Nakaka-tempt lang yung Samsung 51E550 at yung Samsung 51E8000, pag-nakita mo sa mall......


 
 
Mas maganda sana ang Sammy E8000 sa E550.

Ang Panny this year, yung mid-end panel pareho lang ng highest-end panel.  Same panels for UT50, ST50, GT50, VT50. 
 
Pero ang Sammy iba ang panel for E550 and E8000.  Mas high-end ang panel for E8000.
 
Kaya lang E550 na binili ko, kasi hindi ko talaga magustuhan ang pedestal stand ng E8000.  Parang paa ng manok ...  :D   Medyo cool pa siguro ngayon for some people yung spider feet, pero in a few years, palagay ko malalaos agad ang ganong style.

Konting antay lang at mag price-drop din yan.....sa 40T level....

As of now yes willing to wait since wala pa yung paglalagyan na room. hahaha... Ang risk, baka maout of stock.

Iyon lang nga, baka ma-out of stock.

Pero unless 85 years old ka na, na every day is a bonus, worth it pa rin mag antay ng price drop.

For example, yung LG 55LM7600, last year, yung price nun is Php229,000. Ngayon, makakabili ka na ng LG 55LM7600 at around Php89,000. Kaya, mainis ka lang kung bumili ka last year at Php229,000, kasi Php89,000 na lang yung presyo ngayon.

i used to sell samsung products before.. from experience, even if new models come out, prices of old ones dont drastically drop, new models are just priced slightly higher.

though there are instances naman wherein new models are priced lower. i used to own a 2011 model samsung 46 inch led smart tv (series 5). srp was 89.9K, and was able to get it at 52K. this year's new model is cheaper, pero has fewer hdmi's, and ang kapal na, konti na lang parang lcd na rin.

coming from an srp of 74.9K, the ps51e500 being sold now at 49K is already a good buy. at this price point, mahirap siyang talunin considering its size, pq, and all its features  :D

Yung 3D glasses ba ng 51E550 at 51E8000 naka-link sa TV through infra-red or blue tooth?

Tnx.

backread lang sir


 :D  Friends naman ang Sammy and Panny, so walang sabotage diyan sir.  Kung Apple ang gumawa ng battery, baka magduda pa ko, baka pumutok yung battery habang suot ko yung 3D glasses ...  ;D   
 
   
That's right.  This TV does not have an IR sensor for 3D glasses, so the old Sammy IR 3D glasses will not be compatible and will not work.
 
Wala talagang kuwenta ang IR glasses, laos na.  Sa IR, madalas maputol ang active 3D synchronization.  Pag nasa side ng TV, putol; pag medyo malayo sa TV, putol; pag may taong naglalakad at tumawid sa harap ng TV, putol na naman.  IR glasses are for Fred Flintstone; BT glasses are for George Jetson...  ;)

Kung 85 years old ka na, wag ka na ring mag intay ng price drop.  Ang labo na naman ng mata mo e, bili ka na lang ng cheap 32 LCD, lalo ka pang nakatipid ...   :D

Hahahaha... nakakatuwa naman kung saan na umabot yung price drop. :) Actually very tempting na talaga kumuha kaso ang kalaban ko ay wala pa talagang paglalagyan. Hopefully come new year if all things fall in place, ok na yung room at okay na rin yung price at may stock pa. Huwag lang mag fall in RIP... hehehehe.

I've finally found an easier way to use this TV's web browser.
 
If you have a Sammy Galaxy S III phone, the TV remote on Samsung's AllShare Control (free Android app) will work well on your 51E550 TV.
 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.allShareControl&feature=search_result&hl=en
 
For internet browsing, forget about the original TV remote --- very difficult to use the keyboard and pointer via the TV remote. 
 
On my old Samsung S Advance phone, the free Samsung TV remote app worked OK, but the touchpad was still hard to use because the pointer responded too slowly.
 
On my Samsung S III phone, the Samsung TV remote app does not work, but the AllShare Control app's TV remote does.
 
On the AllShare Control app, the touchpad works very well.  It's now easy to control the web browser's pointer.  The keyboard is also very convenient to use since the text appears on the phone's screen as you type, so you don't have to constantly check the TV screen to see if you typed correctly.

Sir Barrister,
Thanks... hehehe I see your point regarding rechargeable  batteries. Hindi ba na sabotage ng PANASONIC batteries yung 3D glassess ng SAMSUNG? :)

LOL. I found that a little funny. :) These companies often cross-source parts from each other.

Most Panasonic TVs sold during the 90s had Samsung picture tubes.

I saw the 51E550 in action in SM Mega yesterday.  back to back with the E450 model. I happen to notice that the heat it generates and dissipates is quite substantial. As in it is in a good aircon area and yet you feel te heat when you are about 2 feet away.

Plasmas can generate quite some heat when displaying bright images (and when cranked up to showroom levels of intensity). It's acceptable in most situations, as nobody would be viewing from such a close distance anyway.

Older plasmas dissipated far more heat than these current models.

Nakita ko rin yon sa MOA sir.  And yes, mainit nga.
 
I saw that in July 2012, so I asked sir riven319 about it:

 
Please tell us about the operating temperature.  Does it run very hot?  Does it have an internal cooling fan?

I ask because the display model I saw at SM MOA was very hot to the touch, and it did not seem to have any cooling fans.

 
Sir riven replied that it actually runs cool:
 
Sorry for the late reply sir barrister.  I find it actually cool (at least to my standards)...  maybe a little cooler than my D550.  I don't think it to be an issue though...  I have an LG plasma that is very hot to touch and yet is still working til now.  The E550 doesn't have any fans (one of the factors I considered in purchasing as I did not want any extra noise in case a fan goes kaput)

 
So I mentioned that in my review:
 
Known Issues/Potential Issues:
 
Temperature is OK.  I was worried because it doesn't have cooling fans, and I saw this model running hot at SM MOA.  That unit was not properly ventilated, and of course, it was running in torch mode.  But it really runs cool as long as there's proper ventilation.  No problems in an airconditioned room; no problems without air con if there's proper ventialtion. 


 
==========================================
 

 
I agree that it does in fact run cooler than the older plasmas. 
 
On older plasmas, only the 720p models can be built without cooling fans.  Full HD models naturally run hotter, so if the plasma TV is a Full HD model, you can be sure that it has cooling fans built in.
 
Me, I avoided 1080p plasmas because I avoid TVs that need cooling fans.  If even one of those fans fails without your noticing, it's likely that some component inside is also going to fail due to the extra heat.
 
But these days, they already make fan-less 1080p plasmas, which is in itself an impressive improvement in plasma tech. 
 
The 51E550 display unit at SM MOA was poorly ventilated.  It was set up to be seen from outside the store.  So the the TV was facing the store's inside glass wall, which was about two feet in front of the TV.  Inches behind the TV was the white-painted plywood of the Samsung display stand. 
 
So the TV was sandwiched betweeen the plywood and the glass wall, with only 2 feet of space in between.  That's why it was running so hot.

Yes, of course.  In fact, I've never heard of a flat panel TV that can't be wall-mounted.
 

many thanks in advance sir barrister :D

You're very welcome, sir.  Just ask and many members will be willing to help.

Good Day mga sirs,

Im new here, and im lucky to find a thread that discuss  this specifc model, which is im eyeing to buy bfore this year ends.

Ive back read some posts, esp from sir barister, and can you clarify lng po some points for me, since im not a A/V person, and this is my first time buying a tv for my family, first time in 15 years namin now papalitan ung CRT sony tv namin sirs, and yes for movie viewing lang po nila this will be my gift for my mother and father. ung sony crt dun pren siguro mag watch ng mga afternoon shows. ive measured ung distance ng watching area namin, since balak ko po iwall mount 9 -10ft po from us ang magging location ng tv,

So here are the points im really confused about, if someone out there can help me thanks in advance.
1.) Judder <- medyo confuse
2.) IR on this model <- kelan po ito nag oocur, pag nanood ka po ba ng movie n 2hours, lalabas na ito and mkikita agad?, like after watchng a 2 hour movie mag tv surfing ka naman, mkikita po ba ito?
3.) ung 600hz advertised subfield features, is it true? ung clarity ng smoothness ng actions on movie esp fast moving objects will be noticeable po b tlga?
4.) responsive naman po ba ung internet features sya?, gusto ko po mtry panuorin ung fliptop sa youtube here XD
5.) suggestions sir n pwede pang tapat sa tv n to n pwede ko pa iconsider?
6.) budget wise lng po kasi ako kasi matagal ko po tlga pinagipunan to pra makbili, kya ayaw ko mawaste eh, investment ko nren po, marami po kasi ako nbasa viewing movie is good in plasma vs LED.
7.) native 1080p n po ito? un po kasi nkalgay sa site specs po eh, di naman n po halata ungpixels?

Re: sound issue wala nman siguro problem kasi my ht naman po kmi n ginagmit, pwede na po samin un.

Maraming salamat sirs, and thanks for this forum

Il be watching this thread po and wait for some good replys maraming salamat po ulit.

+1 here sir. I definitely agree that the fans make the unit relatively more noisy and a possible problem once the fan becomes defective. I guess it seems than if you are in a very cold room watching, you can go near the TV and warm up. Kaso maduduling ka lang sa pagpapanood. Not sure if the 3D glasses will work at that range. hehehehe.

@cefestejo.
Sir welcome to the forums.
IF 3D and resolution is not your thing the E450 model might be something to consider.

1.) Judder - It means choppy motion rather than smooth motion.  No judder problems on this TV.

2.) IR on this model - Kahit wala pang 2 hours, puwedeng lumabas.  Pero nawawala agad, minutes lang wala na.

3.) ung 600hz advertised subfield features -
 
This is true.  But this is different from 120 Hz or 240Hz Samsung Motion Plus.  Subfield drive means flickers per second; 600 Hz subfield drive means 10 flickers per frame, 60 frames per second in 60p NTSC video, 10 x 60 = 600 flickers per second.
 
Bale wala na ngayon ang 600 Hz subfield drive, hindi na pang high tech ngayon yon.  Lahat ng current plasma TV ay 600Hz subfield drive na, kahit yung mga low-end models.  Ang high tech yung 24p 96 Hz.  This TV supports 24p 96Hz.  Sa Panasonic, highest-end lang ang 24p 96Hz capable.   

4.) responsive naman po ba ung internet features sya? -
 
Walang kuwenta kasi mahirap mag navigate sa remote or sa cellphone remote app ng Android.  Ok ang browsing pag naka Samsung Galaxy S3 phone ka using Samsung AllShare Control app, pero kung hindi, sa PC ka na lang mag internet browsing...  :D .

5.) suggestions sir n pwede pang tapat sa tv n to n pwede ko pa iconsider? - Panasonic VT30.

6.) budget wise lng po kasi ako kasi matagal ko po tlga pinagipunan to pra makbili, kya ayaw ko mawaste eh, investment ko nren po, marami po kasi ako nbasa viewing movie is good in plasma vs LED. -
 
Wala.  Sinama mo kasi ang budget consideration e.   ;)

7.) native 1080p n po ito? un po kasi nkalgay sa site specs po eh, di naman n po halata ungpixels? -
 
Yes, native 1080p.  Hindi halata yung pixels.

Sir barrister maraming maraming salamat po sa pag sagot sa mga concerns ko sir, salamat po sirs at naging malinaw ang mga concerns ko.

tanong ko lang po sir ung sinsabi nyong features na  24p 96Hz., anu po iyon sa smoothness ng tv po ba un?, or my piling movie titles n ganun?

Pero ang Sammy iba ang panel for E550 and E8000.  Mas high-end ang panel for E8000.

Sir Barrister,

Notwithstanding the 'chicken feet' pedestal stand as this won't really matter if the tv is wall mounted, Is it still a good buy to get the E8000 as  far as superior picture quality is concerned?

tanong ko lang po sir ung sinsabi nyong features na  24p 96Hz., anu po iyon sa smoothness ng tv po ba un?, or my piling movie titles n ganun?

 
You're welcome sir.
 
Hindi mo naman mapapansin ang 24p 96Hz kung baguhan ka pa sa video.  Minor na minor lang ang difference, kailangan medyo maarte ka na sa video para ma-appreciate mo yon ...  :D
 
Medyo complicated ang explanation, kaya simplify ko nang konti.
 
Ang film sa sinehan ay 24 frames per second (fps) ang rate.  Sa DVD, naiiba nang konti kasi 60 fps ang rate.  Pag ang 24 fps ay converted sa 60 fps, nagkakaroon ng konting judder, pero OK lang, hindi masyadong pansin.
 
Sa Blu-ray, usually 24 fps ang encoding para pareho sa original film.  Pag nag playback ka sa home video, usually converted na naman sa 60 fps kaya parang DVD lang ang motion cadence, may error pa rin ang judder.  Para kamukha ng film ang motion cadence, mas maganda kung 24 fps din ang playback sa home video.  Kaya may 24p sa Blu-ray at may 24p rin sa TV ngayon.  24p means "24 progressive frames per second." 
 
Hindi sobrang kinis ng motion na parang naging telenovela ang film, katulad ng ginagawa ng mga 120Hz and 240 Hz Motion Plus.  Ang 96 Hz, may judder pa rin, pero ang judder nito ay parang parehong-pareho na talaga ng film.
 
Ang problema, pag 24 Hz ang playback, magkakaroon ng obvious flicker, kasi ang bagal ng 24 Hz.  Para mabawasan ang kumukurap-kurap sa picture, dinodoble ang 24 Hz to 48 Hz, para 24 x 2 = 48 times ang flashing per second.  Pero ang 48 Hz ay may minor flicker pa rin.  Para mas bawasan ang flicker, nagkaroon ng 72 Hz ang Pioneer plasma (24p x 3).  Ngayon, laos na rin ang 72 Hz, kasi ang uso ngayon sa high-end plasma ay 96 Hz (24p x 4).  Ang Sammy 51E550, mid-end lang, pero 96 Hz capable.
 
Iyan ang 24p 96Hz --- 24 frames per second x 4 = 96 frame flashes per second.

Sir Barrister,

Notwithstanding the 'chicken feet' pedestal stand as this won't really matter if the tv is wall mounted, Is it still a good buy to get the E8000 as  far as superior picture quality is concerned?

Yes.  The E8000 has the highest-end panel, internal filter and external filter in the 2012 Sammy plasma series.  So it should be better than the E550 in every way.

But if you're one of those who hate to see noise reduction (like me), make sure your E8000 does not have the non-defeatable noise reduction.  I don't know about the Philippine units, but I read on foreign sites that the E8000 still has some slight noise reduction even if you set the noise reduction to "off."
 
Sample review from the UK:
 
Keep in mind though that the European model Samsung PS51E8000 has undefeatable noise reduction running at all times. This won’t affect a resolution test (it would take unwatchably bad amounts of smearing to blur out the black and white line pairs in the test chart), but it does mean that actual content suffers from a slight lack of motion detail due to picture details being smoothed over by the noise reduction processing. We discuss real examples of this below.
 
... Another Samsung HDTV analysis, and another review where we have to lament the lack of a proper “Off” switch for the [Digital Noise Filter] control. Like last year’s displays, and the ones before that, the PS51E8000 has some light noise reduction running at all times, which can smear heavier film grain in a distracting and unnatural way, and also erase other details from high quality sources. Last year’s models had this issue fixed with a firmware update later on, but it’s back again in 2012.

Hi Mga Masters,

If you have a budget of Php90,000, anu yung bilhin nyo:

1.)  Samsung 51E8000 Palsma TV, which is around Php81,000 with Home Theater, Ipod Dock, 2 pairs of  active 3D glasses, and other freebies; OR,

2.)  LG 55LM7600 LED TV, which is around Php89,000, with 10 pairs of passive 3D glasses (pang buong angkan) and 2 pairs of Dual Play glasses, but NO Home Theater and NO iPod dock.

What are your reasons for your choice?

Tnx.

Try both. Some people prefer the flicker-free experience of passive 3D, whilst others prefer the resolution of active 3D.

The LED/LCD screen is probably bright enough to do 3D in a bright room, but the Plasma would likely excel in a dark environment.
