Title: Samsung 51F5000/51H5000 - Bang for the Buck Full HD Plasma
Post by: klipsch on Sep 03, 2013 at 03:31 AM
I'm planning to buy a new plasma to replace my led tv. The 51F5000 is tempting with the Abenson promo but it still is more expensive than the lower F4500. Is the 1080p/720p difference big or noticeable with the viewing details below.

Dark room with a window with blackout curtain
Bedroom right infront around 6 feet away
PS3/BD and 1080p large files, Cable with SD and HD channels

My current tv is a Samsung 46eh5300, its 1080p but is the F4500 better given its only 720p? Apologies for the newbie questions, been a led user since day 1 but plasmas nowadays are really tempting with ridiculous low prices.

Appreciate the inputs.

At 6 feet away, anything bigger than a 32 in tv would require a full hd screen, unless pixelation is ok with you. 6 feet away also is too close for a 51 in screen. I would recommend 9 or 10 feet away.

I'm eyeing the same TV, PhP 42,999 at Abenson with free 28" LED and I would really say that 720p is very much acceptable in a 42" but not in the same extent as with 51". You may not notice pixels (not pixelated, but you can literally see each pixel of the TV) at more than 6ft viewing distance however the fine detail that being delivered by Full HD is very evident in the same viewing distance.

Besides, the F4500 model, even with their clean panel technology provides very washed out colors (whitish), BIG Pixels and poor contrast. The difference of F5000 over the series F4500, is night and day.

Panasonic 50" x50 or x60 models (720p) are much much better than Samsung F4500 series.

Go for 51f5000. I just did, you won't regret it. Black is really black not grayish, color is very natural. It runs hot though. Full HD is the only way to go.

In gaming mas ok na dumaan sa receiver via hdmi. Pag direct sa tv anlakas ng kulay. Detailed masyado pag pinaprocess ng receiver. Masarap sa mata. Pag movies any setting ng tv is very good.

I use a 42 in full hd bravia on my ht bedroom and gaming and also at 6 ft away, which is about the min distance for a 42 in, for a 51 in - definitely too close imho.. Medio nakaka hilo na and you get to see the pixels na.

Chances are, you'd get used to it soon enough. That distance is about right for the size, imo. THX recommends a 5' viewing distance for a 50" screen for the most “immersive cinematic experience.”

Yes, 50 inch full HD requires only 1.6 meters or 5 ft 3 inches.  You can actually sit nearer if your eyes can tolerate it, and the height of the TV is comfortable for your neck.

Malayo na ang 6ft

I was told that the free 28" led retails between 14k to 15k, can't remember the exact figure.

The free TV model is 28F4000 which is priced in Sights and Sound for P12200 (of course higher in Abenson)

Abenson apparently dont want to deduct the price of the free TV if you dont want it.

Kung pwede nga lang sana na outright deduction yung price nung free TV so lalabas na around 30K+ lang yung Full HD plasma

the free TV i got was 28F4100. I think it has minor improvements over 28F4000.
am not sure if its a newer model or just a variant.
i think one additional USB port was added which allows file transfer directly from the usb ports.

the best feature of the TV for me is the ability of Samsung to decode DTS audio files.
LG and Sony can decode dolby digital but not DTS from movie files via usb port.

Still runs hot like most plasmas.

i was at Avant yesterday, unfortunately the 2 salesmen i talked to doesn't seem to know their work ... as mentioned above, the 12 month installment price totals to 33,597 using Metrobank CC ... i asked if how much kung cash price because the 30k+ cash price mentioned above was not indicated - sagot sa akin 42k+ daw pag cash, and they stuck to that cash price until i left them with disappointment ... i did not ask for a manager to confirm because i'm only planning to purchase the unit at the end of the month

30K flat for the F515000 through a Metrobank credit card? I saw this a few months ago as well at Avant Abenson (the one in Greenbelt) for 43K Php cash.

yes exclusive lang talaga sa Abenson at yung promo sa Avant lang.
nagtanong ako kahapon sa Sales Rep ng Avant Greenbelt, pinakita nya sakin yung likod ng tag price na 30K+  straight charge or cash, pwede rin daw kahit anong card at any day. Confirm ko ulit mamaya and tanungin ko name ng sales rep.

Just confirm awhile ago, for the 30k+ promo no cash payment only straight & 12mons 33k+ exclusive to metrobank. I prefer installment so pumayag na sa Friday before 5pm ako mag purchase para sa Sat ang delivery. Nagpa try din ako ng Watt Meter nila, pag naka dynamic mode ave. of 150watts, pag naka standard at naka on ang eco mode to medium ave of 100watts so di rin nalalayo sa LED.

Try nyo i nego sa ibang abenson, kasi samin sa Sucat Waltermart pumayag na 30k+ pero straight or cash pero walang installment

Hi. As soon as I read Philander's post about the Abenson Avant sale, I bought the unit  without the LCD freebie on Sept 8 for PhP30, 237 in Abenson Avant in Trinoma (next floor  near the top of National Bookstore). Cash or straight payment with MetroBank card. 33000++ if 12 months to pay.  BTW, my ext. hdd will not play if connected directly sa USB port ng Samsung plasma kase daw Fat32 initialized material lang babasahin ??? although ok naman when we connected  directly sa mga LG and other flat panel TVs. I had to buy an LG 3d Bluray player na binigay sa 3900. I connected this  player to the plasma via HDMI cable and used the USB connection of the Bluray player to play HD movies stored in the external hard disk drive. Ngayon, we can watch Blurays  as well as my movie library at palaging movie marathon kami sa bahay.

Hi. As soon as I read Philander's post about the Abenson Avant sale, I bought the unit....
BTW, my ext. hdd will not play if connected directly sa USB port ng Samsung plasma kase daw Fat32 initialized material lang babasahin ??? although ok naman when we connected  directly sa mga LG and other flat panel TVs.

My 1TB USB 3.0 NTFS partition Seagate Expansion exernal HDD was able to read by my  Samsung 51F5000

My 1TB USB 3.0 NTFS partition Seagate Expansion exernal HDD was able to read by my  Samsung 51F5000

I also tested my 1TB USB 3.0 Seagate BackUp Plus Ext HDD and it was read  in the Samsung 51F5000 but not the 500 GB USB 2.0 Samsung  F2 portable ext HDD. Why???  Does  anyone have a similar experience? 
Nevertheless, we are all enjoying watching movies in this new 51 in plasma. Watching in a 51 in. coming from  a 42 in. plasma is truly an amazing experience kaya takbo... bili na...sobrang affordable talaga at 30T.

I think yes.

There at so many advantages of the new 51F5000 than your panasonic

Size
USB
FullHD
PIP feature
Better sound (way way better compared to my 42X30)
So many picture settings to recreate your viewing preference
Better anti-burn in feature
2 HDMI inputs
Better frame
better stand

To name a few

yup, just bought one this afternoon ... it's replacing my 5 years old Panasonic PV8 ... was planning to buy it next week, since wala pa ko paglalagyan this weekend, kaya lang according to the salesman at Abenson Glorietta, their sale is up to today only - not sure if how true this is, but judging from the large interest of PDVD members , baka magka-ubusan na kaya i got it today

Abenson Glorietta by the way allows non-Metrobank cards and cash payment for 30k+, unlike Avant Greenbelt where they only give the promo price when using Metrobank card

It replaced my Panasonic 42X30 and Im happy, though I admit I miss the color rendition of my Panasonic lalo na sa Theater mode. But I sure matinker ko lang itong setting matitimpla ko na same with the color of Panasonic. Actually konti na lang.... Yung Panasonic kasi, napakakonting adjustments lang ng ginawa ko para mailabas desired color, contrast and brightness rendition ko.

not only sa price sir, i've been observing this tv for the past 4 weekends on different Abensons branch, and picture quality really looks better than my Panasonic 42PV8, and this one is already Full HD and 51-inch screen ... i was previously considering the higher model PS515500, but i'm not really into 3D and as for the smart features, i'm planning to buy an XBox One when it is released - this model at this price plus an XBox One would likely be the same amount as the PS515500, and i'm sure that the XBox One have smarter features and better processor

But the price as per Sir Vic: PS51F5500 P57,200. FREE Skype camera, wireless keyboard, 2 eyeglass. Also free thru redemption UA23F4003 LED TV or HTF4500 home theater system. You can redeem the HTF4500 and we buy it back at P7K.

I wish I could say the same para hindi na ako nag upgrade at nag stay na lang sa 42", less gastos pa.
Pero I really dont think na masyado malaki yung 51". 55 is not too big still. 60" talaga ang masasabi mong malaki.

Look for murphy
30,273 straight cash any card
Tel 6211130
They say it's only a weekend sale so call first if you plan to buy this before the salary weekend
Use gino as a reference if needed

Imo you dont have to rush off buying one if you dont need it. I remember the x20 sale before that plummeted to sub 30k for the first time. Nagmadali lahat. Pero mga sumunod na next gen, sub 30k na din halos lahat ng prices of 42 inchers. Got one because we needed one and sakto tong promo. Thanks sa thread contributors.

Sa totoo lang yung presyo na yan kinuha ko lang dito sa thread. Una kala ko 33k straight. Oo naman yung salesman. Binasa ko ulit thread, yun pala 33k pang 12 months metrobank pala. The tag in the store still says 42k. Baka pwede pa nga masmababa. They won't tell you their real bottom price i think.

Anybody here with a Kuro who did a comparison with this Sammy?

The black bars still do not disappear into the bezel but it's very close. One avforumer said that this model is just an updated e530(not sure exact model but last years version). But for 30k you'll say, "kuro what?"

My 51F5000 was delivered yesterday morning, as per my request, which was purchased last Friday at Abenson Avant Trinoma ( and free of delivery charge too ).
This is being used as a PC monitor on a HTPC set up with over 10 hours of internet browsing daily. On a monthly basis, over 90% will be consumed on browsing the web and games, and about 10% for watching movies.
As of today, never experienced any IR and burn-in.
We will determine later its power consumption for all types of viewing mode using a digital power meter and digital multimeter.
Truly bang for the buck ang model na ito, folks. Kaya buy na po kayo..............

Very happy with my 51F5000, coming from a 42 PV7 Panasonic.

Sa showroom mukha siyang maliit kasi marami siyang katabing malalaki... pero pag uwi ko at tinabi ko sa old tv ko, ang laki ng difference ng size.

Sulit din ang full HD na 1920x1080 vs the old 1024x768... ang linaw!

Best 30k ever spent :)

Hi Edboy, here is the answer to your question.


Just confirm awhile ago, for the 30k+ promo no cash payment only straight & 12mons 33k+ exclusive to metrobank. I prefer installment so pumayag na sa Friday before 5pm ako mag purchase para sa Sat ang delivery. Nagpa try din ako ng Watt Meter nila, pag naka dynamic mode ave. of 150watts, pag naka standard at naka on ang eco mode to medium ave of 100watts so di rin nalalayo sa LED.

Try nyo i nego sa ibang abenson, kasi samin sa Sucat Waltermart pumayag na 30k+ pero straight or cash pero walang installment

May nakapag try na po ba mag lagay ng external HD na completely readable? if yes, ano pong brand ng external drive ang ginamit nyo? im planning to buy one by this weekend maybe yung 3.5" HDD para may sariling power source.

finally got my 51F5000 delivered and installed today ... according to the delivery guys, these are selling like hot cakes - they delivered 4 yesterday, and mine is their 3rd delivery for today, which according to them is unusual for large tv's ... big upgrade coming from Panasonic 42PV8 ... i haven't thinkered with the settings yet, but change from 720p to full HD is noticeable, this is a good upgrade i think ... only challenge is the auto tuning, you can only select aerial and set top box, no cable - the result was channel numbers are not arranged properly, i have to manually change the channels later

it seems to be more reflective than the Panasonic 42PV8, but not a worry for me as i've been using plasma tv for my HT

For the ones near the Ortigas area, you can try Abenson's - Galleria located at the basement.

Just look for Ryan or the store manager ( couldn't recall the name).  They would be willing to
attend to your orders.

Got the 51F5000 at P30,297 via straight card basis.
They didn't want at first as the "promotion" is not recognized by their branch
but after some negotiations they finally agreed.

Go get this "value for money" plasma tv!

I just bought my Samsung F5000 from Abenson's Greenbelt. They're now accepting credit cards other than Metrobank. Paid with my EastWest card. Last day's tomorrow. Come and get it while you still can.

On another note, I kind of feel like I've downgraded since I'm coming from a WXGA DLP projector making an 86" screen. Then again, a plasma is another ballpark in terms of picture quality. But I'll miss the size. We also have another old plasma here, a Panasonic P50C10 from early 2009. I hope it's a lot better than our C10 when we get it. For some reason, Panasonic just makes superior plasmas. Even our old C10 craps on the HD-ready LG and Samsung plasmas I see at stores. Alas, this F5000 is stupidly cheap so it's impossible to complain.

One thing I noticed is that our old Panasonic plasma tv is more forgiving of movies encoded in low bitrates. Those played relatively smoothly in the Panasonic, but appear grainy/pixilated in this Samsung.

However, with 1080p movies with sufficient bitrates, the picture is crisp, clean and very clear, and the colors are superb. Plus, it has a very capable built-in media player that reads MKVs and MP4s without a stutter. Really a steal at the price.

Yes, the Panasonic plasmas are ridiculously good at compensating for poor quality sources like low resolution, low bitrate videos and cable TV. It's like magic.

Anyway, when we tried playing back some lower bitrate 720p and 1080p videos at the store using the F5000's built-in player, the output was surprisingly good. For good measure, we played the same videos on a Samsung LED TV and the macroblocking from the lower bitrate 720p videos were just too obvious. The panel and video player's processing on the F5000 is very satisfying. Not overprocessed or anything. Just right, especially when on the preset "cinema" picture mode. The F5000 also has digital audio output just in case you have a HT system. But I don't know yet if it will decode DTS. Most likely just AC3 or multi-channel AAC, which is good enough for most.

i think medyo exaggerated naman yung comment na "hindi halos mapakinabangan" sa bright environment ... there's a setting on room environment, you can set the picture mode for bright room use ... my living room is well lit at wala namang problema, but a good proof are the displays on Abenson stores - their stores are commonly brightly lit (e.g. Avant in Greenbelt and Abensons in Glorietta), and you would still see the picture quality standout ... not unless you're using the tv outdoors, standard living room areas would likely be less brighter than the Abenson stores i mentioned

I was at AVANT Abenson Trinoma last night to view and demo this unit...

Im not here to bash the owners of this TV... just want to share my observations...

IMHO, the PQ is not at par with my current Pana 42VT30 unit...   Tried playing some of their USB sourced movies at 1080P... BLACKS are simply dull and pale in comparison with the VT30 (kahit naka DYNAMIC na yung SAMMY)... malayo talaga and PQ ng SAMMY PLASMA vs PANA PLASMA...  Not sure if this can be remedied thru color adjustment....

The back panel is very basic...very few connections...   

for first time PLASMA buyers (51inches@30K)... the TV unit is really a bargain.... You get the new "STANDARD" size plasma model...

But if you have tried and tested PANA Plasma PQ in DYNAMIC mode... The SAMMY PQ is really a disappointment...

I was planning to upgrade to a new 50 incher this year and got excited with previous posts about this SAMMY... But after you have gone PANA PLASMA... The PQ standards are very different and distinct... very difficult to change to a bigger size unit but with lower PQ quality (BLACK LEVELS)... :(

the Sammy is really a bargain at 30K for firstime buyers... But ill pass and probably look at other models in the market...

Thanks Guys...

We bought this TV at Avant Trinoma. When we previewed it there, my kids almost did not want to buy because of the grainy, dull demo videos the salesmen kept showing us. So if you would preview it, I suggest you bring your own high-res, high-bitrate test video in a flash disk.

When we set it up in  our TV room, beside our Panasonic TH-42C10S, any perceived advantage of the Panasonic panel in playing 720p movies is really very slight. Plus, of course, the 51F5000 can go up to full-hd 1080p. I would consider it really a great bargain, not because of the size-to-price ratio only, but because of the PQ, too. YMMV. The Panasonic has been demoted to the bedroom.  :)

when I bought the e550 I demoed it too side by side with a 50vt30..indeed mas ok ang vt30..but price wise..the price performance ratio can't be beat..esp this model..51" for 30k..with the right settings hindi dull ang black..I owned a 42pv80..even it's not in the league of your vt30..It was still a step up in PQ and black levels..

I'd like to give you feedback, but my F5000 won't be delivered until Wednesday. It's not fair to compare unless they're side by side. Plasmas tend to look ugly in appliance showrooms because of the uncontrolled lighting. But I've spent a good hour playing with the TV before paying for it and it's a step up over our 50C10 in terms of sharpness in 1080p videos. Other than that, I would still give the edge to the 50C10 in almost everything else. This is why I hope the 51F5000 will actually perform better at home where I can compare it directly to the 50C10.

But against all other TVs up until 50K Php (barring the P50X50/XT50S from Panasonic), the 51F5000 beats all of them by a mile in terms of PQ. Calibration and possibly some break-in is needed, but I believe that's a given already with plasmas.

It's not fair to compare plasmas vs LCD/LEDs in this regard. Plasmas are already given to be much better at handling lower quality sources. We played 720p videos on a more expensive 46" full HD Samsung LED TV and the macroblocking was simply ugly. You can imagine how worse it'll be if you played back 480p content. It simply doesn't look as good as it does on the 51F5000.

Btw, would anyone know if it's really being offered at 12mos on other cards besides metrobank?

It is. I just said I paid it with my East West card in the previous page. Too bad today's the last day. So you either get it or you don't. I suggest you go for it. This is a steal.

i'm upgrading from a 5 year old Panasonic 42PV8 which is only 720p ... in my personal observation, the Samsung 51F5000 beats the old tv in every aspect in terms of picture quality ... i guess the other Panasonic models they are comparing it with are the higher models - it would probably be fair to compare those with the same model level

as for me, 30k+ 7-inch bigger screen and better picture quality than my Panasonic 42PV8 (which i bought for 60k 5 years ago), is a very good deal ... try watching BD or full-HD contents and all your worries about it's picture quality will be gone :)

As comparison witn Dymamic mode of Samsung 51F5000 vs Panasonic 42X30, super sunog yung sa Panasonic. Sa Samsung, its Dymanic mode is just right, not overly bright and saturated.

Pero sa Movie or Theater Mode, the Panasonic beats the Samsung by a MILE.

Pero syempre picture settings lang ito which can be customized at at desired settings

Thanks for this insight, Raptor!  Indeed, my TH-42C10S is one of the "lesser" models, which may explain why I was so impressed by the 51F500.  :)

try watching BD or full-HD contents and all your worries about it's picture quality will be gone :)

But this is also true!  :)

i think medyo exaggerated naman yung comment na "hindi halos mapakinabangan" sa bright environment ... there's a setting on room environment, you can set the picture mode for bright room use ... my living room is well lit at wala namang problema, but a good proof are the displays on Abenson stores - their stores are commonly brightly lit (e.g. Avant in Greenbelt and Abensons in Glorietta), and you would still see the picture quality standout ... not unless you're using the tv outdoors, standard living room areas would likely be less brighter than the Abenson stores i mentioned


we set it to dynamic torch mode during daylight but its not good for a cheap plasma panel like these it shortens the life cycle besides a dynamic torch mode produces a very ugly image. hehehe..

I was at AVANT Abenson Trinoma last night to view and demo this unit...

Im not here to bash the owners of this TV... just want to share my observations...

IMHO, the PQ is not at par with my current Pana 42VT30 unit...   Tried playing some of their USB sourced movies at 1080P... BLACKS are simply dull and pale in comparison with the VT30 (kahit naka DYNAMIC na yung SAMMY)... malayo talaga and PQ ng SAMMY PLASMA vs PANA PLASMA...  Not sure if this can be remedied thru color adjustment....

The back panel is very basic...very few connections...   

for first time PLASMA buyers (51inches@30K)... the TV unit is really a bargain.... You get the new "STANDARD" size plasma model...

But if you have tried and tested PANA Plasma PQ in DYNAMIC mode... The SAMMY PQ is really a disappointment...

I was planning to upgrade to a new 50 incher this year and got excited with previous posts about this SAMMY... But after you have gone PANA PLASMA... The PQ standards are very different and distinct... very difficult to change to a bigger size unit but with lower PQ quality (BLACK LEVELS)... :(

the Sammy is really a bargain at 30K for firstime buyers... But ill pass and probably look at other models in the market...

Thanks Guys...
it's not fair to compare the cheap 2013 sammy plasma to a high end 2011 plasma.

Siguro nga better to compare to the lower series of Panasonic para apples to apples and comparison. Although yung lower series kasi ng Panasonic, hindi 1080p e, so medyo mahirap icompare. Sa color output and contrast na lang siguro

At the end of the day, it's the value (cost + performance) of the unit that matters. Better compare 51F5000 to similarly priced full hd plasma of other brands, then that's a fair comparison.

Strongly agree... It's that insane mark down price and given performance
To be able to compare it to other brands/make you need to find something that will compete at that price range, specifications and performance.

The markdown is already a given. At that price point, it is fair to compare the unit with similarly priced plasmas of other brands. This is for those who are in the market to buy and not for those who just want endless comparisons with no intention of buying.

The problem is, the F5000 has zero competition in a very large price bracket. The next cheapest 1080p plasma starts at 53K Php, and that's the F5500, which is practically the F5000 with frame interpolation (like Panny's IFC and 120 Hz on LCDs), smart TV features and 3D.

The direct competition of this is (was) the Panasonic 50X50, SRP was 27K.

Pero para sa akin, super happy ako (yun ang mahalaga) sa 51" FullHD for only 30K.

I still have my Panasonic 42X30, nothing to say bad things about it, one of the cheapest 42 plasma but the quality is outstanding (same concept of the Samsung F5000, cheap but it doesnt perform cheap, gets?).

I just checked, my bad. No frame interpolation, though I swore I saw a table comparison and the F5500 supposedly had frame interpolation for the USDM variants.

Also, who's saying they have the same panel? No one.

in terms of specs, the real competition of the Samsung 51F5000 is the Panasonic 50S60 (Full HD, non-3D). sadly, it's not locally available.

hi everyone, im new here, i just had to check this with everyone who has this unit.
i also bought this TV last saturday at our local abenson branch here in naga & was also able to get the promo price for 30K+.
anyway, i noticed this just yesterday, and was wondering if it's a normal thing with plasma TVs.
there's a thin black line just below the TV border, it would appear above, right, left & below. but not all at the same time. and i tried turning the TV off & on again, and it would disappear, then i would check the TV a couple of minutes later, and it's there again. should i be concerned with this thin black line?
It's there on cable broadcast & HDD movies, even if it's 1080p.
Im thinking of having it exchanged as am still within the 7-day period. 

here's the link to the photos, i can't seem to make an attachment to this forum.

its not advisable to disable that pixel/orbiter while watching cable or on the air programs, your panel will be susceptible to burn-In images and once that happens say goodbye to your beloved f5000.

It is bang for buck so performance should be the bang
Bang could be defined as specific levels of display performance
In plasma it could be brightness, picture quality and power consumption
Features that lead to the ability to perform should be included in the "bang"

Anxiously waiting for delivery of my unit. Sana hindi sumablay ngayong araw at sayang ang leave.

you can go by customer reviews and expert reviews ... it's my next level criteria after short listing the choices i have for my budget ... below are links (Amazon customer reviews - 4 stars overall, and an expert review - 8.8/10), note that in other countries this has a model name of 51F5300 -

http://reviews.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/samsung-plasma-tv/samsung-pn51f5300.html

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN51F5300-51-Inch-1080p-Plasma/dp/B00BCPGNF8

then my final criteria is my own personal observation, and in this case since i'm replacing my Panasonic 42PV8, my point of comparison is my TV ... no point in comparing it with the other models since i've already done that on my short listing and wala naman akong ganoong model ng tv (IMO) ... and i'm no expert but based on my observations, it's a lot better than my PV8 which was also titled "bang for the buck" in this forum 5 years ago, hence my decision to purchase

when i decided to replace my old tv, which is also a plasma, i budgeted for around 60k as my old tv was 60k when i bought it ... i was open to LED this time, but it would be a challenge to get an LED for the price, and the other plasma tv that fit into that price range - my option narrowed down to the F5500 and F5000, and since i'm not into 3D and not impressed by the current smart tv features, F5000 was an easy choice ... now i got my tv upgraded, and a savings of almost 30k which i can probably use for the new XBox One that will be released this year - 51F500 + XBox One beats the smart tv features of any models out there ... really bang for the buck :)

I auditioned the Haier you're talking about. PQ sucks. The Skyworth 50E66 is much better imo, especially in cinema mode + DNR off + warm color temp setting. Soft on the eyes but details aren't smothered. No oversharpening either.  It has that plasma look to it. Also saw the newer Skyworth 50E77 which is slighty cheaper and has a questionable "80W power consumption" which is unbelievably low, but images are overprocessed to compensate for the lower quality panel.

still have to test it on Cignal dahil tepok na naman yung 2nd box ko sa taas sa tagal na hindi nagamit

Bro, question lang, did you download that Iron Man 3? ang laki.. 12GB.

I tried another 2.5" external hard drive also on FAT32. Works on the F5000. The WD hard drive I first used probably has higher power requirements.

Another peeve I have with the F5000 is while it has PIP, I can't select the audio source. The HDMI is the audio source by default. What if I want to hear the news while playing my games?

Anyway, aside from that dead pixel problem (which the store says they'll replacement on Friday), the TV overall is better than our old Panasonic 50C10 for everything but cable TV. Black levels are surprisingly good. About as good as my friend's Panasonic 50G20 plasma if I remember correctly... and the screen itself is equally as glossy. No LED no matter the price can match these black levels, so I'm happy with that.

I can buy more than 10 of these 51F5000s for the price of one of those. lmao. Besides, one can just buy a Panasonic S60/ST60 for less than half the price and those things wouldn't even stand a chance in PQ. Personally, a 4K TV would be a better purchase at those prices, even with the lack of 4K sources.

Anyway, I found an awesome calibration setting for the F5000 here:
http://reviews.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/samsung-plasma-tv/samsung-f5300-picture-settings.html

Good thing for the ISF-esque calibration settings available on the F5000.

it will output(optical out) dolby surround where the tv is receiving dolby signals coming from RF input other than that the tv's optical out will only pump out pcm stereo. 

I see... I'll try to play around with the settings in the receiver if I could increase the volume... like manually setting the input to PCM. Thanks!

Here are my observations with my upgrade. I just cited the advantages over the other.

Panasonic 42 PV7:
- Less reflective
- Better TV/Cable/Low quality source display
- Louder speakers
- More back panel connections

Samsung 51F5000:
- Sharper images (full HD)
- Size matters (50.7 inches!)
- Less motion blur (due to 600 sub-motion thingy?)
- Screen ~9 inches larger, but almost the same overall dimensions, and lighter by around 2kg than PV7
- Louder buzzing sound... but only noticeable when very very near

same here no buzzing sound even as near as a foot from the tv.
actually i was aware of this before my purchase from the comments i read from amazon.
but even on the display units at abensons i could not hear any buzzing sound.
so i figured maybe the ambient sound was noisier.
i checked for this again immediately after turning on the tv at our house - no buzzing sound.

so maybe i got lucky with my unit or i'm partially deaf hehehe.

The level varies from unit to unit and the audibility varies from person to person. Plasmas have a resonant circuit for energy recovery that often causes the buzzing (sometimes together with the drive circuit).

Some buzzing that's audible from a couple of feet away would likely be normal. If it's audible from your viewing spot, then that'd likely be a bigger problem.

Ha ha ha... wholesome ang FTV HD for the discerning taste in women lang

Regarding brightness in a bright room...
Nasubok ko na since yesterday in the bedroom din
Matindi pa liwanag dito after lunch until late in the afternoon
Walang binatbat brightness sa living room

All I can say is, what issue with brightness?
I still have the cell light at less 13 sa lagay na yan
17 if I need to go very bright on movie mode
kayang kaya naman pala and no real concerns needed

Mas nakaktakot yung image burn in
Kapag tinakbo yung scrolling gray pattern kitang kita mo yung images na bumakat
Sa case ko yung HDMI 1 na symbol sa upper right corner of the screen
For one thing noticeable lang yung image burn in kung nasa scrolling gray option ako

Sa normal viewing hindi pa kita, trying to research kung kelan ang advisable frequency
sa pag run ng gray scroll screen at gano katagal

May gumamit na ba?

Could you explain further?
"the ideal for light output for a plasma screen should be at least 30ft"
I find 20 very bright and image rendition is very good at 17
good for cable TV watching at 13 - watched I Robot on Fox Action last night
1080i Cignal HD output was very crisp especially the dark evening scenes
Action scenes have no issues with blur - so far very satisfied with the screen performance

Wala na ata nagoofer sir ng ganyang promo. I ask abenson about it last week, they said na pang september lang daw. The current promo for this is at 44k for cash then you will have a free 28 inch samsung led tv worth around 12k. What's good about this is that they are offering the TV for 0% installment up to 24 months.

Langya, parang mas magandang deal yung
44K for 24mos labas 1,833.33Php lang per month meron ka pang extra 28-incher LED TV
magaan buwanan pero mas mahaba ang bayaran

Sa 33K for 12mos 2,750Php per month, eh - wala pang extra TV
mabigat lalo na kung merong ibang naka charge sa same card

Ang panalo dito yung nakabili ng cash na 30K

So sa mga wala pa nito bili bili na at sulit na sulit yung promo

sorry, cash price pala nabigay ko. its around 48k pag binili using card and up to 24 months. although the deal is still not that bad. If you are going to sell the TV for 12K, the TV will still be at 36K then divide it through 24 months, 1500 lang monthly papatak. I believe its not for all abenson branch, yung nasa farmers, hindi alam yung promo na toh. Also, kausapin mo na lang yun sales person, pede pa maghaggle ng price if i know.

palagay ko yung system ng HDD ang may gawa niyan

meron kasamang back-up software yang HDD and formatted in a certain way
kaya siguro hindi makita nung TV files mo dahil hindi maintindihan yung file system ng mga hindi makitang files
mas mainam kung formatted as NTFS tapos katay original na software included sa drive

Half way through the moive it got really hot - back top vents and front screen
This thing needs air flow around it to survive the 5-years of service I expe
Serious air flow or air conditioning - 25C ambient already managed temps

I am very very happy with the picture quality
I followed the settings posted in a link on page 3 I think
The results are very very good - details of every surface are brought to life
I can actually identify moss and lichen on surfaces of rocks and tree bark in the movie
- where the scenes were actual live scenery footage compared to CG

Impressive - bang for the buck indeed

However, this worries me in summer time. As we all know summer heat here in the Philippines is very freaking HOT! So, I guess its time to turn on the Aircon! (Ooohhh the electric bill!   :'( )

Baka 720p ang Panny plasma mo sir kaya malamig.

Traditionally mas mainit pa ang 1080p Panny plasma sa 1080p Sammy plasma, kaya ang Sammy plasma matagal nang nakakagawa ng 1080p without cooling fans.  Ang Panny plasma, this year lang yata nakagawa ng 1080p plasma without cooling fans.

Nakakita nga ako ng 2011 Panny plasma on store display, may cooling fans na, ang init pa rin kahit nasa air con showroom.

On Panny, "Just" is short for "Justify," which means full screen with no stretching in the center, but with stretching on the left and right sides.  This is intended as a compromise between "Full" and "Zoom," where you minimize the stretching on Full, yet at the same time minimize cropping on Zoom.

On Sammy, "16:9" means full screen with overscan; "Screen Fit" means full screen without overscan.  However, Screen Fit only works on 1080i, 1080p and 720p sources.  Otherwise, "Screen Fit" will be be grayed out on the menu.

To see everything, you have to use 4:3.  But there's no way to see everything without pillarboxing from low-res 4:3 analog. 
 
Yung ABC5 specs ang may deperensiya.  The TV station should provide some allowance on the edges to assure compatibility.

Just actually means EXACT in Japanese.   ;)   No nuance at all.  Dapat perfect.

Just screen
Just 12 oclock
Just 1000 Yen
Just price
Just size
Just weight   ;D
Just waist  - walang tyan  ;D ;D
Just meet - napiso sa ulo or nasapok sa mukha -  Just example is Marquez' KO punch of Manny   ;D ;D ;D
Just hit - kapag bullseye
You are my JUST.   ;D ;D ;D
JUST for you...(wife's most favorite store slogan by Labi/Yamada - we are still debating the actual interpretation of this  ;D)

Puede ring JUST lang (Just Desu) in any situation na exacto.   ;D

I don't think the Japanese understand the meaning of the word Justify sa formatting or stretching.   Never heard them use that and they have been using Just in their vernacular as above bago pa naimbento ang TV  ;)

It's good that the problem appeared early so you can still get a new unit.
 
That's a common problem, not just on Sammy.  Usually it's not the plasma panel, but the Y-sustain board.  Either a loose ribbon connector to the board, or the board itself is defective.  The remedy is to check the connections; if problem is still there, replace sustain board.
 
In your case, it should be a TV replacement, since the unit is so new.

Agree po sa mga post nyo regarding babad time.
Mine super babad but at the lowest cell light setting na pwede to my eyes para more even muna ang phosphor torching and para ilabas na any factory defect at the earliest time for possible replacement. And before shutting down the TV, I always run the screen burn protection ( scrolling ) to 15 minutes auto shut down to eliminate all temporary IR as this TV is used for over 10 hours as a PC monitor.
Right now, we are continuously monitoring its energy/power consumption using the data logger voltcraft plus digital meter. As of today, I am expecting P400-P600 increase in Meralco bill. Not bad for a power hug TV that trounced our ex SD definition 40 inch Mitsubishi CRT TV, currently being used SD definition 37 inch Sony CRT TV, all our CCFL-LCD TVs and PC monitors, and all our LED-LCD TVs and PC monitors. Even the LG 50LN5400 that we recently bought for my sister's son PC monitor is no match to this TV's over all performance both as a PC monitor and for watching movies.
As expected, hindi pa rin nababago ang old data namin ni Tipidpc master about relative power consumption ng mga TV: same size po ang basis ng data at more or less lang ito

plasma ------ 100 watts ( reference consumption )
CCFL-LCD---- 60 watts
LED-LCD----- 40 watts

Our Sammy 51 inches na plasma is rated at 299 watts
LG 50LN5400 50 inches na LED-LCD is rated at 120 watts ( not very sure sa exact rating since wala na TV dito sa amin but tama pa rin ang data at the time we were doing the readings )
Oh boy, indeed this P30t plasma is a bang for the buck!
Right now, ipon mode for the 55 incher 4k TV baka late next year affordable na at kaya na talaga bilhin. We tried it at the store as a PC monitor and all I can say is watching it at 3 feet this is a perfect PC monitor.

Sabi ng papa ko our old discarded 40 inch Mitsubishi crt TV was more reflective than our currently alive and kicking 37 inch Sony crt TV. This Samsung plasma is less reflective than our Sony and we are watching at this crt TV in a bright and well lighted room, although I admit the set is not really facing the windows directly. If one is used to the old crt TVs well I don't find a bright room will give any one a headache unless the plasma is directly in front of the light source.
Our experience with this Sammy it is reflective but watchable just like an ordinary crt TV. But if one wants to fully enjoy the blacks and good contrast this plasma got then better control your environment.

yes okay na okay.
the TV is 3-ft away and perpendicular to a large window on the 2nd floor
perfectly viewable sa brightness set at 18 cell light and the detailed settings on the page 3 link
kahit afternoon around 2-3pm on a sunny day - the window is facing due west
white walls, white ceiling

I suppose 90 degrees to the light source is not much of a distraction

it's reflective and glossy yes
but does not reflect like a mirror
you need to have contrasting background and foreground subjects to notice the reflection
say white background and a dark subject foreground - still not as reflective
unless of course you're actually looking for reflections in the screen

So pleased with the 51f5000. Solid specs, no frills and it ended up cheap. I sold the free ledtv for a measly 11k. The plasma is indeed reflective in a well lit room but great naman at night. Curtains do the trick as well.
 Great with ps3, sometimes mw3 is literally in my face, the blu ray movies are crispy with really solid blacks. Media player movies via Elvira are as crisp as actual bd movies. no complaints there, it all depends on source quality. I had it wall mounted, 1k lang all in from Abenson's.
 I was aiming for the older 51e550, but stocks ran out when I had the resources to purchase. I consoled myself to the full hd sans 3d and smart features. Lo and behold nagka stocks sa sm appliance megamall at 42k. Grrrr.
 I did not break the unit in. it was totally an out of the box thing from day one, although i had to re box it due to a very persistent Habagat.
 It runs hot, yes. I have not felt peso wise how much electricity it consumes but I'm sure it will spike my bill a little.
 Sulit naman eh. sulit na sulit.

One more week of data logging on a voltcraft plus power/energy digital meter ay pwede na malalaman namin how much really is the power consumption of this power hug plasma. I will share it with you guys soon but as of now we already have a clear picture how this TV behaves as a PC monitor, as a TV and as a movie monitor.
Kung used ito as a PC monitor malakas ang power consumption since most of the time during browsing halos puti po lahat ang background ( 239 watts - 279 watts, depending on the picture setting ).  When used naman sa TV reception at movies halos walang pagkakaiba sa Sony 37 inch SD CRT monitor namin and sometimes reads lesser power consumption pa. Regardless of the picture mode selected ( dynamic, movie or standard ), once the signal is almost or completely black, the minimum power consumption is about 36 watts. And very interestingly, compared to our smaller CCFL-LCD TVs, this plasma by average consumes even lesser power. So many surprises on our part with the initial/partial observations but suffice it to say, as of this moment, if you intend to use this baby for TV and movie viewing as long as you don't torch it ( vivid ), DO NOT WORRY ON POWER/ENERGY CONSUMPTION !!!! Kung may kunting  dagdag man sa Meralco bill worth it po for the excellent viewing angle, very deep back, better contrast and more accurate skin tone compared to our LCDs.

Mr. skoooooooter,
Matagal na po ginagawa ng papa ko , as an electronics and medical engineer in the Silicon Valley, ang plasma as a PC monitor! Part of his job in the US even before nauso ang mga big LCD screen as PC monitors, sa kanya ay ordinary lang ang plasma gawin monitor. May technique po kasi ang pag gamit ng lahat ng bagay lalo sa electronics. Una ang mali ng maraming gumagamit ay may tendency na abusuhin ang gamit nya. Alam nyo po Mr. Skooooter, ang plasma na ito ay isa lang sa mga plasma na gamit namin dito at sa US subalit ayaw ko lang mag salita patungkol sa ibang brand na gamit namin at baka ma OT na masyado. For your info, Mr. Skoooooter, this Samsung plasma TV when used as a PC monitor consumes only 150 watts maximum and 70 watts minimum dahil we set our cell light at 0-3 only since our computer area is light controlled. This reading is no worse than our Sony, LG and Samsung CCF-LCD TVs.
The way you react po Mr. Skoooooooter to some ideas being shared by other PDVD members it is as if you ALWAYS have the first hand knowledge of the topic. LOL!
For your info, Mr. SKOOOOOOOTER, bata pa kami we were already used to big standard definition CRT TVs available in the market viewing at very close distances of less than 4 feet. Sanayan lang po yan sir Skooooter. Baka po kayo hindi sanay sa malalaki na screen at that distance lalo pa kung HD plasma lang. Baka  mahilo ka at mag suka !

Kaya nga po hintay lang namin maging reasonable ang price ng 4k TVs locally para maka ipon mode for the next purchase, to be used again as a PC monitor in a HTPC set up para sulit investment lalo kung to be used at least 10 hours a day.

I have nothing against your knowledge sourced primarily from GOOGLE but I still respect your narrow minded attitude towards some members in PDVD. Ni minsan po sa mga forums na ginawa ko ang pag sasagot-sagot sa members ng ganito sa inyo. Only now kasi iba ka sa majority ng mga members dito. SARCASTIC ka and sarcasm is a sign of ignorance and bitterness.

Back to sharing.......
The main reason why po may advantage using a big PC monitor is marami ka maopen at the same time. When browsing, we use here Winsplit Revolution free software para ilang sites simultaneously namin makikita  parang naka ilang monitors ka. Matipid instead of using eyefinity setup na gamit din namin sa isang HTPC dito. Kagandahan nito is when comparing prices, specs, etc. from different sites kita agad at the same time at katumbas ng ilang monitors na. Advantage pa pag movie mode na, iba pa rin ang big screen.

using the tv as a monitor has been one of my projects eversince crt days.. dun mo matutunan ang interlacing and etc.  dati sa crt tv masakit sa mata.. we wanted to play games in a big tv using the pc. pero di talaga kaya..

when hdtvs came out, medyo nakipagsabayan na sa resolution ng monitors.. imagine 640x480 dati tapos naging 800x600, and ngayon swak na ang 1280x720 upto 1920x 1080.. pero syempre as TVs improve, so did pc resolutions.. parang 1600x1200 now and 2560x1440 wqhd. again naiwan na naman si hdtv.. pero mukhang mag memeet sila sa UHD resolutions..

its really a blast hooking your PC to a TV monitor.. as they say. the bigger the better.

and i dont see nothing wrong kung gusto ng may ari ng TV i hook up ang PC nya sa TV.. its his money... he/she can do whatever he/she wishes...

heck, i can even buy a 4ktv and pasabugin ko.. pakialam ba ng ibang tao? pera ko naman ginamit ko diba?

ay onga pala.. di ko magagawa yun.. wala naman akong pambili e... di ako pasok sa profile ng potential buyer.. ;D

I was actually using my 2010 50V2 plasma as monitor for my HTPC for a while, and until recently, sometimes even using my wife's laptop.   Personally, I prefer the quality of text if I use the designated PC connection of the V2 (VGA) than HDMI - mas mild sa mata because it maxes at 1366x768 - perfectly fine for a 50 inch monitor.   If I use HDMI, I can get 1920x1080 but Full HD texts don't look as nice.
However, I'm not sure if such dedicated PC port is provided sa Samsung plasmas.

@anya618,
4 split screen po sir using Winsplit Revolution........

@Clondalkin,
unfortunately wala po sir VGA input ang 51F5000 plasma at adjust na lang sa sharpness ng TV at tweak sa text clarity using the PC itself ang ginawa namin......

whoa... I didn't know that pwede gawing monitor. I mean I read before na iba ang characteristics ng monitor vs a TV because of response rate or something. I tried it before back when ATI 4870 was still king and I did not like the results (drop in fps). But with advancements in technology if playing games using a monitor is the same as a tv mag 50 incher na ako... I can see myself playing fps rts games sa pc and sports and strategy sa ps3. I can live without the surfing part kasi may phone naman for that. Di naman malayo ang presyo sa mga 27" IPS na monitor or triple 22/24". Patay talaga ako ni misis pag naging totoo to... hahaha...

My HTPC is circa 2007 pa with Core2Duo and ATI4870 and I could feel na hirap nga yung PC - hindi as smooth compared to when Im just using a single monitor.    Masaya nga lang mag-browse sa PDVD at 2 meters away.  Hehehe.   Pero with more powerful CPUs and graphics cards these days, it should have improved a lot na...kaso, unless nagbago na ikot ng mundo, lagi namang number 1 na demanding sa PC hardware specs ang mga pinakabagong FPS games.  Palaging 1-2 generations ahead ang latest FPS games compared to mainstream PC specs.

Ang basic na difference ng HDTV and PC monitor, disabled or mahina ang video processing sa PC monitor.  Such video processing makes image (moving image) nicer at the expense of text quality.

hehehe pareho ata tayo ng set up. E-8400 + 4870. And true hirap siya sa 32" na LCD. When I upgraded to 5850 hirap pa din and modern warfare. hindi ko na inulit. I stuck w a 24" monitor

Please expound.
Ibig bang sabihin may processing na ginagawa ang monitor/hdtv pag nakakabit sa PC?
ang pagkakaintindi ko PC lahat ang processing at digital signal na lang tanggap ng TV (HDMI)
direct output labas niya 1:1
depende na sa playback software mo kung may tweaks na i-apply sa video playback

My original plan was also to use a 1080p TV as monitor for the bigger pixels for farther viewing
Subukan ko pa lang soon ang PC sa 51F5000 natin - mukhang swak resolution ng AMD E350 based HTPC
na gamit ko para dito - built in video support maxes out at 1080p

Hindi yun ang ibig ni Clondalkin.

Meaning pag ang isang FLAT panel ay PC monitor, yung built-in video processor nya (LCD chipset) ay mahina ang video processing to compensate for Text/vector quality.

Pag ang isang FLAT panel ay HDTV, concentrated naman sa video/graphics (moving images) ang processing ng chipset.

Walang kinalaman ang CPU.

The TV was finally delivered at 4pm earlier
Unfortunately my Sabre rack mount does not support the 400mm vertical

Is your rack the wall mount type? What does this mean - the rack is not big enough to use for a 51" tv?

Ha ha... Thanks. All clear now. I'd like to delve deeper but it'll be off topic.
Going back to topic, in my case, dalawa gamit kong displays.
This TV for movies and a PC monitor for computing and display intensive tasks (2560x1440)

Is your rack the wall mount type? What does this mean - the rack is not big enough to use for a 51" tv?

This is the rack I have
(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b290/mhyap/CentauriC-1.jpg)
This is the Centauri C
According to PDVD members who trade this model It'll only support up to 40-inches
I had no idea 50-inch TVs would go down to this price point back in 2009 when we got the rack
The vertical gray bars are only 320mm or so in length

In any case, the wife decided to configure the bedroom as the HT room instead of the
originally planned living room. So the 51F5000 will now stay in the bedroom

My challenge now is to accommodate the Onkyo HT-S5400 into the bedroom
It'll have to pass the scrutiny of the wife which means the speakers will have to be invisible
This will be a most interesting November build

Anyway, na-deliver na kanina yung mga units and im currently using the 28" as my PC monitor and TV as well in my room :)

But unfortunately, may tama yung 51" ko, I've watched 3 movies, Avatar, Madagascar 2 and Avengers... the PQ is outstanding, a great improvement from my Panny PV80, but on the 4th movie (Meet the Robinsons) may lumabas ng blue vertical line 15 inches from the right side of the Sammy, mula taas hanggang baba yung Blue Line... I'll visit Avant Abenson Trinoma tomorrow to report it and have my unit replaced since may 7 days replacement naman daw... hassle lang :(

Pareho tayo ng case bro, kanina after 3 movies may lumabas na Blue vertical line naman malapit sa right side ng screen... Napalitan na ba unit mo? Yung sa akin itatawag ko bukas sa store :(

i'm still waiting for the replacement, Samsung technicians went to check the unit last Wednesday and they said it would take around 5 business days to send the replacement ... green vertical line naman sa left side yung case ng tv ko ... pag nasa normal viewing distance, it is actually hard to notice

Tagal naman nun bro raptor, kanina tinawagan ko abenson avant, yung Sales rep na nag-assist sa amin, there will be someone who will check the unit tomorrow daw to make a report, then after that dun ko p lang malalaman kung ilang araw ang replacement, pero sinabihan ko na, kung gaano kabilis ang pagbili namin dapat ganun din kabilis ang service nila, sana lang tablan, hehehe :)

Hope we can have a good unit after this bro raptor..

We bought the unit in Abenson Avant Alabang Town Center. It was expected to be delivered yesterday. (I haven't seen it, coz I'm not staying at my parents' house at the moment)
I'm hoping to have a look at it later when I get home. I have a off topic question: in case I would sell the free 28" tv, how would the warranty be availed by the buyer (in case of any problem)?

http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,141042.120.html

nawala nung I accessed the service menu, eto sabi ni 45caliber:

"during standby.. press mo.. Info Menu Mute Power.. check mo yung service.. pero huwag ka gagalaw ng kahit anong settings baka ma-dead set yung unit.. to exit the service menu simply push the power off button"

although my unit was replaced by samsung, natanggal ko yung vertical line before napalitan. for the mean time while waiting for your replacement panel eh try nyo muna ito, or after ma-check ng technician eh saka niyo pala i-try hehe baka hindi palitan eh.

After watching for a bit at 5',  I feel that the viewing experience is highly dependent on the source material. My usual 2011 kdrama 1080p video which usually wows me whenever I watched it on the panny 42x30 at 5' was just ok at the same distance on the Sammy. The video looked really nice at 8' (or maybe 10)

I guess I haven't really calibrated it, so maybe that's also a factor. I just used the default movie setting (with some adjustments)

Samsung called me up regarding the defective unit ... they insisted that they will only be replacing the panel and not the whole unit, noting that the issue was reported after 7 days (10 days to be exact) ... i raised a complaint to Abenson's customer service noting that this is unacceptable ... they'll be communicating with Samsung, but so far it is a bad customer experience i'm getting from both Abenson and Samsung ... Abenson should've done their part and replace the unit and just coordinated directly with Samsung and not leave the customer in between; and Samsung should've recognized the manufacturing defect and just replaced the unit, not leaving the customer with a repaired unit barely a month from purchase ... response time for both also sucks, more than 2 weeks after the problem was reported is unacceptable, and worst is their decision to just repair

i miss the service i got from SNS when i purchased my Panny ... seems that gray units are even better purchases as long as you got it from reputable stores

i miss the service i got from SNS when i purchased my Panny ... seems that gray units are even better purchases as long as you got it from reputable stores

Sorry to hear that bro... very bad service nga from both side... hope maayos agad yung unit mo if ever na panel papalitan, at sana bago ang ipalit... by the way, may charge ba pag palit panel lang?

Ako naman last saturday bumili, delivered on sunday and reported the vertical line on monday and checked by Samsung tech on tuesday.. Wednesday na-fax yung report ng samsung sa Abenson Avant Trinoma, then thursday na-approve yung replacement ng unit, mamayang hapon daw ide-deliver... Sana wala maging hassle and sana wala ng problem yung replacement Unit..

Bro raptor, I live in Makati but was able to purchase my unit at Abenson Trinoma because magulo kausap ang mga tao dyan sa Abenson Glo at Green. No matter how much na insist ko that other branches are giving the offer ayaw pumayag but when we went to Abenson Trino immediately we were welcome with open arms.
I hope Trino is different from these two branches since hassle nga if in case something bad will happen to my unit.
If I were you, do not stop insisting to Samsung and Abenson for unit replacement. Sa Anson's Landmark replacement agad yan, based sa ilang experience namin. Too bad nga lang sir Vic and Anson's do not offer this TV.
Goodluck po bro raptor............

This Samsung comes with a two-year warranty. Minsan just be persistent for warranty claims, you have all right to ask for replacement of the unit, or for just part or just service.

Nasa negotiation lang yan. Or sindakan factor

Kokonti na nga ang nabibiling Panny, medyo marami pa rin ang reports ng sira.  Kung ang sales volume nila pareho ng Sammy, baka pareho lang ang dami ng complaints.

Umubra yung high tensile bolts na gamit ko sa oto
Yun lang maliit naman butas ng bracket para sa bolt!
Ipagpabukas ko na pagpalaki ng butas sa bracket.

That's a very good deal
I suggest like what most did - to burn in the panel as musch as possible within the return/replace period
I'm now watching Man of Steel

I'm having problems with Despicable Me 2 but it's most likely my playback source (AMD E350 based on Windows via XBMC)
I'll try downloading a new version and see if it will work.
The file plays back in Splash Lite but it doesn't output DTS HD
So off to a new version of XBMC or a fix.

Just to update you all guys, after my replacement was delivered last friday, i watched a remux Extended version of Avatar, when im on my 2 hours of watching may lumabas na naman na vertical line, this time sa left side naman at green naman... grabe naman palagi sa akin ang timing ngayon, hehehe so i reported agad and the sales person of Abenson trinoma, Elmo, ask his supervisor while im on the line for an urgent replacement at wag na dumaan sa process na kailangan pang puntahan ng samsung reps, naririnig ko yung usapan nila while im on the phone... that day nagpapaunta sila ng abenson representative sa bahay to make a report, yesterday they called me na ide-deliver yung 3rd unit by today, so waiting mode ako ngayon...

Siguro nga tyempuhan lang, nataon na 2 defective units ang napunta sa akin, sabi nila, 3rd unit na reported sa kanila yun pero the rest na nakabili sa kanila wala naman daw ganung issues...

If ever ganun pa din yung 3rd unit na napunta sa akin, ano kaya magandang gawin? refund? replace by another model (pero ayoko na magdagdag sa price) if ever... ang kinakatakot ko ngayon, what if the 7 days replacement period expires, pano na?

use to chase yung mga bargain tv such as this....but nowadays due to research(here at pdvd and some other sites etc..) at naging videophile ng taste natin so with that i usually lean into high-end plasma such as the sammy's F8500, hope to get it next week...

Let's hope the higher end units are less prone to such quality issues considering what you'll be paying for it

folks you can tsk your unit on how many hours has been used since you bought it. the service menu can be access thru your remote control by pressing some secret combinations of buttons but i don't know how to do it perhaps you can search it in the net. this way you will know how fresh your F5000 is.

bro, napapanahon sa Nov.1 yang experience mo sa tv ah. :)

wala naman sigurong "something" na nag cause nyan sa location ng tv mo? meganon?

matindi nyan, maubos na sa kakapalit hanggang sa lumagpas ng 7 days then charge to experience na lang kaya kung pwede after the 3rd unit na meron pa din, pa refund mo na.

Thanks Bro, sana nga :)

Anyway, since medyo ok na ang unit, bigay naman ako ng konting review...

This Plasma is way better than my ever dependable Panny PV80 in terms of Picture Quality, and it should be because its 1080p vs 720p panel... but for it's price, you cant go wrong with this model... Picture is Crisp already at a standard mode, but if you calibrate it, there's really a WOW factor in it. It's not as good as the higher model but it definitely will do the job... Panalo sa presyo at PQ!!! :)

Wag lang masisira, hehehe lahat naman ng unit may possibility pero if it will last for 3 or more years, then sulit na sulit na ang pagkakabili :)

I tried to download the latest firmware of this model which is the version 1023 and tried to upgrade the first 2 defective unit that i got, 1021 yung isa and the other one is version 1022. But everytime i upgrade the firmware, may message na lumalabas "Currently No available update" or something like that daw... Anyone who experienced it or tried updating their firmware? kung meron nakapag-update, ano difference?

Ensure mo na na extract mo yung nadownload mo na file (or click the exe file first) then a folder will be created and copy that to usb (or extract to USB) para mag engage ang firmware update

they finally agreed to have my TV replaced with a new unit, but i have to come to the store and present the invoice - quite lame, as they can just send over a replacement, but much better than continue to argue with them

Glad to hear that bro, hopefully the replacement is in great condition.. That's right, it's better na rin kaysa makipagtalo ka pa, mai-stress ka lang :)


PH units are coded ARXXP compared to the AU support site you posted for AMXXY
Check the link I gave on the next to last post on page 13

The FW you're trying to flash to is not supported by the units we have

Ensure mo na na extract mo yung nadownload mo na file (or click the exe file first) then a folder will be created and copy that to usb (or extract to USB) para mag engage ang firmware update


I see, i'll try this later... Thanks mga brader :)
btw, may malaking difference ba from the old firmware?

Brader Noli, hopefully last na palit na to, hehehe natapat lang siguro kasi yung panny pv80 ko naman walang naging problem sa pwesto at current setup ko e :)

Anyway, yesterday at 6PM my 3rd unit was delivered to me, i was the one who put it out of the box and same with other previous unit, it has 0 hours on it, so siguradong bnew... I watched for 7 1/2 hours last night and nearly 15 hours today straight and so far so good, hopefully this is it, and sana walang maging problem in the future yung TV :)


Sir,
Paano mo malalaman na zero hrs sya?  Ano ung procedure? 

TIA

TFS :D

Now madali ma detect kung repackaged / used unit ang unit na bibilihin ng mag buyers...

mas mahihirapan ang mga marketing people ng mga appliance companies if they are not aware of this and the buyers are from PDVD :D

Every weekends while supplies last yan mga brader, siguro iibahin lang nila ang offer like yung last time 33K ata without the Free 28" LED TV, please correct me if i'm wrong. Sana sa xmas sale mas maganda pa offer, malay nyo :)

Try Trinoma Avant if you can, based on my experience maayos naman silang kausap, very accomodating din :)
We got our TV here last night. Very accomodating nga. I also mentioned that i went there dahil sa after sales experience niyo and i was not disappointed. 3 tvs ang nabulsan because the 1st 2 had single dead pixels each. Marathon mode para macheck kung lalabas yung vertical lines within the 7 days period. Sana wala. :)

Notorious for DP pala talaga ang tv na ito. Kaya dapat talaga busisiing mabuti. Ang nakakalungkot nyan yung mga na reject mo mapapapunta sa kawawang walang time at sipat ng mga mata to check. Tsk tsk...

Siguro naman hindi kasi it will reflect on their service, kung may problems yung tv nila sa resellers, madaling papalitan sa samsung directly. they have nothing to gain and a lot to lose if they sell defective units. I also own one of this. going two weeks na hopefully no problems would come out

I got the unit at glorietta this morning. They gave it to me promo price, shop now pay later promo. Was going to to 6 months but the monthly is 6666.6. Natakot ako sa numero kaya i decided na 3months na lang.

After getting the unit napadaan ako sa listen up and ended up buying a pioneer vsx 522 and wharf diamond 9 hcp. Haven't got time to setup the entertainment system. Hopefully tom magka time ako para ma enjoy ko naman yung tv.

The 2 units with DP were marked as defective in front of me and will be shipped back to Samsung. To be fair with Avant, I did not even hear a hint of them trying to pass it on to me with the DP whereas I know from experience that other stores would have tried to. In fact the DP of the first unit was pointed out to me by their staff. The 2nd one was bigger and more obvious. It was a dark ugly spot.

Movie marathon and PS3 yesterday and today. So far so good.

esr101 sir,
magkano po bili sa Pioneer vsx 522?

some sharing about our TV:
kanina nasa galaan ako, naisipan ko ipagtanong kung may Samsung specific wall bracket para sa TV natin
sa Abenson sa Festival Mall itinuro ako nung napagtanungan kong sales person sa TV section
nung dumating don itinuturo naman ako sa CD-R King, he he he

habang andun kinumpara ko itong TV natin sa dalawang LED TVs sa tabi at ibabaw ng unit nila
mas matingkad ang kulay nung dalawang LEDs, iwan na iwan ang unit natin sa saturation non
hindi ko na inaalam settings ng bawat isa pero pansin ko demo videos (pareho palabas sa tatlo)
mas mataas brightness ng LED, over saturated yung LED, "artificial" looking yung sharpness ng LED
sobra naman softness ng TV natin at patay ang kulay - na realize ko na yung picture na maganda sa
paningin ko ay yung output ng LED - kahit alam kong hindi natural looking

merong kung ano na mahihila ka sa ganung klaseng output
nung lumabas na dark scenes kung hindi sanay mata mo mami-miss mo yung difference
at sasabihin mo pangit plasma pero kung alam mo kung ano talaga dapat ang scene na yun
matatawa ka na sa output na gusto ng mata ko

nakakatuwa, lesson learned - kelangan kong masubukan Apple iPhone ha ha ha
according to reviews close to reality display output ng iPhones

Samsung Galaxy user S2 -Tab 7.7 - S3 - Note 2 - Note 3 -soon S5
there's that something with amoled output (parang Kodak is color, ba)

Also, saw Sony Z Ultra ba yun, yung 6.4" phablet - galeng ng tri-luminous output
ang lake lang talaga - I digress

basta panalo itong TV natin - balik pagkikikil na sa wall mount ng maisabit na ito

Ako, just claimed the unit tonight sa abenson's market! Market! Now being tested. 2 hours so far, nothing worth worrying though i am not really sure if i can spot a dead pixel if there is one. Apparent to the naked eye ba talaga siya? Pa post pic na may DP :-)

It should be evident to the naked eye. You need to check the TV inch by inch. Sounds tedious but it's really easy and the DP will stand out if there is one.

use the color blue in looking for dead pixel.  litaw agad yung dead pixel or stuck pixel, white or black ang lalabas sa screen instead of blue.

Guys, share ko lang routine na ginawa ko when I bought my first 50" plasma.
I hope i'm not threadhjacking, just giving out pointers to fellow pdvd members.

I got 50" LG Pv500 and as i've read online, notorious sa pagkakaroon ng DP ang unit na'to, not to mention IR.
So after I bought the TV and fired it up, i avoided tv channels displaying static images too long. Ok lang yung mga channels which has translucent images, keri pa yon.

And I avoided watching widescreen (2.35:1) movies muna for the first 100 hours or so. When it's inevitable, I just stretch it to fill up the whole screen, to eliminate the black bars on top and bottom. Since I only watch the TV for about 2-3 hours a day, need to say, it took a while for my break-in to be done. Just to add, I also avoided playing games on my PS3 muna as gaming naturally will trigger IR on the plasma.

Fast forward to Day X wherein i've used the plasma for 100hrs or more. Lo and behold, I haven't experience any DP and IR up to this day. Sometimes, I even pause the movie for so long when I had to attend to my baby, and no IR whatsoever. I even play games frequently after the break-in period and no problems so far.

Maybe i'm just lucky with the unit I purchased or maybe the breaking-in really helped but I can attest to the latter if you want to keep your plasmas kicking for years and years to come.

P.S. Calibrate your plasmas and you'll definitely love it more. Mine's no VT/ZT60 but i feel i'm in front of a small cinema when i'm watching movies.

My 0.02 cents.

P.P.S Plasma is bought May 2012.

I tested this immediately as soon as i turned on the tv. Connected my laptop to the TV then loaded a blank white web page.

I noticed immediately the dead pixel although its very tiny since kita mo agad black dot.

I don't notice the dead pixel watching movies and other normal activities na gagawin mo sa TV. So for me it's not really a big deal but since nasa warranty period and they told me na pag may dead pixel i-replace nila ang unit ko then why not.

Siyempre iba pa din pag completely no issues ang unit mo.

Good to hear that your issue has been resolved. I just called abensons glorietta to follow up on my dead pixel issue. They will follow up with Samsung and get in touch with me within 30 mins time.

I hope to get a better after sales service from them. Right now i'm still using the unit since nahirapan ako i-setup so bawiin ko man lang yung hirap.

There are some info on the net that shows some ways to fix dead pixels. Might try this one to see if it does work. Pero right now i'd rather have the unit replaced by them than me trying to fix it.

I think i have to take back what I wrote. The person I talked to was really accomodating. Hopefully tuloy tuloy.

Samsung and abensons called me this morning and a samsung technician will visit the unit to check. Samsung will forward the report to abenson. Abenson advised me that I insist na replace ang unit since kakabili pa lang.

I will really insist na for replacement ang unit since last Sunday ko lang nabili to.

baka akala nila madispose nila ang mga units ng ganun na lamang - mali sila.

imagine kung magkano na ang kanilang lugi at abala...?

duda ko kaya naibenta na mura ang model na ito dahil yang batch na yan ang na reject sa US & other countries. tayo ang bagsakan ng mga basura nila. sad but true. no offense po sa mga nakabili ha. ;)

Konting abala lang siguro.  Hindi naman lugi.  Ibabalik lang nila sa Samsung yan, OK na.  Ang yaman ng Samsung, bale wala sa Samsung yan. 

Hindi siguro reject sa US.  Pag US, 110 volt only, not multi-volt.  At walang F5000 plasma sa US. 

Ewan natin kung reject from other countries like Australia, Thailand, etc.  Pero parang malabo, ang yaman kasi ng Samsung e.

The moment i heard that my cuzin bought this F5000 plasma i coudn't consider that it's a series 5 pdp until i saw it physically. coz all i know that if it is a series 5 pdp the correct variant name would be F550 not 5000???? and any lesser than F550 it would be the series 4 since i don't care about the series 4 pdp so i don't have any idea the features of series 4 pdp. Anyway i thought their F5000 is not a plasma but an LED panel instead but the price of that thing is so dirt cheap for a 51 inch. LED at saka full hd pa naging curios nako nito. So i did pay a personal visit to my cuzin's house to check it out so there it is a plasma panel indeed, hahahaha...but ahhh haven't heard my cuzin any complain about this such as defects dead pixel etc....other than it's a very reflective daw parang vanity mirror. lol....

Im impressed with the tv so far. Still using the unit while waiting for my replacement unit. No regrets in buying this one kahit na may minor defect. Honestly i can live with the 1 dead pixel even if di nila replace unit. Pero syempre......replace na lang.

Size makes a big difference coming from a 42 inch panasonic plasma. Experimenting with the tv using different movies with 5xxp to 1080p. Movies lower than 1080p still looks great on this tv (one reason is na-upscale na sia ng media player ko). The 1080p movies............. Excellent.

Bottomline is Im happy with my purchase and watching movies on this plasma tv.

I thought DP ang sakit lang ng mga LCD/LED at burn-in issue sa plasma...
anyway, is the green vertical line problem / issue is only for this Samsung model or does it affect other models as well?

Mga bro, question. I have been observing very closely the TV since i got it from the store. Actually, dahil dito sa pdvd naging OC ata ako, looking but not hoping to spot a DP :-)

Anyway, so far so good. Thing is that napansin ko lang na kung letters ang naka appear sa TV, parang malabo like yung parental guidance na words parang di clear. I also observed yung channel numbers parang ragged ang edges. Am not sure if nasanay lang ako sa LED kase yung ang pinalitan nya ( Sony EX410). Pero sa mga HD channels naman OK siya, very HD clear talaga.

Ganito po ba talaga ito sa mga non-HD channels? Thanks.

i have this TV for a little over a month now and i love it!
especially for it's value. samsung's inbuilt media player is awesome at playing and decoding various media formats. name it and it will play without a hitch. MKVs w high bitrate, flv, wmv, mov, DTS-HD, except Dolby TRUE HD. still my only gripe is the screen's glossy finish, making it reflective. but then again, thats to be expected from a plasma, good thing i have blackout curtains in my room.

are you saying the SD channels before were sharper in your LED TV?
the compared TVs may not be of equal series (knowing Sony) may edge enhancement yun sigurado
dun ko nga lalo na-appreciate PQ ng plasma, eh, yung over at artificial sharpening ng LED TVs
sa plasma natural na natural ang sharpness

pag SD yung material mo dapat eh pump up mo yung sharpness(as matter of fact yung default setting na sharpness na 20 ok na yun eh..)wag mo gawin zero ang resulta yan hindi na masyado vivid ang mga SD images mo,ka walang-wala buhay.

Although considerable and number of manufacturing defect that came out based on this thread, it is still encouraging kasi relatively maganda pa din ang response ng Samsung overall. Halos wala ng brand ngayon that could guarantee a perfect product out of the box and it pays to know which one responds acoording to warranty agreement.

Agree with you. This is my first time to own a samsung tv and first time that I encountered a dead pixel on my display. Samsung was really fast. They called early morning and within 2hrs nasa bahay na sila. Madali din kausap.

I agree as well. Talking about value for money for a TV, this is the real deal! Mukha lang dami incidents ng DP kase may dedicated thread here. Me, personally, wala pa naman problem at this is what i wanted to have for this year, an 51 inch HD Plasma that costs less than 30k (taking into consideration the cost of the free led tv of about 10-15k, srp).

I think Abensons/Avant, Glorietta/ Greenbelt offer the 51F5000 for 40k cash with bundled tv or 30+ without bundled tv. also, try inquiring about cash price/ no bundle if you do a walk-in inquiry at the store.

I'm not sure if the 40k "weekend" price promo is still ongoing though.

I recall asking din yan before sa ahente dun sa abensons glo and parang less 5k lang from the SRP ibabawas kung wala yung free tv. So, if 40k, bale 35k nalang. Feel ko lugi kase 12k srp pa niya. Ending e kumuha ako sa abensons market na 39,997 srp with the free tv. Supposedly cash pero since medyo nag haggle ako sa kanila, ended up installment 6 months, zero interest na buy now, pay 3 months after.

Hi guys,

May dedicated forum pala for this Plasma TV.

I bought mine last Oct 25 at Abenson Robinson's Ermita Manila. Costs me 39,997.00 for this plasma tv bundled with the 28 inch led tv. This tv performs very well considering its price and size, and I haven't experienced any issues with it. To those whore are interested with this bundled price, you can try at rob ermita during fridays and weekends lang.

And after all the test done, we all vote for plasma! over led ang hirap pala bumili ng plasma lahat ng sales person pinu-push ka to buy led lahat na ata ng negative with plasma na sabi na nila. Muntik narin akong bumigay even my wife to choose led, but in my mind is pdvd lahat ng nabasa ko sa mga comment ninyo, so thankful talaga ako with pinoydvd!.

regarding on movie list thru usb, is it possible ba to show cover art. :-[  or do i need an ext media player.

 BTW my kids requested to play "Man of Steel" and I remember when we watch it on cinema, the same
feeling watching to this plasma, two thumbs up 8). Just to remind sa mga bibili palang, may free grocery
ang abenson ngayon, sulit talaga.

hindi nagkasya mga kasamang bolts (maliit lahat)
may bolts ako sa oto yun nagkasya kaso maliit space ng slat para sa bolts (dahil maliit yung original bolts)
mag drill na lang ako para magkasya yung bolts

Also, what's the advisable height for this to be installed? Viewing po from around 6 ft, either seated or lying down sa sofa :)

Finally got a suitable fixed wall mount from Ace for 1,549.75Php
Perfect View sells it and North Bayou is the OEM
Product code is NBC3-F they have a tilting version, too for almost 2K

Sakto lang dimensions niya at sagad na sa 400 x 600mm
Rated to support 125Lbs (56.8Kgs) twice what our TV weighs

Besides the 3D feature, there's also the smart features ... here's a comparison of the 2 models from the Samsung website -

http://www.samsung.com/ph/consumer/tv-audio-video/tv/productcompare?prda=PS51F5500ARXXP&prdb=PS51F5000ARXXP

looks the same except for the 3D and Smart ... and on the inputs, the 5500 have 3 HDMI ports compared to 2 for the 5000 ... i would say that the price difference is worth it if you are after the 3D feature and smart features ... in my case though, i'm thinking that those are something that i would probably use for a week or two and would likely never use again, hence i went for this model

Hello, All.

Newbie here. Just bought this TV a few weeks ago (Abenson's Glorietta 40K with freebie on a Saturday).

Overall, I'm satisfied. However, I just noticed on black areas of the display, there are dancing green pixels. Did some research and came up with this link avsforum.com/t/946267/does-your-plasma-have-dancing-green-pixels.

Has anyone else had this experience with this unit? Have you reported this to Samsung and was it resolved successfully?

TIA.

If it appears only when you're too close to the TV, that's "dithering," which is normal on all plasma TVs, not just Samsung.

my pv80 has AR coating afaik..coming from a pana plasma hindi naman ako na bother..since I always watch with dim lights or lights off..

pero pag normal viewing lang..it's still ok for me.. since maliwanag output nya..

sanay naman ako sa reflective na screen sir. we also watch lights off and with blockout blinds + thick curtains pag maaraw pa dun sa isa naming plasma.

hindi ko lang ma-assess sa store since sobrang maliwanag if magiging tolerable sya pagdating na sa bahay. at least i got info from first hand users

I sold my Panasonic TH-42X20V then I got the 51 a month ago sa Cash and Carry,  42k orig price that time pero nakatawad ako hanggang 31k straight payment with free HT. I sold the HT for 5k. hehehe. ;D

Boss, saan sa cash and carry ka nakabili ng F5000? Sa anson's ba?

Abenson also has an ongoing deal for TV racks.  Ask the salesguys there.

But to answer your question, depende sa TV rack.  I suggest you look at the maximum weight that the rack can hold (it will be printed on the box), reduce it by 25%, and make sure the tv weighs less than the resulting arithmetic.

would anyone know if may difference and panel nito with F5500?

i was auditioning both yesterday sa ATC and it seems that mas reflective yung F5000
parang pareho lang naman yung lighting condition sa shops na natingnan ko, although magkaiba kasi yung pini-play kaya di ko ma-assess masyado

i actually don't need the 3d and smart features pero if F5500 offers a less reflective screen kahit konti, i'd be willing to get that. living room kasi yung pag lalagyan ng tv.. mejo maliwanag

F5500 has a real black panel thus it reproduced better blacks as long the F5500 is keep in a control light enviroment. if i were you i'll get the F5500 it's an award winning plasma and you can't go wrong with it.

thanks for the input!

@barrister

must be the demo video they are playing that made the F5500 seems less reflective. thanks for that info sir

@chatstix

Php 53400 sir for the F5500.. that is with free HT which the seller agreed to buy for 6k after redemption
so its about 16k more expensive than F5000, what you'll get for that amount are the following:

Smart functionality (dual core Procie)
3D functionality with 2 pcs 3D glasses
Wireless keyboard
Skype Camera
Slightly better looking Bezel (subjective - it has fiber glass border)
Real Black panel (according o Skooter)

1. White screen/blue screen to test and look for dead pixels.
2. How to check the color band? (If applicable)
3. How to check the "on" hours of the unit?

Will be getting probably tomorrow. :-) Thanks

Mga sirs, paano po ba pag test ng unit sa store?  I'll be bringing my laptop to test.

1. White screen/blue screen to test and look for dead pixels.
2. How to check the color band? (If applicable)
3. How to check the "on" hours of the unit?

Will be getting probably tomorrow. :-) Thanks

in my case I only bring my USB 2.0 loaded with big files movie with DTS decoded audio also w color pattern in 1080p format.

Notice ko lang with my tv After turning it on, the red indicator blink 5 times while tv is already open, ganun ba talaga? hindi ko kasi matandaan if it behave like that before. but everything is normal naman. Baka puede po pa observed naman po ung unit nyo. thanks

Ganyan din unit ko.

it's normal, just observed my unit ... same din

Tested this unit earlier in Avant Trinoma.. I was looking for a TV that will replace my old Samsung 43D450 720p in order to maximize my next gen gaming (PC and PS4).. I felt like I was still playing with my Xbox 360 even at ultra high settings with my old tv..

I brought my PC with me and the first thing I noticed is that the texts are sharper when I set the resolution to 1080p compared to my old 720p plasma.. Well it should be because it has a native resolution of 1080p :)

I started to play COD Ghosts, NBA 2K14 and NFS Rivals with ultra high settings.. It's better than my old tv but only by a small margin.. Maybe it's just the settings? But it definitely is lacking the detail/sharpness that I was looking for.. I think the image is probably on the soft side? Correct me if I'm wrong.. but walang wow factor for me yung difference between this and my old tv..

When it comes to input lag.. I didn't notice anything.. I think it is at par or maybe better than my old plasma.. But I still have to turn on V Sync to eliminate vertical tearing... BTW.. OT, I also tested the 4k TV of sony just for fun with an SRP of 400k and I have to say that it sucks when it comes to input lag.. I literally have to wait for quarter of a second before it reacts to the buttons that I press.. but when I set it to game mode.. It improved a little bit :)

Anyway.. when it comes to movies... I tried playing The Avengers that's around 16gb.. not sure if it's enough to test the PQ but ayun..sad to say..wala parin wow factor for me.. It is definitely better than my old plasma but only by a little bit..I think the difference is negligible.. But there's a lot of factors to consider maybe the tv settings or the environment but at the end of the day.. Maybe it's just preference so I just let my eyes be the judge and went for an LED TV instead..

Was originally choosing between the LG 42LA6130/6200, PS514900 (3D features) and Qube 50QTV (HD-Smart). But after reading a lot (PDVD, Google) regarding this TV, napa-"impulse" buy na ko yesterday (before stocks run out). ;D

I have been an LCD/LED user ever since and this will be the first time I'll be using plasma. I admit that during the demo yesterday (demo unit was set to dynamic), medyo nanibago kami ni wifey in terms of the PQ. Nasanay kasi kami ng high contrast/brightness sa LED that's why when I compared it side by side with an LED using the same video, medyo mukhang dull yung (white) background. But one thing I noticed is that this TV had better sharpness, details, and motion rate compared to the LED. This I had to explain to wifey to convince her to allow me to purchase the unit. ::)

What concerns me now is the power consumption, esp. with the impending P3.00/Kwh increase by Meralco. I just hope that what's posted for the 51F5300 (US) "typical power consumption @ 78W" is true. Kakabili ko lang plasma, sabay taas ng Meralco rates, talk about timing. :o

BTW, I got the unit from Abenson's Calamba (WalterMart) for 30,997 (minus the freebie). And yes, they are offering a wall mount + installation for 998.00 (or was it 997.00). I'm just waiting for their delivery advise. Hoping this unit will serve us well. ;)

@Icermad,
The image is really soft compared to others models. But there is also the lights in Avant Trinoma that contributes to it. The image considerably grew sharper when we brought the TV home. There was less light and glare on where it is placed so the improvement was really noticeable. Wow factor is a different matter because for me, the price itself is the WOW factor because you get a very good TV at a very good price. Congratulations on your choice and hopefully all our units would be free of trouble in the years to come.

@Disturbed - Thank you sir!

@Gunslinger.. Yeah.. actually.. This is a really good price.. I was really excited to purchase this model.. That's why when I was waiting for them to process my payment..I saw this TV again playing The Impossible and I started to wonder if I really made the right choice.. hahaha :) When it comes to movies, plasma will still be better than LED TV's for me..

I think nobody is saying that LED/LCD TVs sucks in playing movies.
There are LED/LCD TVs that are near plasma PQ like my previous Toshiba XL700 series...
Most people lang here are impressed with Plasma PQ in movies ;)

Yeah ok din naman yung LCD/LED TV's for movies... I had an LCD TV dati and PQ is good as well and that was 2years ago but that TV was 3 years old na at that time kaya wala na yung mga new features ngayon... Now ko lang ulit mattry yung PQ ng LED TV for movies... And based on what I saw.. It's pretty good naman for movies :)

Not sure If accurate but sabi ng iba, yung PQ daw ng mga entry level plasmas comparable na sa high end LED TV's?

To each his own talaga when it comes to PQ. Other people might appreciate the natural hue of colors rendered in Plasma while others would prefer the vivid colors displayed in most LED TVs.

Tama yan sir.

Old LCDs looked terrible.  Pero yung mga bagong LED ngayon, malaki na ang improvement.  Side by side with a plasma, maganda rin ang LED.   

Yes, mas maganda pa rin ang plasma sa cinematic look and more natural 24p motion, pero konting konti lang ang difference.  Halos pareho na.

Siguro sa dark room performance na lang talaga hindi matatalo ang plasma.

No, OLED is not a "true LED."  In fact, it's not even close.
 
LED is LCD.  OLED is not LCD.
 
No, OLED and LED black levels will not be close.  OLED black levels can produce zero luminance, and that's better than any other monitor ever made.  Better than any LCD/LED or plasma or CRT.

The LED TVs being referred today are just plain LCD screens with LED backlights...
LED TVs today are just misconception because they are not really LED screens.
True LED TV is NOT LCD...
OLED screens are True LED TVs because the panel itself is made of LED and not just LCD with LED backlights...

comment ko lang is medyo very flexible ung swivel stand niya. i might just put some 3/4 plywood at the back to stabilize the tv.  here in visayas, we are paranoid of the earthquake, baka mahulog ang tv. hehehe

Mine was finally delivered today minus the noche buena package (no stocks daw). Currently testing the unit, so far so good. I have a few questions though (1st time plasma user here):
1. Is burn-in still required? Presently on standard mode.
2. Can I apply the recommended calibration settings already?
3. TV has one audio out only via optical. I connected the TV's optical out to the optical in of my HTIB. Now my WDTV Live outputs sound in "stereo" mode only. In my previous setup, NMT's optical out was directly hooked-up to the HTIB and it is able to output sound via "digital via optical". Is there any workaround or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

to Panasonic PV80/PV8 ex- owners, significant back ang upgrade from PV80 PV8? Planning to upgrade to 50/51". Sticking to plasma.

first off, the increase in screen size is quite significant ... for analog cable source, nothing much except for the bigger screen ... but if you're using digital cable source (HD or not) and using HD sources (BD and NMT), the upgrade is quite significant in my observation ... i'm able to compare analog cable and digital source because the way our provider (Cablelink) is setup - basic channels on analog cable and the add-on packages (SD and HD) on digital cable box

in conclusion, it's a highly recommended upgrade especially if you have good quality video source

Anyway, share lang po at medyo naging ma drama pa ung storya ng TV namin. Nakita kasi namin na nag price drop ung TV to 35,997 kaso nakalimutan nila palitan ung FREE na TV 28" padin ung nasa offer

Walang cash ngaun, pero nag deposit ako. Day before na kukunin ko na, they were trying to correct their miss but we didnt give in and after 3 hours they still ended giving me the 28" free at 35,997

Not something to brag about, just a lesson learned for Abensons na ayusin ung mga promotions nila before opening their shop

pwede pala 31k @ 3 months 0 interest! try kong tanungin sa Abensons Glorietta, Greenbelt, at Waltermart Makati. (mga branches na to pinakamalapit sa akin. ;))

@disturbed

thanks! :)

My unit developed a blue vertical line on the left side, similar sa experience nung iba.

Fortunately, like them, my TV is under warranty and pipickup naman ng samsung.

Hopefully, mabilis nila ma resolve.

Just got ours yesterday :)

Thanks po sa mga current owner ng TV na to, and dun sa mga gustong kumuha d po kayu mag sisisi :P

Anyway, share lang po at medyo naging ma drama pa ung storya ng TV namin. Nakita kasi namin na nag price drop ung TV to 35,997 kaso nakalimutan nila palitan ung FREE na TV 28" padin ung nasa offer

Walang cash ngaun, pero nag deposit ako. Day before na kukunin ko na, they were trying to correct their miss but we didnt give in and after 3 hours they still ended giving me the 28" free at 35,997

Not something to brag about, just a lesson learned for Abensons na ayusin ung mga promotions nila before opening their shop


Ano ba sana ang free kapalit ng 28" o wala nang free?

Yup 23" ung free pag 35,997 pero pag 28" 42 ata ung retail price. Na saktuhan ko lang na ndi sila nakapag update ng promo nila pero nag mark down sila from 42k to 36k

So naging 36k+28" ung sakin :)

Hanep 26k lang ang plasma mo assuming mabenta mo sa 10k ang 28". Ayosh!

Mine doesn't. Babad din kami sa ABS-CBN. Currently my TV is set to "Standard" (cell light = 12 for TV broadcasts) and "Dynamic" when watching movies although I set the cell light to 18 (default is 20). Pixel shift is enabled.

I've read somewhere in this thread to avoid setting cell light to maximum during the first 100hrs of use (break-in period?). I just followed this although some say break-in is not required.

Mine was delivered the next day. Abensons Calamba had no stocks and had to order from the warehouse (Cavite). Actually they were suggesting to deliver the TV straight to our house (from the warehouse) para daw makuha ko agad. I just insisted to have the TV delivered at Abensons so I can check/test first para in case may problem pwede agad palitan sa shop (they ordered 3 para may back-up). After inspection & testing saka ko lang po pina-deliver sa bahay.

BTW, I paid P400 for the delivery. :(

is there also a wall mount which you can adjust the distance from the back of the unit against the wall? so that you can have enough space for the ventilation of the heat.

If I'm not mistaken around 6K ata...

you might need to check your NMT ... i have no similar problems, although i'm connecting my NMT to AVR before tv

with regards to channel arrangement, pwede naman re-arrange, just like what i did pero pagtya-tyagaan mo talaga - not sure if it's my cable provider (Cablelink), but even on my Panasonic tv hindi rin naka-arrange ng maayos using auto tuning ... i would suggest obtaining a list of the correct arrangement and printing it on paper para may guide ka, but isa-isa mo talaga babaguhin

Hi,

Just got my unit at Abenson trinoma. Trying it out tonight with my flashdrive. Do you guys have that "Options" letters (image retention na ba to?). Just noticed kasi I turned all the lights off. Its on the right corner, movie kasi pinapanood ko so andoon siya sa black border area. Please advise, Wall bracket will be installed on wednesday so I might ask for replacement na agad sana.

The 51F5000 I purchased last 8/822/2013 in Avant Trinoma is due for replacement because of a defective motherboard. Samsung technician was trying to blame the hdmi switch for the problem. They say replacement will take 2-3 days. We'll see what happens.

Samsung Tech just replaced the SVC-Module of my panel. Total down time was around 7-days -- 3-days for diagnosis and another 4-days to order the part & install it.

You might want to try the Abenson's in house mount. It was 999 last August, all in. Distance from the wall is substantial, enough for ventilation and cables. It is generic but not bad. I have no complaints. They installed it the next day, 20+ minutes lang and they were done. Malinis pa mag trabaho.

I think it's actually more susceptible to IR when a panel is new becuase the phosphors burn brighter when they're new.

same as mine (although the one I have is 3D version brother PF515500).  so I've decided to reduce muna yung contrast and i break-in ko (kahit sabi ng iba dito na hindi na need).  mostly nangyayari naman sa akin is when watching tv and yung mga network logos yung na re-retain.  so, ginawa ko dun sa picture size is instead of 16:9 I set it to zoom na lang.

Hdmi switch has been disconnected since the first repair to rule it out as the cause of damage. Looks like it is unrelated.

Kung may takot, hanap ka na lang ng iba. Sa daming units na pinaayos o pinalitan, sapat na para iwasan. Medyo may kasamang risk ang purchase.

I'll break-in my unit up to 100 hours so I watch with no black bars at the moment.
Also followed the calibration settings provided in page 3 but I set the contrast to 90 instead of 100.

It doesn't matter which brand you get as it's optical.

No one's stopping you from getting the most expensive brand, but it won't be any better than the 200 peso kind.

Nope, di po sayang yan. Connect your TV's optical out to the optical in of your receiver. Then set the TV's speaker settings to external speaker and select DTS. Sound output will be very much different as compared to PCM (when speaker settings set to TV, dolby and DTS are grayed out).

As what sir raptor said, it's better to have an external player. In the meantime enjoy your TV and your HT. ;)

raptor is right...there's no way you can get DTS from the tv's optical out, you would know that coz your HT would indicate in its display on what type of signal is receiving.

The TV got extended use during xmas and xmas eve from friends and relatives who paid us a visit. Outside of the occasional stuck pixel, there have been absolutely no issues at all with PQ, response rate and IR.

Over 30 hours of use logged and did not go through any break-in slides or anything of the sort.

Default modes are Standard for cable and Movie mode for HDMI. Sports and Game modes have not yet been used. Manufacture date is July 2013 with firmware version 1024.1.

Needless to say, I have been very happy with this purchase.

:)

Same here, no issues so far after 3 weeks of use. Mon-Fri TV use average of 3hrs/day. Sat-Sun movie mode, average 8hrs/day. Extremely satisfied with this purchase. Coming from LED, this TV now has become my standard when it comes to PQ (haven't even tried tweaking the calibration settings yet).

Sir, did you update your firmware? Is there a significant difference compared to the stock firmware? TIA!

Kumusta po power consumption nyo in terms of your electric bill using this plasma? I just received my electric bill yesterday and walang difference sa power consumption ko after almost a month of use. From our Meralco digital meter, I have observed the 51F5000 to consume around 150W.

I use this TV at an average of 40hrs/week (Eco mode). If my electric bill won't increase this 2014 then this TV is one of the best purchases I ever made. ;D

Saang Abenson yan? Sa Market Market at Avant Greenbelt they are still offering the free 23" at 36k. Fo an additional 4k baka mas ok kasi di na kelangan benta ang ka-bundle na tv. Big enough to be used.

Yup that's it. Is that something that can adjusted or native na yung 600hz na subfield motion?

Iba yung motion interpolation sa sub-field drive.

Samsung's term for motion interpolation is "Clear Motion Rate" (CMR). 

Samsung's term for sub-field drive is "Subfield Motion."  Sub-field drive is not motion interpolation and has nothing to do with motion interpolation. 

Confusing, kasi mahilig talaga sa misleading marketing terms ang Samsung.

Ang CMR ay meron lang sa Samsung LED; walang ganon sa Samsung plasma. 

Ang 600Hz subfield motion naman, sa Samsung plasma lang; walang ganon sa Samsung LED.  Hindi adjustable ang subfield motion ng Samsung plasma (hindi rin adjustable ang sub-field drive ng kahit anong plasma TV).

Eto ang dapat na tanong mo sir --- What is subfield motion and what does it do?   ;)

Thanks for the clarification barrister. Googled it and provide some basic info on subfield motion and what it does. Thanks again!

was suppose to get this last saturday night, ang bigay sa akin is 35.9K free 28" LED, pag check ko ng unit, may 1 dead pixel, so i said kuha pa ulit iba stock, pag dating nung kapalit, check ulit, may 2 dead pixels naman, i was suppose to get the 1st unit but to haggle some more, dahil nga may dead pixel, sabay alok nung toshiba 50" led na additional 1k na lang daw. (wala lang freebie), since mas malinaw at mas matipid ang LED, we opt to get the 50" toshiba led, instead.  ok sya, sobrang liwanag, naka standard setting lang, masyado malinaw pag naka dynamic. we only watch @ night, thats why.  btw, switching from 32" to 50" was really amazing!!! hehehe, I still think that 51" samsung's plasma + free 28" led is really bang for buck deal, if they have a unit in better condition, i still would have got it. 

at first pala, sinabi ng SA na may increase na nga, dahil bigger screen yung free, i think 40K na nga ata, but then bigay nila ng old price if cash/straight charge ka. 40K 0% deferred.  HTH. 

yung 1 dead pixel is not obvious, and will not affect your vieweing pleasure, medyo tinamaan lang ako ng pagka OC when i saw yung diagnostic sa menu, kaya nakita. but i can live with it, kung natuloy kong nakuha.

I suggest you work with the basic preset picture settings of the TV for now.  As soon as the plasma has reached the 100th hour of use, then do calibration settings (you will need to do some backreading).

Don't worry, you won't need to do any break-in procedures for this tv.

waltermart makati.  40K was their 1st offer since the freebie is already 28", then i asked, how much if cash/straight charge, he asked his manager and said 35.9K.  It really was a great deal na talaga, old price, but bigger freebie, san ka pa??  may in-built media player pa.  We tested mkv and works like a charm. too bad, no better stock for me, so ended with the toshiba 50" led.  So happy with my fate, mas malinaw at mas matipid sa kuryente at 135W lang.  while the unit i replace (32" lcd) was 180W, I just didnt get the power consumption of this plasma.

Ano kaya problema?

The Samsung guy will be the one, though,  to install it daw accdg. to the Abensons sales person. I scheduled the installation this saturday, Samsung's schedule permitting.

Try changing the cable. Or the HD could be faulty as well. Process of elimination muna. If it exihibits the same symptom like the rest, pwede naman pacheck sa Samsung tech yung USB port.

If I am not mistaken, there is a complete batch of 1TB WD portable drives that are defective. I also have a 1TB WD portable which I bought a from a group on site before. It is barely detected by any device sadly.

Can someone be kind to post a pic of this plasma under bright room lights?

Planning to buy a bedroom TV where I am currently assigned, and the Samsung 5300 (seems equivalent to the 5100) is the only 1080p plasma I can find for around $690 at Amazon.  Too bad I passed on the 50ST50 for the same price last year. 

I checked the latest $399 42 inch 720p plasmas from Panasonic, LG and Samsung.  While LG seems to be the best choice among the 720ps, the screen door effect, even for 42 inchers, bothers me even in the store's display room.   Paano na kung 50 incher.  Wala na lahat ng 1080p Panasonics kaya I'm even considering 1080 LEDs na.

Am stuck and in the same dilemma sir,...
Baka in the end ay mauwi din ako sa Samsung 8500 na medyo mahal,
or mapilitan na lang sa 240hz na LED,...

It was a choice between the washer and dryer or the 65VT60,
had to choose the first one at mas importante sa bahay,
by the time na may pambili na ay napakamahal na ng Viera,
worse, wala ng stock sa Best Buy, puro online na lang,...

LEDs of the same size and even bigger ay mas mura ng bahagya,
so I might end up getting a 70 LED with a much lower price tag,
had to sacrifice one or the other aspect,...

Anyway, good luck sir,...

Regards,...

I checked the latest $399 42 inch 720p plasmas from Panasonic, LG and Samsung.  While LG seems to be the best choice among the 720ps, the screen door effect, even for 42 inchers, bothers me even in the store's display room.   Paano na kung 50 incher.  Wala na lahat ng 1080p Panasonics kaya I'm even considering 1080 LEDs na.

Thanks!

Kelan kaya lalabas ang upgrade sa 8500? -  in order to bring down the price of the 8500.  hehehe.

Or better yet, hopefully Samsung will offer an equivalent model to the ST60.  Masyadong malayo ang gap ng 5100/5300/5500 sa 8500...and matagal pa magmumura ang OLED and malayo pa ang 4K contents.  I'm just hoping for more plasma TV choices at least until the new TV techs become mainstream.

Or ilabas nalang muna lahat ng hoarded na ST60s and VT60s.  hehehe.

that's basically the price ... you can avail of a lower price only if you do not get the free 28-inch tv ... it's about 30,200+ without the freebie

My unit's now on its, more or less, 129th hour since January 25 and doin' great!  Got a bit worried when I saw a green vertical line about an inch from the right side during a TV commercial last Friday night but it disappeared when the next TV ad came...I guess it was because of the TV broadcast or commercial, hopefully.

Got this unit from Avant Greenbelt last Friday :) Delivered Sunday, but just installed today.

Price there is 31,995, for card straight charge without free TV. If you want the nicer deals being posted, check the other branches of Abenson or Avant. I tried asking for the 30,995 or 30,200 lower price posted here but was told no. Since I have no EQ, just pulled the trigger :)

it's good, but you would really notice the big difference in picture quality watching BD, HD movies from NMT, or HD broadcast ... you would likely just opt for HD contents

No.
The speakers can get very loud, especially in an enclosed area like a room
Our house has crappy 2-inch hollow walls with 4.5mm hardiflex panels
when the volume is set to 25 the room next to ours can hear the sound clearly

after months of having this unit, yesterday was the first time I tried it's media player feature and I'm very impressed with the picture and sound quality ... I plugged-in my 1TB WD Passport yesterday and watched a 1080p version of Frozen - picture and sound quality was superb ... I initially tried to play the movie on my more than 5-year old NMT, and sound was lagging badly - good to know that I have an alternative built-in on my TV before, gives me more time before I need to replace my NMT :)

In any case, I do agree that the PQ is excellent.

good thing is that they offer good warranty service and 2-year warranty ... i think that the issues are due to bad batch on manufacturing, and once you got that unit or part replaced, it should be good to last for years

Also planning to get this. I inquired at Abensons Waltermart Erod yesterday and they have this promo. They are still advertising the Buy 1 Get 1 for 39.9k but you can opt out of the 28" tv for 31.9k

I'm also thinking if there are better or similar options to this TV? An LED that's the same price range, at least 42" and does not require 3D or smart features. Any recommendations guys?

Nothing beats a peace of mind of a proper warranty. Learned from experience, have it at least 2 year warranty, 3 year warranty would be best.

Avoid static images for the first 100 hours or so. So zoom in TV broadcasts para mawala yung station ID. Zoom in letterboxed movies para mawala yung black bars. And avoid gaming first particularly those games with static images (like status bars).

Some people also recommend putting settings on mild first.

Of course, some people will also say none of this is necessary. :) (I did it anyway.)

How is the power consumption compared to a 51" LED TV?
Title: Re: Samsung 51F5000 - Bang for the Buck Full HD Plasma
Post by: Verbl Kint on Apr 15, 2014 at 09:08 PM
I would say the difference probably translates to less than 100 pesos a month for 6 hours a day of regular viewing.  Note that I am not an electrical engineer and that I'm just guesstimating. :D

I did some research on the web.  This website has a calculator for power comparison and electricity cost comparison:
http://www.rtings.com/info/lcd-vs-led-vs-plasma/power-consumption-and-electricity-cost

I've also read an article that says the average cost of electricity in the Philippines in 2013 is 24 US cents per kilowatt.

http://www.manilatimes.net/high-electricity-costs-root-of-our-backwardness/66574/

Using the calculator from the first link, I compared 51" LED TV to 51" plasma TV, 6 hours of usage a day, at 24 US cents per kilowatt.

The result:
51" LED TV
Power Consumption - 60 watts
Yearly Electricity Cost - $31.54 or P1,419.30

51" Plasma TV
Power Consumption - 114 watts
Yearly Electricity Cost - $59.93 or 2,696.85

Difference of P1,277.55 per year or P106.46 per month.

If you're replacing a 42", then you should be fine.

If you want to be truly adherent to TV sizes vis a vis viewing distance, then 65" would be best for 1080p video at 10 feet.  For 720p, 50 inches at 10 feet will do.  Note that viewing angles may also be a factor.

Nearest viewing distance for a 50" is one and a half size of the screen, so 75" is 6.25 feet.

I have a 50" plasma and my viewing distance is 12' and i wish I am nearer to the screen.

Just look for a TV stand that says it can support 50" and up. Not those that can support 32"-50" as it might be on the lighter side of stands.

Visit SM Home Appliance, Abenson or Anson's and they sure will have some in store for you.

I myself is using a 2-tier stand with built-in TV mount, but decided against mounting it as it seems not secured enough. Ended up putting it on top of the glass stand (it says it can support up to 35 kgs).

At 5 hours a day of use, you'll probably only save about P1k-1.2k a year (very rough estimate). You're better off just choosing whether you really want a plasma or an LED, regardless of the cost. If you want the smart features, I think the plasma equivalent is the 51F5500.

as per Sardaukar, you will not be getting the ROI if you choose LED tv ... if that is your only consideration for choosing the LED tv, it's not worth it ... it really depends on your technology preference and usage

Hi guys!

For the owners of this Plasma TV, so far no issues, no problems? I'm planning to get a 50-incher for the bedroom as the 40-incher looks "small"...Personally, I have had issues with Samsung before so i am quite hesitant to dive again into the brand however, if you all have great experience/s on this particular model then it's worth a try (maybe?)...Main issue w/ Samsung is their power supply usually becomes problematic after 2-years (we had 3 TVs with this issue) then add up the "after sales service" of Samsung...

First time samsung owner with this tv. No problems so far but its only 8mos and i only use to watch movies so i can't really say na gamit na gamit ko siya. Approximately less than 300hours use pa lang. When i bought it may 1 dead pixel. Samsung replaced it with a new unit. So for after sales, i'm satisfied.

Would i recommend this unit. Definitely yes.

@Superman, my unit is only 4 months. No problems so far. Very happy with picture quality, my only caveat is the reflective screen, which I found to be more reflective than my old Panasonic plasma. But I watch mostly at night, and in the morning I have blinds to control the light, so I have managed to minimize this issue.

Just to share with the group our latest experience with this plasma tv: three Saturdays ago there was lightning and thunderstorm in our area so as a precaution, I removed from the plug all our plasma and a/c units. In the evening, when I plugged the plasma back, the Samsung sign would come out but could not continue the process.  Instead, we had repeated cycles of on/off and clicking of the power indicator similar to those experienced by previous Samsung owners who suffered from capacitor problems.  Anyway, I reported this to the 1-800 no of Samsung who then scheduled a visit by a Samsung serviceman the following Monday. Actually, the serviceman came on Tuesday morning and diagnosed and repaired the problem in no time.  Accdg. to the serviceman, he needed to upgrade the software/firmware and do the hard reset of the unit. The whole process was fast and every efficiently done.  By the way, we bought our plasma from Abenson Avant Trinoma last September 2013.  Our plasma is now ok and we are back to viewing NBA games!

sir, just like to note that the likely source of surge would be on the cable/RF antenna connection ... in my case i use a surge protector ... if you are unplugging as a precaution during thunder storms, i would suggest disconnecting the cable or RF antenna connection as well

Samsung 51H5000
PhP 42,200.00 no freebies (SRP is 46,900.00)


Some disctict feature compared to 2013 model (the 51F5000)

- Screen Capture
- Soccer mode
- Enhanced picture quality with deeper black and clearer motion
The Samsung Plasma TV can produce extremely dark images that are four times more detailed than a 2013 Plasma TV model. Not only that, fast moving scenes are displayed smoothly with improved clarity for lifelike action and movement. It will take your viewing experience to the next level, especially for watching beautifully shot movies and dynamic sports games.

if it's as good as advertised, the 51H5000 will be a good buy, cause i really have no complaint with the current Samsung 51F5000 that i have ... i've never enjoyed watching the NBA games in HD as with this TV - i've had it for around 8 months now, but really gives me a smile when i watch HD channels

I think some Abensons branches don't allow it. I was lucky to be able to get mine for 30997 at Abenson's, Glorietta.

Bro. Raptor, THANKS for answering the phone re: my inquiry. I was in the mall over lunch and brought my HDD with me with MKV files. I was able to do an A-B comparison of this Philips 50-incher vs the Toshiba 50-incher vs the Samsung 50F5000 Plasma...Well, alam mo na ang kasunod! :D :D :D

Considering it is a sealed LAST unit...OH WELL...took the dive...Good luck to me! :D

I plugged in my laptop to the TV. There's an online test you can do to detect dead pixels on the screen of the plasma TV. It flashes different solid colors on the screen and from there you can spot the dead pixel/s.

Successfully installed the unit via wall mount this evening, special thanks to Samsung Davao's technicians. Indeed, this is one of my BEST BUYS!...Excellent PQ even via default "standard" or "dynamic" picture settings. Used the recommended setting/calibration (via a link in this thread)...a definite STUNNER! Beats the hell out of my Toshiba 39" LED TV...VERY HAPPY! :D

Need advise pls.

Am choosing between this 51F5000 and 51F4900, both offered at same price (P31k). I understand that 4900 is 3D while 5000 is not. And 5000 is FHD while 4900 is not.

But for my untrained eye, what would you suggest? 3D might come in handy for the kids. And do you know of better offers than this price for either of there 2 models? Other alternative brands/models at comparatively similar size/price?

Thanks a lot.

personally, i would go for the 51F5000 because of FHD capability, the advantage on resolution is something that you would regularly use until the time you let go of the tv ... 3D and Smart features are something that you would use in 2-3 weeks time then forget about it - first off, the smart features, however intuitive they are on commercials are really not that user friendly to use, you would be better off using your computer ... then the 3D, in my own experience (having another tv with 3D features), it was a big hit especially with the kids on the first 2 or 3 weeks - my tv with 3D is barely 2 months old and that 3D feature is forgotten ... just my opinion and my own experience anyway

another thing, i would not recommend Samsung for 3D because they use active glasses - free glasses are few, and additional glasses are expensive

+1 go for FHD than 3D.  I also have this unit and with a good source, this can produce very decent PQ.

Yes. it uses clear panel.

Some distinct feature compared to 2013 model (the 51F5000)

- Screen Capture
- Soccer mode
- Enhanced picture quality with deeper black and clearer motion
The Samsung Plasma TV can produce extremely dark images that are four times more detailed than a 2013 Plasma TV model. Not only that, fast moving scenes are displayed smoothly with improved clarity for lifelike action and movement. It will take your viewing experience to the next level, especially for watching beautifully shot movies and dynamic sports games.

I got the h5000, its good a TV, it is not up to the quality of the kuro, but what is??
I tried comparing it to the old kuro and the kuro has definitely better blacks and buzzes less. then again its 3x the price.

I got the h5000, its good a TV, it is not up to the quality of the kuro, but what is??
I tried comparing it to the old kuro and the kuro has definitely better blacks and buzzes less. then again its 3x the price.

No more like a panel buzz. put your ears on the back of the TV. From my browsing, they say its natural for some plasma TVs to do this. I hear it goes away after 200 hours. Mine buzzes a little but non issue for me.

Hi guys, update ko lang what happened to my Samsung 51f5000 just an hour ago. After 10 months of 3 to 4 hours of daily usage, my plasma set suddenly stopped working. My wife and I were watching a movie via the built it media player (usb) when the picture went totally black immediately after a crackling sound. Now, the TV won't even turn on. Will call the service center tomorrow for the warranty enforcement.
The pq of this set is really good (especially after calibration) compared to other TVs I had kaya I am a bit disappointed na 10 months lang ang dumaan then nasira agad. Anyways, wish me luck guys.

Hi guys,  my plasma TV is back to normal again. The Samsung tech guy replaced the x & y main board.  I appreciate the fast response and service ng Samsung tech service. Four hours lang after I reported the matter may dumating na agad na tech guy to check the unit. After three days napalitan na ung broken board. Hopefully, this issue on the board won't happen again.

Anyway,  we already bought 51H5000 at abenson market market. two days ago..  ok na ok yung Pq, medyo di lang ako satisfied sa liwanag nya, yung snow kasi parang kulay gray.. ganon ba talaga o kailangan pa i calibrate? o baka naman nasanay lang ako sa led tv.

My TV stopped working after almost a year (11 months and 2 weeks). We're using it 3 hours, 4x a week.
The power light is blinking, but there is no display when it is turned on.

Samsung replaced the panel, and a couple of ICs/Boards... and is now working again.

Kudos for Samsung's fast response, but i think they should've replaced the entire TV because they already replaced a lot of parts anyways. They also mentioned that this TV has 2 years warranty, and not 1.

Post by: JQ on Sep 22, 2014 at 02:26 PM
Really happy I found this thread. Was eyeing the 51H4500/51H4900 at SM Appliances last Saturday due to their low price (sub-30k) but was disappointed with the resolution - 720p on a 51" panel really showed the pixels even at a distance. Because of this I dejectedly decided to go for an edge-lit LED panel either from Samsung or Sony, and at a smaller size of 40". Wasn't really looking for a feature-rich TV, just wanted one with excellent picture quality and color rendition.

Buti nalang I didn't jump the gun and decided to trawl the net for local TV reviews - which is when I found this thread. I didn't know Samsung had a full HD PDP available locally since it was only SM Appliances that I looked at in passing, but boy was I enthused about it. Long story short it took me just overnight to decide on getting a 51H5000 since I really wanted a plasma over an edge-lit LED unit - it's either plasma or OLED (but the price difference is worlds apart). Called Abenson Greenhills Sunday morning, it was mine (along with a Samsung 28H4100) for the regular price of Php39,997 in the afternoon. I could've gotten it for only 32k but the 28" LED TV for 8k was a steal, and a good upgrade for my in-law's CRT oldie.

Really, really happy. Also inputted the calibration settings from AVS Forum (http://www.avsforum.com/forum/167-plasma-flat-panel-displays/1503133-samsung-pn51f5300-what-little-gem-i1pro-calibration-results-inside-33.html - North American counterpart). It's staggeringly good for the price - color rendition is excellent, black levels are really deep, and motion blur is nonexistent and comparable to gaming monitors a step below the best. Another relative wanted to buy one almost immediately upon finding out its price! And this is a guy who has screens in every room of his house (nothing less than 40") with varying technologies (I dunno he collects?) like his rear-projection TV from the 90s to his pride and joy - a 78" curved Samsung Series 9.

Really really happy. I've no need for 3D or any of that Smart TV crap that gets obsolete almost immediately with nonexistent support so the 51H5000 really fits my needs. It sucks though that connectivity was skimped on (to cut costs) but dang, nothing comes close in terms of raw performance (except probably for OLED which costs an arm, a leg, and probably one of my balls).

If you can afford one, get it. I mean it. And thanks to the community for providing a lot of info on pricing, good deals, and tech info which really helped get the ball rolling for me to get the 2014 version of the 51F5000.

One question though, which I'm not sure if it has been answered before in this thread - is the pixel layout pentile on the 51H5000, or a regular RGB stripe?

Don't worry.  AFAIK, Samsung has never made a PenTile plasma TV smaller than 60 inches.

In 2012, the PenTile panel was on the 60E550; in 2013, it was the 60F5000, 60F5300 and 60F5500; in 2014, it's the 64H5000.

That's good to know - I almost lost sleep due to this but wasn't really sure because I've only seen pentile displays on Samsung mobile phones, and I don't have one to compare with the screen. Pero grabe ganda talaga ng plasma na ito for how much I paid for it. Thanks for the info!

After a long month of wait & 8 hours drive to General Santos City, Finally had my first Plasma TV, the 51H500. Im still in awe for the PQ of this unit, a total upgrade from a 14" laptop! ;D
Though im no expert in TV's, im really impressed with crisp & detailed picture, & almost lifelike colors it produces..thats  from a ripped Bluray pa, how much more if from a blu ray Disk!
And an ambient light is tolerable, doesn't reflect much on the screen, but its really at its best on a dark room..

Hooked in to my system via Laptop>Udac>RegaBrio3>MA RX1, instant mini Theater. it was way better than JBL SB200 that i auditioned. Naka tipid pa! i almost bought the JBL SB200. >:D

Many thanks for Sir Barrister for answering my Questions & to the PDVD community, for always providing

went to avant trinoma yesterday. sales guy said they can give the 51h5000 for 29,997 without the freebie for cash or straight card payment. was tempted to buy one. but am still saving for the f8500. anson's trinoma guy said they can still source it from one of their branches. if the f8500 is no longer available by christmas time, i'll get the h5000. i just hope they still have stocks by then.

One year and 32 pages after.
Still going strong yung unit though hindi ganong gamit
On average siguro less than 10-hours a week


The TV was finally delivered at 4pm earlier
Unfortunately my Sabre rack mount does not support the 400mm vertical

using the stand temporarily and in the bedroom
malupit nga (I only have a 37-inch 720p 5-yr old Panasonic LCD to compare it to)
still have to try it in very bright environments after I move it to the living room

As for USB playback it can play the following
16GB USB 3 Sandisk Ultra
 1TB USB 2 Western Digital My Passport drive

Plays all I've thrown at it
Now watching Iron Man 3 1080p 12GB file, subtitle working nicely, too

Astig din digital audio out nito puwede magpasa ng DTS, DD and DTS Neo ba yun?
But I need an optical cable to see if it will pass the 5.1 audio to my receiver
Kung sakali ang galing ng media player niya

My software version is T-NVTF6DAAC-1022.0

Hindi lang ako bilib sa base - plastic yung neck connecting the TV to the stand
Plastic din yung quad legs. Only metal part is the pivot where the neck screws down to.

Glass front pala ito kaya reflective. Very very good light transmission in a dark room
Yun lang masyadong maliwanag para sa akin yung Movie mode so toned it down to 17 in the cell light setting

over all bang for the buck talaga
still have to test it on Cignal dahil tepok na naman yung 2nd box ko sa taas sa tagal na hindi nagamit

Sagad na daw yan e. Wala na kasi promo na may kasamang 28 inches na led. Isa pa. Nagkakaubusan na ng stocks. Ang tagal namin sa store. Ang daming tinawagan ng manager na ibang branches looking for stocks. Sa galleria nakakita ng isa.

Mga bossing experts sa plasma, paano proper way ng break in ng H5000?

Sagad ba cell lighting setting nyo?

Anong level ng contrast recommended nyo?

was in ayala fairview terraces mall this weekend. while waiting for the wife, i went inside abenson to check on the 51h5000. interested on this unit but only if the f8500 is absolutely no longer available when i receive my bonus come december. i asked the sales guy if they still have a closed box unit. he said they only have a demo unit which has been running intermittently for only 2 weeks. i dared him to check the mrt using mute-7,3,7-enter. the mrt was about 1400 hours! sales guys will say anything just to make a sale.
and this makes me wonder. are there really no stocks left or is abenson just trying to dump their demo units first before releasing the other stocks?

Really hard to know. But as per my experience with Avant Trinoma it took a while for the manager to call other branches (abensons) to get a unit for me. In fact it took a bit longer and they gave me and my wife bottled water while waiting for confirmation that there's a stock available. I even humored my wife not to drink the water in case there's no unit available, they'll be charging us for the bottled water. :)

It's unlikely that they will not give you an available closed-box unit. 
 
The purchasers of big appliance stores know that 1080p plasmas do not sell well, so they usually have very few stocks on hand.
 
It's hard to anticipate when demand for higher-end plasmas will sudenly spike, since the buyers are just a small group of enthusiasts --- a small minority compared with the general buying public.

^Ang lamig ng aircon mo. 30 lang panel temp. Sa akin pag check ko 45.

Nadeliver na unit ko kanina. 0 din MRT. When i use dead pixel test slides. Merong isa pag white and green bg and seen pag one foot away mukha ko sa panel. Nawawala pag red and blue. Medyo malapit sa gitna pero di ko nakikita kahit white bg pag more than a foot away.

I can live with it. in fact i wouldn't have noticed it if I did not intentionally looked at it, but at the back of my mind there's a voice whispering: "7 days replacement warranty"

My dilemma is that since sealed ang deliveries, there's a chance na meron o higit pang DP sa bago. what if kapapalit umabot ako sa 7 days?

Should i ask for replacement?  Bulacan ang location ko. Should i contact samsung or avant? Paano kung mas maraming dead pixel ang replacement?

You should call avant they will be the ones coordinating with them. When I bought my f5000 last year, meron din dead pixels. Konti lang naman, yes di nga siya totally bothersome pero still why settle for it kung pwede naman nila palitan.

I called abenson's glorietta about it then they coordinated with Samsung. Samsung went to our place and checked then suggested na since bagong bili, replacement na lang. Within two weeks I got a new TV that has no dead pixels.

I already called Avant Trinoma and talked to Branch Head Ms. Dela Cruz. I told her her store has a good reputation when it comes to after sales, she's very accomodating. I know sa business die nila na kahit paano may lugi silang bahagya sa akin dahil sa distance ko.

I am really torn between the hassle of changing the TV again and setting it up, etc, and the fact na isang maliit na unnoticeable dead subpixel (i know now na green subpixel ang dead and not the entire pixel because umiilaw pa din ang red and blue)

Dahil sa full color slides ko lang napansin yung kaisa-isang yun. Kahit ba isa pwede palitan?

Yes sir, maayos naman kausap mga tao dun. pati nagassist sa purchase ko (Andy) tinetext ako ngayon coordinating the technician's visit. di lang siya aware na nagkakadead pixel ang plasma pero after explaining okay naman.

One should check 5 colors (slides) pala for dead pixels:

Red- for dead red subpixel
Blue- for dead Blue subpixel
Green- for dead green subpixel
Black- for stuck pixel (all RGB subpixels)
White- for dead pixel (all RGB subpixels)

What you saw was technically a stuck pixel and not a dead one. Dead pixels are black and can be seen easily using any plain color background. Stuck pixels are ok.

But since Samsung is replacing your panel anyway, who am I to argue? :))

Btw, my panel doesn't go over 42 Celsius and the room doesn't have air-conditioning.

Yung isang plasma namin sa bahay, wala naman akong nakikitang IR. Used it for movies, cable tv watching and ps3 gaming. Unit is 43f4000.

Yung isang plasma namin sa bahay, wala naman akong nakikitang IR. Used it for movies, cable tv watching and ps3 gaming. Unit is 43f4000.

Ung led tv is around 48K. More expensive ng 12K. And thats a 2013 model. Pero yung equivalent na 2014 model is close to 80K naman. So mura na yung 48K.

I am waiting now for the delivery of the replacement. Sana wala ng issue sa bago. ayoko na talaga mag lcd/led.

kagabi sa episode na CAVES ng Planet Earth, sabi ng asawa ko, ngayon lang daw nya nakita yung detalye sa loob ng cave na dati akala nya ay simpleng dark corners lang, :)

Kung may available pa, mga returned units na may dead pixel na lang yon.

Btw what is the firmware version on your H5000? My unit before has 1010, the replacement is 1008. I wonder when the update file will be posted for the Philippines. Malaysia is at 1015 version already

Update: My replacement has a dead pixel again :(

^To answer my own question, it seems Samsung Philippines already has the update file hidden in their website (the 51H5000 is not yet listed in their TV homepage list of TV models, and one has to search deeper to find the file).

Here is where the file and the updating guide are:

http://www.samsung.com/ph/support/model/PA51H5000ARXXP

Here is the specific link for the update file:

The latest as of September 2014 is version 1015 (same with malaysia)

when they delivered the replacement unit sa akin last year. They were the ones who unboxed it and assembled my unit. We actually tested the unit to check na no more dead pixel.

Oh well, maybe you could call abensons again and report it again. Hassle lang talaga and nakaka-stress din kung iisipin.

Why don't you just go to avant then dun mo itest if may dead pixel ? Atleast kung duon pa lang meron na problem you can request kagad for a replacement, if okay na yung unit and perfect screen dun mo lang ipa deliver.  If this does not bother you then wag ka na magpalit.

Avant is asking me if I am open for replacement of other kind and brand. I really like plasma now (first-time plasma owner) and I can't imagine going back to LED/LCD Tvs again.

I can live with one dead pixel than screen uniformity problems prevalent in other types because of the nature of their lighting.

BTW, where can we buy M8 size screws? I checked out ACE and they don't have M8s. They do have 5/16 which is 8mm as per conversion table but I tried and they don't fit with the holes of the H5000 at the back.

I plan to secure the TV to the TV rack (wood) via string/cable so it wont drop screen side down. Wall mounting is impossible in my case

Thank you Mr. Barrister for your assistance over PMs. Finally brought home this unit, factory sealed, we just tried it out at the store. Unfortunately, it did not recognize my phone, so just checked the picture quality, didn't notice any dead pix.
Haven't installed it yet since requested Samsung tech to do it for me tomorrow, bought a HDMI and do the testing in front of them. Will keep you posted, thanks again...

well in my case, okay na na may isang dead pixel.

I'd rather have this than screen uniformity ng LCD/LED because of lighting.

Plus if you see the black levels in a dark room, mapapawow ka. 

Kaya kahit inooferran nila ako ng isang LG LED na higher price (3K more) na wala akong idadagdag kahit singko, di ko pinapalitan. Critical na nga lang daw ang stocks.

Kung ako sa inyo, bumili na kayo, machecheck nyo naman sa store yung running time at kung may dead pixel e.

1. there is no control on the tv, so if i lose the remote or it breaks down,i'm dead (haven't read manual yet)
2. Watching regular tv isn't as nice as my previous pan but HD is a lot better
3. even if i zoom, there are still images, so i guess will have to do with it
4. when i play dvd, its not as clear as my panny, maybe due to 1080p, this means i  have to use an external drive instead.
5. cord is too short had to use extension.


I will reply to Barrister outside PM for others to benefit also from my initial concerns

I went to Samsung Bonaventure to make a dp for another remote, as said over the phone, but they had one in stock so I got it already, 325.00, you can order same model, 3 days from warehouse initially.

yes, I will have to agree, it's not fair to compare the 42 panny with this 51 sammy, but i am still adjusting since am slowly making adjustments while breaking it in, so so break in lang. Heavy heart delivering the panny to my brother last Sunday but it made him happy, so ending, everybody happy...

concerning the logos, almost all channels have it already, so i just change channels often so as not to have that IR, am more concerned and pleased that there are no dead pixels

as for the DVD, hahaha, the video out wasn't plugged in properly, tightly, that was why i was so dismayed at first, all's good now, hooked up active speakers already, slowly enjoying it (pics adjustments nalang)

as for the power cord/cable, it is really too short, but nothing else to do.

thank you again Barrister for your time, really appreciate it. my offer still stands, coffee or some drinks on me,  i don't have an idea of your location, but if ever you'll be in San Juan area, PM me, so we can exchange mobile, thanks again

I will follow Louie and Quitacet to update next week, thanks also for the file.

Me naka experience na ba sa H5000 nyo ng Pink/Magenta Noise (Not sure kung eto nga tamang tawag)?
kung saan ay me lumalabas na pink noise occasionally sa very bright  area like clouds.. Sa MOVIE setting ko lang na encounter to pero sa STANDARD wala naman.

No, hindi pink noise ang tawag don.  Pink noise is sound, not picture.

Every octave on pink noise has the same amount of energy.  Sound engineers use it as a reference signal.  That's the test tone generated by AV Receivers for calibration.

Baka pink discoloration?  Parang ganito:

i will have to agree with you on your statement, even i was amazed with the black levels of this unit. at this point, colors are close to perfect, for my viewing, although it may need just a little more adjustments in the long run.

it's a good feeling to realize that i made this purchase, at the right time, after checking the MRT, am sure this is a bnew unit and reading back that units are already unavailable, i just hope that it lasts without any issues until my next.

di kaya nirerefurbished lang then ipapaikot lang din? dun sa system kasi ng Abensons isang provincial store na lang ang meron and di pa sure baka display unit lang din. yung rep ng Samsung sa Abensons na ang nagsabi sakin na ibang unit (whether different model/brand) na lang kunin dahil di talaga malaman kung magkaka-stock pa.

yung replacement ko sa Pasig depot ng Abenson nanggagaling e. Tapos i was informed by Michelle of Samsung na ready na daw bnew unit ko for replacement which i refused kasi nga hassle magpaplit-palit e, humirit na lang ako ng additional warranty which was approved.

did you take note of the serial number/s of the first unit? you should have it in the original OR, or in the Samsung service document. post mo para malaman natin kung na kanino, hehehe

yung replacement ko sa Pasig depot ng Abenson nanggagaling e. Tapos i was informed by Michelle of Samsung na ready na daw bnew unit ko for replacement which i refused kasi nga hassle magpaplit-palit e, humirit na lang ako ng additional warranty which was approved.

sealed bnew yun, saan kayang abenson nakarating yun?

yung una kong unit na pinalitan, 12 hours lang MRT nun at isang dead pixel lang na di halata. saan kaya napunta yun hehehehehe

sana nga ginawa ko na lang inuwi ko saka ko tinawag na may gasgas. at least yun na ang TV ko tapos palitan na lang nila pag meron man ipapalit. actually nasa lower right lang siya and di naman masyado haharang kaso yun nga may picture quality degregation makikita sa baba.

oo nga dapat ganun. meron pa sa Samsung na mga sealed units nito.

ako maselan din  pero naatim kong may 1 dead pixel in exchange of the superb PQ ng plasmang ito e. naiisip ko din kung better ang black levels ng f8500, sobrang ganda na nun, kasi dito pa lang itim na itim na ang black for my taste

ako din dati, 1 dead pixel naisip ko na din palagpasin. Under normal viewing di mo mahalata. Pag talagang hinanap mo lang makikita mo. So I would say na for some talaga it would not be a big deal.

actually, ako pa nakakita ng gasgas. dapat hindi ko na tinuro dun sa sales agent hehe. although di naman ako nagsisisi sa sharp 50" ko kasi i'm using it now sa PC ko. iniisip ko nga kung ibenta ko na lang yung 23" 1080p ko na Asus monitor.

Just got this TV delivered to our house today, brand new, no dead pixel, 0 MRT, no issues whatsoever. Also updated it to firmware 1017 na rin. Just inputted the main picture settings I remember from my previous 43E490 (w/c was handed  down to my sis), and it was good to go. Excellent PQ! Still looking to find a more specific calibration setting for this set.

Now, test mode and break-in for the next few days para kung may defect na lumabas pasok pa sa replacement period.  :)

Bought the tv from calamba. I was a gonna settle for a display unit because I know this set is now hard to find. Passed my DP test, but unfortunately, upon closer inspection, had multiple panel scratches on it. They said they'll try to ask other branches if they have other units because there are none in their depots. They'll contact us once a unit has been found.

Replacement tv came from Bicutan. Only unit they had left. Swerte lang talaga at may sealed brand new pa na nakuha.

F is 2013 so last year's model. H yung sumunod (yung latest--and last). I think barrister has the E. Pero weird ng model number. Parang dapat 4 digits na yung last numbers. F5000 or F5500 dapat so baka naman E nga. Regardless, mahal nga. There was a time when that could be had for less than 50k.

Pero, kung gusto mo talaga ng plasma...those might be the last plasmas around. I went around several appliance stores in Makati yesterday and asked if they still had plasmas (just out of curiosity). Wala na lahat. Ang meron na lang was Automatic Center and it was just a 43" H4900.

This ain't bad considering the base price of the 5000 is 32k. so add 10k for the ht system or led. and the 3d smart functionality will set you back another 10k or so. still a good buy for those who weren't able to get the 5000.

If you can still find a H5000 plasma, then by all means get it. 720p plasma for a 51" is a big no no.   Ang lalaki ng pixel.

Otherwise, get a 55" LED instead

The Samsung guys looked at the internals and mentioned the panel needs to be replaced. Saying that it's probably leaking gas. Need to wait another couple of days.

Too bad about the TV.

Replace panel kasi leaking plasma gas, ewan ko lang, parang duda ako sa diagnosis.  Pero sana tama sila.

Pop sound then no picture is usually a blown capacitor.  Hindi sila nagpapalit ng capacitor lang, so, replace board usually.

My thoughts exactly. Leaking plasma gas would not cause the pop.

I had a flawless panel, too. At least, I thought I did.

Got the panel replaced; very happy that there were no dead pixels. Btw, it *seems* the panel I got looked a bit different, in some cases better than the old one. Will try to recalibrate this weekend with the good old Spears and Munsil BD.

Btw, after doing mute 737 enter, mains running time is at 118 hours. The Samsung guy said this was what was saved on the board but that the panel is brand new. The tech asked if I wanted a system reset but I said no.

This is what I meant in my previous posts re another member's unit showing 0 as MRT when his panel got replaced.

With the increase in production cost from korea together with the crocodillean collection of Bert Lina's men, i would have to sell that same remote for P2,500 now. Hindi na P1,300 :)

Anyway if anyone is interested i have some Samsung OEM remotes on the way.
Same as this model AA59-00602A. Will sell for only P450.00. Will work with any Samsung Plasmas or LEDs.

Let us know if they replace your TV or just the panel.
Two weeks ago, the Technician came on a Monday. They checked it. He mentioned a "Y" board as busted.
After a day, he called that they have a spare Y board and they can install the following day. So far, still very good service.
But I insisted on a panel replacement. They made a report to Samsung for a panel replacement.
Made a follow up last week, I was informed that Samsung is still evaluating it.
Called Samsung today (sept 28), I was informed that unit replacement was approved. Called Abenson today, they will call later. I guess they need to talk to Samsung.

I doubt if there are still brand new units of this model.
I'm willing to add more cash to get a brand new unit of a different model.

May I know if they will apply the original price (31,000 pesos) ?
What is a good replacement model?

I will miss my plasma. Parang madali ako mapapagod dito sa lcd/led.
Dami nga lang toys ng new tv.

In time of your unit replacement lalo na pag nasa edge ka na nang expiration ng warranty, the thing I worried to much is kung brand new ba ang mapapalit na item, that why I always ask abenson kung talaga bang brandnew or sealed yung item and they assured me na brand new and sealed. They give me tips how to detect a brand new sealed item, just check the packaging tape (clear tape) dapat single lang at hindi doble.
kaya pagdating ng unit yun kaagad tinignan ko and im very satisfied :D...thanks abenson

I got the 48ju6600...naliitan ako...sana nag 50 or 55 incher na ang ako...hahaha
Where can I verify if 2 years warranty uli? According to the guy who assembled the TV, until the original warranty lang daw (so January 2016 if ever)?

With the increase in production cost from korea together with the crocodillean collection of Bert Lina's men, i would have to sell that same remote for P2,500 now. Hindi na P1,300 :)

Anyway if anyone is interested i have some Samsung OEM remotes on the way.
Same as this model AA59-00602A. Will sell for only P450.00. Will work with any Samsung Plasmas or LEDs.

still alive and kicking .... really impressive pa rin with HD cable channels compared to my other LED TV, only thing I'm missing on this one is no smart features, hence had to use my Xbox for that ... hopefully it still works for another year or two before the 4k tv's gets more affordable and better features :)

Mine just died tonight. According to the wife something popped and the picture died.
Disconnected the power cable - no signs of burns. Faint smell of burning plastic.

The unit was delivered October 01 2013 - May 16 2017 hindi umabot ng 4 years
The other night we just watched The Great Wall in Bluray on this and it was flawless
No signs of burns on the screen panel

Puwede kaya home assessment dito kahit wala na warranty?
Baka may hirit pa sayang naman

Same popping some wiith mine. Not checked by Samsung yet though.
This was an Abenson's special last time. Now there's another Abenson's only model that's a 55-inch 4K HDR model for 42K online.
There's a thread about it, too. Cash for only 38K. Thing is, mine didn't last 5 years. And as per your experience no more parts.
Disposable na mga TVs ngayon?

Have this unit also. My mom told me that while they are watching, there is some pop sound na malakas daw then dead na din. :(

Although not sure if the same as what you guys experienced. Ask ko lang, when you power on the unit, does it do a red blinking instead of a red steady (before you power on) ?

Thanks! Saan ko kaya mapatignan ito.

My TV is now just boxed - most likely will become a donor unit or will need a donor tv to restore.

My unit got busted last year wala pang 3 years. Wala na daw stock ng y board. Nag reklamo ako sa samsung hotline na bakit sila nagbebenta ng unit na pag nasira eh di naman pala nila ma repair. Kinuha na lang nila unit and compensated me since wala pa 3 years unit. They explained to me na pasok naman sa 7 years na support something nila. So they pro rated the 4 years supposedly remaining life. Got around 27k compensation from samsung.

Wow less than 13K from the original price. That is indeed generous.

Sa US nag originate yan, Section 1793.03 of the "Lemon Law", US Consumer Protection.  I guess Samsung has decided to implemant it worldwide na rin. 

(b) Every manufacturer making an express warranty with respect to an electronic or appliance product described in subdivision (h), (i), (j), or (k) of Section 9801 of the Business and Professions Code, with a wholesale price to the retailer of one hundred dollars ($100) or more, shall make available to service and repair facilities sufficient service literature and functional parts to effect the repair of a product for at least seven years after the date a product model or type was manufactured, regardless of whether the seven-year period exceeds the warranty period for the product.

Kaya pala, every TV in the US may Date of Manufacture sa likod.

Actually 39997 comes with a free 28 inch tv which I sold for 10k. So lumalabas less than 4k nagastos ko sa tv ang tagal nga lang processing kasi my approval pa. Nakuha ko ata check december or january na. September nasira unit ko.

I really wanted it fixed during that time. I even asked kung sa korea ba mismo wala na mabilhan parts or sa ebay. Siguro nakulitan sa akin kasi sabi ko i really love that tv and malaking paper weight naman yun kung hindi maayos.

Since natuwa naman ako sa kanila, samsung na din ang pinalit ko.

Call Samsung service.  Was able to get a missing stand screw from them before.

If you have a sample, TO SUY has it.

Kung wala kang makuhang bolts (or info about the size) sa service center sukatan mo na lang.

8mm diameter bolts (M8) are used for TVs 47" and larger. Smaller TVs use M4, M5 or M6. Yung lalim (measured flush with the back of tv) pwede mo sukatan using palito or bbq stick. Add the thickness of the mounting plate and any other spacer to get max bolt length.

So kung 31mm ang calculated max bolt length, you have to buy 4 pcs M8x25mm and 4 pcs M8x30mm bolts, plus 4 lock washers. Try the short bolts first if it threads nicely. Use the longer ones kung parang sobrang kaunti yung naka-thread sa loob.

PS wag ka bibili ng sobrang habang bolts baka lumusot sa screen, hehe!

M6 ang binigay ng Samsung dati sa TX ko.  Alam na nila agad when I asked.

Hindi ko na tinuloy magpadiagnose sir.

I called them sir and inquired if there are parts available, i.e. y-sustain board, as most of us encountered to be the problem from same symptoms. Sabi ko iconfirm ko muna sana if may available na parts for repair bago ko ipacheck para may assurance ako na may next step after diagnosis. Sabi nila hindi daw pwede, diagnosis daw muna.

E sabi ko bakit ganun? Ganun daw talaga. Ayun. Sabi ko hindi na lang.

Hindi ko pa tinatanong about cashback. Less than 5 years pa lang unit ko. Nakainquire na kayo sir?

Pumutok akin mga after 11 months or purchase so may warranty pa, pinalitan nila ng buo. Tapos pumutok din yung bagong unit after mga 1 year ata... nung nagtanong ako sa repair nung time na yun, more than 10k gagastusin. Eh mukhang hindi sulit kasi parang mga around 1 year pumuputok rin, so bumili na lang kami ng bagong tv.

Enjoy the bigger size offered by cheaper LEDs with VA panels.

Can't recommend the LG OLED's since RTINGS tests show they're still very prone to burn in. You can take care of the display if you wish with your viewing habits, but you can't control what other family members watch.

There are the 2017 tcl p6 series, samsung mu series and the most popular sony x900e model. Just take note that when they say va's have narrow viewing angles, it's not an exaggeration. It really does have freakin' poor angles when viewed off center axis, be it x or y. It's a trade off until we get affordable Microleds in the future.
I just wish elon musk would venture into the tv market and just revolutionize the stagnant display industry. Lolz

I am after picture quality so my very first flat TV was a Pana 42PV80. But when it was time for me to upgrade,  I went with LG C7 OLED and never looked back. I guess when dealing with OLEDs,  you just have to give it a TLC like you used to with a plasma TV, no static images,  etc.  If you watch contents with a lot of static images,  you are better off with LEDs. With black level deeper than the plasmas of old,  wide viewing angles, 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, 10 bit panel,  etc.. whats not to like with OLED, except the price😊

My venerable plasma just had the dreaded pop sound (second time na, see quote below) while my wife and I were watching. I am already on a replaced panel (while it was still under warranty) so I am hoping for the best but dreading the worst.

My wife and I really loved the PQ of this plasma so I hope Samsung will be able to repair it. Some digging up around pdvd seems to tell me that this can no longer be done but we'll see.  Will update this thread if ever.


Watching  F1 on  my F5000 tapos may biglang pumutok. No smoke, no burnt smell. I lost video but still have audio.

I dont have a plasma but i have a samsung led from year 2010. Model 55c6900. Few weeks ago, Screen suddenly blacked out, but with sound pa. Samsung tech came and told me its the screen, the board and everything else still ok. He quoted me 80 plus thousand to repair. Lol, wala na...disposable itong mga tv, kaya i will no longer spend over a 100 thou for a tv hehe.

My other samsung lcd from 2007 or 2008 screen started to spider web, parang cracking and heating up. Still can watch, but my wife is scared it may cause a fire. Tcl or hisense na kaya bibili ko hehe..

For LCD TVs talagang palit pag nasira unless covered ng warranty.

As expected, there are no stocks of the panel anywhere in Asia.  :(

Samsung has asked me for the receipt and are also requesting to submit a refund application to get subsidy for a new tv.  I bought mine for 40k back in Dec 2013 so I hope I can get a substantial amount back. 

I sure miss my plasma. I don't really know what PQ I can get for 40k and at what size so I may start window shopping next week.  OLEDs still seem to be out of the question for me.

Kaya di ko mabitiwan din yun Panasony PV8 ko eh. lampas 10yrs na ata yun sakin upto now napakaganda pa din ng PQ :D

Just got the news from Samsung. As expected, there are no more replacement panels available anywhere.  What they're offering me is a check for 34% of the price I paid for back in Dec. 2013 (which was ₱39,997).  It's a real cheque (cash) and not store credit.

Part of me is sorta happy that I'm getting something back from a purchase nearly 5 years ago (definitely out of warranty).  However, part of me is disappointed that for the amount of money I spent for a quality TV, it didn't even last 5 years.  Heck, my older LCD's and LED's are still working more than 5 years later.

Does anyone know if I'm in a position to negotiate for more?

IMO bro, good deal na yan cash compensation binigay.  sa iba nga totally pabayaan ka na. 
btw ask mo sila if they can give you a store (samsung) credits but higher than 30%.

My 51H5000 popped just now while watching Finding Dory. There was a little flash of light. There is still light on the led but no response in the screen.

How long are manufaturers supposed to have support for TVs? Will call Samsung tomorrow and am i entitled to a cashback if they can not fix this?

I bought mine on October 2014

Damn this is a downer. I love this TV.

They give you a check.  I asked back then (and this was a few months ago) if they could give me a bigger amount but on store credit but they declined.

Chances are, you will get about 30% of the receipted amount, as I did.  I hope you get more, or better yet, a replacement.

I just hope the box isn't required if/when they get the unit back after the cashback. I disposed of it a long time ago.

"No replacement panels available for all Samsung plasmas worldwide" is what I've been told. You never know, tho. It could be that your panel is alright and it's the board that needs repaired.

I am guessing it probably is the board since it popped and then black screen. LED light still works when power button is plugged but remains in red and blinks (not continuously).

Uodate on my 51H5000 unit.

Tech from Henry's Electronics came today and checked the TV, and as predicted Y Sustain Board and nagkaproblema. Tech said the board daw includes the panel when quoted for replacement. Di ko alam kung tama ba intindi ko sa sinabi nya. I was thinking that y board can be replaced on its own without the panel.

Anyway the service center will inform me within 2 days kung may replacement parts then ask me kung ipapaayos ko kung meron.

Will update again pag may development

Just an update on my plasma...

A tech from Samsung visited and did some trouble shooting on my TV, he told Us Samsung will call Us for to give us updates on based on the technician's report. After 3 days, Samsung called Us and told Us that we have a busted Panel and there are no more replacement Panel for the unit. Samsung then offered Us a monetary refund. After 5 days, they called Us again and told us that a 7,400 pesos will be refunded to Us in exchange of the busted TV. So i said yes, and we are now waiting for the refund and pickup of our unit 😉

... Already bought a 55" LG sk8000 as a replacement for my TV 😂

Hindi e. Kasi yung service center they report sa samsung kung ano ang problema then samsung will advice them kung available ang parts. Sa case ko samsung said may panel daw ang 51H5000. Pinaulit ulit ko nga e. Sabi ko siguraduhin na meron o wala. Meron nga daw. At ang option ko na lang at that time ay ipagawa o hindi. I chose the latter

Dapat Samsung should have parts for a certain number of years for their TVs or they would have to shell out.

In the US very strict sila.  Dito dapat din nilang gawin.

I called up the Samsung hotline and they scheduled an inspection by one of their technicians.  I got a phone call the day after which mentioned that they were offering a percentage cashback because the parts that are needed for the tv to be fixed were no longer available.

Hope you get something from Samsung, bro.  Good luck!

Blessed Day Pinoydvd Guys especially Plasma TV Owners, Valiente here. Guys, pahingi naman po ng comments and solutions. I am using Samsung 43H4900 Plasma TV. Nanonood po ako ng CNN, though at the same time ay nag cecelphone, ng may biglang sumabog sa likod ng TV. Then, nawalan ng picture. Tapos, nag biblink na lang po ang red led power sa may screen. Ano po ang nangyari sa TV ko? Please guide me guys. Power supply po ba? Ang sumabog po ba ay capacitor? Thank you for your assistance.

ganyan nga nagnyari sa akin, y board yata tawag dun may stock kaso nung dumating technician, sabi pasira na din daw ang panel, 8k yung board, pag naikabit, yung board lang me warranty, so anytime daw pwede bumigay na panel, 22k ang panel. kaya di ko na pinagawa.

question: pano ba nalalaman ng tech na pabigay na panel, wala naman test na ginawa, visual lang nung naikabit yung y board

Thanks for the input. Sa Google po kasi, kapag nag iilaw ang red led power ay power supply daw po ang diperensya, maybe capacitor. Mura lang daw po ang gagastusin if ganito ang sitwasyon. Sana po ay power supply ang problema ng Plasma TV ko. Ang location na parang may pumutok ay sa gitna ng likod ng TV, which I assumed na parang doong part ang power supply. If you have similar problems like mine, kindly share your story guys. Thank you.

Guys, na pa check up ko na po ang TV, y board and panel din ang recommendation. Kung y board ay around 60-70% percent chances daw po and success rate. Kung complete, y board and module/panel ang ipapalit, 100% success rate, parang brand new lang maliban sa case. Guys, alin po ang gagawin ko, y panel board lang po or both y board and module? Please guide me. Thank you.

Kung Y board lang po ay around 5000 with 60-70% success rate. Kung panel module and y board po ay around 15, 000 with 100% success rate, parang brand new lang, case lang ang luma. Parang mas gusto ko po yung 100% success. Kayo po friends, ano po ang inyong opinion? Thanks.

If i understand it correctly, and you get a new panel for 15000, medyo no brainer for me and i'll get the whole thing replaced. Reason being that parts will be harder to source further down the road.

Add: kung papalitan nga ang mismong panel the best yan, kase plasma pixels degrade over time.

"Just replace the Y-Sustain Board and you should be good to go, right? Hold on there, cowboy. Before you go and do that, understand for a moment that Plasma TV's, unlike LCD TV's and LED TV's, is a different type of TV technology and thus, the way it operates is also different. If and when "a part goes out," it works in a domino effect. In other words, when one board goes out, it often times takes out another board with it."

Taken from tvpartsguy.com, there is an advantage if we will replace most of the parts, to have higher success rate than few replaced parts only.

Kung 15000 cash for parts, better just get a 50" 4k tv at 20t+

At that price the PQ is a serious downgrade, to be honest.   :'(

When my 51" plasma went kaput, Samsung gave me money (wala na raw parts) so I bought a 55" 4ktv to replace it.  I was stoked to get 4k + HDR, but in dark scenes or series like the Mandalorian (where contrast is key), I really miss the plasma.

This is the same reason why i'm keeping my non working 50" plasma. I'm just waiting for the replacement panel price to drop a little. I got a Sony 4K 55" already as a daily driver, but still hoping to use the plasma again soon. Iba talaga.

I had a 3 year old Samsung 60 in Plasma na nasira ang Y- Board. I paid around 12k to have it replaced with 3 months warranty for parts and services related to the Y- Board only. I wanted to keep the Plasma kaya lang wala ng paglalagyan kase I bought a replacement already na LG 65UM7300 PPA. Sold the Plasma for 23k.

I really miss the Plasma.Color rendition is way better than the LG,heck I like my 70 inch Sharp Aquos that I got at 40% less  more than the LG as well.

I am a bit frustrated with the lifespan of the Plasma TV. Mine lasted only for around 4 years. I remembered my 21 inch TV that lasted for around 17 years, wala pang na ka attached na voltage regulator. Friends, papaano po natin mapapahaba ang lifespan ng Plasma TV? Please share your tips.

My friends plasma is on its 12th year. Mine is approaching 10.

Our trick is to turn off electricity to the tv when not in use. 

Some plasma models are more durable than others. Samsung 51 Full HD are ok, the 60" are known to fail prematurely.  Many Panasonic plasmas are bulletproof.  LGs are not.

Swerte swerte lang. My fisrt 42 in Panasonic Plasma is alive and kicking until now bought it around 2008. It was replaced by another Panasonic Plasma 50 in and stlill is doing well. Wala namang special na ginagawa, turn on pag gagamitin turn off pag hindi na.

Mine was a 51" which went kaput, and not just once, too.  A cursory look at the back pages of this thread will reveal that many 51" owners underwent the same mishaps, unfortunately. :(

Not for me.  The PQ is nice and all but the looming spectre of it blowing up in the next couple of years is enough for me to stay away.

In fact, any price higher than 10k is probably not worth it.

Not all samsung plasmas are the same. Yung mga 4000 series has a different resolution and rising black levels. I agree 18k is too much.
Off topic. Natatawa ako when looking at 2nd hand for sales, minsan defective na nga, gagatasan pa rin ng seller. Tipong basag na screen, 5k pa rin ang gusto. I know they're probably aiming the repair guys to but it for spare, but dude... Lol. It just goes to show how poor a country we are.

Need expert advice.
Bumigay na kahapon yung 51F5000. May mahinang tick then biglang nag off na yung picture. No more sound na din.
Bought last Sep2013 and replaced the panel in 2014 (within warranty)
Ano po kaya magiging findings?

Already scheduled for check up tomorrow thru authorize service center.
Galing ng samsung. Nasa system pa din nila ang records ko since 2014.

ganyan din ang akala ko when my plasma broke my heart kaya sumugal ako sa bayad sa diagnosis pero when the service center checked with samsung, may parts pa raw (same symptoms ng kay usbslave pero H5000 ang model ng sa akin).

kaya ayun, napabili na lang ako ng Syworth 4K kesa bilhin ang pagkamahal na board ng plasma.

Sir sana replacement unit na lang na UHD (I wish). Willing naman ako mag add ng cash
Kasi kahit ipagawa ko baka hindi na rin tumagal. Although iba talaga picture quality ng plasma.

OT lang po, anong model ng Skyworth kinuha nyo? Kumusta po performance? May existing TCL 55" kasi ako, medyo di ako satisfied sa picture quality.

It's a  basic Skyworth 55G if i am not mistaken. 

It's nothing like a plasma. In fact my eyes miss the cool pleasing to the eyes color of my H5000. LED TVs make my eyes watery. The things i don't miss with my plasma is the heat it adds to my bedroom and the power consumption, plus I can't play video games for too long (afraid of screen burn hehe)

Good morning po.
Update po ng unit ko.
Nag visit na po yung technician last Saturday at ang findings ay Y Main Board
Sabi nya sa Samsung kapag pinalitan kasama na yung panel
Quotation nya ay 22k plus but upon checking wala na daw po available parts.
So tinanong ko kung pwede ko bang i avail yung cash back
Sabi nya hind na daw kasi within 5 years lang ang pwedeng maka avail

Question po. Meron po ba ditong naka avail ng cash back na yung unit nya ay more than 5 years?
Sakin po kasi more than 6 years na.

As of todate, waiting po ako sa tawag ng Samsung based sa finding ng technician.
Hoping pa din na may options pa like cash back or rebate for replacement unit. Hehehe!!!

Salamat.

Good morning.
Update lang po. As per technician up to 7 years daw ang possible na magkaron ng cash back.
Waiting lang po ako sa tawag ng service center.
Isa po sa hinhingi nila ay yung receipt. Binili ko po Sep2013 kaya pasok ako sa 7 years.
Eto po issue ko, Diko na makita yung receipt pero may record ako sa Samsung na nagpa warranty ako last 2014 dahil pinalitan nila ang panel.

Pwede ko bang ilaban yon as proof para maka avail ng cash back?

If you guys are willing to do it on your own, you'll probably spend around 2k or less.
Did it on ours.
Consolidate member's orders to save on shipping to bring price further down.
THIS is only if you are sure the Y-Board is shot. Sometimes the Y-board will also take out the buffer board. Minor troubleshooting required.
The Power Supply can kill when plugged in!
The Power Supply has enough voltage to jumpstart your heart!

Proceed with T-bones referral if you are uncomfortable and you are not as cheap as me.
I'm just giving you guys another option. Replacing it is fairly easy.
I take no blame with any outcome based on my suggestion.
Just helping out cuz money is tight nowadays.

Bought mine from Aliexpress. Usually the shipping is pricier than the board (https://www.google.com/search?q=lj41-10317a&rlz=1C1CHBD_enPH903PH903&oq=lj41-10317a&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l4j69i60l2.4703j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).
Kaya mas maganda, kung maramihan ang kuha.
And maybe tip someone to install it for you.
The repair guys would most probably have ordered 5 or more units in one shipping if a lot of users inquired, so you can do the math with what they charge.
If they can bring it down to 5k, I'll maybe go that route.

This is a risk because usually you need to check fuses, voltages and which board is the culprit. But since it is a known issue for the f5000, the risk is lower.
Telltale sign is blown components on the backside of the ysus.

Again I have to put this out there- Checking voltages should be a part of the troubleshooting because it's what could've caused the ysus to blow in the first place.. But don't do it if you don't want to and just take a gamble.

Anther risk to consider - getting a defective board form the seller. Bear that in mind. Returns or refunds could be a pain. The repair guys might offer warranty on theirs.

Good luck with whatever you choose. Iba tlaga relaxing image ng plassma, oled lang kapalit.
