By Rik Henderson

LG has confirmed to Pocket-lint that it will be shutting down its plasma television production line before the end of 2014, possibly even next month.

Good choice ba ang Samsung PS60F5500?
Same PQ ba cya with 51F5000 or H5000? Thanks

guys, i need your expert thoughts. I have a pioneer kuro 428xg. Ive been using this for almost 6 years already. Recently, when i turn on the tv it shows somewhat like distorting pictures (watching tv cable) and no sound. then it'll restore to normal viewing with sound after some couple of minutes. It will go back again repeatedly. I suspect maybe its the tuner board? but when i test the inputs (there are currently 6 inputs for hdmi/pc/component) 2 of which give sound (like having a microphone near a speaker).

Will post a pic later.

The world is running out of plasma TVs

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

And then there were none.

The last company to make plasma TV screens for U.S. consumers said this week that it would stop production of plasma sets in November. The widely expected announcement by LG has put the final nail in plasma TV's coffin.

Indeed it is!

Conversely, Panny's VT60 and ZT60 are coming down in prices! As well as Samsung's F8500 plasmas.
Yesterday, I saw the 65" VT60 on par with pricing at $2999 same as 60" ZT60. So technically its either you get the bigger plasma with slightly lower specs/performance or sacrifice the 5" of display and get the top-tier ZT60.

Samsung's 60" F8500's prices are going down too, and you can have them for as low as $2399 and $2899 for the 64" version.

LG's decision on stopping Plasma TV production is due to the fact that people don't wanna buy their plasmas anymore. I'd say 75% of consumers who buy Plasmas nowadays are from the enthusiast market knowing the benefits of getting a Plasma when we talk about deeper colour, blacker blacks and whiter whites, refresh rates, etc. while the other 25% of the buyers simply buy them because they can get a bigger TV for a cheaper price compared to buying LEDs.

If I was in your situation. No.

I'll just buy Samsung 51H5000 for 31K; the Kuro might have better blacks but then again, the Samsung is considered best buy because of its very good contrast, clear panel, and of course the size.

To all gurus, need advice ok pa ba to buy Samsung 51 inch Plasma PS51E550 knowing newer models specifically Samsung 51H5000 is hard to find nowadays? Also yung mga second hand plasma TV advisable pa ba since wala ng manufacturer. Upgrading soon to 50 and up. Tia!

It is but you might need to check every Abenson branches around for availability.

Call their branches first rather going to each store

Quitacet · « **Reply #618 on:** Nov 25, 2014 at 12:49 PM »

In two abensons i checked here in bulacan, ubos ang h5000 models. Waht is left is the older 720p models

espionage · « **Reply #619 on:** Nov 25, 2014 at 01:24 PM »

Here's the list that I know that they don't have NO stock:
Abenson shangri-la
Glorietta
Robinsons Ermita
Avant Greenbelt

Malamang yung mga natitira yung mga display or yung sinoli na mga PinoyDVDers

Baka meron pa sa Ansons Makati?

Yes, ayos ang 51E550! Yung D ang problema, pero E, F and H, ok yon.

Satisfied ako sa TV ko na yon. Nag upgrade lang ako sa 51F8500 kasi nabalitaan ko na phase out na ang Sammy plasma. Kung walang phase out, hindi ko na sana pinalitan kasi ang ganda naman.

@ barrister thanks, actually it's your review regarding this model that made me convince my sis-in-law to buy this TV way back 3rd quarter of 2013. She was reluctant to buy a plasma TV, since her 2011 samsung 43" plasma have 4 vertical lines

after 1 year of use. This will be my upgrade coming from LG plasma
