Will review this unit, as soon as time permits. The new 5 series LCD from Samsung, however, seems interesting to me.

Kabibili ko lang nito last sat, "for me" saktong sakto lang yung 100Hz compared sa 55" LED namin na 120Hz. Para kasi sakin di na mukhang movie yung 120Hz para syang kuha sa HD handy cam hehehe.

Saw this one sa Automatic Centre:

It was playing the stock Samsung demo reel.

Tried to observe it in that reel and cross compared it against the LG 42LE7500 which was playing a cartoon movie.

The LG Infinia still looked way better in terms of color, brightness and fluidity.

Though that's just 1 mode and I'm not a real pro at comparing TV's, I just did not get any "wow impressive" feel looking at this Samsung model. Though I would agree that at 42K php, it's bang for the buck!

Better wait for Carlos777 review. :-)

Wireless LAN is for your TV to access all share and internetTV content.You need to connect this LAN on the usb located at the back of your TV. With the connection, you can do:

1.  All Share: You activate wifi to allow communication between your TV with other equipment, like laptop, digital camera, etc. This enables you to play equipment wireless thru wifi.

2. Internet TV: You configure, like setting IP address, password, etc. to communicate your TV with your router. When connected with the internet, you can access Internet TV contents.

Wireless LAN is compatible for all 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 series.

You can install a retractable bracket for your 40D5000. A retractable bracket Sanus brand is P18K.  :D

Good PM Sir Vic! We purchased a Samsung LCD TV (LA40C530) from you last January. Now that you have the UA40D5000 model, can we return the previous purchase and upgrade it to UA40D5000? If yes then how much are we going to add? I really hope its possible 'cause my father really like it.

Review after two weeks of having the unit. Here goes my first try on reviewing a set.

40" LED edge lit 1080p FullHD LCD tv.



Performance of the tv :

Cable : - I found the cable auto-tuning quite a challenge. Took me an hour or two of manual programming for all the proper channels to be in their place.  The quality on the tv is nothing spectacular but mind you, I don't have the Skycable digibox so the reception is not that good but decent. Some channels have really good reception and some just so-so. Audio quality from the tv speakers are ok, with enough volume to fill the bedroom.




PS3: - No input lag. Played COD: Black Ops to test for any iput lag or blurring when playing FPS games. Performance is superb and colors are vibrant. After playing for more than three hours, there's no eyestrain provided the blacklight level is adjusted from the Torch setting of 20 to a manageable level of 10-12.



Blu-ray: - I used my ps3 as a blu-ray player and connected it by an hdmi cable. Played flight of the phoenix, dr. no, for your eyes only and top gun. No complaints really. Very satisfied with the picture quality and the audio quality is okay if the tv speakers are used with decent volume though i prefer to use the HT speakers I have to have the oomph and clarity that i'm used to.

HTPC: - No problem setting it up. Just connect the HDMI to the laptop or pc. Just adjust the overscan or underscan for the perfect fit. Text and graphics are sharp and clear. Color is superb and vibrant.



USB: - pretty much plays most common files. If file won't play, then use the allshare feature or use the hdmi to connect your laptop or pc.



Other Features: - AllShare. You need to download the program from the official Samsung website. Either you connect the tv to the pc either by wired lan cable to your router or buy the wireless lan usb adapter. You can actually use the PS3 media server instead of the AllShare program. I use the PS3 media server to decode the movies and stream it to the tv (even if the ps3 is not on, the tv will detect the ps3 media server).



Pros:-

- 100Hz refresh rate. No input lag observed in FPS.
- Ultra Clear Panel. Very wide viewing angle
- Full HD 1080p
- LED edge lit
- Lots of connectivity options. 4 HDMI, 2 usbs, headphone jack, etc.
- Aesthetics. very good / sleek looking unit.


Cons:-

- Channel programming can be quite a task.
- Reflective panel (only if your room is overly bright or near a window).
- CE Dimming. The auto dimming can disrupt movie viewing at times especially if the scene comes from bright then to black then to bright. But you get used to it and i don't mind the auto dimming feature
already. As far as I know the feature can't be turned off from the menu that is accessible to us.


Notes: - Don't have a DVD player so i can't really say performance of the tv unless streaming a DVD file / quality movie to the tv counts. In which i tried it and the quality is okay but as they say once you go HD you never go back.

Also, took photos with my 4 year old sony point and shoot camera. quality of the picture is not that great please bear with me. :D

LCD panels will ALWAYS have backlight bleeding. It is a QUESTION whether the bleeding is noticeable / disturbing enough that your viewing pleasure is interrupted. Blacks will never be that black unless large OLED screens become widely available and affordable. What you want is uniformity - no clouding or flashlighting on your panel that distracts you from watching something. Properly calibrate your screens to get the optimal picture quality of your set.

my samsung 40D5000 pag naka picture mode: using (natural) ng flicker yung screen sandali when dark scene or switch screen. like playing xbox pag play ko ng cd loading mg black sandali yung screen then mg flicker na sya 5sec . also when using laptop HDMI. or watching movie pag mi dark scene. i tested our LCD samsung no flicker issues and our plasma Panasonic no flickering issue. tested different hdmi cable same thing.

1st bout mi dead pixel pinapait ko i never notice yung flickering issues sa 1st unit ko. so pinalitan ni sight and sounds agad yung dead pixel 2nd unit when im back home testing no dead pixel but i notice some flickering issues when using natural mode. my 1st unit parang walang ganun prob. then bumalik ako sa store pinalit nila 3rd unit same problem mi flicker issue parin. sabi ng sales man normal lang daw yun?

We don't allow return of TV unless the TV was found defective after 30 days purchased or is found defective beyond repair.

We do, however, offer trade-in. Your 40C530 has a trade-in value of P24500. Since a new 40D5000 is 42K, you need to add P17500. to trade-in your 40C530 to a 40D5000.  :D
