hmmmmnn... you're really making me rethink my choice for a tv set here, hahah!
currently, i am now looking for a good 40' plasma as heat should not be a problem here (in baguio) and we use our tv for 1 movie and then turn it off immediately anyway so we're not expecting a big spike in electric bill as well.
may suggestion ka ba bro?
tama, sakto! yan ang napansin ko yung diagonal lines kitang kita yung jaggies. sa 1080p plasma kaya wala na yun? i don't care kung 6 feet away or 50 feet away ako manuod ng tv, hindi ako matatahimik kung aware ako na hindi ganun kaganda yung PQ ng tv ko which i spent so much on.
any suggestions?
Ilang feet/meters ba above sea level ang Baguio? I read plasmas are not good for high altitudes. read:

Why do plasma TVs have problems at high altitude, and how are they affected?
High altitude pressure affects *all* plasma televisions because thin air stresses the natural gases (argon, neon, and xenon ) inside the televisions' glass envelopes. During stress, thin air pressure affects the gases that surround the envelopes (N2 and O2) and creates an imbalance from enveloped pressure increases and surrounding pressure decreases.
Before plasma TV's leave the factory, they're calibrated to adjust to this stress at sea level. Depending on your area, that calibration varies. Should you move and transport your plasma TV just a minimum of 500 feet above that calibration, you could notice a significant difference in quality.
You won't notice a visual difference - you'll notice that the television's fans or cooling system runs more frequently and louder instead - all in an effort to keep the TV's display element at a safe temperature. This of course places additional strain on the unit's motors and even through regular use; the strain decreases the unit's longevity. A plasma TV's average lifespan is 12-17 years, and that's at a 4-6 hour a day usage rate.
The best way to determine whether a plasma TV is appropriate for your home is to view it at the same level in which it will be used *prior* to purchasing one. Most plasma TV's function fine under 5500 feet and anything over that could present a problem. That is unless you're viewing a high-altitude plasma TV from Pioneer.
pero siguro naman Baguio's altitude won't make a significant effect on the TV.
