I haven't seen discussions about the Sharp Aquos LCD TV's here in Pinoydvd. Do we have members here who own this model? If so, kamusta naman ang performance nya? I'm looking into the possibility of purchasing the 32inch model at 95999php (cash payment)/99,999(credit card that can be broken down to 6/12/24 months deffered payments). Plus you get the wall bracket free, a 21" TV, and a 30Gig Ipod Video.
Ok kaya itong deal na ito? My obeservation kasi is most members in this forum are leaning torwards the samsung LCD Tv, which is a little bit expensive compared to Aquos.
Thanks!

I own a Sharp Aquos for 2 years now. I only have a 20 inch model (am in condo unit) which at the time cost 100k. No regrets... great performance viewing DVDs, but I needed to connect signal booster to enhance cable TV viewing. I compared this to Sony, Samsung and other models, my personal opinion best in picture quality.
I'm considering buying a bigger size Aquos when I move in to a bigger place and when the prices have stabilized a bit.
-
thanks for sharing your feedback. Actually what's stopping me from buying the Aquos is the potential decrease of prices of LCD Tv's next year (Im not sure if this information is true). I don't want the feeling of being commited to pay for 12 months tapos biglang bagsak presyo ;D
Buy or wait, that is the question.

I was looking at this one also and I auditioned a couple of tv's yesterday. Narrowed down my choice to Sharp LC-32BX5M, the 32" Toshiba Regza and Samung 32" na Sonoma/Bordeaux (I did not consider the 32" Sony Bravia S Series kasi it will break my 100K barrier hehehe) but still deciding on this kasi hindi ko rin magagamit I will be out of the country for two months baka hintayin ko na rin lang ang price drop. Sabi rin sa Western Megamall na nagbebenta sakin ng Toshiba baka daw gusto kong maghintay kasi may lalabas na bagong model with a faster response (6ms) and better looking frame :D Kaya lang kasi sayang din yung mga libre ang hirap magdecide tuloy :-[ There's also a lower model LC-32AX5M at Abenson Shangrila priced at 83K (without anything free). Same features of BX5M minus PIP and PC input.

hi, jus went to rp yesterday and ask the abenson guy about sharp LC-32AX5M compared to sonoma of samsung. sbi nya ang samsung is only 1megapixel wyl sharp is about 3megapixel daw.. also iv notice dat the contrast ratio of sharp is only 800:1 and sonoma is 3000:1. sbi nya rin mas mataas daw ang reponse time ng sharp..?? can some1 clarify this..? thanks!
nalito tuloy ako which one to choose.. what i like about samsung is meron na sya hdmi connection.
-
3 megapixels? No such thing yet for LCD TVs. Full HD or 1020p is 2 megapixels only.

I've been told the same thing about the TV being 3MP. It's even in their brochure. hmmmm buti nalang na mention nyo. Research ulit

There's always the risk of cheaper price within the next 12 months but if Aquos selling strategy is unlike the others: Samsung, SONY, etc that every year they will release different models...and it seems each newer model is better than the other, etc. Otherwise, do expect a price drop but probably not as much as the other brands....like flys dropping :-[
For example, I bought my SONY HDTV in Jan 2006. Within the next 2 months, it droped by P20,000. By Dec, the price dives to the lowest ravine & I lose out almost P40,000 in total....& I'm still having completed my installment payment pa! >:(
Anyway, in a way I'm glad I took the plunge as I've enjoyed watching all my nice DVD collection in a widescreen coupled with an upconverting DVD player to match my display native resolution ;)

I'm using an old SONY DVD player model DVP-NS92V which can upconvert SD DVD to either 720p or 1080i :)

that's the reason why i didn't buy in to the promo. Computations will say that you're paying for the supposedly free items.

I do not own a sharp Aqos but my brother in the states bought one 3 years ago. It was a 37 inch unit. He loves the TV and is now buying another one. The next one will be between 45 to 47 inches I think. The picture for HD and DVD was GREAT when I viewed it last year. But....In the local market after comparing various products I personally loved the Newest Sony X series which is full 1080p with all the bells and whistles you could want. . But it cost way much more than the Aquos.
In HK I recently saw the full new line up of Aquos 1080 p , the Samsung 1080, the Sony and all the rest. I loved the sony but the aquos was also verrrrry good. Cheaper price tag in Hong Kong as opposed to the phillies :-\

All the promotions around get you to buy a TV and then get "vouchers" offering discounts on many other items but you must add more cash in most cses to buy. But If you intended to buy all those items in the first place then the deal is fairly attractive. In my opinion many of the companies are offering thopse deals to clear there shelves for the 2007 models which are now 1080P as opposed to the 720p now in the market?
One company offered me an exceptional deal on Sony TV's using these vouchers and thes are 1080P as well as the other models. They also carry other brands as well. The store was sights and sounds fourth floor in Shangrila plaza.

No doub that prices will drop big time...20% -30% or more more for all HD tvs over the next months/year. It is the same with all new technologies in all industries.

Just checked the price of the 32" aquos after the promo and it's now down to 69k. The promo last xmas was 99k (includes a 21 inch tv and 30 gig ipod video)
-
does this mean start na bumaba ang prices ng mga lcd's? ::)
or should we wait some more... :-[
-
Sana sumunod din ang Samsung etc. :D
-
in the samsung thread, sabi daw hahabol si samsung next month ;D
-
Mukang mapapaaga pagbili ko. ;D
-
baket puro samsung hanap nyo..?? does dis mean hindi maganda ang sharp..
feedbak naman about sharp compare sa samsung.. thanks! :-[
-
Sa totoo lang mas gusto ko tong Sharp kasi mas maganda mga nababasa ko RE this TV sa mga pinupuntahan kong site. Mas mura nga lang kasi yung Samsung kaya siguro mas marami din may gusto. Hehe.

amen
wala pa yan cash discount mwahaha
-
Yes, if everything else being equal or meet your requirements, then go for the bigger display size! ;)
Or if you're really worry which model will yield better PQ, bring along your upscale DVD player, calibration disc & a few demo DVDs. Judge the quality with your own eyes. If both models have similar result then it's still better to go for a bigger size! :D

That's almost 25k saving...looks like a good deal. Good hunting to your new HD display ekswind ;)
-
ekswind, anson or abenson?
-
if youre just going to watch cable tv/regular dvd go for the smaller size..
if you have a decent scaler or hd players go for the 37".
from my experience...nakakainis manuod ng cable/dvd sa malaking tv kung pangit ang scaler...
-
ekswind, anson or abenson?
Anson pala
I got 32BX5m sayang mas mahal yun 32BX6m pag la yun freebies
Thanks to Jhomar (Sharp sales rep Ansons)

i couldn't agree more.. have you ever wondered why these dealers are giving a lot of freebies?? it's precisely this reason, or another could be is that nobody is buying that particular model or brand... i heard from one of these international business news is that manufacturers of LCD's and plasma will increase production (also with better specs) by so much percent thus flooding the market ergo: PRICE DROP.... you may have the best today, how about tomorrow?? technology never stops... just my two cents po..
-
i was just at MOA the other week and saw this models at SM appliance store i think:
sharp 32BX5M for P75,000
sharp 37BX5M for P95,000
seems like a good value already. just don't know if it came with any significant freebies.
-
I want your guys opinions. Is the Sharp aquos lcd a better buy than the Sony bravia s series seeing how it has more the 3million pixels as opposed to the Sony bravia's 1 megapixel count? Also the Sharp has a faster response time of 6ms as compared to the 8ms of the Sony. Shouldn't the picture quality of the Sharp lcd be better than that of the Sony? Or am I missing something here? Hoping for some feedback before I get my lcd tv. Thanks in advance!

I've never heard of a "3 million pixel" TV.
Full HD is 1,920 pixels x 1,080 pixels. 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600. Rounded off, that's 2 million pixels or 2 megapixels. If the highest resolution source is 2mp, why make an LCD panel with a 3mp resolution? The TV will have to upconvert the signal, which would probably produce a worse picture.
There are LCD panels with resolutions of up to 6mp, but they're for medical use (such as digital x-rays), not consumer TVs.
-
i think they do. the brochure says 1366x768x3 = 3.1 mp. that's one each for R,G, and B.
-
If so, then the brochure fails to distinguish between a pixel and a subpixel.
1,366 x 768 = 1,049,088. Rounded off, that's 1 million pixels. 1 million pixels x 3 for each R, G and B = 3 million subpixels, not 3 million pixels.
A megapixel is 1 million pixels, not 1 million subpixels.
-
Any review of Sharp's 37AX5M LCD?
Thanks.
-
seen this model in gateway for P69,999. seen a better deal somewhere?

If you mean the 32AX5M, it can be P65K at Abenson, Festival Mall, just try to haggle ;D
I was referring to the 37" 37AX5M model, which can be P99.999K for 12 months 0% interest.

I just came from Abensons in Robinsons Galleria and the salesman is offering me the Sharp 37BX5M for only 89998, 0% interest 12 months to pay w/ free wall mount. Cash price is 83500. Seems like a pretty
good deal. However, I am wondering how does it perform with cable? Anyone who has bought this unit?
I would like to hear your feedbacks before purchasing it. On the other hand I am also looking at the new
Toshiba Regza 37wl68e. This is supposed to be a 100hz model and has 2 tuners and pip. I was also wondering if the cable broadcast would be better than other lcds brands like Philips and Sony. However this unit it also more expensive at 98000 Cash at Fair & Square. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone seen the px5m model here in the Philippines? I looked it up in the net and it looks sweet!
BTW, I continue hearing about the problem of Sharp after sales service. Anyone care to comment on what exactly the problem is?
-
Has anyone seen the px5m model here in the Philippines? I looked it up in the net and it looks sweet!
the 37" px5m is on display at western and sm appliance in megamall. they're around 10k more expensive than the bx5m models. they now have a piano black finish. back panel for the input connections are now open unlike in the bx series which has a cover. pq looks a bit sharper than the bx series when i checked at western. unfortunately they had px hooked up via hdmi while the bx beside it was on component. ;D
-
Any comment on after sales? Im just wondering if the problem is that they are difficult to deal with, are not able to fix the problem or whether it just takes a long time to fix anything. At any rate, what are the usual problems?
-
i was interested with the 37 inch lcd but picture quality is not good when i demoed it side by side with philips and toshiba. besides, i have been hearing bad feedback about their after sales so i decided to go with another brand.
-
i have been hearing bad feedback about their after sales...
Is there a separate thread on bad Sharp Aquos after sales service? Tempting na talaga yung LC-37BX5M. They just lowered it down further to 85k now, with 12-month 0% interest (no freebies except for wall mount). I'm sure cash buyers will have further discounts.
So far, ito na talaga yung best deal na nakita ko, among the big name, reputable brands. I hope someone can shed some light with the "bad after sales service".
-
Made the big leap to flat panel, LCD TV technology. Got the Sharp Aquos 37BX5M last Saturday night. Been in break in mode all day yesterday. Really great panel, so far I'm very satisfied with it.
Bahala na yung bad rep nila about after sales service. ??? I'm hoping the unit is durable enough for me not to need any, in the next few years.

Sir,
Kumusta the reception sa cable ng Sharp 37bx5m. Am also looking at this unit since it is about 85K sa sm appliance 12 months 0% interest. Am also looking at the 37px5m about 100K 12 months 0% interest. This new model supposedly has a 6000:1 contrast ratio as against the 1200:1 contrast ratio of the bx5m model. But is it worth the extra 15K?

Bros, please dont get confused between dynamic contrast ratio and static contrast ratio. That is like comparing 2 quantities with different units, say, as in feet against meter. In fact, if your maker could give you the living room contrast ratio, that is actually more meaningful as that is measured in approximately 150-300 lux of illumination.
Right now, the highest static contrast ratio in the LCD HDTV market is that of Sharp Aquos R series at 3000:1. I think that has dynamic contrast ratio of up to 10000:1 but in real viewing conditions of 200 lux, it is rated at 1300:1 which should be excellent under such well lit area.
A Sharp model with 1200:1 static contrast ratio will have a living room contrast ratio of 550:1. I think the 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 1200:1 static contrast ratio LCD panels are nearly the same class, if not the same. If the P series is equivalent to the D series in Japan, then its static contrast ratio is 1500:1.

Unfortunately, wala pa kami cable. :o Using my trusty Baron antenna, mas malinaw yung TV reception nung ABC5 on my Aquos, over my 3-year old LG Flatron 29" CRT. I was so surprised. So I'm a very happy owner of the 37BX5M.
If contrast ratio is the sole difference for the 15k, then forget it. The BX series have more than enough contrast at 1200:1. Use the 15 for a good upscaling DVD player, and HDMI cable (and use the remaining cash for a lifetime supply of popcorn). ;D
I'm surprised you found an SM appliance giving you that price. I just looked at their prices prior to my purchase, and they were 10k more expensive. Di pa sila flexible. :(

They just lowered their prices last Sunday. I came from SM Megamall and went to the Mall of Asia today. Both branches have 37bx5m at 85k 12 months and 37px5m and 37bx6m at 100k for 12 months also. However, these are without any freebies aside from the wall mount. You can get the table stand for an additional 1999. I am having trouble deciding between a Hitachi 37ld9800ta at 98000 cash, a Toshiba 37wl68e at 95000 cash and the Sharp Aquos. Both the Hitachi and Toshiba can be found in Sights and Sounds in Shangrila. The Hitachi is made in Japan and has a motorized swivel. The Toshiba is made in Indonesia and has 2 tuners and is a 100hz set. Choices...choices....

Similarly, I narrowed it down to the Aquos and the Toshiba Regza 68E series. If you have the cash, Toshiba has the best features (2-tuner split screen, 100Hz). Similar to Toshiba, the Aquos is also Japan panel, but is assembled in Indonesia. Hitachi is a full Japan import, and actually has a different type of LCD panel (hard glass). Unfortunately, Hitachi and Toshiba dropped my list since none would have an extended installment plan (18-24 months).
Try Abenson's Shang. They agreed to extend the installment to 18 months. They might give you a better cash price for the Aquos, if that's what you end up deciding on.
-
congrats Pao! I passed by SM Appliance at PowerPlant today and did see the Aquos 37bx5m being sold for P84,995 but with out any installment offers... picture looked great... scanned the other LCDs as well and was very surprised to see that most brands have really dropped their prices... the Philips 32" Ambilight is already at 69k and available at 24 months iunstallment... kuha na din kaya ako... the Aquos is really tempting - a 37" at sub 100K!
-
post kayo ng reviews ha. I'm also considering this brand/model. thanks!

Thanks Jeck. Yes, bumili ka na. Knowing how much you're earning, dapat 50" + ang bilhin mo! ;) Welcome home! Pasalubong ko?

saw ang Aquos kanina sa ATC. nasa 60k sya

Might be a 32"? If so, an officemate of mine was able to haggle the 32" for only 50k cash at Automatic Center Gateway. Don't know what negotiating techniques he did though... ;D
-
yup 32" siya.yung 32" samsung na s71 nasa 50k after haggling with avsurfer. siguro ganun din sa aquos. pero dun sa brochure nila 8k less pag cash.
-
Hi all sharp aquos gurus..
newbie here and i just want to ask do you guys know when will 1080p hit the Philippines? Im really craving for one and im so and uber desperate to order one in newegg.com already. Im eyeing for the 32GP1U Sharp Aquos. Any +/- feedbacks on it?
thanks all.
-

May i know where's Automatic Center Gateway? hmm... If your officemate got a Aquos for 50k, gawd! I can do that too. Hehe
-
Not sure Fait. Basta go to Gateway mall in Cubao. I'm sure you can ask around where the Automatic Center is. Yung officemate ko just asked around, and the sales people just gave him that last-minute offer, nung paalis na siya. He hasn't bought one yet.
As for the 1080p units, I know these are really great, pero I doubt if you can see the difference at 32" sizes. Maybe for 50" up.
Isa pa, at 32", siguro mga at least 5 feet na ang viewing distance. My viewing distance is about 10 feet, yet nung unang araw nung 37" ko, para akong nalunod sa laki. ;D Pero I'm sure sanayan lang yan. Kasi ngayon marami na akong "What if 42-inch ang binili ko" moments eh. ;)
-
4th floor ng Gateway ang Automatic Center. Katabi ng Foodcourt. ;)

Not sure Fait. Basta go to Gateway mall in Cubao. I'm sure you can ask around where the Automatic Center is. Yung officemate ko just asked around, and the sales people just gave him that last-minute offer, nung paalis na siya. He hasn't bought one yet.
As for the 1080p units, I know these are really great, pero I doubt if you can see the difference at 32" sizes. Maybe for 50" up.
Isa pa, at 32", siguro mga at least 5 feet na ang viewing distance. My viewing distance is about 10 feet, yet nung unang araw nung 37" ko, para akong nalunod sa laki. ;D Pero I'm sure sanayan lang yan. Kasi ngayon marami na akong "What if 42-inch ang binili ko" moments eh. ;)
Ohhh Gateway Mall in cubao, I know the place. Actually, the reason i am eyeing for a 1080p because Im planning to use the HDTV as my primary monitor, I need the 1920x1080 native resolution of the 1080p against my Samsung S71 1080i, its native reso is 1360x768 only which sucks a bit for a monitor because of it's large icons on desktop mode. I used the 32" Samsung as my monitor too, hehe! and im like a keyboard away from it only, my first two nights with this tv made my eyes bleed.. but you're right, sanayang lang talaga..

Thanks chief! eto ba yung katabi nung Sony? I think I saw this already couple of months ago tho hindi pa ako naghahanap ng tv that time.
Great, mura pala dito. :)

Unfortunately, wala pa kami cable. :o Using my trusty Baron antenna, mas malinaw yung TV reception nung ABC5 on my Aquos, over my 3-year old LG Flatron 29" CRT. I was so surprised. So I'm a very happy owner of the 37BX5M.
My Aquos is over 2 weeks old already, and I'm (still) very happy with it.
My warning lang for potential buyers, who plan to do a lot of TV viewing (and TV surfing). Changing channels is painfully slow. Though the unit has a 6ms response time, do not mistake this as a quick unit for channel surfing. The tuner has a terrible lag time, and it takes about 3 seconds to change channels. So forget the CH+/-, and better enter the channel numbers directly.
I'm just curious how other LCD panels perform with changing channels. For me it's a minor irritant, at least for now, while I still don't have cable subscription. I rarely watch local TV anyway.
I just can't wait to get a good deal on an upconverting DVD player (HD841 or Pio 696)...
-
Same with my Samsung S71, changing channel is really slow compared to a CRT tv, but 3 secs is hell irritant, mine takes around 1 sec unlike the CRT tv's you can jump 5 channels right away.. hehe.
-
As for the 1080p units, I know these are really great, pero I doubt if you can see the difference at 32" sizes. Maybe for 50" up.
For 32V full HD panel Sharp, you can see the difference in resolution if you watch as close as 1.2m or less than 4ft. A lot of Japanese, especially the young ones, actually have that constraint in their dwellings.
One selling point of full HD panels is shorter minimum viewing distance.

ganun talga halos lahat ng panels mabagal ang tuner ..... cheap ass tuners to save money e ...... mabuti pa yung TV tuner ko sa windows xp hehehe ang bilissssssss

uy very alarming yan ah...mga lcd owners baka pede kayo gumamit ng tv tuner external...tapos attach nyo sa lcd...baka for sure bumilis...hehehe pa update na lang kung ok.

up ko lang para sa dagdag reviews ni sir paolorenzo...interested din ako sa 37bx5m...btw double tuner ba ito?

No, single tuner lang.

Over naman yata yung unang estimates ko. Lag time for changing channels is about 1.5-2 seconds lang naman. But still considerably long.
I've been enjoying the Aquos more, ever since I bought a Pioneer DV-696AV to pair up with it. Upscaling to 1080i thru HDMI definitely improved PQ, and this setting seems to be the best fit.

Got the Sharp Aquos 37BX5M last nyt at western mega...actually 0% interest for 12mnts sya (84955.00)...pero nakuha ko sya for 18mnths, atleast medyo bumaba pa rin at 0%...well, same with pao, for me na meet naman ng sharp yung gusto ko...hoping for more improvement in a future.

Congratulations sir! You actually got a better deal from them kasi you were able to have the entire amount on 18mos (and they offered 75k cash). Enjoy your new toy!

Actually, the BX6M series is supposed to be newer, but I didn't see any real improvements over the 5M series. They also have the higher-end models from Aquos. For me, best bang-for-the-buck lang talaga yung BX5M. I think they're agressively giving discounts because this is a discontinued model, and they're just wiping out their remaining stock.
-
@paolorenzo/eijneb:
Thanks! :D Kaya pa siguro ng 70k yan if you're a good haggler. :)
-
@paolorenzo:
Are the BX6M available here already? And how much did they price it on 37" and 32"?
-
Just for the record, How much is the ff just for me to keep track of the prices for Aquos. ;)
32 and 37" BX6M
32 and 37" BX5M
32 and 37" PX5M
32 and 37" PX6M ( may ganito ba? hehe)
TIA!

I auditioned the latest (according to the rep) Sharp LCD's (piano finish) last Saturday. Forgot lang to write the model :( pero it was selling at 69,900 (zero interest 12 mths) they have the older version pa which the rep told me he can give for 54k + (this model does not have PIP). I think this model is better as compared to the latest Bordeaux when playing Matrix Reloaded, although kapag slow moving movie halos pareho lang (but again I am not a guru in these things ;) ). If only they can offer premium items and longer terms to make them competitive. Ang most significant selling point according to the rep is their Japan Panel ;).
-
@paolorenzo:

Sorry, wasn't able to take note of the prices. Basta alam ko is it's more expensive, and whatever the added features were (contrast ratio probably), it didn't merit the additional cost. So I dropped the BX6M from my list almost immediately.
...they have the older version pa which the rep told me he can give for 54k + (this model does not have PIP).
You're probably referring to the AX5M series. No PIP, 1HDMI, no PC input.

Im dropping the 37BX6M too, it didn't pass my taste comparing it to 37PX5M.
Now, my choices boils down to 32V200A, R81B and 37PX5M. :D
Help me przzzz! My primary concern is to use it as a Monitor. :)

@ paolorenzo
sir ano best settings pag dvd(movie) ang gamit? since pareho tayo ng aquos...just curious baka meron ok na tweaks settings, btw im using pio DV-490 attached to hdmi, pansin ko lang kse pag widescreen movie yung naka play meron half an inch na black bars sa ibaba ng screen, normal ba na hindi talaga occupied yung whole screen kahit na widescreen format na movie? or meron ako need to configure para totally ma occupy yung screen? so far ito lang napansin ko.
update review:
base sa mga nabasa ko dito sa forum regarding sa lcd panel, laking tulong!, hindi naman po ako ganon ka-professional when it come to video, ang masasabi ko lang for 1 week using of aquos 37BX5M, THE BEST TALAGA! kahit cable broadcast ganda rin ng output basta straight cable papuntang main source ang ganda ng signal nyan.
thanks and more power to PinoyDvd

Depende sa time of watching. My family room is well lighted kasi, so I tend to use Dynamic often (and meron pa ako USER settings na mas maliwanag pa -- 8 yata setting nung backlight, 30 for brightness). I rarely use Movie setting kasi sobrang dilim, I often lose a lot of picture details.
Normal yung half-inch black bars. Hindi 16:9 yung ratio nung widescreen movie. There's a separate thread on 2:35:1 widescreen ratio.
Glad to know you're loving your Aquos. So am I. ;D

Any idea where I can get the WinXP drivers for my Aquos LC-37BX5M? Wala pa ako time to surf extensively, baka sakali meron na kayo dyan? All I'm using now is the generic Plug N Play Monitor driver of Windows. All Sharp websites aren't very helpful either.
Appreciate any help on this.

Approached Sharp support by email. Wala pala talaga WinXP drivers needed. :-\
Dear Sir,
Good morning!
In reference to your inquiry, SHARP LC-37BX5M is a plug n play monitor. Once you connect your desktop or laptop computer on the LCD TV, the unit automatically detects the signal from your computer, thus, no need for any driver. Please refer to your operation manual for the list of resolution because there are some high resolution set-up that are not compatible with our SHARP LCD TV.
If you have further inquiries, you may contact us at (02) 807-9184.
Thank you for patronizing our LCD TV product.

Yes. I originally was gong to buy the samsung r81 but when the tech guy at abensons cubao (old) rustans informed me that sharp had just released the 32px5m model on sale, i suddenly changed my mind. I went to automatic center at rustans gateway since they had one on display and compared and tested side by side with the samsung. I agree that the sharp scored better. This model also comes bundled with a free 32" inch crt tv.
I got two panels. One for myself and the other for my brod in law but he got the new promo from LG, a LG-32LC3R. I think this is another brand that one should look into since the specs are very good. Display was clear and nice. Design wise it uses the same design as the Philips - double panels with tempered glass protecting the lcd panel, most lcd tv's will exhibit a streaking phenomena whenever you run your finger and apply pressure across the screen. The LG and Philips is protected with a double tempered glass panel to prevent this. Good if you have plenty of kids around and don't intend to wall-mount your unit. The LG uses a DCDI-Faroudja chip which is the best chip for upscaling and video manipulation and is used in the more expensive a/v amplifiers such as denon. This unit comes with a free 10 cu ft 2 door frost free ref if you buy cash price or thru straight payment with your card.

Sharp fans,
I'm looking to buy my first LCD TV (hopefully this week) and have so far narrowed by choice down to these 2 LCDs.
-- Sharp Aquos 37PX5M (95T Cash at Western Megamall) -- Japan Panel daw accoriding to salesman (how true?)
-- Samsung 37R81B (not sure how much though)
Which you do think is better?
Thanks

...i been using my aquos 37BX5M for almost 2 1/2 week from now...so far when it comes to picture quality, for me its the best! during day 1 medyo parang may napansin ako stranged sound coming from the back of my LCD...its like a "CLICKING SOUND" cguro i think every 20sec after my lcd was turning off...since my first ever lcd tv, hindi ko pinansin kse akala ko effect yon pag nag cool down na yung lcd after use, tapos every weekend ko pa sya nagagamit, kaya lang everytime na ginagamit ko sya hindi nawawala yung clicking sound...and then after 2 weeks i called-up sharp para to check it out kung ano problema...well yesterday sharp personel visit my place and then narinig niya yung clicking sound ng lcd...after nya i-check yung unit sabi nya tawagan ko daw sya tomorrow kase iinform nya sa talagang technician yung mga napansin nya ??? tapos kanina i already talked to technician regarding nga sa problema ko...and he had to many things to consider like:
1) "baka daw sa pagkaka-wall mount" (my answer is: may 18, ko nabili yung unit and since day 1 narinig ko na sya...last sunday ko lang ginawa yung wall mount...so basically hindi sa wall mount)
2) "baka daw sa ilaw na blue light flourescent na naka lagay sa likod" (my answer is: hindi nag ke-create ng heat yung blue light na nasa likod)
3) "Baka daw may maluwag na screw sa likod ng lcd"
so in-short pupuntahan ulit tomorow yung unit ko and this time dalawa na silang technician, why dalawa sila? might as well sabi ng kausap ko na technician, baka iopen nila yung unit ko para ma check yung clicking sound.
i think dapat hindi nila pwede gawin yon since wala pang 1 month yung unit.
tama ba na gawin nila yon? do i need to demand for new replacement since na baka lang defective yung unit ko?
sa mga BX5M aquos owner, meron ba kayo na-encounter na clicking sound sa likod ng unit nyo?
what is the best thing that i can do? aba napaka expensive ng unit nila tapos meron pala hidden problem ito.

I don't have an aquos pero kung sa akin nangyari yun, pakiusapan ko sila na palitan nila ang unit especially kung major part yung papalitan. Siguro kung minor tweaks lang ok lang pero kung bubuksan at may papalitan sa loob na maselan na parte, better ask for a replacement kasi malaking investment din ang LCD. Yung 3 week old samsung ko na may dead pixels, pinalitan nila ang unit. Pero siguro depende kung ano ang conditions ng warranty.

I also have a slight click with my unit. I really wouldn't worry much about it. Opening up your unit will introduce all sorts of other problems.

I'm interested to see how Sharp's after sales will handle this as I am looking to purchase a Aquos 37PX5M soon (well still deciding between this and the Samsung 37R81B).
Hope this will result in a happy ending for you. Let us know how it this turns out. Good luck!
-
I just spoke to a friend from Singapore. There's a Great Singapore sale now and the Sharp Aquos is selling for S$699 -- that's just 22k pesos! And it's also the 37" model. Nakakainggit.
-
I'm also considering the 37PX5M and the 37R81B. Anyone had the chance to see them side-by-side?
-
I'm considering the Aquos 37PX5M together with the Samsung 37R81B.
Samsung has a very good reputation for customer service.
Somebody mentioned about the bad customer service of Sharp. Can anybody share their actual experiences so that would be buyers of this brand will know what they will be dealing with after buying.
With my recent bad experience with another brand, it really made me realize the importance of customer service. And it is now part of my criteria for the the selection my replacement unit.
Although we wish we will never need servicing, we will never be sure what will happen. It helps if we already picked one that will give us some confidence. Bad customer service can really give you sleepness nights and anxiety ;D
So please share your experience with the customer service of Sharp, good or bad. Thanks.

JVM,
You can view demo units at Automatic Center (Glorietta). They have a 37R81B and a 42PX5M (not 37) there but not beside each other. Which one are you leaning towards? I'm still on the fence between the Samsung 37R81B and the 37PX5M as well.

I got the chance to test them both yesterday. Kaya lang nga di side-by-side talaga. Leaning ako towards the 40/37PX5M in terms of PQ, based on yesterday's demo. Pero wala kasi yong Samsung rep, kaya di ko ma-adjust sa gusto ko yong 40R81B, kaya di pa beyond reasonable doubt na better nga sa PQ ang 37PX5M. The sound of the R81 is so bad that at a little over 50% of its volume, it is already distorted. The 37PX5M while the sound is not as good too, at least I did not hear distortion at the same volume level.
Sa customer service na lang magkakatalo. Kaya ako nagtatanong dito kung kumusta ang service ng Sharp. Samsung kasi have a good reputation about CS.
Saka warranty pala. Sa hardwarezone, Singapore, nabasa ko na 7 days lang ang replacement warranty ng Sharp para sa dead pixel replacement. Dito kaya sa atin? Di ko na busisi masyado yong Sharp rep kahapon kasi naka-focus ako sa PQ.
The price is a bit lower for the 37PX5M at Anson's, ATC : 37PX5M = 97K 18mos, 37R81B = 98K 18mos.
-
Let me know which one you end up getting. :D
-
mga sir may quote sakin yung Saver's ng 55k for LC-32BX6M. tanong ko lang kung ok na 'to?
-
Let me know which one you end up getting. :D
I ended with the Samsung 40S81. By virtue of Samsung's reputation for good customer service and screen size too, 37-in is small for me since I came from 42-in plasma. I would have liked to get the 42PX5M or the 40R81, but for 20k+ more, I can't stretch that much more.
I was able to audition these 3 models side-by-side. The R81 and PX5M have similar picture quality, richer colors and better black, than the S81. But the difference is not that big as the price difference suggests. I would have gotten the R81 if only have 20K more. But practically speaking, I am satisfied with the S81.
Anyway, sa bahay wala ka na mapagkumparahan, kaya ok na rin

I got the 40S81 for 120K at Anson's ATC. Noong una hanggang 125K lang daw, coming from 129,900 na SRP. Nagsawa na yata sa mukha ko kapupunta don, kasi di ako maka-decide kung ano kukunin kung kapalit ng hate-achi ko dati, kaya binaba na ;D.
Walang 42-in, 46-in na susunod sa 40-in.

after 1 1/2wks of waiting, sharp replaced my Aquos 37BX5M this afternoon...nagtagal ng ilang araw kse nahirapan ako mag-decide kung ano brand/model ang ipapalit ko, before kse balak ko mag change ng LCD brand, kaya lang biglang nagailangan ako ng budget for my other business, so until yesterday finally nagdecide na ko, since sharp alabang and western marketing are very supportive at hindi naman sila nagpabaya ng customer, naisip ko na same model na lang din ang kunin ko, i even got a change to have a 37PX5M as a replacement kaya lang meron mas priority, anyway maganda naman yung PQ ng BX5M, konting black levels lang yung differents ng PX5M vs BX. now im starting to add tweak again on my LCD :D sana ok na ito.
SHARP ALABANG & WESTERN MARKETING highly recommended. thanks

Got the 37PX5M this time as my 3rd replacement, because i endup again for another 2nd defective sharp aquos 37bx5m, Malas ako yata i think sa BX series, although for me doon sa naunang unit ko the only problem i encountered is yung clicking sound, the rest of the qualities i need for a good lcd ok naman, after my 2nd unit was arrived and replaced, day 1 pa lang madami na akong nakitang mga problema, medyo dumami pa nga, the clicking sound was there again, PLUS. . . bad PQ, hindi ko ma tweak yung color, kulang sa black level, pixelation always visible and the last is no sound coming from HDMI connection, weird!
2 sharp personel visited my place to check my unit again, 1 technical from alabang and 1 area manager, this time pareho sila nagulat, kase even if my HT is on tapos average volume ng reciever ko is 25db eh still naririnig nila yung clicking sound coming from behind of lcd, so on the spot they agreed for another 3rd unit replacement, but day 1 pa lang after i received another bad unit for sharp, nag decide ako na ma release lang yung 3rd unit replacement or yung documents na kailangan ng western, samsung 37R81B is my 2nd option.
pero when i demoed side by side with PX5M, nalito na ako! pareho silang may mga differences, example: superman returns R1, sa R81B pixelated sya during the plane chasing scenes, sa PX5M smooth sya, When i played LOTR naman PX5M masyado matingkad, which is sa R81b detailed yung color except sa napansin ko na medyo yung skin tone madilaw. 4 hours ako sa western that time, the only reason why i get sharp again, ok naman ang after sale service nila, samsung sana kaya lang hindi masagot ng samsung rep yung mga question ko, imagine when i ask samsung rep kung bakit pixelated yung samsung R81b, ang sabi sakin, , ,"sir kailangan 720p lang gamitin na format at wag 1080i" HUH?! pede ba yun? eh di sana hindi ginawa ng samsung yun? lastly, kaya disapointed ako lalo eh hirit ba naman sakin eh "sir yung sobrang pixelated, baka defective yung lcd". sayang at samsung na sana kukunin ko, kaya lang walang convincing factor,
for Sharp service is concern, alam ko gusto nila habulin what samsung service do. . . i didnt encounter any problem with sharp service specially the person who help me like Mr Ron(technical) and Mr. Cada(area manager)
sa mga future consumer of Sharp, dont hesitate to get one. . . .sharp service now is much better than before.
intay ko lang delivery ng sharp aquos 37PX5M, wil give you feedback again and reviews.
thanks

Im a happy owner of 32BX5M as well bought December last year in Western at Festival Alabang. So far, Sharp has lived up to my expectations and one thing that I just envy though - the price has gone down the drain nowadays (bought mine at Php 99,900 with free 30Gb Ipod and 21 inch TV). I have not experienced the same problem as the other owners did. One thing din that I look forward is viewing movies via HDMI cable. Have not tried attaching my unit to a DVD player with HDMI out as I am still contented with the AR component cable's PQ attached to a sony dvd player.
Not sure if I have to share this but one same observation as well with the sales person of Samsung in Western Festival Alabang, he's a real turn off that I did not hesitate to take home the Sharp LCD TV outright even if I am not done with comparing yet. He made a blunt comment that Samsung's LCD panel is better than Sharp's and that "di raw ako marunong pumili" when I am in deep thought having the Samsung and Sharp unit compared side by side and my attention leaning towards Sharp.
I base my judgement on what I see and hear and being a salesman myself i just pondered on the thought, that maybe he needs to go to back to basics of selling.
Happy viewing to all sharp aquos owners.

The 37BX5M is on sale on Saver's Hub.. You can get it for 67k for cash or 18 months to pay..
Im sure they can still go lower, ask for a manager's discount. ;D

mga sirs kamusta naman po ang PC input ng Sharp Aquos? particularly the BX5m, BX6m and PX5m. Any comments on these models used as a pc monitor? Thanks in advance gurus! :D

@prick27:
I haven't tried it personally on Sharp Aquos' but Im pretty sure it will give you a good results, coz my previous HDTVs (Samsung S71 and Bravia V200A) worked perfectly for me - I am using it as a primary monitor with 1360x768 resolution.
Now, I am eyeing for Aquos' 37PX5M :D
-
thank you very much sir Fait. Now I'm torn betweent the cheaper samsung s81 and this aquos, hope I can audition both using PC inputs. :D

hello pdvd members! ive been reading this forum for a week already and it has been a big help to me in terms of knowing what to buy and what not to. to those who owns 37bx5m, i would like to know the response time, contrast ratio (native and dynamic) of the said model. and would also like to know if it has an HDMI port. I'm actually planning to buy one for gaming (about 85% of the time and 15% for movie watching). hoping for your response and thanks in advance. :D

response time is 6ms.
contrast ratio is 1200:1 native.
there are 2 HDMI ports, 1 can accept both A/V, the other one for Video only (has separate stereo input, ideal for PC input via DVI).
lag time when changing channels is slow (~2 seconds), which is common to LCD TVs.
-
@antikryst and fait..
guys, text me what time kayo punta uli ng Anson's Ortigas, gusto ko sana makita personally yung sinasabing geometric problems nung (OT) Samsung 32" WS Slim Fit TV..
by the way..na audition ko yung 32BX5M viewing local air channels, nagulat ako kase di stretched yung video, looks the same sa CRT TV's..i wanted to check this out first kase the LCD TV i'm gonna get will be an all 'rounder..games, movies and cable TV..
am definitely gonna get the 32PX5M, only thing left to figure out is where to buy.. :?
-
sayang we were there ulit kanina. i think fait already got the 37" na toshiba. :)
still waiting for my special price sa sharp. if not ill go 32" a3000e...brought 5th element kanina and it looked good. better pq sa sharp, then toshiba, then samsung. samsungs colors were oversaturated!!! :p

thanks paolorenzo! so the response time is 6ms... hmmm... based on your experience, do you think 6ms is good enough for fast paced gaming? and how about the dynamic contrast ratio? sorry if ask too much question... hehe... cant find any specs sa website ng sharp eh unlike the others but anyway thanks for replying and thanks in advance for your next reply. :D

6ms is as fast as you go present day :p

Yeah, I bought the 37A3000E yesterday and returned the unit today. lawl! I wasn't satisfied or I should was so very disappointed with the 37A3000E after hooking it up on my PC, everything was perfect already, watching tv, dvd's via it's hdmi player until I hooked it to my pc -- sucks totally! grr..
So, I ended up getting the 32PX5M - item will be delivered or picked up tomorrow afternoon - though im still working out for the 37PX5M, if Ansons can offer more or better discount, ill probably go for it - but to be honest, they offered me a good one already, i just want them to give it to the price I like. :D
-
sayang. ok na sa lahat except for pc input?

Yup, everything was perfect except for the pc input -- since my main priority is a HTPC, Toshiba Regza 37A3000E didn't pass my expectation.

@fait & antikryst
i already bought the 32PX5M at avante GB3 (look for alen) last friday ;D , they were able to make me an offer a little better than what Anson's Ortigas gave so i didn't resist temptation anymore..
the unit was delivered last Saturday morning and so far so good..
next project is an upscaling DVD player :-\ ..
:D
-
congratulations duhmask! Enjoy your new toy!
Question lang, I really don't see any difference in specs between the PX and the BX series. Meron ba difference in features? I know the PX looks sexier, but that seems to be the only difference? Can someone enlighten me. Mere looks doesn't justify the price difference for me (BX isn't exactly ugly).
-
ang sabi nung salesman sa Saver's exterior finish lang tsaka panel yung pinagkaiba pero features wise, preho lang daw.
-
i think 6000:1 ang CR ng PX5M comparing to a 1200:1 to BX series, i own a bx before pero when i tried PX mas detail yung black levels ng PX. one thing i dnt like sa PX series is nawala yung slot sa side panel. :(

I think meron difference ang PX sa BX series, coz comparing it side-by-side, mas maganda talaga yung PX5M over the BX5M and BX6M..

Hi eijneb. Kamusta na ang PX mo? So did this change finally get rid of the clicking sound? As in wala na?
I still have some clicks here and there, but luckily I don't get annoyed. Hopefully, nothing bad is actually happening inside the unit. It does sound like plastic clicks which may be related to heat.

do you guys have any idea(s) why/what's the clicking sound all about? Im getting clicking sounds too but it's only once in a while, same thing with my bravia too..

@ sir Paolorenzo and sir Fait
to be honest...i've nothing to say regarding on my PX quality now, malupet! superb! kaya lang. . .STILL, on my 3rd replacement unit by Sharp Alabang c/o western, itong PX5M ko right now is under evaluation, to make the long story short...for replacement na naman nila...from day 1 to day 3 no clicking sound was encountered until day 4 lumabas na sya, day 7, alabang sharp technical and sharp pasig visited my place again, hindi sila makapaniwala sa narinig nila, actually meron na sila dalang 37BX6M service unit nila, they do all the counter measure and evaluation para lang ma-detect nila kung sa place ko meron problema, which is they found out negative...unit na talaga. also they want to pullout my PX for immediate replacement since my 2 BX5M still in western, kaya lang hindi ako pumayag na kunin nila yung PX ko, i tell them to get my 2 BX unit sa western, now im waiting atleast 1 1/2weeks para ma-release nila yung papers ko na for replacement...im not worried kase maganda ang aftersale service nila, from time to time meron ako feedback na narereceived sa kanila.
sir Pao, imo dapat walang clicking sound sa lcd as per sharp technical, i also check 5 units form BX to PX at some appliance display pero talagang no sound of clicking yun mga display unit nila, imaging from 10am til closing yung mga display unit nila ganon ka-bugbog, yung unit ko 3-4hrs lang naka open pero still its very annoying yung clicking sound.
btw i have a avia calibration cd...sir kung wala pa kayo, PM me bigyan ko kayo ng copy.
eijneb
-
@eijneb:
So this would be your 4th replacement already? (2) BX5M and (2) PX5M already? :o
Yung sakin kasi may 'clicking' sound din but hindi naman ganon ka annoying, and minsan lang talaga tumutunog unlike yours na every minute?
Btw, what's avia calibration? Pahinge ako ;) Thanks!
-
puwede bang i-torrent tong avia calibration disk?
-
@fait & @eijneb
nakakatakot naman experience nyo, so far, ang naririnig ko lang na click sound sa akin is when ino on ko yung PX, hhmm, i try ko later na gamitin as monitor, baka kase di ko lang naririnig yung clicking sound dahil maingay yung pinanonood ko..
also, fait, yung settings lang din ni eijneb yung gamit ko sa ngayon..
-
many thanks to Doc Phil sa referal nya sa jnr appliances. got the PX5M at 56,950 cash.
may hidden menu ba sa aquos?

32PX5M

hi! talaga bang naka set sa maximum setting ang backlight ng mga aquos ninyo? yung sa akin kase ang default is maximum eh.
nakakasama ba ito sa tv?ano ano bang mga settings ang masama sa (LCD) tv? like ang alam ko pag mataas ang contrast settings mo eh mabilis masisira ang tv mo, applicable din ba ito sa mga lcd?
thanks
-
nakakasama ba ito sa tv?
I would think yes. I-tweak mo na agad ang settings, to fit your viewing conditions. For me, I modified the different settings for each viewing condition. Meron ako for bright daytime, meron for night viewing, etc.
I think I just put my backlight settings to the 50% (4 ba yun?).
-
yey!! meron nrin akong 32px5m!! sarap ng mglaro ng xbox... ahehehe! nga pla mga sir, panu ba on ung digital noise reduction?
tnx nga pla kay dr.phil at kay sir jarvey...
-
hi! may buzzing sound akong naririnig sa likod ng LCD ko. pero minasan nawawala....normal ba ang buzzing sound? may nabasa ako dito clicking sound daw sa tv nya, yung clicking sound na naririnig ko sa avr ko nangagaling sa relay siguro, pero yung buzzing sound nakakatakot.

I've read that LCD's contrast settings have no effect on backlight bulb life, of whose intensity is controlled by the backlight settings. Some say that the contrast is effected by the LCD panel itself, akin to putting a shade over your lightbulb, and has nothing to do with the backlight per se. So I guess whatever your contrast settings are, whether max or min, your backlight shining behind the LCD panel will remain unchanged. AFAIK, it's the high backlight settings that may shorten the backlight bulb's life. I may be wrong, so please feel free to correct me on this.
Personally I prefer low backlight settings on LCD for blacker blacks (especially at night), and maybe crank it up a tad for daytime viewing. All my other settings remain unchanged.

yey!! meron nrin akong 32px5m!! sarap ng mglaro ng xbox.
Congrats sir on ur new toy.... the best model and brand yan.

contact your nearest sharp service and have it check...mine was replaced 3x...ok naman ang aftersale service ng sharp...im sure bibigyan ka nila ng time dyan...btw ano model ng lcd mo?...buzzing sound? kakaiba yan sa na encounter kng clicking sound...under warranty pa ba unit mo sir?...if yes...dont worry, after few days of evaluation papalitan nila yan.

Just bought a 37BX5M from Western Festival Mall. Among all the LCD panels I've auditioned, this is the one that really appealed to me. Just waited for the price to go down. It was on sale so sumugod na ako! ;D
-
Congrats for your purchase Nerves,
Kindly post your observations. I am particularly interested though on cable tv viewing performance.

Thanks! Actually when I auditioned for an lcd tv, I brought with me a burned dvd of local cable broadcasts captured in my pc and had it run in their dvd player. In terms of cable tv viewing, the toshiba and sharp were neck to neck then samsung then philips. All were in standard settings. You can always manipulate the settings to make it appealing to analog cable tv by making the settings "milder" para hindi matapang and masakit sa mata for prolonged viewing. Definitely the settings they used in the showroom is not favorable for normal home use.
I am still waiting for the set to be delivered today. Ang tagal naman! ;D

congrats sir nerveblocker, how much did you get it?
Got it P71k from Western Festival Mall from their sale price of P79,995.00. Sad to say I wasn't able to see the post in the previous page that they were selling it at a lesser price at Saver's Hub. Oh well.....justifying the purchase that Saver's Hub is far away from where I am. Better for me that Sharp Service Center is near our place just in case I needed after sales service. ;D
I have been tinkering with the TV last night and I am not disappointed with PC and cable TV viewing. In cable TV viewing, on par or better with my 29 inch Samsung Tantus. Using the VGA output of my laptop using it as an HTPC monitor did not fall short of my expectations. I will be posting some screenshots for you to judge.

Nerve, Thanks for your feedback on cable tv viewing. It will help a lot in my decision. This thread has been discussing about weird sounds like clicking and buzzing on PX5 models. I sure hope it will not happen in your unit. Kindly observe and give feedback.
-
sir nerve congrats, i agree maganda nga ang cable tv viewing sa aquos.
@titanium
yung buzzing sound nung sa tv ko, kung minsan wala naman eh. baka sa fluctuation lang ng kuryente. ;)

-
try mo dumaan sa Digital savers club. mas madali silang kausap dun. straight ang mga offers nila.

So far no buzzing sound. Been using it for 6 straight hours calibrating the channels, using the pc and testing some dvds. I'm happy with the purchase. ;D

GOOD TO HEAR from you sir nerve, anywayz sharp aftersale service is better than ever, yung px ko so far walang problema, ako na lang ang may problema ;D wala naman ako time for my lcd :'( ganda i calibrate yan sa avia!

Thanks eijneb. Definitely I'll be calibrating the LCD with Avia. ;D

hi yung AVIA, THX optimizer ba pareho lang ng Ovation calibration disk?
hindi ko kse maadjust yung tamang brightness level ng tv ko using the Ovation calibration disk. For example sa brightness di ba dapat may dalawang lines na gumagalaw sa left side ng screen? wala akong nakikitang ganun sa lcd tv ko pero sa crt tv ko dati meron.

I have attached a Pio DV400 and an HDMI cable to my Aquos and when I watch a DVD the screen sometimes go blue as if there is no video signal. What I do is just shake the cable or detach and reattach the cable to my dvd player and the video reappears again. Sometimes, i try to move the hdmi connection in the LCD tv to bring back the display. This happens at the most twice in one dvd viewing and sometimes none. It is a minor irritant actually pero hassle lang if you are already in the exciting parts of the movie then the screen would go blue (no signal).
I am still observing if the problem is in the cable, the dvd player or the LCD itself. Anybody experiencing this?
-
will look out for the sharp model mentioned...i'm in the market for an lcd...or a plasma ???

Solved this problem already. I reported this to Sharp who immediately sent a technician to look at the problem. Turned out, it was my HDMI cable which had a loose terminal. I replaced my existing Nexxtech cable with a longer AR HDMI cable and I am now enjoying uninterrupted DVD viewing. ;D

anong "widescreen" setting naka set yung aquos nyo pag nanonood ng cable TV?

Hi!
Can you expound on this a bit? Considering that you tweaked the settings for home use, is there no marked difference in PQ from how things looked in the showroom and when you eventually used it at home?

It really depends on your source. if it is analog tv reception, I tend to tone down sharpness a bit to lessen the 'noise' from the analog signal. But if you are playing some dvds, then the tweak from the calibration disc applies. Definitely my settings with tv and dvd viewing are different. The same way that the settings with an hdmi and component video aren't the same.
All of this is subjective though. You can always enjoy the factory settings if you are satisfied with it.
You will notice that the settings of Avia is less bright but more detailed. It will need some getting used to. You will be tempted to revert back to your previous settings. But as your eyes adapt to the new settings with more viewing hours, you will slowly appeciate the new settings. Others do not appreciate Avia's settings so it is still a matter of personal preference.

thanks for feedback.

My latest update guys. SHARP LC-32PX5M and a Pioneer DV-600AV-S I was already headed for a samsung r81 til I saw a side by side demo with this. Whoa! Akala ko maganda na samsung. Buti na lang. IMHO - "It has the colors of a Viera and the contrast of Samsung". It wasn't really a hard decision for me. Btw, Plasma was also one of my first choice but realized that I intend to use it for a pc, ps2 and channel viewing. So I ended up with this. No regrets so far. :) Thanks for looking guys.

Got to test my sharp 37ax5m unit already today. At first I did not notice any problem. But after thoroughly checking the unit in full screen, I noticed that there is 1 dead pixel in the lower right portion. I immediately contacted my supplier who sold me the unit and my supplier told me that it is common sa mga LCD panels to have 1 or 2 dead pixels which mawawala naman daw after long period of use. And that pag less than 7 dead pixels, hindi pala ito covered ng warranty of replacement. Can the gurus here at pinoydvd enlighten me on how to eliminate the dead pixel?

click and read my post regarding the dead pixel of my sony bravia TV, here is the link http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=71916.0 (http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=71916.0)
sony replaced my panel with a new one, even with only (1) one dead pixel they covered it with warranty... i am not sure about sharp, and as what i read on that post samsung needs (7) seven dead pixel to be covered by warranty... that is the best about sony, after sales support! ;D

xxadonisxx LCD was replaced by Sony with only one dead pixel, try calling Sharp Phils baka they'll do the same din po.
Also, I have several url's that I've bookmarked before re: fixing LCDs dead pixels, click the link below and hope it helps:
Massaging : http://lifehacker.com/software/lcds/fix-your-lcds-dead-pixels-152062.php
Using 'Graphic' (you need to hook up your LCD with ur PC/Laptop) : http://www.killdeadpixel.com/
Note lang po, I have'nt tried the suggestion above since there's no dead pixel on my LCD.
-
Mga bossing,
Thanks sa advice. My supplier told me to just keep on using the unit. Mawawala din yung dead or stuck pixel sa katagalan ng gamit.
Thanks
-
This is interesting. How can you tell if it's a stuck pixel or a dead one? I think dead pixels won't fix itself given time. Did your supplier say how long is "sa katagalan ng gamit"? I suggest you get a replacement unit, as early as now, if that's an option still. Just my two cents. :)
-
I dont know nga if it is a dead pixel or a stuck pixel e. Can anyone here enlighten me.
Thanks. Sabi kc talaga ng supplier ko dapat 7 dead pixels before thay replace.

Hello po,
I was browsing thru S&S in Shang earlier & noticed that they have an older model 32AX5m - "ax" series. Its the cheapest in their bunch of 32" LCDs at 35K, but was wondering if you guys have any feedback about this model?
I'm also leaning towards the Samsung 32R81 at 38K, but would like to know if the AX can hold its own over the R81 even thou its 3k cheaper.

This is from Sights and Sounds. We have just received a new model LC32A53. It is on display side-by-side with 32AX5. You may wish to take a look for comparison between the two. Also on display are Samsung 32R81.

Brod...after3 days...na try ko na sya..satisfied naman ako sa performance. Price is not bad for a 37in LCD. I tried watching LOTR and Gladiator and it gave me a very satisfying result. Almost plasma quality...Definitely every penny's worth..

Linaw na rin e. Can you post here your settings for brightness, sharpness, etc? Thanks

I saw in a commercial I think last week about Sharp Aquos Quattron 70"

Any idea guys? Price and store availability? :)

Wow super mahal. Akala ko nasa 100k plus lang. Hehehe ;D
-
Can't really understand the pricing here.. My father-in-law bought this 70" sharp in the US last october for only $3k. That's not even half of the selling price here... Deym!!!
-
ok ba mga 70" and 80" sharps? i believe size matters eh.. hehe
-
ok ba mga 70" and 80" sharps? i believe size matters eh.. hehe
I think so. Why not see for yourself? :)
-
i would like to:D sadly... hindi po ako nakakaabot ng 70 pa sa malls...
biggest i have seen here in pinas is 64" plasma sa atc.. hehe akala ko nga 70 na eh... i felt heat pag daan ko sa harap ng malaking plasmang yun.. parang nasa labas ako nagpapaaraw.. or mas malakas pa...
im interested in 70 but not in philippine 70" price.. so will probably have to have it shipped here if mangyari... btw do we also have 80 here in pinas?
-
There "was" a Panasonic Plasma 103" yata, in ANSONS Makati before. Basta 100" or over. That's the biggest I've seen. Worth millions of pesos. Don't remember the price na. Baka Php2M pa yata. The last time I saw, that unit is not there anymore. I believe the power consumption is quite big also. Pero nagkaroon din tayo dito sa Pilipinas.

Yeah, I saw that one too before. My jaw dropped, hehe... isip ko, wow, it's like having a cinema at home. But when I saw the price na Php2M, i thought to myself, no way, I'll buy something more practical (as if may Php2M ako)... ;D
-
wow.. 103inch.. hehe i have not seen anything that big.. i think biggest ive seen abroad is 80" hehe

Here's a pic of that monster...

Mag-PJ na lang ako.. mas malaki pa dyan.. ;D

Try nyo pumasyal sa ATC sa food court, sa tabi ng KFC. May malaking Panasonic TV doon ;D
Di ko lang sure if they are the same as the one posted... :)
-
Sir Vic,
Does that mean that you are carrying the Sharp brand na?
Just asking....hehehehehehehe.

-
wow.. a monster...
pjs are great... but if i had the money.... hindi 2m asset ha.. hehehe .. i mean if i really had the money... i would get one.. hahaha
sarap managinip 103" tv.. may bumili na kaya niyan? madami naman mayaman sa pilipinas eh.. dami ko nakikita diyan supercars sa streets..
-
Siguro mayroon. Pero sa USA ba or sa Spain? Anyway, ito yata ang ginamit sa movie "The Skin I Live In (2011)" na Spanish movie ni Antonio Banderas. Malaking Panasonic HDTV ito. Or hindi kaya pinahiram lang ito para sa movie?
-
I just saw a 70" display of Sharp Quattron at Avant- ATC. Grabe ang linaw at ang ganda!!!
Kakalula din ang presyo!!! Ahahahahahahaha!!!
You can pay it in 36 months sa mahal!!!
-
^ Ano ang presyo? Ka presyo ng Vios? Altis? Camry? or mas mahal pa? Kotse na lang bilhin ko siguro!
Or 42" na lang ang bilhin ko at umupo ng 2ft away. Parang ganyan na rin siguro ang effect. Mas mura pa.
