (haven't read manual yet)
2. Watching regular tv isn't as nice as my previous pan but HD is a lot better
3. even if i zoom, there are still images, so i guess will have to do with it
4. when i play dvd, its not as clear as my panny, maybe due to 1080p, this means i  have to use an external drive instead.
5. cord is too short had to use extension.


I will reply to Barrister outside PM for others to benefit also from my initial concerns

I went to Samsung Bonaventure to make a dp for another remote, as said over the phone, but they had one in stock so I got it already, 325.00, you can order same model, 3 days from warehouse initially.

yes, I will have to agree, it's not fair to compare the 42 panny with this 51 sammy, but i am still adjusting since am slowly making adjustments while breaking it in, so so break in lang. Heavy heart delivering the panny to my brother last Sunday but it made him happy, so ending, everybody happy...

concerning the logos, almost all channels have it already, so i just change channels often so as not to have that IR, am more concerned and pleased that there are no dead pixels

as for the DVD, hahaha, the video out wasn't plugged in properly, tightly, that was why i was so dismayed at first, all's good now, hooked up active speakers already, slowly enjoying it (pics adjustments nalang)

as for the power cord/cable, it is really too short, but nothing else to do.

thank you again Barrister for your time, really appreciate it. my offer still stands, coffee or some drinks on me,  i don't have an idea of your location, but if ever you'll be in San Juan area, PM me, so we can exchange mobile, thanks again

I will follow Louie and Quitacet to update next week, thanks also for the file.

Oo nga, hindi maiiwasan yung mga logo ng channels especially pag naka cignal hd ka. Bawat corner ng screen may logo. Hahaha tama din naman. You can always check for dead pixels naman.

Me naka experience na ba sa H5000 nyo ng Pink/Magenta Noise (Not sure kung eto nga tamang tawag)?
kung saan ay me lumalabas na pink noise occasionally sa very bright  area like clouds.. Sa MOVIE setting ko lang na encounter to pero sa STANDARD wala naman.

No, hindi pink noise ang tawag don.  Pink noise is sound, not picture.

Every octave on pink noise has the same amount of energy.  Sound engineers use it as a reference signal.  That's the test tone generated by AV Receivers for calibration.

Baka pink discoloration?  Parang ganito:

Tama nga po pink discoloration  nga yung na encounter ko during very bright scene pag MOVIE setting. pero pag STANDARD setting wala naman.

Napansin ko din na sa HD channel ko lang eto na encounter, pag sa SD wala naman kahit anong setting.

i will have to agree with you on your statement, even i was amazed with the black levels of this unit. at this point, colors are close to perfect, for my viewing, although it may need just a little more adjustments in the long run.

it's a good feeling to realize that i made this purchase, at the right time, after checking the MRT, am sure this is a bnew unit and reading back that units are already unavailable, i just hope that it lasts without any issues until my next.

Good thing you bought it immediately.
 
The casual buyer would wait until December para masaya ang pasko...  Ubos na yan by December.

As for myself, I'll hold on to my plasma until a reasonably-priced OLED comes out in maybe 5 years.
