SONY bravia X series wat model? x200 o x300? Kung x300 yan its good, yan naman tlga ang best full hd lcd out in the market nowadays in the States i think its called Bravia XBR. W/o waranty? i think its up to you to decide ksi pag service waranty lng naman its really nothing compared to  a replacement waranty, but i dont think its offered here in the Pinas ksi mauutak din mga negosyante d2 iwas abala sa kanila.Khit Sony Phil service waranty lng ang offer.  If your dead set on buying an lcd the sony bravia x300 is the best choice but price is quite high compared to other brands. If you wana go w/ plasma the 50pv70 is the best choice at a reasonable price. you can canvass n compare the price at Theater Works trinoma (look for jef) , Sights and sounds at shangrila ( looks for vic), Image at harison plaza (look for angel).

steelcrazy,

yes, 300. ang ganda kasi ng price compared dito sa pinas...tulad ng promo dito, kasama na yung maliit na flat tv.
 
may ng pm din sa akin, and pareho kayo ng advice. namamahalan din ako nung una, pero nung ikumpara ko side by side sa ibang brands, merong kakaiba sa sony na di ko mai describe. yup, pinarehas ko ang calibration nila. parang mas 'buhay' yung images at 'swabe' yung action scenes.

salamat din sa advice.

:-)

Yes its SONY like no other. Yan naman tlaga ang d best in terms of visuals. With the introduction of 1080p quality movies, only SONY amazed me w/ true to life images on their display. It's eye catching! Ever since tv namen d2 sa haus is always SONY. Ibang iba talaga ang picture quality pag SONY and no one can deny that deep inside their hearts. Yun nga lng its price is quite high and people tend to settle for lower price lcds or plasmas and satisfy themselves because they dont wana spend much to have a SONY. As everybody knows its hard to import SONY products kung merun man maliit lng ang kita ng mga negosyante d2 so they really looks for alternatives like panasonic and toshiba w/c they import and are aggressively pushing to the masses becoz of its cheaper price. Other brands of lcds and plasmas look good when stand alone pero pagtinabihan ng SONY one cant help notice the difference na mas buhay ang kulay pag SONY. Basta in my conclusion, if u want a 40" hd display, buy the SONY X300 undoubtedly the best but expensive. If its 50" above u have to settle for plasmas PANASONIC 50PV70 a good buy at a reasonable price. SONY products are expensive because SONY tend to package their units w/ add ons so called freebies but the truth is ur really paying for them . The secret there is if you can break the package into parts that u can sell like the inclusive home theater, hdmi cable, flat screen tv,etc then the price of the display unit alone will become reasonable and acceptable.

question po para sa mga klv300v owners... Sabi kasi dun sa site ng sony, may PAP function sya (watch two separate pictures from different sources)... Natry niyo na po ba magdesktop sa kabila and tv/dvd sa kabila?

di ko pa nasubok pagsabayin ang PC output at tv or dvd. ang nasubok ko pa lang e sabay na TV at dvd output.

Hi, we have a sony 32v300 and after setting "auto-tuning" the TV quality became very snowy. What setting i need to configure to make it clearer. thanks in advance

[VinceT]

problem solved by manually setting the TV signal under manual channel preset programming.

[legalypogi]

san makikita yung demo setting ng 32v300 diko ko kse makita thnx

[steelcrazy]

Very satisfied w/ my Bravia 40V300A excellent PQ indeed. I could have bought the panasonic 42pv70 last year but for certain reasons i settled for the Sony Bravia even if its 20% more expensive at that time. I followed my heart w/ that choice over wat my mind dictates and absolutely no regrets. Sony for me has the best color and picture quality when compared side by side w/ other brands but other people tends to shy away because of its high price not because its quality.  Most people just tend to be practical w/ their choices nowadays. They are forced to settle for samsung and panasonic coz its prices are indeed a lot cheaper.

Guys, pano natin nddetect na may dead pixel?

download the software from here http://www.astris.com/dpl/ and output the display from your pc to your lcd tv, then run the software and you are good to go.

may dead pixels po ba na hindi makikita by just inspectioning thoroughly the display panel? because i once detected a dead pixel (a blue dot on the screen) kaya ni-replace agad ng S&S. i thought it was only 1 pixel. is it possible that the one i saw, composed of 2 or more dead pixels?

Kailan kaya dating dito nyan? I am also looking forward to this model.

[Mannyx]

The new S series is now posted sa local website kaso wala pang price . I like the looks and specs for an entry model LCDTV.
Hopefully magbenta din agad sila Sir Vic and Sir Jeff para makadiscount tayo.

I just saw today display unit of the new Sony KLV32S400 at Sony Abenson Robinson Place, Manila. Priced at P51,990 plus usual freebies, 12 months 0% int, less P7,000 pag cash. Mas maganda pa rin ang picture quality ng Sony V series 32V300A which is also has the same price now.

Hi

From this thread, it suggests that Panels scale the pics to its native resolution. so it can upscale ? ( but only the dvd players upscale it better ? ) 

I recently got a W400. Im curious on how to enjoy a 1080p signal.  Ive checked the net for answers ( quite lazy on this ) , asked the sony 'dizer, the service center installer, my friend who got a 42pv70 + denon setup.  they all said that i need a 1080p dvd player and the tv "does not" upscale.  so reading this thread took me back to square 1.

i got an old pioneer dv313 ht system.  480p.  and thats what the sony displays when played, 480p. 

Right now, im waiting for pioneer to launch its 1080p capable HTib.  very soon says the manila supervisor. the current ones only scales to 1080i.  ( yea, dv600 can do it + optics , but i have a buyer eyeing my old htib ). htib - the setup's for my bedroom. it would do.  got an onkyo for the living room setup.

so whats really happening in my panel + htib setup regarding upscaling. 

thanks

[steelcrazy]

Yes thats true the Sony V-series indeed has great picture quality.

[surg]

Hello po mga Sirs! Newbie here. Meron na po ba Sony bravia V na 37"?

hi, your panel is a full hd screen, meaning its native resolution is 1920X1080. so it should accept 1080p material without upscaling provided you have the following players:

bluray player (ie. ps3, or any player from panasonic, samsung and sony)
hddvd player (ie. mostly toshiba, this format is now considered dead)

but if you have standard definition materials (ie dvds) then you need a dvd upscaler to play the sd content in upscaled 1080p glory. your panel is not the problem. its the choice of player and materials that you will use that will say whether you want 1080p output or not.

so to get "real" 1080p output for your screen then i suggest you invest in a ps3 (or any bluray or hddvd player for that matter), or as many are discovering now, hard disc based players like tvix and popcorn can also play downloaded p*****d 1080p materials.

but if you really want an htib that can upscale sd content to 1080p then you may have to wait. as far as i know, still no htib in this department. 

[Brad_Pitt]

thanks for the clarification bossing. Read a number of threads saying "let the tv do the upscaling " etc. so it affected my grasp on it.

Htib / Ht in one systems like sony bravia line boasts of a 1080p upscaling dvd player in 3 variants.  pioneer would follow soon to get its market share.  so these are the 1080p units one can get to tide one over, till blueray becomes affordable. am i wrong again ? 

or maybe youre saying no htib yet that delivers full hd.  yea, even the player-only is still prohibitive.

you are right, but these are all, as you said upscaling dvd players so even if it upscales your standard definition materials to 1080i or 1080p it is still upscaling. its not full hd, and yes you are right again that it can be a system to tide you over before you take the hd plunge (bluray or the now defunct hddvd).

or maybe youre saying no htib yet that delivers full hd.  yea, even the player-only is still prohibitive.

this statement is also correct, because their are still no htib systems that are bluray based or even hddvd based. all htib system that are existing in the market today are dvd based, even if they are upscaling to 1080p does not make them full hd systems.

dvd = 480 lines of resolution (sd)
bluray & hddvd = 1080 lines of resolution (hd)

sorry mods, i think ot na. 

[surg]

my friend, a long time Sony technician but now working with LG Kenya told me that sony get their LCD lens from Samsung. Thus, the PQ of Samsung is he same with Sony. A fellow member here also said that. How true?
