Hi po! Patulong naman Sir Vic and guys, I'm choosing between the 3 units below, ano po ba ang best sa kanila for 32" and 42"?
1. LG LD460
2. Samsung C550
3. Toshiba RV700
Ska kung okay lang po, pa PM naman po ng latest price list.
Except that Samsung C550 has crystal bezel, the C550 and C530 have the same picture quality.
Toshiba Full HD TV 32" is RV series while the 40" has only AV and CV series. Except that CV has picture in picture feature, RV, CV and AV are made with the same video engine, and therefore all have the same picture quality.
Here are the impression of the above TVs made by Carlo on the thread topic 1st quarter 2011 T.V picks! :
LG 42LD460 at P38000.*
PRO: Balanced color; good black level; crisp and detailed picture.
AGAINST: Backlight bleeding from four corners disrupts the black bars that run along the top and bottom of the screen when watching a video.
VERDICT: A good high definition TV held back by backlight bleeding issue.
Samsung LA40C530 at P35500.*
PRO: Accomplished picture from most sources; adequate connectivity: 3 HDMI ports, USB port for picture and movie playback.
AGAINST: The standard-definition only tuner delivers coarse, noisy, and edgy picture; poor sound from built-in speakers; 'torch' bright picture requires the user to settle for less bright level picture setting. You need to have a grip on picture calibration. Otherwise, you lose the ideal color balance setting.
VERDICT: A compitent mid level/ middle ground LCD with good features.
Toshiba 40AV700 with free AV Link Media Player at P38000.*
PRO: Fully loaded TV: auto signal booster to enhance standard-definition TV reception, 4 HDMI inputs and a USB port; built-in speakers sound reasonably dynamic and dramatic.
Realistic color; deep and insightful black level.
AGAINST: Dark scene reveals a touch of noise at times.
VERDICT: A model with accurate colors and excellent detail attention--plus the bonus of superior connectivity and functionality – Good "all-arounder"!
The above impressions seem to point to Toshiba as a better TV.
