Any recommendations? Looking at the 59k na samsung then 0% or a regza i saw in shangrila for 52k 0% also.
my budget would be 60k max...cheaper the better.,..freebies appreciated also since i dont have a HT setup in my room yet. pwede rin ako mag cash if it saves a significant amount of money.
planning to use this for dvds and an xbox 360.
-
if you are not conscious of the brand there are 32" lcds from aoc and mag that can be had for 35k cash basis.
-
saw the mag but mejo malayo ang quality sa branded ones. looking for a keeper lcd tv already. but i guess malaki rin ang savings.
-
There are Samsung 32" models that go for less than 60K
Check out the ingoing Anson's sale at the Glorietta activity center
There'a a Sharp 37-incher that goes for less than 70 or 80K I think
-
32" S81, good buy po ito :)
-
ok na! narrowed it down to:
1) Samsung S81 32" 50k cash
2) Toshiba Regza 32wl66 48k cash
Was able to audition the regza...ganda nung speakers for built in ones. couldnt hear the one of samsung since ang ingay sa abenson demo in shang. they even used a pirated dvd to demo the unit to me..sheesh :p
any inputs? i really like the looks of both but the samsung looks brighter. is this due to the glossy screen?

I've seen these two models, and my personal pick would be the S81 due to crisper color and better black level due to higher contrast ratio. It's not due to the glossy screen.
The Regza have a better sound quality, less pixelation. But, color rendetion is too soft for me.
On aesthetics, I prefer the design of Samsung.
Customer Service - Samsung have a good reputation. Can't comment about Toshiba.
But that's just me. ;D
-
thats what i also notice. regzas colors are a little soft but it looks ok to me. personally i think the samsungs colors are a bit exaggerated. in reality im ok with both.
in terms of sound quality off the box is the regza that better to the samsung?
as for warranty, i inquired in shangrila...daming free service. free installation, calibration etc. they even provide a tv when yours is under repair! wow! forgot the shop name though. its in a brochure somewhere. lol.
-
sirs, how about the 32" of philips, which also sells at 69k (from original of 90k++)?
I was able to check it also this weekend (when i was about to buy the R81 of samsung), though it only has a contrast ratio of 3200:1 vs 8000:1 of samsung. But when compared the picture side by side, philips performed better (IMHO). Philips has fine lines/edge than samsung, again based only on my observation. Though I was not able to check the pixellation.
The philips model is late 2006, while that of samsung is just fresh.
Now I am very much confused...
-
yun nga eh...samsung is a fresh model so im considering that. philips is out of the budget range. try checking out the regza as well... sub 50k pag cash!
now its samsung vs toshiba vs philips
lol

Store settings are usually to the max. At least you'll see at the store how far it can deliver. With the Samsung, at least you'll have more headroom with the color adjustment if you set it later to a less saturated setting.
I prefer the sound quality of the Regza. But I didn't bother much about SQ when I was looking for my TV. I use the TV's own sound only with TV broadcast anyway.
As to customer service, what you mentioned above are also what others provide. The difference lies on the actual delivery of such services. I've experienced bad service lately and I'm sharing it to others for them to be aware. Ask around about the customer service of the different brands, and make it as one of your major criteria since these are not cheap TV's, especially for an average person like me.

i have a samsung but im not impressed by the audio.
-
the hitachi ld9000 just went down in price to the 50k range! 49k cash to be exact. pwede rin to.
colors were brighter than the regza.

Good product; very bad customer service. My personal experience.
-
customer service? dont you course it through the shop you bought it from?

CS is through the company/distributor of the brand. You can course it through the store, but still they'll throw it back to the company/distributor of that brand.
-
the regza is still on the top of my list... but now i wanna look at their new model that replaced the one im looking at.
-
a friend was supposed to buy a 32" regza but changed his mind at the last minute as he found the samsung better, i still tend to think though that the displays at department stores are not optimized so you tend to judge them as you see it, not on their actual performance. I wasnt there when he was comparing displays so i cant comment on why he prefers the samsung. I also wouldnt put emphasis on sound quality as i prefer to let my sound system do that. you cant expect much sound especially from flat panels.
-
wala pang budget for a home theater system eh lol. so i gotta do with the built in ones for half a year or so. nice thing about the samsung ones is that they offer it at a good price for 0%. will try to audition the newly released regza as the ones i saw were last year's models
-

you probablly could shave in an additional 1 or 2k of the final price with aggressive haggling :P

-
hi guys,
pwede magtanong kung saan ba yang Saver's Hub?
-
Saver's hub is along edsa (right side if you came from North), gitna ng North MRT station and West Ave.
-
Ravel, aside from the LCDs, are there other items there for sale? Thanks.
Meron sir, I've seen digital cams, video cams. Pero I can't remember if there are refs, aircons, regular tvs. Better call their no., someone posted these on another thread:
Address: 995 north Edsa, QC
927-7091, 927-5960
-
was able to visit savers...very friendly staff! think this is a good place for cash purchases. but i think the big stores like ansons/abensons are better pa rin pag installment :D
-
i think ansons is better sa haggling and instalments.. d ako mkatawad sa abenson..miski piso!
sa anson madali lng
