Sir,

I followed up your cheque and as per our accounting department, yours will be released on Friday the next week since it was submitted last week Tuesday to them. We're very sorry sir for the inconvenience. I'll just deposit immediately to your account the cheque once I received it.

I just recently bought UA37D5000 to replace my series 3 LCD, bought it for less than 30k in an appliance store in Makati. So far so good naman, and ang layo diff between an LCD and LED tv. The 37" consumes only 100 watts.  Im so spending the long weekend watching HD movies hehehe....

@ sir raider, do you mean 40d5500 (kulang ata ng isa zero hehe)? if yes, I also have the same model as yours. may question lang sana ako regarding mkv. i have a WDTV media player that does NOT play mkv unless you convert the movie using mkvmerge. the problem is, i have to convert each and every MKVs that i have before i watch it on my WD.

good thing, our tv plays MKVs. i plan to connect my external hdd via the usb port, and output the sound from the optical port of the led tv to my receiver. the question is, will I still be able to output true dts/dolby via optical port if the source (hdd) is connected to the usb port of the led tv? baka kasi pro logic lang yung output in case. i haven't connected it yet, kasi medyo maikli yung current optical cable ko. so i wanted to make sure na gagana before i purchase a longer optical cable.

thanks in advance!

Dolby, sa receiver e prologic p din   ??? ???

To maximize Allshare on your Sammy, download and install TVMOBILI on your Mac or PC.  No need for a media player.

 ;D

thanks sir for this, now I'm able to watch my movies on my tv kahit may gumagamit ng mac ko  ;D at mapapahinga ng din yung media player ko hehehe

i don't know kung natanong na before, have not backread the entire thread, tatanong ko lang kung may naka encounter na sa inyo ng problema pag naka network yung tv.

while playing movies sa usb/external hard drive, nababasa nya yung mga movies ko pero pag sa network galing, may error na "unsupported file format" daw. 720p na mkv lang yung sinususubukan kong i-iplay. thanks sa makakakasagot

How was it? I'm planning to buy this weekend. Matindi ba talaga ang backlight bleeding?

If I purchase the UA40D5500 mas ok ba yun? or same lang ang difference lng is smart tv?

They basically are the same, tiningnan ko yung specs e isa pang difference bukod sa Smart tv yung 5500 e yung "Eco Label". Ginoogle ko nga, eto sabi sa Samsung website:

The EU Eco-label 'Flower' helps European consumers to identify quality products that are less harmful to the environment.

What is the EU Eco-label?

Established in 1992, the EU Eco-label 'Flower' is an official certification scheme to help European Consumers to identify quality products that are less harmful to the environment.

All products bearing the 'Flower' have been checked by independent bodies to comply with publicly available third party environmental criteria. These criteria take into account all aspects of the products' environmental impact through production and use to end-of-life.



Hindi naman pala ganun ka-relevant yung Eco label na yun, imho. So I guess it boils down if you prefer smart tv or not. Noong una, sabi ko di naman kelangan smart tv. pero nung nakabili ako, natuwa ako  ;D pwede nang mag FB at youtube sa tv  :D

planning on buying UA40D5000, how much is this on sight and sound? and are there any freebies or just add-in product?. and is there a subtitle settings like changing font, outline and shadow or none at all? what format of subtitles it recognizes? this tv is gonna be used mostly for watching cable tv shows, dvd and downloaded movies/anime [mostly with subtitles].

and i'm also torn on buying samsung UA40D5000 or sony KLV-42EX410, for sony has a bundled Home Theater, though samsung has more hdmi, usb and can play more files..i think..at mas magandang tignan.. this  is oure first time buying LED tv.... need your help..

Hi Guys,

Is this normal? I've purchased a Samsung UA37D5000 and I think I have backlight bleeding? Shall I return this unit and have it replaced, or this is just normal?
