I tried my best to have them lower the price without the freebies, pero ayaw talaga eh.
Well nag offer sakin yung sales nila na bilhin yung HT for 5k. Iyon lang hehe.
Anyway, since I had it for about a day I was finally able to tinker with it.
My findings (this is my first lcdtv so baka yung ibang points ko hindi valid)
Pros:
*Build quality is good.
*Gaming with xbox360 is really great. You can see all the eye candy.
*Can accept 1080p signal but downscaled back to 720p, tried this with xbox360 and it works.
*Standard tv viewing is decent, please note it is still below CRT quality, but comparing it with samsung
r and s 81 series, and sharp BX series, I personally think it is better.
*Using VGA as a source (connected via laptop), 720p videos were good, even the lower quality videos that I downloaded
played well. Comparing it with my computer LCD (samsung 940bw), I think the v300 is better.
*The audio source for the VGA is an earphone jack, so madali i-connect sa laptop or pc.
*Black levels are definitely better than my pc LCD.
*adjustable yung black levels (low medium high)
*there is an option to fix vcd / mpeg noise and it seems to work well
*Wireless headphones were very useful. The TV allotted a different volume setting for the headphone
so you can mute your TV set and enjoy the sounds from the headphone.
Cons:
*Mapping the channels can be a pain as you have to put them in a certain order
If you take out something in the middle, uurong lahat ng channels.
*I think the factory settings is a bit too bright for my liking
medyo sumakit yung mata ko for the first 30 minutes of playing xbox
might need the avia disc for this
*Speaker sound is so-so
Comparing with my 4 year old sony sdtv, the older tv sounds better
(my old tv has subwoofer on top of it built in, so maybe this is one of the reasons)
*Slow to channel surf when compared to my sdtv
*You insert the coaxial cable sa side. I personally did not like this, then again I guess
they placed it there kasi pwede mo i-wall mount. But for people like me who place their
TV on the ever trusty table feel ko masama tingnan.
*Need to add around 6999 pesos to avail of the home theater with dvd upscaler.
*Free wireless headphone seems very fragile. I dont think it will last very long.
