hi mga sir,

planning to buy this model UA37D5000 by january, mura na kasi for a 37" led tv. (upgrading from 32" lcd tv.)
karamihan/madalas po ba ng unit may back light bleeding po ba?
hassle kasi kung mag ka problema pag dating sa bahay e taga Rizal pa ako.
Ganda pa naman ng warranty 2 years.
maganda sana kapag nabili mo na yung tv tapos home service nalang kapag nag ka problema yung unit. hassle kasi laking tv nito bigat pa tapos isasakay ko sa jeep or fx taga bundok pa ako. nyahaha

Just bought UA37d5000 last November and i think i got a good one because i had no problem with my unit as well as the backlight bleeding issue except for the free dvd player that arrived after a month...i think the backlight bleeding is just an isolated case...hope this will help you decide..

planning to get this one as well tomorrow at SnS. it will mostly be used for watching movies from USB/portable HDD, cable TV and most importantly for magic sing. hehe.

isama ko sa notes ko yun pagcheck ng backlight bleeding/clouding at dead pixels.

may questions lang ako. pasensya na kayo at newbie sa pagbili ng led tv:
1. kelangan ba talaga may home theatre na kasama? or enough naman yun built-in sound nya sa tv mismo?
2. hindi ba mahirap makasagap ng channels yun 40D5000? cablelink ang provider namin.
3. may nakasubok na ba mag connect ng magic sing dito? yun lumang magic sing kasi ang meron kami. parang first edition pa yata yun. antigo na hehe.
4. sa mga bumili sa SnS, tinetesting ba yun TV dun bago nyo iuwi?

^oo nga e. sana pwede. kasi ang hirap nga naman pag sa bahay mo pa nalaman na may issue pala yun unit na napunta sa iyo. parang yun nangyari kay sir oznola.

ang hassle ibalik sa store.

sana may makasagot nun ibang tanong ko. first time ko kasi bibili e hehe. para maganda na ang tv sa bahay pagpasok ng new year.

pano pala malaman backlight bleeding.

6odysseus9 · « **Reply #187 on:** Dec 29, 2011 at 05:41 PM »

Patulong naman po. I have a Samsung UA37D5000. I tried connecting my Wii (using the standard composite cable) to the TV using the adaptor that came with it. Kaso walang lumalabas sa screen. Just an alert message asking me to check the cable, power, source selection, etc. I thought baka dahil composite cable lang ang gamit ng Wii, so I bought a component cable. Again, I connected the two devices using the adaptor that came with the TV. Pero wala pa rin. Same message lang ang lumalabad. I tried to connect the Wii to another TV (Sharp Aquos na 3 yrs old na). Ok naman. Ang pagkakaiba lang, the Sharp LCD has both composite and component inputs, unlike this Samsung which needs a proprietary adapter. I already tried googling for possible solutions, pero wala talaga akong mahanap.

Any suggestion?

google mo "backlight bleeding", may makikita kang sample pics ng mga yun. ganun lang ginawa ko.

calling all D5000 owners, need help pls.

i went to an appliance store kanina tapos sabi nun salesman, ang mga nagiging complaint daw ng mga customer sa samsung ay:

1. mahirap daw iprogram yun mga channels. kelangan pa daw magpatawag ng tiga samsung para ayusin tapos may bayad daw yun. tapos pag may napindot ka lang sa remote, pwedeng mabalik sa lumang settings yun inayos.

2. pag daw nanonood ng local channels, yun mga tao daw e parang punggok or sobrang stretch.

3. by 2015 daw, wala nang analog so kelangan daw bumili ng digibox para ikabit sa mga LED/LCD tvs na hindi nagssupport ng digital. (ang sabi nya devant pa lang daw ang nagssupport ng digital. wala pa daw ang Samsung)

na-bother ako. how true yan mga sinabi nya na yan sa kin?

i suggest you backread and use some common sense(no offense).
anong store naman kaya ang di pwede mag test ng lcd/led/plasma and bakit ka bibili dun kung ayaw nila magtesting. your other questions are really irrelevant otherwise wala nang bibili ng samsung.

i think all brands have their own way of implementing their tuning, just make sure you read the manual and everything will be ok.

2. pag daw nanonood ng local channels, yun mga tao daw e parang punggok or sobrang stretch.

best way to find out is for you to audition, ikaw ang manonood hindi yung salesman, if the pq is ok with you then nothing should stop you from buying the set you want.

3. by 2015 daw, wala nang analog so kelangan daw bumili ng digibox para ikabit sa mga LED/LCD tvs na hindi nagssupport ng digital. (ang sabi nya devant pa lang daw ang nagssupport ng digital. wala pa daw ang Samsung)

although this is the timetable being presented by the government for us to shift to digital tv. we are not even sure if this will be possible, even for the u.s. they have gone through several time extensions before it was fully implemented, and even when its already implemented, the old standard definition is still being broadcasted.

another issue for us is we have not really decided on what kind of digital broadcast are we going to implement. the government is leaning towards dvb but the networks (gma and abs is lobbying the government for other standards as well), remember by deciding on a standard, a whole range of equipment/s have to be changed (camera, broadcast equipment etc), so its a big deal from the perspective of the networks on which standard should be implemented.

in the u.s., they are using the atsc standard, the evolution of the old ntsc standard (which we are currently using). so dont worry much about it, and as the other member stated, there will be a box to tide us through, so that our sets now can still enjoy digital broadcast once its here and available.

btw, the salesman is only partially right, not sure what kind of tuner the devant is using, but i will assume its atsc, so if in the event the government chooses the dvb standard, wala din kwenta yung devant, and it will have to use a box to get the signal as well.

i really hate these salesmen na does not provide all info.

buy the set you want and enjoy it. it would be a shame for you to wait until 2015 before you decide to buy a flat panel. sayang ang big screen great pq viewing

na-bother ako. how true yan mga sinabi nya na yan sa kin?

jlaw, FYI nagbackread po ako mula page 1 kaya ko nga nalaman yun case ni sir oznola sa nabili nyang D5000 at sa bahay na nya nakita ang defect. kung irrelevant para sa u ang mga tanong ko, sinabi ko naman na newbie ako at first time ko bibili ng led tv di ba. hindi mo ba naintindihan yun? sana di ka na lang sumagot tutal feeling expert ka pala and besides di naman nakatulong ang sagot mo.

@iiinas, thank you so much sir for enlightening me and answering my questions in detail!

i'm going to SnS later. try ko na rin itanong kung pwedeng sila na mag tune para makita ko na rin kung ano yun sinasabi nun salesman na kausap ko regarding item 2. sabi naman nun isang natanong ko, kaya daw nagiging ganun e dahil ang local channel 400x300 while yun led tv e 1080. kung 32" daw di masyado halata pero pag 40" baka yun nga, dun lumabas yun pagka obvious nya. need lang daw ng digibox. hmmm..

for item 3, yun tinuturo nung salesman na devant sa kin, may tag na "first digital tv in the ph" daw. tapos ang ka level daw nun e yun series 6 ng samsung in terms of specs pero bukod tangi yun lang daw devant ang digital tv so di na daw need ng digibox nun if ever. yun mga sony, samsung, etc wala pa daw digital tv series na nilalabas.

ayoko naman ng devant or other brands so i'm sticking to samsung and this particular model.

again, thank you @iiinas!

anyway, para dun sa mga ibang newbie na same ng tanong ko regarding home theater, sabi nun salesman na natanong ko, mahina daw ang magiging sound pag tv lang so ok lang sya kung manonood ka lang ng local chanels ganun. pero kung ang balak e mag videoke (or watch heavily ng mga movies, play games), mas ok daw na may home theater para mas malakas yun sound.

oznola · « **Reply #193 on:** Dec 30, 2011 at 09:06 AM »

newbie320, nabasa mo yung sa post ko. mahirap makita yung bleeding pag medyo well lit ang area kung saan mo i-test. kaya nga ako,yung unang unit,pag uwi ko na lang nakita.same with the 2nd unit kasi sa store,parang wala talaga pero nung naiuwi ko na,ayun meron pa rin. and with the 2nd unit i was kinda confident na wala na sigurong issue kaso meron pa din.

pag isipan mo na lang maigi kung gusto mo pa din ng same model or kung gusto mo pa din mag LED. backlight lang pagkakaiba nyan sa LCD. ako masaya na sa LCD kasi tama lang ang lighting sa dimmed room unlike LED na nung una medyo masakit sa mata pero pwede naman i-adjust ang settings to your liking.

basta,pag isipan mo maigi kasi prone talaga ang LED TV's sa bleeding. iilan lang ang mga members dito na may ganitong model.iilan lang din ang may alam ng backlight bleeding sa ilang libong bumili ng ganitong TV. yung iba,oblivious sa issue.which is good for them i guess. and yung iba nasa well lit rooms so di talaga mapapansin na.

sa SnS,pwede nila patayin yung ilaw while you check it.pero mahirap pa din kasi yung ilaw from the other TV's on display e nakaka distract din. set mo na lang siguro yung viewing mode. i forget setting na yun. basta yung picture size select mo yung smartview ata. yung nasa center lang ang picture na maliit then black na lahat sa paligid.from there makikita mo yung corners.

tsaka yung pag nag switch over yung menu screen nang channels list back to TV.may parang 2 seconds na mag black screen sya.dun makikita mo din kung meron. pero you have to click it mabilis para mag black screen ulit agad.

yung pag set ng channels madali lang naman.autochannel lang ginawa ko then move na lang yung mga channels.basta,madali lang yan.

yung pagiging punggok naman na sinasabi,normal TV is viewed kasi 4:3. may ganyan namang picture size setting yung TV pero makakasanayan naman manood sa 16:9. di naman ganun kapangit or sobrang stretched.

wag ka muna mag isip tungkol sa mga new technology.matagal pa yan bago dumating sa atin.ang laki ng ipupuhunan ng mga local providers to switch over. hindi nila agad agad magagawa yun at hindi feasible sa ngayon o anytime soon ang ganung technology sa atin.

good luck.kung decided ka pa din sa same model na yan,i hope you get a clean one.

newbie is not an excuse not to use your head. simple lang naman yung sinabi ko, yun kasi ang main concern mo based on your line of questioning and hindi barometer ang isang negative feedback ni oznola to judge samsung. give or take na may isa dalawa or even one hundred, e hundred of thousands na ang naibenta kaya ng samsung. it all boils down to testing your unit and if ever nagkaproblem as oznola will attest may pumupunta from samsung to either replace it or have it repaired. i understand your OA concerns and hindi ko maintindihan sayo e sa dami ng concern mo e nagtanong ka at inaassume mo na di pwede mag test ng lcd/led/plasma in any of those stores pag bibili ka. ikaw ang customer, it is your right bibili ka man o hindi!@. kahit grade 1 e di na kailangang imemorize yan! with that in mind, i don't think you deserve any of my attention.

newbie320 · « **Reply #196 on:** Dec 30, 2011 at 10:05 PM »

@vegeranomv, ni-check ko sa website ng samsung yun specs ng gusto mo. yes, pwede daw yan mag play ng movies from USB.

@oznola, thanks! nakabili na ko kanina along with home theater.

natesting ko na rin sya. medyo nadadagdagan na ang kaalaman ko.

ni auto tuning ko muna. excited makasagap ng channel e. nagkagulo gulo nga ang channel. sabi nun nag assist sa kin kanina, mas ok pa daw na i-manual tuning na lang kasi kelangan match yun numbers. bukas ko na lang aayusin yun ni-auto tune ko. usisain ko muna maigi ang manual.

medyo malabo nga lang ang mga channels. di pa kasi maayos yun pagkakakabit ng cable antenna e. kaya parang maulan tuloy lahat ng channel. bukas na lang ayusin. sana luminaw sya.

dead pixels - wala naman so far

backlight bleeding - nag try ako manood ng movies from my portable HD, kaso puro .avi lang ang meron ako. medyo may blurring (dunno kung yan ang tamang term) sa mga letters/characters pero siguro dahil yun sa pagkakarecord/format/save mismo ng movies. try ko .mkv at magplay ng DVD mismo bukas if may pagbabago sa picture quality. nitry ko rin off ang mga ilaw kanina. may movie kasi ako na may black area yun taas at babang part (sorry ulit, di ko alam ano tawag dun. basta yun hindi nya sakop ang buong screen, hehe) tapos may suspetsa akong konting backlight bleeding sa upper left and right pero di naman sobra. sa ibang madilim na movie naman e wala sya at saka pag naglilipat ako ng channel (as per your suggestion), wala din naman sya so baka sa pagkakaformat ng movie lang ulit sya kaya ganun. pero try ko pa rin ulit bukas.

ang napansin ko lang na major issue so far e nun kinabit ko yun magic sing. medyo delay ng mga 1-2 seconds yun labas ng boses dun sa Home theater na speakers. yun music ok naman. bukod tangi yun boses ang nahuhuli e di naman late yun timing nung kumakanta. sa Sound settings nya, may nakita akong option na idelay yun sound pero naka 0 naman sya.

try ko na lang itroubleshoot bukas.

Question po sa mga owners ng samsung UA40D5000, nagtry po kasi ako manood ng blu ray movie (star trek) using ps3. napansin ko kasi parang hindi sya yung kagaya ng ibang tv na nakita ko na nakaangat yung ibang tao na parang 3d yung dating tapos sobrang linaw.

Para naging hi-def dvd lang kasi yung dating nung BD movie nung pinanood ko eh. meron po ba setting or feature itong tv na ito para ma-achieve ko yun?

salamat po sa sasagot.
