Title: Toshiba Regza
Post by: Ice Storm on Apr 14, 2007 at 02:36 PM
There are Sony, Samsung, etc threeads but no Toshiba Regza LCD threads. So here it is and I am eyeing either the Toshiba Regza 32A3000E (32-inch LCD) or Toshiba Regza 32WL68E (32-inch LCD).

Anyone have an idea on availability/price of the said units?

do we have the newer model already? did some research but the WL66 is not on the US site at all..even on phased out models.

we dont have a philippine product site but the malaysia product site shows that the WL66 is current.

Regza 32WL68E = 139.9K, based on the promo brochure of Western Festival mall.

37" = 169.9K
42" = 209.9K
47" = 299.9K

Had tried the 42" at Anson's. Maganda, kahit malapitan di pixelated kahit SD source lang. 195K sa Anson's ATC.

Can somebody confirm if this is true? because looking at it' specs, it's only 1080p ready, so basically, it's not a FULL HD.

i saw your PC setup at TPC and was just wondering why are you changing monitors again, maganda na kase tignan with that v200 you have.

or habol mo yung screen resolution ng mga 1080p TVs? ako din, i'm considering a 32" 1080p Sharp TV pero hindi ko lang alam kung kelan nila ilalabas dito sa pinas yun, baka kase di na ako makapaghintay eh..

Meron Toshiba na 37" nagpunta ako sa Savers kahapon ang SRP nila was 169,900.00 pero since I was interested dun sa 42" model ang binigay nila sa akin price was 140,000 pag cash na ang SRP for that TV was 209,000.00

Sa mga nababasa ko ito daw 68e series ng toshiba is already 1080p and it's future proof na daw.

@duhmask:

Thanks for the complement and yes, im after the full HD (1080p) since I am using the tv as a primary monitor, but for now, getting a bigger one is a priority. If the 40" could only fit my table, ill be going for that one to end this itch of mine. hehe..

Talaga? Sana nga 1080p na talaga coz for a 37" it's a bit expensive already - but looking at it's specs in cnet asia, it's only 1080p ready. :c

The only way to know for sure is to count the pixels on the panel itself.

But since this is impractical, all you have to do is read the specs published by the manufacturer. 

Tingin ka lang sa brochure nila o sa internet, malalaman mo na.  Pag sinabing 1920 x 1080, e di full HD na 'yon.  Wala pa naman akong nabalitaan na manufacturer na nagsinungaling sa specs niya.  ;)

According to the Regza's brochure, only the 47 incher is 1920 x 1080; all the other sizes are 1366 x 768.

Post by: Weng! on Jun 04, 2007 at 12:21 PM
i think what it meant about 1080p future proof on the 42w68e (even though it's native res is only up to 720p) is that it will still work when fed with 1080p signal. unlike other 720p native resolution panels that will shut or won't show any pic at all.

Yup I agree. The 68LE models are just 1080p ready but still the PQ is amazing comparing it to the 66LE.. the only con(s) is it's uber expensive.

Ok lang ba ang 1200:1 or 1000:1 contrast ratio nung Toshiba? Isn't it too low compared to other brands like Samsung?
Title: Re: Toshiba Regza
Post by: antikryst on Jun 04, 2007 at 10:20 PM
hey its you again! hahaha parang pareho tayo seriously looking at the regzas :p

samsungs ratings are dynamic contrast ratio as others are not. mejo jacked up ang figures nila. just audition it to see for yourself.

from what i know the new LGs are the best on paper in terms of "dynamic contrast". they have higher paper figures than the samsungs as i read in a cnet article. looks like this is korean marketing to me :p

So, those 8000:1 contrast ratio of samsung are on dynamic? Hmm.. Looking at the toshiba earlier, ok naman ako sa PQ, actually mas gusto ko pa yung WL66E against the R81B (it's just me) tho worried lang ako kanina about it's low contrast.

I'm debating on whether to purchase a Toshiba Regza 37'' A3000E or a Sony Bravia KLV-32V300A. I would be able to purchase either one at around the same price range although the Toshiba is 37'' while the Bravia is only 32''. I'm going to use the tv mostly for games and movies.

Anyone care to help me decide? What would you choose if you were in my position?

I'm debating on whether to purchase a Toshiba Regza 37'' A3000E or a Sony Bravia KLV-32V300A. I would be able to purchase either one at around the same price range although the Toshiba is 37'' while the Bravia is only 32''. I'm going to use the tv mostly for games and movies.

Anyone care to help me decide? What would you choose if you were in my position?


I'd go w/ toshiba. Ok naman reviews nya and its bigger.

Magkano po yung nakita nyo na 37"? Saan?

Dun sa Western sa may greenhills P57k may free home theater na pag cash o credit card.

Meron ding murang 37'' lcd na AOC dito. Negotiable pa siguro yan. http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/41328/AOC+37+inch+widescreen+LCDTV+54K+only+3+yrs+warranty

The question sir is how much is your budget for an LCD TV. I got my 32" Regza bnew at a cheaper price when he sold it to me. He's one of the distributor of Toshiba and Panasonic LCD. All of the appliances center get their stocks or supply from him.

PM here if you want a good deal for Regza LCD TV's. Its definately better than Samsung or Sony. Worth every penny.

that's the lowest price i've heard of so far, on this model. just a few hours ago i was at Sights and Sounds in Shangrila and their price for this model is 60k cash, but with no haggling. Dunno if it can go lower.

Dumaan ako sa Western greenhills kanina. Tumaas presyo nila! Last week P57,000 nalang with home theater system na yun tapos ngayon P60,000 na wala pang home theater system! Sinabi ko inoferan ako ng P57,000 sa shop nila last week pero ayaw nilang maniwala. Baka by december tumaas pa lalo yan  :(

Haha bili na yan! Tumawag Western sakin, they informed me that while they were picking up my tv from the warehouse, nabagsak daw ng mga magdedeliver! Bukas ko pa makukuha asar. Yung HT system wala pang upscaling capabilities yung dvd player. But they offered a different HT with upscaling capabilities if I just add P10,000. I passed, mga Blu Ray nalang papanoorin ko hehe  ;D

hi sir, what cable did you use?  did you use vga or hdmi?  coz there is someone at tipidpc (username: dede) that is using the same model, and claims that he was able to get the native resolution (1366x768) using vga.  Im not sure pa, but can anyone really confirm this, coz im considering this lcd.  here's the link btw.

@kane:

I was using a dvi-vga cable on it and a ATI x1950pro videocard but no luck tweaking it because it can not support 16:9 ratio but it can support 1366x768 resolution.. so getting a 4:3 ratio with a 1366x768 is different - distorted image w/ 2 black bars on the side..

I got my A3000E when it was first released in stores, I acquired it day1, if dede was able to use 16:9 and at the same time 1366x768, maybe Toshiba did something about it already but it's close to impossible doing it since it was really built like that (well, may be it's just my opinion)

You can read cnetasia.com -- reviews on it using it as a monitor sucks and look closely to the screen shot the reviewers did, you'll see 2 black bars on the side.

Ask dede of TPC to give you a screen shot of it using it as a pc monitor, tell him to browse tipidpc.com just for assurance. If he can provide you one, good job on it.. It means it is perfectly working -- and yes, a good buy already for a htpc.

Hi,

Kane, i suppose you are "scaglietti" in tpc right? The one who PMed regarding this issue?

Okay, first I would like to say A3000E's image/picture quality is decent, not as good as R81 series, but is almost at par with SD and HD contents, both color accuracy and range... and for the price, OMG... it is something you really want to consider. I got mine for 60k only

Re: using as HTPC

I am using, the same with Fait, DVI-VGA cable on an X1950pro video card. Using Catalyst driver 7.4. Under Catalyst Control Center, there is this option "include 1360x768 support"... after checking that, you can select 1360x768 as a desktop resolution. It worked with A3000e and the ratio is correct, 16:9 (note not 1366, but 1360 only).

I have downloaded several HD contents (720p 8gb movies in hd-bits.ro) and it looked stunningly great. Nothing less than what I was expecting. Of course, it would have been much better if I would've used a HDMI-DVI cable. I haven't tried actual HD DVD or bluray yet so I am sure that will be better (8gb vs 25gb)

As for the correct ratio, I haven't heard anything about "Old versions" of this model as A3000e is quite new (4-6mos?). It is the "pang-masa" version of wl68e. I suggest you try using powerstrip...

I will post a screenshot if I finished my next movie... yebah!!! Cant wait...

yes, i was... i didnt have any problems setting it up on my first try. Moreover, once you plug the VGA cable to your DVI, most of your regza remote controller buttons will not work (picture and image settings)... You can set ratio/resolution/overlay settings in your nvidia/ati control panel.

No tweaking... just selecting desktop resolution to 1360x768. Ano po ba dapat? Pag saksak, automatic na? I kinda set it up like a monitor... i think my driver thought it was a monitor. How should've I have done it?

check-out theater works 3rd floor trinoma mall, near mindanao ave. parking. tel.901-3975 but then again go for it while they have stocks pag naubos kasi  :-[ sasabihin mo sayang, sana...

Well, to be able to get the P35K price, you have to purchase two units.  If you're on a limited budget, you have to have a friend with you who will buy the other one for P35k.  Unless you have P70k with you and you have use for two LCDs in your home.

I told my wife, we can get this.  One for the HT and one in our room.   ;D  Unfortunately, budget would not allow it. hehehe  ;D

Well, to be able to get the P35K price, you have to purchase two units.  If you're on a limited budget, you have to have a friend with you who will buy the other one for P35k.  Unless you have P70k with you and you have use for two LCDs in your home.

I told my wife, we can get this.  One for the HT and one in our room.   ;D  Unfortunately, budget would not allow it. hehehe  ;D

Bro are you still interested for the Western deal? Baka pwede tayo mag tig-isa....hehehe

The Toshiba Regza 37' is available in the US for $999 (Costco).  I've been debating on whether I should have one shipped to Manila, or just buy one that is available there.  Of course, w Shipping and tax it will bring the price much higher than the quoted retail price, but would still be cheaper than quoted price I've seen in this thread.  Likewise, the specs for the Regza seems very different, with 3 HDMI inputs,etc.. 

Do you have complete specs for Regza in Manila?  Any opinion on whether its best to get it here or buy one in Manila instead? Is there a warranty for sets bought in Manila?  If there is, how long is the warranty? Thanks.

Here are the specifications of local Regza 37A3000:

* 1366 x 768 pixels, * World-Wide NTSC/PAL/SECAM Color System - Watch any video signal on this TV! * 37-inch “Magic Square Algorithm” LCD TV with PC input and HDMI, * World-Wide NTSC/PAL BG/PAL I/Secam BG, DK/ PAL DK TV tuners, * Widescreen 16 X 9 Format, * 1200:1 screen contrast ratio, 6000:1 Dynamic contrast Ratio provides incredible images whether you're watching dark or bright scenes! * 500cd/m2 High Brightness, * Meta Brain Pro, * 3D Colour Management, * single HDMI INPUT, * 1.07 Billion Colors (1,024 Tones), *Real speed Progressive Scan, * allows you to invert the image upside-down or "mirror" image if you need to hang it in an unconventional manner. * Lamp Life: 60,000 hours, * PC input, * 2 Component Input (Y/Pr/Pb ), * S-Video Input, * Composite (AV) Video Input, * Power Consumption AC: 65W, * World-wide Dual Voltage 110-240 volts 50-60 hertz, * 1 year parts and labor Limited Warranty from Toshiba Philippines.
 
Before you buy a US Regza, perhaps you may wish to consider the following:

The US version 37" REGZA comes in 110 volts while the 37A3000 Regza is autovolt.  With autovolt TV, you are safe from accidentally plug your TV into a wrong voltage. Not to mention that you also save yourself from buying a step-down transformer.

The US version 37" Regza can only handle NTSC video source while the 37A3000 handles PAL/Pal-Secam/and NTSC video. Although in our country we subscribe to NTSC format, the PAL system format is sometimes helpful for viewer who wishes to watch video recorded in PAL system. Many dvd discs, especially the pirated ones, were recorded in PAL system format.

The local Regza carries a 1-year guaranty.  The local Toshiba distributor provides after-sales service during the guaranty period.  This means that in the event that the TV konks out within 30 days, the distributor will replace the TV for another one. The distributor also  provide service unit, if the TV would take longer than a week to repair.

The issue of needing one or three HDMI inputs is a choice on one's need.  Consumer goes for multi HDMI input for simple set-up.  A multi HDMI inputs allow you the flexibility of connecting all your video source into TV rather than being constrained by a one input.

Of course, there is one advantage to the US Regza 37HL67: the HD tuner which will allow you to receive HD broadcast. The question is "do you need a HD tuner?" Chances are you won't need one now when HD broadcast is still not available.

Lastly, at the price of US Regza $999. or Php50,000. (inclusive of shipping costs) versus Php55,000. (selling at Sights and Sounds located at 4th level Shangri-La Plaza), the consumer won't go wrong if he buys it locally than to bring one from US.  At Sights and Sounds, you can even avail for easy 6 month installment payment at Php59,999.00 thru credit card. That's only Php1,000. month!

There are a lot of positive reviews about the the 37A3000. I got a 32" thinking that the review applies to all sizes of the 3000 series.

Is the overall picture quality of the 37" really better than the 32"? Am I missing alot (not considering the bigger size)?

By doing side by side comparison between 32A3000 and 37A3000, we find very little improvement in picture clarity with 32a3000.  This must be due to same number of pixels found in both LCD TV.  The condensed pixels must have made the 32" look better, though the difference between the two TVs is not that quite far.

The Regza was on sale sa Ayala Center kahapon...BPI Installment Madness.
If you buy the 32 A3000E and 37 A3000E it'll only be 99,900.
Not really sure if this is a good deal but if you look at it around 50K for each LCD.

Pero kung isa lang medyo mahal...kais they're selling it for 75K.

The Regza on sale at BPI Madness is actually a 2 in one offer. 

This is how the package was computed:

Toshiba 32" 32a3000 at card payment 6 months Php41,580.00 or cash Php38,500.00. Add Php7,000.00 for a home-theater system.

Toshiba 37" 37a3000 at card payment 6 months Php58,320.00 or cash Php54,000.00. Add Php7,000.0 for a home-thater system.

Both TV combined will cost you at card payment 6 months Php99,900.00 or cash at Php92500.00.

Instead of buying two units at one time, you may purchase them separately.

Please note that the above goods have Goldway-Toshiba 1 year guaranty certificates.

Hey all I bought my 37A3000E about a month ago and last night, I noticed ghosting during cable viewing. Thankfully this problem only arises during regular cable viewing. I checked out dvd, blu ray and ps3 gaming and didn't experience this problem.

Why get 2 units or 3 units at one buying when you can get 1 unit at the same price? I got my Toshiba 32a3000 at P37,000.00 at Sights and Sounds. It comes with Goldway-Toshiba guaranty card.  Listening group selling cheaper but no official certificate. Grey market Toshiba daw ang binebenta ng Listeneing group, sabi ng Toshiba Company.

Instead of buying 2 units, siguro you just buy another unit in the future.  Baka, bumaba pa ang price ng LCD TV.

after reading the posts naghihinayang ako na bumili agad ako ng 37" regza 78t kuha for 12 months zero interest, 4 months ago laki rin ng binaba ng price, pero enjoy naman ako for the past 5 months, ang problem ko lang ay minsan na stuck yung image ko pag cable tv, ewan ko kung dahil sa cable tv or because sa TV.

regarding sa regular broadcast, inayos ko lang yung connection ng cable para walang grounded tapos ok na especially pag yung disney channel, hbo ok rin, cnn, bbc, etc. yung iba na malabo talaga signal sa simula lang ay talagang ganun.

Just bought Toshiba Regza 32A3000E from Sights and sound shangri-la. Other units of the same price and specs were in display side by side so I had the chance to compare the units before buying.

The verdict,

Panasonic TX32LE7 - Deeper blacks, great for movies
Sharp Aquos 32 inch (forgot the model no.) - Very sharp and bright images, great for HD gaming.
Toshiba Regza 32A3000E - Balanced performance, smoother movements

Source: Pioneer blu-ray player with blu-ray demo disc.

I chose REGZA because it has the best balance among the three. And guess how much - P35K CASH PRICE! (all three have the same price)
There is also Samsung and Hitachi, a little bit more expensive, around 39K ata.
