up for this. Does anybody know if this TV also supports ARC?

To whoever owns one now or is about to check the TV, look at the HDMI port at the back.  The acronym ARC would be clearly marked on the HDMI port that is compliant to it - usually isang HDMI port lang out of many HDMI ports available - and it's usually HDMI1 or 2.   You dont need HDMI 1.4 for ARC to work.  And yeah, ARC is pretty cool for regular TV and cable watching.

just got this at SNS last thursday for 30K.. yes 30K lang.. probably the cheapest 3d tv now..  ;D

just 1 problem though parang bitin yung 43 inches i suggest you to ditch the 3D and get the 51D450 hehe.. that is if you're willing to spend 8K more for the additional 8 inches and if you might have a little bit more money try to get the 51D550 (yes skip the 51D490) because it's just around 56K and it's a full HD set.. compared to the 50K 51D90 for 720p only..  ;D

sir, this is upgrading from what tv? better ba tong 43d490?

chief, upgraded from a 32 incher for which i bought for 30k also in 2009.. i guess inflation does not affect technology.. hehehe..  :D

Looks 9/10:
LED like thin bezel, touch of red (thin strip of red on the bottom bezel), transparent glass yung stand nya unlike sa d450 all black, touch sensitive buttons on the lower right portion of the bezel, the remote is sleek and has a good feel to it.

Picture 8/10:
it's only a 720p set, i noticed some grainy picture when i watch it at 1 feet but of course that's not my viewing distance talaga..  :D they say you can tweak the picture settings but haven't tried it though since i'm still in the break-in period pa.. i can say this is a decent set when it comes to pq just don't compare it to the panny x30.. hehehe  ;D

Features 10/10:
the usb port plays everything nga talaga it's like having nmt but don't expect too much from it like bd isos.. it can decode dts din unlike it's competitors.. the user interface is also great, it has something like an e-manual to help you navigate..

Inputs and outputs 9/10:
3 hdmi ports, 1 spdif (optical out), 1 audio out (3.5mm), analog and composite ins.

Overall 9/10:
For the price, you get 3D (w/ 2 glasses and 4 bds), good pq, a lot of inputs and killer looks..

Is 720p that much of a downer when compared to Full HD?  Kasi most 42"I demo'ed at close distance, kita ang mga grid between pixels (especially kung white ang picture). 

arudorin, does SNS includes the usual Samsung options (like the 3D Bluray player for 10k)?

I wanted Full HD but at double the price, parang hindi worth it...

51 inches D490 as far as I know was already discontinued sa SNS. They only have 43D490 and 51D550 (full HD 3D plasma). But please check with Sir Vic to confirm.  :)

just PM sir vic for the latest price list plus may discount pa kapag directly kang nakipag usap kay sir vic.
as of today ang freebies ng D490 ay 2 3D glasses (inside the box) plus for redemption 2 3D glasses + bluray player + 6 mons bluray pass.

cmiiw, yung redemption eh hindi yata kasama yung additional 2 3D glasses. naitawag mo na ba sa samsung? I was able to call & schedule the redemption kanina, around 10 working days daw idedeliver yung bluray player + 6 mos. bluray pass.

question guys, napagana nyo ba yung subtitle dito?

Gurus, what's the best setting for this TV? wynzam is right medyo madilim nga. Naka Digibox ako kagabi using RCA at pinanonood ko yung UFC at medyo madilim then binalik ko sa analog cable at medyo lumiwanag kaya lang medyo noisy (meron pa saming Analog na Skycable). sana may mag share ng best setting para dina gumastos sa pagcalibrate sa SNS. Thanks.

boyka69: unfortunately no 3D glasses are included in the box so it will be via redemption together w/ the bluray player and it will take around 3 weeks to be redeemed at SNS (SNS is the one who applied for the redemption). I heard that in some stores the 3D glasses are already inside the box.

I was planning to get this unit from sns as I got an LCD from them 3 years ago. But I had to stop by sta lucia mall to buy something. In the process of doing so, I stopped by western (no sales person tried to assist me maybe becoz I had a hole in my shirt hehe). I then went to abenson and the sales guy asked me what i needed, I asked for the price of the 43d490 and he said 31.5k. I asked him to lower it and he said it was not possible. I walked out and 3 steps out the door the sales guy comes calling at me. Next thing I know I was a few thousands poorer but with a big smile on my face.  ;D

happy naman ako sa unit hindi ko pa lang ma enjoy yung 3D kase nga wala pang glasses sana hindi naman abutin ng 3 weeks bago makuha yung glasses and bluray player...Highly recommended seller talaga ang SnS,very accomodating si sir vic,prompt magreply sa mga text ko sa kanya abt d unit. :)

Ang binigay na freebie sa akin ay yung 2 3D glasses lang. Sayang, akala ko may kasamang 3D bluray movie.

Anyways, ayos tong TV na to. bang for the buck!

b1rador: let's wait na lang once the player arrive. I bought the unit since Nov19 but until today di pa dumarating, ang malungkot wala pang 3d glass sa box kaya pati 3d glass hinihintay pa din dumating. Ang mas malungkot di sila sabay darating. Sabi ko nga kay Sir Vic baka malungkot pasko namin kasi di kami makakanood ng 3D movies. hehehe!!!

nabili po namin yung Samsung PS43D490 3D Plasma TV namin mga end of October sa SM, ngayon me line sya sa left side, pano po ba dapat gawin para sa warranty repair/replacement?

Sa ngayon pupunta si Misis sa SM kakausapin yun binilhan namin dala nya yung resibo, home service po ito di ba?

natest na po namin sya using different sources, Cignal, Videoke nandun sya talaga e.
pano kung mismong panel na pala sya? Papalitan po ba ito ng bagong unit? o repair lang?

What about yung mismong repair? Mabilis lang po ba sila mag repair?

Part ng reason bat Samsung ang binili ko,  because maganda raw ang warranty service, but i never thought it was so soon, just barely two months pa lang itong  unit namin.

hay sana nga ayus sila talaga sa warranty. malalaman natin kung maayos ba talaga sila sa warranty

Pag mga ganitong sira po ba e repairable sya or palit unit na?
Title: Re: Samsung PS43D490 3D Plasma TV
Post by: oznola on Dec 11, 2011 at 08:24 AM
ito lang din ibibigay nila sa inyo. sabi ko nga,dont waste time going there pa.


1-800-107267864 [PLDT] , 1-800-8-7267864 [ Globe landline and Mobile ], 1-800-3-7267864 [Digitel]

Monday - Sunday ; 8:30 A.M. ~ 8:30 P.M.

sabi ko nga tumawag na lang kayo direct.

nasa website din nila yan. use your net.  ;)

sa case mo,you can insist na palitan na lang ng bago kesa repair. ikaw ba papayag na barely 2 months ire-repair na agad? ikaw ang masusunod dyan.kung gusto mo din ng refund you can ask for one.

dont wish na "sana". sabi ko nga,insist nyo kung ano ang gusto nyo mangyari.kayo dapat ang masunod hindi sila.

kung ako yan,ill have the tech sent out to assess it. tapos pag na-assess na niya yan,i-file na nya sa office nila yan for recommendation/next step. i will firmly request na palitan ng bago instead na repair.

@eugenrs: insist for a replacement through Samsung directly, don't expect SM will replace it. So for your next purchase make sure sa SNS ka na kumuha. Kapag ganyan kasing case na very obvious ang problem, palit kaagad yan kay Sir Vic or pwede mo pang i upgrade kung dismayado ka talaga sa unit mo.

Post by: eugenrs on Dec 12, 2011 at 12:15 PM
Thanks sa lahat !

Nabigyan na si Misis ng service ticket number, and yes we will insist on a new replacement.

Actually nagpunta kami sa Sns, kaso and sabi sa amin that time walang stocks, e paalis na rin ako in a couple of days kaya napilitan na kami kumuha sa SM.

I inspected the unit naman wala naman syang sira end of october sya nabili at nitong nakaraang araw lang lumabas iyong lines.

i really like this model, yun nga lang natapat lang talaga siguro sa akin ito.
, ngayon malalaman ko kung anong warranty service meron ang Samsung.

i just got mine yesterday... im from cebu and i got it for 35k w/ free bluray player and 2 3d glasses! sweet!

BTW, dont ever forget to do a "break-in" of ur new plasma tv to avoid/lessen the burn-in/image retention issues... this is VERY IMPORTANT!!! the 1st 100-200 hours of ur new plasma tv is the most crucial...

and as what the samsung manual says, burn-in is NOT covered by the warranty...

once again, its still a plasma... we need to accept that fact so better be safe than sorry...

I just bought the 51in model last monday with 4 3d glasses free..so far am really enjoying it..pero here's a question do we really need to break in our plasmas? Marami rin kasi nagsasabi dun sa AVS forums na no need na meron rin naman sabi need pa rin..and by the way aside from the color slides can i use the burn in protection for breaking in rin? Thanks!
Title: Re: Samsung PS43D490 3D Plasma TV
Post by: arnarn on Dec 15, 2011 at 12:49 AM
for me no need na. pero for that peace of mind, just keep the brightness and contrast levels to 50, cell light to 8 for at least 100 hours. avoid static images and black bars. pwede na din siguro yang pang break in. sayang kasi kuryente sa breakin slides hehe.

I was supposed to get this plasma this saturday... kaya lang, mejo nadisappoint ako sa review from this site... may PQ issues ata since native resolution nito is 1024x768 and the reviewers claim na pangit daw ang motion performance and resolution scaling

owners, hows the 43D490 ba? is it really this bad? kamusta pagplay ng 720p at 1080p movies? kamusta gaming?

if ok lang naman sa owners ang performance, baka i'll get it pa rin.. torn kasi ako between PN43D490 at UA 40D5000

Bought mine sa Western sa Sta Lucia Mall kanina. After weeks of waiting and searching (ubos na kahit saan. Even sa SNS na tagal ko hinintay hehe coz 30k ang cash price.) Anyway, mukang para sa akin talaga ito kanina...got it for 28,800k. Free 2 3d glasses and bluray na bd5100. However, talagang mga 1st wk ng January pa makukuha. Dun na rin sa Western.

Fyi, sana pasok pa rin sa blupass promo ng samsung ito. The salesman assured me naman na that's the case coz i bought it before dec31. :-) sana.

By the way, PQ and 3D mode exceeded my expectations :-) hindi halata mashado ang 720p lang coz 43" naman sha eh. Ok rin bluray movies thru PS3. :-)

Our replacement was approved yesterday, baka makuha na sya ni Misis memya.

bro, kanina I also experienced the vertical line on this model :( nakaka inis eh mismong nasa center pa >:( ilang days/weeks bago nila napalitan? may option ba silang binigay to replace the unit or refund na lang? parang gusto ko na lang i-refund eh, nakaka dismaya kasi ika-2nd month pa lang nito sa akin.problema lang pag refund baka ipasoli din yung blu-ray player hehe.. parang natakot kasi ako, what if wala na warranty tapos lumabas ulit ang problem na ganito? pag napalitan ba ang tv eh babaguhin ba ang start ng warranty period o same pa din kung kelan mo binili yung tv?

btw, when I bought my tv last nov, after 2 weeks lang eh nadeliver na yung bd player. kinulit ko kasi sa hotline nila, follow-up ako ng follow-up :D enjoy din ako sa free bd rental. too bad, nagka problem unit ko...

eugenrs posted the issue :

nabili po namin yung Samsung PS43D490 3D Plasma TV namin mga end of October sa SM, ngayon me line sya sa left side, pano po ba dapat gawin para sa warranty repair/replacement?

Sa ngayon pupunta si Misis sa SM kakausapin yun binilhan namin dala nya yung resibo, home service po ito di ba?

natest na po namin sya using different sources, Cignal, Videoke nandun sya talaga e.
pano kung mismong panel na pala sya? Papalitan po ba ito ng bagong unit? o repair lang?

[img width=640 height=480]http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa377/eugenrs/DSCF3975.jpg


they got the replacement

Dumating na sya problema naman ni misis mag iinstal, wala kasi ako,
pero sabi nya dating daw by tomorrow yung Samsung to install.

ayus

do the math on how long it took.quite fast if you ask me  ;) if you ask me, try getting the replacement muna as refunds take longer. itawag mo na din and have a tech dispatched kasi kailangan yun. unang step yun e. pag nakita na ng tech at mabigyan ka ng job order,you can demand whichever option you choose. good luck at magdagdag ng tyaga sa pag follow up.  :P

ganda nitong tv na ito, after 150+ hrs of break-in mas lumiwanag na ang display at mas nabuhay pa ang mga kulay. tried some calibrated settings, ang ganda! coming from a 1080p ledtv, no regrets, cinematic colors and feel, at syempre even blacks at all angles, sarap manood ng movies  ;D

wish ko lang hindi ko maencounter yung mga problems na namention dito, but i think maaayos naman yung mga nagkaproblema dahil factory defect ang vertical line and meron namang 2yrs warranty ang unit na ito.

btw, PQ really is superb with this set. someone posted he could see grainy pic from 1ft, but that was before/ during his break-in. pareho kami nung pakiramdam. out-of-the-box hindi ko nagustuhan pic nya but after considerable break-in unti-unting gumanda ang PQ, and after calibration, all i can say is WOW   ;D

thanks oznola (same handle mo ba sa grupo toyota?), I also read a few months ago yung nangyari sayo, mukhang kelangan ko nga ng mahabang pasensya. I already reported it to samsung yesterday, sa monday pa makakapunta ang tech to check the unit.but I will demand a replacement na kaagad instead of repair. kung matatagalan ang refund, I'll settle for replace na lang talaga. pwede kaya replace ng 51", dagdag na lang ako haha..

almost 2 weeks din pala bago napalitan kay eugenrs, medyo matagal din.they will pull-out the unit ba while waiting for a replacement? hassle yun pag ganun, wala ba service unit na ipapahiram kahit yung 51" hehehe..

It took 10 days from the day it was reported to Samsung till a replacement got delivered.
They only pulled out the unit when they delivered the replacement.

Iba and nagdedeliver at nag iinstall,  installer came a few hours after the delivery.

Samsung also gave us hdmi cables (free) , i think i had two HDMI cables changed,
1 for the dvd home theather and 1 for my Cignal Sattelite TV , they gave my wife the old hdmi cables.

Insist on replacement first, from what i've read, mas matagal ang refund

Si Misis and nag asikaso sa amin, sya ang tumatawag sa Samsung. Diretso ka na dun brod.

same handle bro  ;)  yeah,dealt with them again recently. ok na naman.inaantay ko na lang yung free bluray player para isang puntahan na lang sa SnS para kunin replacement unit nung LCD na nagka vertical line naman. plagued na ata Samsung ng mga issues sa TV's nila ngayon. yung una kong LCD TV til now maayos pa din and its almost 4 years old na ata.mas magaganda ata yung mga labas noon kesa sa ngayon. :-\

natanong ko sa robinson's yan, sabi kung higher model eh pwede daw pero magdagdag na lang ako. pero hindi daw pwede yung downgrade, like from 43" to 32" lcd, hindi naman sila mag c-cash out kasi.

update ko lang, wala pa daw yung report from samsung tech sa kanilang office kaya hindi pa matawagan ang robinsons to replace our unit. pina-follow up na nga mismo nung taga robinsons.

weird thing happened just this evening, tinitigan ko kung ilan na yung number of hours nung tv (yung sinabi ni 45caliber), parang na reset yung picture setting, nawala yung configure ko dati. then napansin ko eh nawala din yung vertical line sa gitna. for more than 30 mins ko na ginagamit pero nawala talaga yung line hehehe.. paano kaya yun? baka hindi na palitan ng samsung ah hehe.. pero i'll insist na palitan talaga, pano kaya kung biglang lumabas ulit, hassle kaya mag report ulit at mag hintay.

naka experience din ako ng vertical line sa gitna.. pag check ng technician sa bahay eh ni-reset lang niya sa factory default settings at nawala yung vertical lines.. yun nga lang pati yung pinaghirapan ko paglalagay ng names ng stations/channels eh na reset din.. up to now wala na yung vertical lines na nakita ko.. and dunno if this is true, sabi ng technician is no need to update na daw yung firmware as long na wala naman problema.. puwede daw ipa update kung gusto ko.. pero sabi ko huwag na lang, happy na ako sa performance ng plasma ko.. mamaya pa update ko magkaroon nung sinasabing floating blacks.. hehehe, ayaw pa nga ituro nung technician yung service menu.. pero tinandaan ko yung pinindot niya.. pag alis niya try ko.. ayun.. kaya lang not adviseable na kalikutin ang service menu since the term "service" eh para sa technical/technician.. so at your own risk.. hehehehe  basta press off na lang pag di na alam gagawin...

same sa LCD ko.it comes and go pero most of the time nandun yung vertical line.naisip ko nga,sana pina update ko yung firmware nung pinuntahan nung tech but he was certain that it was a hardware issue at siempre di naman ako mag settle din sa ganun lang.lumabas na e yung sira e.mahirap na at baka bumalik balik lang din. buti nakuha ko na yung replacement kanina.sana naman ok na.pagod na ako e.  :P

Suggest to keep a camera nearby, set the settings camera to have a date/time stamp when getting pictures, pag litaw ng lines get a picture para in case na dumating yung technician at wala yung line e me maipapakita kayo na pasulpot sulpot lang yung problem.

Kung maari include a part ng set-up nyo (table / hometheater) para makita na sa tv nyo talaga sya lumalabas.

thanks for sharing, bro. could it be na hindi hardware ang problem? sabi kasi nung tech nung unang tingin niya eh hardware problem na daw kaya ni recommend niya kaagad for replacement. medyo bothered lang ako kasi nasabi niya na buti na lang eh 2 months pa lang at na report na, kung mga 3 months na daw eh repair lang ang gagawin at hindi replace.nagtaka ako kasi under warranty naman for 2 yrs at wala akong nabasa na ganung condition.

so far, hindi na lumabas yung vertical line. tumawag din sa akin yung robinson kahapon, wala pa daw stock. pero ipapa replace ko pa din, sayang eh.

Yung sa akin naman nag try ako first time playing movie with the USB slot, using a Kingston 8GB, with an mkv file na movie with a 7.32GB size eh pagdating sa middle part ng movie eh huminto at lumitaw sa screen "NEW DEVICE CONNECTED" di ko alam what happened kung dahil sa sobrang laki ng file na halos mapuno na yung USB.. ang ginawa ko format ko yung USB then nilagyan ko ulit ng another file with a 3.96GB na lang, also an mkv file.. pero ganun na naman after kalagitnaan ng movie humito at lumitaw ulit yung "NEW DEVICE FOUND".. by the way i am using a CD-R king USB extension cord para di na ako kalikot ng kalikot sa likod ng TV since naka wall mount ito at medyo masikip lugar.. what could the culprit? the USB storage or the extension cord.. mamaya will try to watch the same file without the extension cord and we'll see.. hindi kaya yung media player naman ng unit ko... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

late this afternoon.. pinanood ko ulit yung movie using the same USB slot but this time without the CD-R king extension cord and it works fine hanggang sa matapos ko yung movie.. hanggang sa bonus clips eh flawless.. so it might be the cord.. mamaya try ko ulit manood with the extension cord.. pag huminto alam ko na sagot.. what i want to test sa built in media player ng samsung eh yung decoding nya ng DTS at Dolby using an optical cable.. hanap muna ako ng isa pang optical cable.. di abot yung lumang optical cable ko..

and one last thing.. talaga bang mas mainit yung panel kesa sa likod ng plasma? pakiramdam ko kasi pag lumalapit ako sa screen eh parang ramdam ko yung init.. pag hinipo ko naman yung backpanel eh hindi naman ganun kainit.. normal lang kaya yung ganun?

meron akong 320GB na HDD na may mahabang USB cable, pag kinakabit ko sa tv na ito eh minsan parang na d-disconnect pero yung 1TB ko eh hindi naman ganun. pinalitan ko nga ng mas maikling USB cable, so far eh ok naman.

normal na talaga sa plasma (maski nga sa LCD) na mas mainit ang panel. pero pag well ventilated ang area mo eh hindi ganun kainit. sa room namin na hindi gano maganda ventilation at pag hindi naka on ang aircon eh mas mainit ang panel compared sa sala namin na medyo maluwag at madaming windows. wag lang to a point na mapapaso ka na hehe dun may problem yun.

Bought mine sa Western sa Sta Lucia Mall kanina. After weeks of waiting and searching (ubos na kahit saan. Even sa SNS na tagal ko hinintay hehe coz 30k ang cash price.) Anyway, mukang para sa akin talaga ito kanina...got it for 28,800k. Free 2 3d glasses and bluray na bd5100. However, talagang mga 1st wk ng January pa makukuha. Dun na rin sa Western.

Fyi, sana pasok pa rin sa blupass promo ng samsung ito. The salesman assured me naman na that's the case coz i bought it before dec31. :-) sana.

By the way, PQ and 3D mode exceeded my expectations :-) hindi halata mashado ang 720p lang coz 43" naman sha eh. Ok rin bluray movies thru PS3. :-)

My free samsung bd5100 bluray player arrived via courier yesterday :-) with free blupass pa siya ( bluray rental) pero im thinking if benta ko na lang ito tutal its not a 3D bluray player and sarado pa ung box. And im using my ps3 naman as my 3d player. Hmmm. :-).

Nagtry ako magplay ng downloaded movies sa external hard drive ng kaibigan ko, 500gb, hindi siya nadedetect when used with my USB extension cable from CD-R King.. pero umilaw yung hard drive.. then try ko ng walang extension cable and it was detected.. sayang mas prefer ko sana ang may extension cable para di ko na kinakapa yung slot sa likod ng plasma.. is there a difference using a branded extension cable compared sa CD-R king cable? it seems na parang tingin ko kinakapos ng supply since 1.5meter ang ginamit ko..

And bakit unsupported audio codec minsan ang lumalabas? maayos ba ito ng update ng firmware? ano ano po bang format ang supported ng built in media player ng samsung plasma?

Nagtry ako magplay ng downloaded movies sa external hard drive ng kaibigan ko, 500gb, hindi siya nadedetect when used with my USB extension cable from CD-R King.. pero umilaw yung hard drive.. then try ko ng walang extension cable and it was detected.. sayang mas prefer ko sana ang may extension cable para di ko na kinakapa yung slot sa likod ng plasma.. is there a difference using a branded extension cable compared sa CD-R king cable? it seems na parang tingin ko kinakapos ng supply since 1.5meter ang ginamit ko..

And bakit unsupported audio codec minsan ang lumalabas? maayos ba ito ng update ng firmware? ano ano po bang format ang supported ng built in media player ng samsung plasma?

Thanks in advance...



most video files naman nag play naman sa akin pati nga yung .mkv na may DTS audio. pwera lang yung real media videos. nasa manual (hardcopy or e-manual) kung ano-ano ang supported files. baka latest version pa yung firmware mo, no use in upgrading it.

baka may sira na talaga yung cd-r king usb cable mo, minsan kasi pag nababaluktot mga cables eh may tendency na may maputol inside. try mo muna humiram ng ibang usb extension cable.

or try to use your BD player as your media player instead yung built-in sa tv, pansin mo mas maganda picture quality because may upscaling capability yung bd player. kaya minsan ko na lang gamitin yung built-in player, pag hindi magandang movie lang hehe.

Mga sir, I'm planning to buy this tv. May nakaka-experience pa po ba ng image retention/burn in sa set na 'to?
Ok po kaya 'to for gaming? Kasi inaaalala ko baka ma-stock 'yong life bar for example naglaro ng God of War ng matagal. Salamat po!

Kung papipiliin po kayo, which is better Samsung PS43D490 or Sony Bravia BX420 Series? Will use it for prolonged gaming, some movies and television shows.

Salamat po!

i think if you read from the first page masasagot na most ng mga tanong mo  ;)

kung mas lamang talaga ang gaming usage go with the Sony na lang. at least kampante ka na hindi magkakaroon ng image retention etc na kinatatakot mo if you use a plasma panel

How do you play a downloaded movies sa USB port ng plasma if i want to play it with a subtitle enabled.. paano ka pipili kung yung movie contains different subtitles.. and how do you select the audio formats kung yung pagkakadownload ko contains multiple audio and different language.. i've encountered dun sa isang movie eh naka default yung audio in thailand.. pangatlo yung DTS english.. paano ko ise-select?

Thanks in advance...

If I'm not mistaken, you can select Audio from Tools in the remote.  I was able to do this when I tested a similar unit in Abenson, though I don't remember exactly where.  For the subtitle, it didn't play subtitles embedded in the mkv file, as mine had subtitles set as default but wasn't displayed.  I think it will only detect a separate subtitle (i.e. srt extension) file stored in the same folder as the video, not those inside the mkv file.

Just got my unit yesterday. All I can say is... "Amazing!!!"
Medyo bitin pa lang ang sa kulay kasi naka movie mode and I lowered contrast and brightness to 45 for breaking in.

sakin 200hrs ang binuno ko, contrast and brightness below 50, watch normally basta lagi lang dapat fullscreen. kung local channel viewing as much as possible switch to other channels kapag ads, para lang hindi magtagal sa screen yung mga station logos.

most say 100hrs pede na, ginawa ko lang 200hrs sakin para mas sure ako  :D after break-in pede ka na magchillax and after calibration tyak mas lalo kang mapapaWOW sa unit mo.  ;D

In my case, 1st few days conscious ako sa pag break in...pero after a few days, medyo hinayaan ko na lang. Even pag ung channels my logo symbols na fixed, no burn  issues naman...siguro totoo na talaga ung sinasabi na latest/ new plasmas no longer are prone to burn ins. And coz of that, no longer needs breaking in. IMO lang naman, based sa set ko. So far no issues bout video quality :-).Pero baka nakatulong rin na ang set up ko, both sa tv and bluray is for lowlight. Bedroom setup kasi.

IMO lang naman, based sa set ko. So far no issues bout video quality :-).

Nagpunta kanina dito 'yong Samsung technician ng Cavite para i-wall mount ang D490 ko. Inayos ang arrangement ng channel pero tinanggal lahat ng break in settings ko. Tinanong ko kung kailangan pa ba i-break in. Sabi hindi na dahil 2011 model na naman daw. Well... enjoy ko na lang TV set ko. Watch lang ng TV series and movies with my wife and very light gaming hanggang wala pa'ng 3 months ang unit ko.

Tinanong ko rin kung bakit nagkakaroon ng vertical line... dahil daw 'yon pag nakidlatan. Inadvice niya sa 'kin to use AVR and pag gaming daw, sa 110v ko isaksak para minimal ang heat. I followed it, hope its for the best.

when we're watching cable viewing in broad daylight (standard setting) cell light=7, contrast=50, brightness=45, sharpness=55, color=50. My wife and I normally watch movies during week ends pag mejo madilim na like around 530pm onwards nag aadjust lang ako ng konti para maging intense yung pinapanood namin cell light=9, contrast=60, and the rest are the same. pero pag 3d (dynamic mode) 18 ang cell light, contrast is 90 brightness is 55 sharpness is 60 color 55. sa ganyan ko lang sya napapansin na umiinit ang screen which may result to screen burn pag napabayaan (imo).

hindi ba masama na isaksak sa 110v? kasi pede mo minimize ang heat ng plasma (screen) by lowering your settings.

thanks for sharing, bro. could it be na hindi hardware ang problem? sabi kasi nung tech nung unang tingin niya eh hardware problem na daw kaya ni recommend niya kaagad for replacement. medyo bothered lang ako kasi nasabi niya na buti na lang eh 2 months pa lang at na report na, kung mga 3 months na daw eh repair lang ang gagawin at hindi replace.nagtaka ako kasi under warranty naman for 2 yrs at wala akong nabasa na ganung condition.

so far, hindi na lumabas yung vertical line. tumawag din sa akin yung robinson kahapon, wala pa daw stock. pero ipapa replace ko pa din, sayang eh.

forgot to update, last sunday lang napalitan yung tv ko. actually dapat nung saturday pa may available unit na sila, pero when I checked the number of hours nun panel eh nagulat ako nasa 621 hours na! tinawag ko sa samsung and sabi ko eh hindi ko tatanggapin yun, pinalitan naman nila nung sunday hindi ko alam kung ni-reset lang yata nila hahaha. anyway, at least after almost 3 weeks eh napalitan na, although hindi na din lumabas ulit ang vertical line sa old panel ko.

afaik, auto-volt naman ang most lcd,led & plasma kaya no problem (dapat) kung isaksak sa 110v.

as for the settings, try niyo ibaba yung sharpness to between 10-20 lang, for me mas maganda at nababawasan ang jagged edges or yung parang pixelized.

sa color naman, nasa 27-30 lang sa akin, mas natural ang skin tones IMO lang

yung unit na may 621 hours na.. may plastic pa ba yung bezel, yung pinaka frame na itim? kapag wala na most likely displayed unit na ito.. ganun din yung dapat na unang plasma ko.. nung check ko yung display hours 897 hours na... hindi ko din kinuha.. naghintay ako ng ilang oras sa Automatic Centre for another unit and i made it sure na nasa tabi ko yung unang unit.. nag alala din ako na baka pag pinasok sa loob eh i-reset lang nila.. ayun so far nakuha ko wala pang 1hour yung panel time..

Dun sa 110/220Volt issue.. i think pareho lang ang magiging temperature ng unit regardless kung sa 110 o 220 mo ito isaksak.. iba kasi yung input sa output.. kahit bigyan mo ng 110 o 220 yung input niya, either way ang labas sa output niya is yung needed voltage ng board at panel.. kasi i think kung this is an issue eh di sana lahat ginawa ng 110V ng mga manufacturer ang mga unit nila para di mag init.. minsan akala lang natin na mas magaan ang load para sa unit kung gagawing 110V pero ang di natin alam eh 110V nga pero yung nasasayang naman na kuryente sa transformers eh minsan mas malaki pa kesa kung directly plug sa 220V.. lalo na kung ang gagamitin mong transformers eh mataas ang wattage.. just my two cents.. not sure kung tama.. tingin ko lang naman

Kung heat.. i think tama si bluesboy.. lower lang ang settings and it will do just fine.. kasi pag regular cable viewing lang ako naka movie mode lang and pansin ko di ganun kainit yung likod at panel.. pero kapag nanood ako ng HD-movies naka dynamic or standard ako pansin ko medyo mainit yung panel... as in parang may lagnat..
