Just saw this 7 series yesterday at Anson's trinoma. Yea, very impressive and sharp pic quality, very very thin pa when you look at it from the sides it's like an inch and a half thick lang or even less. Black bars on the hd hulk demo playin produced very inky blacks. Almost as black as the piano finish frame. But after looking at it for a while, I noticed imperfections pa din. The display unit was a 40 inch model priced at 150K+, forgot the specific model though. I dont know if it was the material being played or if it was just me but the pic looked very grainy as my gf also noticed and agreed. Even from a 6 foot distance it was still quite visible.
Another thing was black levels were somewhat crushed. Portions which should still show details were already lost. In my thoughts, maybe this can be easily fixed by tweaking the pic settings.
And lastly, eto ang pamatay, there was already a dead pixel on the lower left corner portion of the screen and sakto pa dun sa lower black bar ng program material!
I called the attention of the salesperson and showed him the dead pixel, he looked very surprised when he saw it, nodded, and just smiled at us . I asked him if for example I bought one and I find a dead pixel, let's say within a month, will you replace it immediately? His reply was "I'm sorry sir, it has to be eight or more pixels before we can replace it." Ganun??! Yikes!!!
Natakot ako sa sagot nya! Umm.. ok thanks! (with fake smiles on our faces as we left)
In my mind mag plasma pa rin ako when its time to upgrade.
