I got mine today at Abensons Shang but the sales guy there said the promo was over already, he just sold me the last two units when his previous buyer backed out. You can try asking just in case.  ;D

avail pa rin sa abenson waltermart pasong tamo. buy 1 taker 1. 60k for cash but for card price for 12 months it will be around 65k.

Post by: nsp on Nov 08, 2010 at 11:15 AM
bought 1 already last saturday. :)

was scouting for a new hdtv for almost 2 months. did a lot of research. asked a lot of questions from other pdvd forumers. patiently waited for the right deal to come along.

the perseverance and patience paid off. the 42pj350 for only 33,600/12 per month is the best deal right now. even without mkv support.

congrats! hindi na ba sya buy 1 take 1? where did you get it?
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: nsp on Nov 08, 2010 at 05:39 PM
buy 1 take 1 pa rin sya sir. abenson galleria.
pagdating ko dun sabi ko sa salesman sure buyer ako whether cash or card. kaya hanap nya ako kapartner. in less than 5 minutes meron na. my partner wants to pay in 12 months installment so i have no choice but to do the same. we paid a total of 67,200 for the units. my freebies were wall bracket, monster stereo cable, 4 pcs of glass food containers (parang lock & lock).

madami na akong napuntahan na av stores (including sns and listening in style), i think this is currently the best deal out there.

pero ingat lang sa mga bibili sa abenson. sobrang bolero yung mga salesmen nila. pinilit talaga kami na bentahan ng monster component video cables. sabi ko di na kailangan kasi hdmi is the best connection for hdtv. at dahil sa digital sya, kahit generic ok na. yung kapartner ko naninwala dun sa salesman, hindi sa akin. napilitan tuloy syang bumili ng di naman kailangan. at para magtigil na ako sa kaka-angal sa pambobola nya binigyan na lang ako ng monster stereo cable and food containers :)

Compared sa Panasonic 42X20 po? I'm choosing between these two plasma. Planning to buy this week. Antay ko lang pumasok bayad sa raket. Sana abutan ko yan buy1 take 1 nila.
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: nsp on Nov 09, 2010 at 09:58 AM
hirap yata i-judge. unless you can see them side by side. afaik, walang stores sa metro manila ang meron both models. i auditioned both units separately, and i can only go as far as saying that both are definitely better than their lcd counterparts when it comes to movie viewing.

i don't know. maybe the panny will win if you compare it to the lg side by side because it has a more mature plasma technology. but i decided to go for the lg because of the price. best bang for the buck and swak na swak sa budget ko na 30k.
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: ilokano on Nov 09, 2010 at 11:04 AM
Wow 30K? San nyo po nabili? budget ko is up to 40K lang pero kung may mas mura mas ok.
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: nsp on Nov 09, 2010 at 11:36 AM
sorry medyo confusing. 30k was my orig budget. cash transaction. pero i ended up paying 33,600. 12 months to pay. so parang ganun na rin yon.

Good Pm Brad, plasma user din ako , use cinema sa picture setting for at least 200 hours muna para di magkaroon ng image retention, good luck at happy viewing sa plasma mo , ok yan hindi mananakit ang mata mo although reflective ang screen.
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: lleggollazz on Mar 01, 2011 at 06:51 PM

60k for 2 units ang kuha ko. akala ko best deal in town na yon pero blake got an even better deal. where did you get yours blake?
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: blake on Mar 01, 2011 at 08:07 PM
AV SURFER name ng store

29999 cash price free 5.1 speaker my speaker na brand, although di ko pa nakukuha
(you can buy just one)

200 hours cinema setting that's it?

walang bawal panoorin ng matagal?

thanks sa advice

also any suggestion on how do I maximize HD?

I don't have any HD device, cable destiny so analog lang.

Di ko pinatulan yung inooffer na LG HT system hd output lang pero dvd player lang not blu ray for 15k (market price is 25k daw)

tahimik ata mga  pj350 users

anyone tried playing MKV files thru usb?

nagbabasa basa ako about how to hack the firmware /settings via

serial
or
universal remote

anybody tried this?
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: chris_santo on Mar 14, 2011 at 10:28 AM
When i was researching between the pj350 and x20, i saw somewhere that you can play mkv with an older firmware. But the thread was in europe so the units are probably pal.

Nevertheless i wouldn't risk getting that hacked if i can buy a decent hd player for 2.5k (kaiboer) or even 1k (nbox).

Checkout the nmt section for more info on these.

Hi mga sirs,

I saw an LG 42PJ350R is Abenson Cubao and it's 39,998 with free 22" ld330 worth 12.5K daw. good buy ba? maganda naman PQ nya, 1" frame at very thin sya compared sa x20. may disadvantages kaya ang pagiging manipis nito? TIA

floating black or sudden increase or decrease on the panels brightness depende sa scene, most obvious sa dark scenes.

Hi mga sirs,

Bleeding ba ang tawag kapag lumalagpas yung color ng TV logo? For example,  TV logo ng channel 5 (destiny cable), yung color red ay lumalagpas kaunti sa bilog. Anyone has experienced this?  Ano po ang fix para dito? salamats po
Title: Re: LG 42PJ350R users thread
Post by: macoyzki on Apr 28, 2011 at 05:19 AM
Mga sirs,

I am experiencing noise lines when watching dvd. I contacted LG and they sent a tech guy the next day.

The LG tech made some check ups.  We tried connecting the cables in Component 1 & 2  and AV1 & AV2 inputs as well. Horizontal lines was only prominent in Component 2 input.  We tried also using a different dvd player but still the Component 2 shows lines.

I told the tech guy to replace my unit with a new one. He said it will take time for this since it will have to undergo approvals. We took pictures of the evidence and sent it to them.

Did you experience this in your PJ? What's the fix?

TIA :)

Had my PJ350 replaced last night in AV Surfer Alimall. LG aftersales service is so good and hassle free. I even got the newer unit. Previous one was manufactured on October 2010, the new one was manufactured on January 2011. Also, the 30-day replacement will start again. Hopefully, I will not encounter any minor problems anymore. Kudos LG!

tanong lang sir, kapag nag view ka ng mga pictures naka-stretched pa din ba sa screen at hindi naka full screen?

at kung mag play ka ng avi files from usb may nakikita kang lag during scene change sa very top of the screen? about .25 inches thick portion of the screen at the most upper edge?

dahil jan 2011 namanufacture replacement unit mo gusto ko lang malaman kung nafix na nila ito. thanks
