Topic: help me decide c3500 or c3000

[kalawang]

hi,

help naman, di ko ma decide between toshiba c3500 or c3000, 3500 is hd ready while yung isa full hd. the price difference mga 10k+. gusto ko lang malaman kung worth ba yung diffence ng picture quality sa 37" yung 10k, laki din kasi ng 10k.

wala kasi akong makitang display ng 37c3000 sa mga store puro c3500 so di ko macompare, baka meron nakapag compare na para makapag decide na ako.

thanks

Do you prefer lcd over plasma? If your tight in budget, the best buy is the Panasonic 42PV70 plasma tv. It costs a little over 50k and you have a 42" flat panel that is 1080p capable and w/ 2 hdmi connectivity. Pm E-REPLY i'm sure he'll give you a very irresistable price for that unit and w/ freebies pa.

there's a side by side display of the c3500 and c3000 at Cash & Carry second floor - i'm not sure if it's Abenson or Automatic Center ... I'm actually eyeing the C3500 as well ... I could not really distinguish the difference in picture quality with what they were showing, the issue that I have with the C3000 (although it's full HD), is that it seems to be from an older generation than the c3500

another thing is that the external appearance of the c3500 looks much better than the c3000 ... the c3500 has piano black externals, while the c3000 has matte black

i'm planning to check out the c3500 and other price equivalents from other brands this coming Sunday at Sights & Sounds .... with no visible difference on picture quality (as what i've observed at Cash & Carry), I would rather pick the c3500 and spend the extra 10k on buying an HT rack or upscaling dvd player + other accessories

42k nalang ang c3500 kay sir nemesis (theater works). at 37" walang difference ang full hd image ng c3000 sa hd ready image ng c3500, unless you are watching it from 4-5 feet. i have a c3500 and watching 720p material at 7 feet and it looks really good. i'd say go for the c3500. or a panasonic 42pv70 is a very good product, if i have known it earlier, i would have bought that instead, 5" of extra screen real estate is a huge difference. 

but honestly, am very happy with my c3500.

If the Toshiba C3500 is selling at 42 to 45K, you may wish to get a unit with official Toshiba guaranty certificate. An official Toshiba TV also has Toshiba Product Registration Certificate.
