Topic: Recommend: 50" TV for 70%(movies/cable):30%(gaming)

[tonedeaf]

Hi!

I own a Panasonic 42PV70 which is HD-ready. I've decided to upgrade to a full-HD, 50" model.

My criteria is as follows:

1. No preference as to brand so long as it's a major brand - Pana, Samsung, Toshiba, LG. Not Sony or Pioneer as both will surely be outside my budget;
2. No preference whether LED, Plasma or LCD;
3. Definitely not 3D;
4. To be used 70% for movies (blu-rays and DVDs) and cable (non-digital kind) and 30% gaming (PS3);
5. Full HD (1080p);
6. Budget: 50K or below.

So far, it looks like the only models which will fit my budget (but not necessarily the other criteria) are:

1. LG PK550, plasma, 37K (tama ba?), but it appears to be fast disappearing from SM's shelves;
2. Samsung PS51D450, plasma, 40K, 720p;
3. Panasonic TH-P50X30, plasma, 45K, 720p.
4. I'm waiving 3rd requirement aboveand adding the LG PW350, 55K @Abenson's.

I'd appreciate recommendations    Thanks!

hi sir, the model you mentioned are not fullhd, you can wait for the panny 50u30 to be available here but im

worried the u30 will have a higher price or you can find the 50u20 witch i think will be a good price since the

new model will come.. on my part i decided to get 46u20 than to wait for the new model, price wise and the

u20 already have a good review

thanks for the reply My_einjels. You're right, mostly 720p lang ang papasok sa budget ko.

So, if I push through with my plan, my upgrade will only be from HD-ready to 720p. Di pa 1080p

Yung Full HD dyan sir is the LG 50PK550 but best of luck in finding one. Since it's almost impossible to buy a new one, then i'd go with the PS51D450. That extra 1" still has an advantage.

@ gamextremephils brother, they have a store at gloriett3 , greehills and 168mall, i scored it at 36k, but upon   checking his sulit account he slash another 1k so for the price of 35k bucks, men that's really a bung for the buck, and i enjoying mine right now... look for mr ankur and he will give you the best deal, and he is a nice seller too...

The Samsung and Pana are looking better and better, for lack of any other viable choices.

i got a quote earlier at ansons emporium makati.. 45K for the 50PW350 + (2) glasses + wall bracket + Hdmi + 1.5K Ansons GC.. a lot of savings compared to the 55K abenson quote..
