am in the market for a bravia. sale e. is there a way to know if the units being sold now by the avid/sony stores have the upgraded software that solves the power on/off problem? thanks in advance.
-
^^^Yup. Ayos na daw mga units nila.
Best deal din tong bravia. 32in nila sells for 99k na lang and pwede pa syang installment for 24 months at 0% interest. Tempting.... hehe..
-
Sana nga pati v-series ibaba na nila ang presyo. Actually sa japan nga , bagsak na ang presyo ng mga lcd tv na may HDMI at kaya dapat lang ibaba na nila yan.
-
bagsak ang presyo ng Bravia sa Japan compared to the likes of Sharp dahil the Sony panel is made in Korea by Samsung, unlike Sharp na all made in Japan pa rin...and besides, there seems to be something wrong with the Sony color kapag katabi ng Sharp side by side.
-
What is wrong with the Sony Color?
I am planning to get the 32" which is priced at 159k. The model is KLV-V32A10
http://www.sony.com.ph/wega/detail.asp?product_id=911&cat_id=3&subcat_id=29&subcat2_id=0
May HDMI input na yon.
Getting ready for HD Gaming experience.
Will that Sony Bravia be compatible with Sony PS3's HDMI Out?

Is this true ? Sony LCD panels outsourced to Samsung in Korea ?

Is this true ? Sony LCD panels outsourced to Samsung in Korea ?
That is not a secret at all and that is not a big deal considering the advanced capabilities of Samsung in LCD manufacturing...Medyo kinain lang ng Sony ang sariling pride in order to compete with Sharp especially in the huge Japanese market where quality counts the most. Quantity wise I believe Samsung sells the most LCD panel of various specs and sizes and uses worldwide, but they cannot manage to compete well enough within Japan dahil sa taas ng pride ng Japanese consumers on their own TV brands. So it's quite a huge opportunity and very profitable venture for Samsung to be able to sell a lot of their high profit margin top end HDTV quality LCDs through a renowned Japanese brand like Sony.
I'm working for one of the Japanese engg companies that endlessly expands Samsung gigantic LCD plants. The highly efficient and cost effective Samsung 7th gen plant produces the Sony panels, kaya it was a very practical decision for Sony to tie-up with Samsung. and it has certainly helped Sony a lot to catch-up somehow with Sharp in the Japanese LCD HDTV market...quite a big reversal of role really...Sharp was always regarded as a producer of some of the cheapest but lowly regarded TVs..now they are the most respected LCD maker in Japan. Sharp is to LCD as Panasonic is to Plasma...Canon and Hitachi should be able to commercialize SED TV in a few years time which promises to trounce all existing HDTV panel technology, while dear Sony is struggling to regain its old glory...but still making tons of money in movie producing and guess what, insurance, banking and beauty product business.

Wow... quite interesting... thanks for sharing your insights... ::)

The 32" V series is available with 24 months 0% interest.............tempting ;D........I saw this at the avant store in greenbelt the PQ was impressive (the store was using component cables connected to a mini component, I can only imagine what the picture quality would be like using HDMI and a uspcaling dvd player or even blu ray :o).........but the price tag is really steep........159k :P :'(......double the price of the other LCD brand I was looking at...but i'm undecided if the PQ is really twice the quality....because I really liked the PQ of the sony I didn't have to analyze it, it was just great.....
-
Hopefully, by the time PS3 hits the market, the prices of these units should drop as well for reasons such as obsolescence, and proliferation of generic units. ;D
-
Sana nga there's a price drop until december.
The Sony Bravia V Series is the LCD with the best PQ I have seen so far sa kakaikot sa mga appliance stores.
Iba talaga ang bigay ng picture.
I'll buy first a PS3 then bring the PS3 to the stores to test its 1080p capability.
Excited to see Gran Turismo HD on the Sony Bravia.
Otherwise, sa Samsung na lang ako pag kinapos ang Budget.
By the way, I was at MOA last Sunday and saw a customer buying the Bravia V Series 40" Display Model.
Astig. Di na siya nakapag-antay ng stock. This was at the SM Appliance Center.
-
1080p ba talaga ang bravia? can anyone confirm. o maglalabas palang sila nito
-
In Japan you can buy a 32V bravia for around the same figure (160K), kaso the currency is in Yen so nearly 45% lang ng cost sa Pinas. Grabe difference. Kung merong kayong kilalang OFW sa Japan, pabili nalang kayo dahil tax free ang OFW kahit anong item and the weight of a 32 inch LCD is just about the limit of a luggage (about 25kg). then connect the Jap model to a local VHS with tuner. solved. kahit bayaran mo ng 20K fee yung OFW mura pa rin.
V series bravia has a resolution of 1366 x 768 or about 1M pixels
X series bravia which probably is not available outside Japan has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or about 2M pixels which is the full HD broadcast spec at the moment in Japan (1080i) - I dont know sa US. kaya 2M pixel panels are marketed as Full HD Capable LCDs.
Ok, granted meron HDMI connector ang bravia or any current model for that matter which should allow it to accept and display 1080p signal, two things, first, where is your source of 1080p signal at the moment (ok perhaps PS3/Blu-ray would be capable of it), and second, how would a standard 1M pixel panel or even a higher class 2M pixel panel actually handle 1080p signal (which need like 1080x2 horizontal lines)..lalabas at lalabas pa rin ang picture of course but dont expect it to display the full 1080p wonder (kung ano man talaga ang ayos non).
Sa LCD HDTV, at the moment you really get what you pay for dahil the technology is still evolving, which is rather unfortunate dahil mahal pa talaga yung maganda. tapos wala pang HD broadcast sa Philippines so the only ways to appreciate the capability of your set is to buy a 360, a PS3, blue-ray disk, HD-DVD disk and of course and HD videocam. I am subscribed to TFC (ABS-CBN) via satellite TV here in Tokyo. When viewed on a Sharp Aquos 32GD6, it really really really s**ks, but American SD broadcasts and Japanese SD broadcasts are "puidi na rin", except during the transition period from watching say NHK News in HD to SD broadcast...nasasanay din naman ang mata eventually.
Cheers

Thanks Clon.
The Salesman told me that the Bravia V Series is 1080p capable na daw. Which I know is an unreliable source.
But on the website, it was not mentioned. Kaya nalilito tuloy ako.
But I have read that the difference betwen 1080i and 1080p can only be distingushed on big display panel (more than 40" siguro).
I think the real 1080p Sony HDTV are the SXRD. It is already a 2MP.
And 1080p is being mentioned on the website.

Given the current HD broadcast standard, availability of HD contents and cost of HD capable devices and accessories, an HDTV capable of 720P or 1080i should suffice for many years. pero kung meron din lang HDMI connectors, of course go for it. the common assumption at the moment is that if a unit has HDMI, it is 1080p capable. I don't know if that is absolutely true without any "but"...but still, a potentially 1080p-capable set is still better than a definitely 1080p-incompatible unit kahit na nasa fetus stage palang ang 1080p contents.
some people say that getting TVs with HDMI will future-proof your TV, which is a good thing considering the cost of the investment...kaso, the technology is really evolving at the moment...major makers are exerting every effort to fix the inherent flaws of LCDs and Plasmas while making their manufacturing process as cost-efficient as reasonably possible, tapos, the likes of Canon and Hitachi are developing even promisingly better flat panel technology (SED). so in my opinion, future-proofed HDTV is quite a fuzzy idea at the moment...kaya just enjoy your current HDTV while you can.
Yes, basically you can only appreciate the difference in resolution of panels kung mas malaki ang TV mo. For instance, 2M pixels panels start from size 37V...sa Sony that would be 40V dahil nga mas mura ang production cost ng Samsung and they can manage to produce 40V sized panels at the same cost as 37V panels of Sharp. sa Japan, ang marketing strategy nila (dahil sa liit ng living rooms dito) is that you can watch daw a 2M panel from a minimum distance of about 1.5 meters and still appreciate the wonder of sharp, clear, and clean high resolution broadcast. but who the hell would allow their children to watch that near on a 37 inch TV or bigger ne??? ako nga if I stay about 2m away from my 32 inch Sharp sumasakit na ulo ko (dahil na rin siguro sa edad).
yung apparent difference between an HD broadcast shown on a 1MP and 2MP panel is that you get more horizontal angle of view when you watch on a 2MP. medyo lumiliit ang tao syempre dahil sa widening. in effect, the current HD standard 1080i signals gets cropped on a 1MP panel, but that's no big deal really because you wouldn't actually know the scenes you're missing unless you have a 1MP and 2MP TVs placed side by side in your viewing room.

Now i know bakit mahal ang V Series.
It is because of this WEGA Engine.
I saw the demo at Park Square how the WEGA Engine works - it digitally enhances DVD Source and Analog Broadcast
making the picture look near HD Quality. :o
I saw the S Series on DVD Source and angsama talaga ng picture.
The same with the Samsung R71 Series. DVD Source has awful PQ.
-
I've done a side-by-side comparison of the Bravia V series with Pixelplus 2. Pixelplus 2 appeared to have better PQ.
-
nels76,
really you find the PQ of the Samsung R71 lousy? what size did you see? kasi i noticed that iba iba yung contrast ratio...
-

Hi, this is interesting, I would like to see it myself because Im inclined to the Philips pixel plus 2 but I have not found a shop that could show me side by side comparison. Where did you see them? How about price difference?
-
nels76,
really you find the PQ of the Samsung R71 lousy? what size did you see? kasi i noticed that iba iba yung contrast ratio...
Yup. Jaggy on DVD Source (so this is now irregardless of Tint and Contrast Ratio).
Go to Automatic Center near Glorietta Foodcourt. The 32-inch R71 Series was connected to
a DVD Source (This was the set-up last evening of June 16). Fast and the Furious ang Film. The DVD Player is the one which is bundled
with Samsung LCD TV.
The Hitachi LCD TV on the left (if you are facing the Samsung) has even a better PQ (on DVD Source also).
Then I asked the Salesman "Bakit iyong Hitachi sa tabi mas-maganda PQ pero DVD Source din naman?".
Then the Salesman said "Kasi Animated po eh. Mas-less grain kapag Animated".
I believed in the salesman at that moment.
Then at the Sony Center at Park Square, the Bravia V Series has a better PQ on DVD Source.
I was surprised to witness this because I still rememebr Samsung's PQ. Then the Dealer said that this is because of the WEGA Engine.
Nothing against Samsng bro. Actually there promo is very tempting.
Trade-in a working/non-working TV and get a P10k discount plus a home theater pa.
But I was turned off when I saw the PQ on the DVD Source. On HD Source, ok naman.
This made me reconsider the Bravia V Series.
On another note,
I am getting interested in this Philips Pixel Plus 2 on how it compares to BRAVIA V Series.

hi everybody,
recentyly bought a sony bravia KLV-S32A10, its our first lcd or even bigscreen tv. i know maybe its not the best for its price but here are the factors deciding my choice.
its a sony - made in japan, for whatever its worth
bought for 99k, 12mos to pay at sony megamall
add 5k and you have a DAV-dz120k starter home theater system thats highly rated by asia.cnet.com
so for 105k, we have a good 32"lcdtv (from asia.cnet.com the tv rated average by the editors but scored good with the users) and a good home theater system to enjoy all the dvds movies and ps2 games immediately.
the samsung 32r71, also priced at 99k. i only miss the PIP and mybe the higher contrast ration vs the bravia. the free cellphone. i have to sell it to make use of it, sana home theater nalang din para magamit agad.
IMHO for Php100,000.00: sony package vs samsung package; sony wins
sony tv vs samsung tv; feature for feature the samsung tv is better (nearly v-bravia spec)
just my thoughts
-
actually you could have also added 5k to get the HTiB.
-
ye just found out last night at sm appliances/vmall. im a little sad.
the better home theather system and yun "made in japan" tag nalang ace ko. if necessary hoping also for a good aftersales service from sony phils.
hope the bravia will still be in peak condition (no dimness or other lose of video/audio quality), and after 2 years then bili ulit.
-
Just learned last night from Ansons (beside landmark) that the Sony Bravia S2 Series is about to arrive.
The units will be displayed at the last week of July.
The 32-inch S2 is priced at 109,000.
This series has the Bravia Engine and HDMI.
Now I have to see how this compare visually with the V Series.
-
saw the new bravia at abensons. S32A20 ata model number
"bravia engine, sony panel, hdmi input etc"
as previously reported its ph109,000.
but its "made in malaysia"
-
Made in Malaysia? Yikes.
The V and S Series are Made in Japan kaya siguro Mahal.
-
Correct just so it today. Made in Malaysia but Japan pa rin daw parts.
By the way Hitachi was priced at 110K 32 inch with free DVD Video Camcoder worth 42K at 18 months tempting din, Made in Japan.
-
The PS3 will be using HDMI 1.3 "Deep Color"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#HDMI_1.3
What is wrong with the Sony Color?
I am planning to get the 32" which is priced at 159k. The model is KLV-V32A10

I think you forgot this samsung package.
Samsung LCD TV la32s71b (This is the Sonoma series. The specs are likely the same as the r71 Bordeaux series. The difference between these two are the Contrast ratio. S71 = 3000:1, R71 = 5000:1. Di masyado noticeable. Besides, ayaw ko rin ng medyo high contrast when watching. Medyo nakakasilaw kasi when it comes to lcd kaya i usually lower it down pa)
I bought this one at around 89,900 pesos.
Package includes
21" Samsung Slimfit CRT TV
Wall Bracket
HT - Q20 Home Theater
Sold the samsung slimfit tv for 10k so parang 79,900 lang ang kuha ko sa LCD. If i am going to sell the HT bababa pa yan. Pero i decided to keep it.
Plus here is the main reason why i get it as fast as i can. Its 24 mos. Zero Interest. So that's not too much too handle.
:D

mga sir,
dito sa thailand bagsak presyo na rin ang mga lcd tv's. ang sony bravia V40 ay 100k baht nalang (1 baht = 1.35 pesos). pero para yatang made in thailand na to kasi yun ang nakita ko sa rear sticker ng isang unit. pic quality imho is the same as japan made units. gusto ko sanang mag uwi pero takot ako sa biyahe baka masira. very tempting talaga to.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/weng2x/bravia.jpg)
-
Akala ko naman nasa peson na yun at yun pala baht. ;D
-
Even if you convert it t peso... That is cheap... considering 59,990 baht is only equal to 81,000 pesos.. That is a 32 inch v series which is priced here at around 140,000 pesos.. Sayang.. I will go to thailand pa naman on january 2007... Pero no regrets pa rin... Baka kasi mahirapan ako ihand carry yan and the warranty also matters to me...
-
if you are a tourist you can get a 7% tax refund at the airport. ofw ako kaya di ko sya ma avail >:(. pero lang pag tourist ka sisingilin ka ng tax pagdating sa atin while ang ofw exempted.

Have read from PinoyXbox.com that New Sony Bravias with 1080p capability will be arriving this November.
Whoah. Good news come in time for December.

Sony Philippines website posted a price for the 32-inch V Series at just 109,000.
http://www.sony.com.ph/wega/detail.asp?product_id=911&cat_id=3&subcat_id=29&subcat2_id=0
Is this true?
Anybody confirmed this?
This used to be 149,000. Just last week I saw it at 149k.
I frequently visit the Sony Website and price for the 32-inch V Series is at 149k.
To my surprise, today the price posted is at 109k na lang.
I better check the stores tomorow.

there's an on-going anson's fair at glorietta...
sony bravia 32" is at 99,990 0% 24 months to pay...with free HT...
just purchased a rptv last year...should have gotten this sleek lcd tvs instead...
too tempting...
::)
-
yan ang mahirap sa sony eh, ayaw sabayan yung ibang brands sa mga promo. feeling nila sobrang mataas pa rin ang rep nila sa mga consumers. Kung napa-agaaga lang ito, ito sana ang kinuha ko instead of r71 ;D maski pahirapan makatawag sa service center nila.

Well, it is confirmed.
The 32-inch Bravia V Series LCD is now being sold at 109k. :o :o :o
I asked the Sony Sales Person at the Glorietta Activity Center.
Putik. Kailangan makabili na. :-[
He just did not know if this is until October 21 only or until December.
This could be a prologue to upcoming 1080p Sony LCDs.
-
isa pa may bago ng v series na rin pala at kaya siguro ibinaba na nila ang price pero mahal pa rin.
-
Mura na yan than its counter part from other brands.
Try to compre its features on other brands with the same price.
-
but this ould also mean the other brands would lower prices to compete :)

@nels76
continuing a bit our discussion on the sony lcd tv that dropped in price...
unfortunately i went around asking for it, but it seems it dried out.. so i wasnt able to get a shop to quote me for the cash price of the unit with discount.
given the fact that no shop sells it anymore.. it's best you buy it soon :)
goodluck

Hi Allen,
Wala ka na bang nakita?
I think the 32-inch Bravia V Series has been sold out because of the price drop.
Good thing I already made a reservation at Anson's Park Square and paid 20k for them to reserve 1 unit for me.
I am just waiting for the end of the month to get mine. Medyo kinapos sa Cash ;D
The Bravia V2 Series is now posted at the Sony Philippines website.
The V2 has 2 HDMI input and has Live Color Creation.
Pangit lang is it only has PIP compared to the V's PAP.

Just got for myself a Sony Bravia KLV-V32A10 over the weekend.
Ansons gave it to me at 105.5k
Lupit ng Pix even on DVD. Unbelievable. parang HD Quality na kahit DVD Source pa lang.
The freebies I got (using the discount brochure):
- HDMI Cable
- DVD Handycam worth 30k
- Tha Handycam itelf has gift certificate worth 3k. So we got a free tripod at this cost.
- HTIB (We added 5k)
- We still have a remaining 10k discount brochure for the DVD recorder / Hard Disk.
Now waiting for the PS3.
Cheers.

wow libre handycam, so parang 60k++ na lang lumalabas yun cost nung bravia? ;D ;D
-
sir,
how much is the V40? do they have the same freebies sa V40? hopefully sa pasko mas maganda pa ang mga offers.
-
I think V40 is less than 200k na lang. Around 189k but I am not sure about this.
I think sa V40 you will get a higher value of freebies because it is more expensive.
But V40 is running low on stock because it is being replaced by the 40V2 model which is above 200k.
-
Itong S200A at S2000 (US model) ay iisa lang ba ito? At kung iisa lang ito,so meron pang isa pang model ang S model na S2010 at meron pang dalawa pa pala na S2400 at S2500 o pang US lang itong mga to?

Hi was in the market for a new 32 inch lcd tv and didnt realise how complicated it could get finding the right one to get. So far have narowed down my choices to 3. the first 2 being sony's the new S series or the old V series which are both 109k ive read people say things about the difference witht the old V series still using the wega while the new S is using the bravia. does this really make a difference? The third one i was considering was the samsung 32" thats going for 79k. This would be awsome due to the price:) Was just wondering tho if the sony's are really worth the extra cash over the 79k samsung? Any help advise and opinion would be greatly appreciated Thanks

The V Series Wega Engine is still much better than the S2 Series Bravia Engine.
I have compared them side by side using the same HD and DVD sources.
Where? At some of the common electronic shops like Abensons, Automatic Center and Ansons.
These electronic shops usually display side by side variant models of LCD connected to the same source.
And I have noticed that the V Series has better display than the S2 Series (HD and DVD Sources).
The 32-inch V is still available at the Avant Abenson priced at 109k.
This is a better deal than getting an S2 Series.
I can't answer the question regarding the comparison to the Samsung as I better be careful about posting my opinions but If I were you, bring your own DVDs and DVD Player at the Store and test them using Samsung and Sony LCDs and see for yourself.
I myself even brought my PS2 at Ansons (Pasay Road) to test with the Samsung and Sony LCDs.
You can even bring a VCD and VCD Player at the stores and test them with your shorlisted LCDs and see what LCDs
handle them best.
On HD Sources kasi, the differences among these brands are unnoticeable kaya I suggest you bring SD Sources.
Cheers.

Hi thanks for that. I got to see the v and S2 series too side by side and it did look better:) so if i do go with the sony ones its the V series for me :) now to figure out if the P30,000 difference between the Samsung S series adn the sony V series is worth it. this will be mostly used for watching cable tv on sky cable and some downloaded videos from my Pc as i think i would still preffer to watch my DVD's on the projector. Thanks Which one did you get?

Well, since you will mainly use it for watching cable, I suggest you audition your short-listed LCDs using
Cable Programming.
I got the Sony 32V and I am impressed with the Cable Reception so far.
Take note that the Sony 32 V Auto Programs in "I" TV System. This may give you impression
that the Sony V is poor in Cable Reception.
You have to switch individual channel to "M" TV System and it will give you a clearer reception.
The V is also equipped with Noise Reduction and this can be used during Cable Watching.
I am willing to let you show my Sony V if you want to see its performance in Cable Reception.
I can say Impressive - with the NR and the Signal Booster (The Sony 32V has this feature).
I can't speak of the Samsung's as I haven't seen this brand's performance in Cable reception.
Sir allenwfc is right. I got the Sony Bravia KLV-V32A10 for about
-
By the way I am impressed with the Sony V's PAP feature.
2 screens can be shown simultaneously - even if the other one is on 1080i and the other one is just a Cable Channel.
My 1080i source is the Gran Turismo 4 by the way.
-
hi thanks again guys :) will try to audition the tvs with cable source yung problema lang is not much stores have cable lines running to them so will have to find someone thats bought one:( . i would love to take you up on your offer to check out your tv but unfortunatly im all the way in cebu hehee. would there be anyone here whose seen both on cable hookup? well at least now i know that the v series if not just good with videos but cable too:) if the samsung isnt good with cable then that would make the sony worth the price difference:(
-
By the way, here are some screen shots of my LCD HDTV:

Not much of a game guy but that looks preaty good:) what consul is that that has GT4? can you post screen shots of it on cable tv:) thanks
-
Just curious, does KLV-40X200A comes with 1080p already? thanks!!
-
Hi!
I'm deciding on which to get...
Sony KLV-40X200A or the Hitachi 42PD8900TA (42-inch plasma)
I already have the samsung 32 inch bordeaux(sp?) playing the xbox 360 looks good but dvd movies and tv programs are kinda pixelated.
My question is, which of the 2 tv would be better for dvd/hd dvd and tv programs?
Thanks
Pls so reply, I'm going to buy before Dec 25 :)
-
Just curious, does KLV-40X200A comes with 1080p already? thanks!!
Yup. The X Series is already a Full HD 1080p LCD TV.
Ptoys,
Try to audition the 2 using your own DVD Player to come up with the decision.
I cannot comment on the Hitachi but there was a post somewhere in the Flat Panels thread that the Sony X Series is very good on DVD Source.
Cheers.
-
Thanks nels76. Do you think the price of 40X200A worth it? i'm torn between the V series 40" and this one. I'll be using it basically for DVD viewing. Thanks again bro ;D
-
Went to ansons kanina, spent 1 1/2hrs testing different tvs, after multiple testing with multiple movies, I decided to get the Hitachi. I was impress with the sony bravia x series(40inch)lcd, I tested it side by side with the v2 series, x series showed less pixel, colors looks about the same in my eyes, but when I tested the same pirated movies sa Hitachi, colors were so nice and real :) I also like the power swivel for couch potatoes :)
Thanks for the help guys.... :D

Hi Folks,
Noob here in this forum been a lurker for awhile (just registered now).....recently bought a Sony 46" LCD TV model KDL-46XBR2. Bought it from an online E-tailer (no sales tax and free shipping) during the Black Friday sales event here in the states. Took advantage when prices were reduce and Sony promotional financing of no payments until Jan. 2009. The TV is amazing especially when viewing HDTV broadcast (OTA) football games NFL and NBA, viewing SD (Direct TV source) is not bad either since my wife and I watched TFC a lot. One thing I learned the TV is made in Mexico....I'll post a pic once I got everything in place hinihintay ko pa kasi yung media center cabinet na inorder ko. The Sony replaced my 55" Mitsubishi (HDTV) RPTV - Diamond series moved to the basement. Question - is TFC going to be broadcast in HDTV? Take care!!

oo nga nalilito din ako eh pinagpipilian ko sharp aquos 32" or ito v300 kasi may htib na and hdmi cable and to think maganda din naman quality ng sony kung mas maganda man yung sa sharp konti lang naman siguro difference nila. anyway kahit alin naman sa kanila enjoy pa rin.
-
its a good package. try to wait for the KLV-32D300A thoough since sony phils will be releasing this. has better features :)

yah, nabasa ko nga yun d-series mas ok may mga ndagdag na features like 24P True Cinema, Motion Flow, Theatre Mode; kaya lan the question is kelan ang release and how much at ganun din kaya ang promo package nya
-
mas mahal ang d300a series kaysa sa v300a. wala pa ako info kung kelan nila release at magkano. im sure naman ang mga shops mag bigay ng magandang promo.

Let your own eyes decide. The thing is,the color gamut of different brands are always different..Don't rely on paper specs. Iba-iba ang taste ng engineers ng Sony and Sharp (these basic differences are clearly noticeable sa videocams as well) and hindi standardized ang method of testings (especially the contrast ratio). While the general opinion in Japan is that Sharp color is more natural (warmer, red is redder, white is whiter, black is blacker) as opposed to Sony's (red tends to be magenta, white is bluish, black is dull), that is still subjective and you'd only notice them if you examine very closely side by side using actual HD broadcast..Eh wala naman non sa atin. And kung color blind ka, you might never know the difference. The thing is, marami ring may gusto ng Sony look and right now, Sony is making tons of money from their Bravia line . So you're back to the first sentence...Let your own eyes decide.
OT yata ako. Sorry. Anyway, I think 55K is a fair price. Sayang yung almost 20K na difference kung CC gagamitin.
-
I like the trend! At this rate, by December, a 32" can be had for less than 40k!
-
After seeing this post and confirming this price with Fair n square.
I am really compelled to get this TV. Anyway I will drop by MOA tomorrow and get the TV.
I just hope na pwede palitan yung home theater na kasama, alam ko kasi yung sa promo is 20k discount sa home theater, or home theater component.

you can add extra cash to upgrade it to the higher end models.
the best model for sony is the muteki model. its 6.2 (not typo) sound system with karaoke functionality.. i think it even has hdmi and stuff..
heard it at sony showrrom b4, got power.. lots of it... might no pass an audio critic.. but if your not too sensitive its good. Its floow standing speakers, default sub is passive so you need add even more cash to make it an active cash.

pwede ma upgrade yun HTIB mag add lang ng cash and yun free wireless headphone may option ka na palitan HDMI cable that's what the salesperson told me last sat.
balitaan mo ko pag nakakuha ka na im planning din kasi next month.

yup pwede. pero pwedi rin yung buy back. sa area namin tumatanggap sila ng buy back. alam ko 20k yung worth ng free HTIB sa bravia. pero pwedi i negotiate na i less na lang sa actual price kung hindi mo kukunin yung free HTIB. but not at the price of 20k. 10k yung buy back price nila. fair enough specially kung mas gusto mo yung HT setup talaga. cash basis to. so kuha mo dapat ng 45k yung lcd. goodluck!
-
Just to clarify, yung 55k promo only applies to 32u300a not the 32v300a.
I bought the 32v300a at a well disounted price.
-
@meateater
pls pm price and name of store
thanks

@meateater
pls pm price and name of store

Official Sony, cash price for the v300a is 65k w/ the freebies.
remember the 20% cash discount rule and try to use this as a basis if a deal is good or not :)
-
can they go lower without the freebies for a cash purchase?
-
I tried my best to have them lower the price without the freebies, pero ayaw talaga eh.
Well nag offer sakin yung sales nila na bilhin yung HT for 5k. Iyon lang hehe.
Anyway, since I had it for about a day I was finally able to tinker with it.
My findings (this is my first lcdtv so baka yung ibang points ko hindi valid)
Pros:
*Build quality is good.
*Gaming with xbox360 is really great. You can see all the eye candy.
*Can accept 1080p signal but downscaled back to 720p, tried this with xbox360 and it works.
*Standard tv viewing is decent, please note it is still below CRT quality, but comparing it with samsung
r and s 81 series, and sharp BX series, I personally think it is better.
*Using VGA as a source (connected via laptop), 720p videos were good, even the lower quality videos that I downloaded
played well. Comparing it with my computer LCD (samsung 940bw), I think the v300 is better.
*The audio source for the VGA is an earphone jack, so madali i-connect sa laptop or pc.
*Black levels are definitely better than my pc LCD.
*adjustable yung black levels (low medium high)
*there is an option to fix vcd / mpeg noise and it seems to work well
*Wireless headphones were very useful. The TV allotted a different volume setting for the headphone
so you can mute your TV set and enjoy the sounds from the headphone.
Cons:
*Mapping the channels can be a pain as you have to put them in a certain order
If you take out something in the middle, uurong lahat ng channels.
*I think the factory settings is a bit too bright for my liking
medyo sumakit yung mata ko for the first 30 minutes of playing xbox
might need the avia disc for this
*Speaker sound is so-so
Comparing with my 4 year old sony sdtv, the older tv sounds better
(my old tv has subwoofer on top of it built in, so maybe this is one of the reasons)
*Slow to channel surf when compared to my sdtv
*You insert the coaxial cable sa side. I personally did not like this, then again I guess
they placed it there kasi pwede mo i-wall mount. But for people like me who place their
TV on the ever trusty table feel ko masama tingnan.
*Need to add around 6999 pesos to avail of the home theater with dvd upscaler.
*Free wireless headphone seems very fragile. I dont think it will last very long.

never send a 1080p signal to 720p panel.
the 7k add on to get only a dvd upscaler is not a good buy... but if it also upgades the whol HTIB (ex. mor epower, better looking speakers etc.) then its still ok

I see thanks for the advice.
Yes it will upgrade the HTIB also if I add the 7k sayang pala.
-

...why never? ::)
Some older panels cannot accept 1080p signal - and will give you an on-screen error message. Thus, this wouldn't hurt your panels's circuitry in any way.
Some newer 786p panels can accept 1080p signal - and will be downscaled to native resolution.
HTH... 8)

O nga pala, I just want to ask kung pano ba paganahin yung tele text or text function.
Applicable ba yun sa mga local cable broadcasts natin? I am on sky cable btw.

cause sending a 1080p signal to a 720p would result in downscaling which may degrade image quality.
now, the only exception is if you got a 1080p source (ex. bluray/hd dvd player) then for this you will need to see if think the downscaler of the player or the tv is better...

Just to clarify, yung 55k promo only applies to 32u300a not the 32v300a.
I bought the 32v300a at a well disounted price.
Western (Beside Park Square I) offers 32u300a @ 47k cash + HT and Wireless headphone. Although, I'm eyeing for 32v300a, sana lang something close to 50k yun price nya, baka pwede matawaran eh :)
Maganda sana yung 32d300a kaya lang I'm sure malayo price range nya sa U and V series.
-
1080p ready/compatible na ba yung mga new bravia models (d, u and v300 series)?
-
1080p ready/compatible na ba yung mga new bravia models (d, u and v300 series)?
yes sir ;)
-
1080p ready but the panel is not a full hd panel. so 1080p signals will be downscaled to either 720p or 1080i
-
is this offer still avail in MOA? which shop exactly?

-
Hopefully this coming Q4 may promo uli sila. Wish ko lang.
Sony are you listening? :'( babaan nyo pa, maraming bibile. ;D
-
anyone of you guys bought this version? if yes, what can you say about the picture quality? is the 10 bit panel, motionflow technology and 24p true cinema really a good step up compared to the "V" series? i was able to see a test unit 40" on avant trinoma and i can really see the motionflow effect and 24p true cinema on particular test videos like swat, hellboy and spiderman 3... i was really amazed at what i saw, the images seemed lifelike as if you were watching it from a live handycam shoot... the settings of motion compensation can be adjusted thru the television menu and it has high,standard and off options, in my case i tried the high setting so the details really seemed realistic and lifelike, just to make things clear though that the motionflow is not active all throughout the video, it activates during scences which involves drastic movements. sadly, i have just recently bought a 32" V-series bravia last 2 weeks ago :( i should have waited for this unit to be available so i have purchased this instead of the V series.
-
sell your old "v" series na lang and get the "d" series ... ;)

sell your old "v" series na lang and get the "d" series ... ;)
well that idea is brewing in my mind already even before your suggestion ;D

Unit Sony 32D300 was demoed to me side by side vs Sony 32V300 by the salesman in the appliance fair at Trinoma. The salesman even used the Matrix 3 movie action scenes but I hardly noticed any difference even in fast moving scenes.

maybe the setting of the motion flow is set to standard or off that is why you did not notice any difference. in order to see the full effect, it should be set to high... but for me, i am not impressed by this technology because it makes me dizzy to watch scenes change in speed from time to time because of motion flow. but i can say that the PQ of the 32V300 and 32D300 is almost identical, and sometimes i find the PQ of the V series sharper and better in black scenes compared to the latter.. i for one own a 32V300 and i am indeed very happy with my LCD TV.
-
my take on this:
1. Maganda
2. Mahal
you can buy a lot more and/or better gear with the same amount of money.
-
Based on SONY's latest catalog "Christmas Treasures":
KLV-46D300A P219,990
KLV-40D300A P169,990
KLV-32D300A P119,990
The D-Series is only HD Ready (not FULL HD 1080p). Thus in view of the above prices, I do agree with Tonmeister. It's really over price. With the same budget (e.g. 220k) you could get FULL HDTV such as Panasonic or Samsung with size 46" costing around 150k.
Then you can use the saved amount 70k to get the latest HD DVD/Blu-ray player and also HDMI 1.3 AV receiver that can decode all the HD audios: Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio. Perhaps, there is some balance fund that can be used for other equipment/gear/accessories. Killing 2 birds with one stone...sweet!! :)
But if you're a true SONY fan & have the moolah....then you've arrived at the right place. ;)
-
so anyone can confirm where is this model made from?
-
My guess it's made in Malaysia based on my previous SONY model. :)

I recently purchased a Sony Bravia KLV-32V300a at SM San Lazaro for 65k, the package consisted of a free home theatre and a wireless infra red headset... medyo naging impulsive ang pagkakabili ko sa unit kasi may tag kasi na hanggang on that day lang yung sale price, i did not know that the same package can be bought at other stores like westen appliance and abenson at a much lower price... after 1 month of use my unit had a dead pixel at the lower left side of the screen, what i did was i called up sony service center at 3301111 and on that same day, they sent a sony technician to have a look at my unit. He took a picture of the dead pixel for his report and got my warranty card and store receipt. The next day, they picked up the tv from my house and replaced it's panel but after 1 week of use the dead pixel showed up again this time on the middle part of the screen... they apologized for the inconvenience and this time coordinated with SM San Lazaro and replaced my unit with a brand new one!!! Upon replacement, i purchased a 2 year warranty extension which costed me 11,500 bucks but hey it is also important to note that the LCD part alone when replaced costs 38,000 bucks so the price that i have payed for insurance is just to give me a peace of mind for 3 years considering the fact that my bravia already got a dead pixel in 1 month of use. I have been using my Tv for 2 weeks now and have no problems so far, i have connected my laptop, ps2, dvd player etc. to test it excessively for another hardware deficiency and maybe i can get it replaced again with a brand new one hehehe ;D
Now to talk about the settings, for video i use the vivid setting... the standard and cinema setting seems low in contrast for me, what i want is that i can see the image very clearly as if i was realistically looking at it in real life hehe. Now there is a setting there that i can't remember the name, it is supppose to make videos from dvd players appear more vivid and i set it to on. most important of all is to turn on the light sensor, not only does it conserve energy at night, it also tune the brightness automatically to give a good pictures in dark scenes at brightly lit rooms. I did not tinker with the power saver settings since the light sensor is already enough to automatically adjust the LCD's backlight. all other settings are default.
I bought a pioneer dv-600 upscaling player to pair with my TV, the unit is able to output 1080p upscaled videos as shown on the TV's upper left part of the screen which shows a few seconds after i start my dvd video. I have HDMI connection and the videos produced was very vivid and had a good black in dark scenes, by the way i set the dv-600 to full RGB setting to improve picture clarity.
To others with sony bravias post here your unit's model and comments, so that we could help each other enjoy our LCD's even more and maximize its full potential.

Mine is a Sony Bravia KLV V32A10.
I bought this unit sa Anson's Pasay Road mga end of October 2006.
I only use Custom Setting since nasisilaw ako masyado pag naka-Standard or Vivid.
Reason for this is sa kwarto sya nakalagay so lahat ng external light sources are eliminated kaya kahit Custom setting lang, maliwanag na sya.
Custom setting ko:
Color: 50
Brightness: 50
Picture: 70
Backlight: 2 out of 5.
I use this for Ps3 gaming mga every other night for about 2 hours lang since I have work and have to go to sleep early.
Si misis naman watch Cable gabi gabi din.
In other words, gabi gabi sya nagagamit.
And so far, wala pa naman problem.
Suwerte ng unit na to kasi di sya nadali when a lightning struck my Smart Bro canopy considering na kasama sya sa chain of connection.
Canopy --> Wireless Router -- > PS3 --> LCD.
Nasira ung Wireless Router but it was replaced FOC.
The PS3's HDMI port was damaged too. Di na sya gumagana ngayon but still displays HD signal through Component Video.
No complain on my Bravia. Maganda pa Audio Quality.

sony bravia klv-40....
kapag gamit ko ps3 may black na guhit sa sa middle ng lcd screen, ano kaya yun? sa dvd movies ok, ganda ng display.

Mine is a Sony Bravia KLV V32A10.
I bought this unit sa Anson's Pasay Road mga end of October 2006.
I only use Custom Setting since nasisilaw ako masyado pag naka-Standard or Vivid.
Reason for this is sa kwarto sya nakalagay so lahat ng external light sources are eliminated kaya kahit Custom setting lang, maliwanag na sya.
Custom setting ko:
Color: 50
Brightness: 50
Picture: 70
Backlight: 2 out of 5.
I use this for Ps3 gaming mga every other night for about 2 hours lang since I have work and have to go to sleep early.
Si misis naman watch Cable gabi gabi din.

klv 40.... yung sa akin, ginaya ko yung settings mo, sa sharpness ano nakalagay sayo?
-
@dvd-fanatic
reset mo yung settings sa default, tapos gamitin mo na lang vivid settings then i-on mo yung light sensor para hindi ka masilaw sa too much backlight dahil automatic na magaadjust yung brightness ng screen based sa ambiance ng room mo, for me that gives the best viewing display.
-
my tip for the sony bravia:
1. set to normal/standard
2. in the power saving menu, set to LOW. this lessens the backlight intensity.
3. set the backlight to fit your needs depending on lighting conditions.
hope this helps.

Power consumption at night - see the bar at lower left, it is at 1/8 of the total bar therefore 1/8 of 165 watts equals 20 watts. Wow only 20 watts usage at night :)
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a38/xxadonisxx/12122007079.jpg)
Power consumption at day - see the bar at lower left, it is almost at full level so maybe 140-150 watts. the light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness so that the display can compensate for the presence of ambient light in the room. Note also that there is no screen glare unlike plasmas. therefore when the light sensor is turned on and used at night a lot of electricity is saved.

Photo of my bravia accepting 1080p signal from my pioneer dv-600 upscaling player and playing movie 300 which is an avi that is playing via usb stick which i have downloaded from internet torrents. this photo and previous ones were only taken with my Nokia N95 cellphone at only 1024x768 which lessened the picture clarity and contrast. But in reality, viewing this atual movie at this set up is really remarkable and stunning!

Sir, Medyo OT lang po, pero clarify ko lang kung dv-600 upscaled your avi file to 1080p too? Alam ko kasi hindi pwede yun eh. ???
-
nice pic sir. looks like i'm leaning now towards the klv-40v300a as it is capable of receiving 1080p signal. the price also todate is no longer miles away from samsung. i was earlier planning to get the samsung 40r81 but it cant accept 1080p signal. wanted to use the upscaling capability of my denon 2308 thru HDMI via a regular dvd i have laying around.
-
Sir, Medyo OT lang po, pero clarify ko lang kung dv-600 upscaled your avi file to 1080p too? Alam ko kasi hindi pwede yun eh. ???
i just set my pioneer dv-600 to 1080p resolution (there are other choices like 720p, 1080i, 480p etc.) and that is the image that i got, wherein the tv's display showed the 1080p sign on the upper leftmost part of the screen. i do not know if it is truly full HD 1080p, or just a downscaled 1080p... what matters most is that the picture clarity is superb and the color depths are certainly stunning and vivid even the black levels... maybe that is a result of the bravia engine being boasted by sony in promoting their LCD lineups.
-
I have the latest sony product catalogue. I think kaya mahal yan kasi yung sinasabi nilang 0% interest ay hindi tunya na 0% interest kasi pag cash mo binili may discount daw na Php 25,000 yung 32 inch D series.

my take on this:
1. Maganda
2. Mahal
you can buy a lot more and/or better gear with the same amount of money.
agree, buy 2 Sammy 32R81B ;D

@adonis,
pano mo napalabas yung power consumption? I havent had the chance to tinker with my tv as I had to go on an overseas trip.
Its been 3 months since I last used my tv.
I miss it...
-
@meateater when you are facing your remote control, press the upperleftmost button of the remote and the power consumption together with the display property will show up, a second press will display the time on the lower right part of the tv. Before you push that button, turn on first the "show power consumption" located at the power saver settings in display configuration.
-
sir kamusta po reception ng bravia sa regular/analog cable (i.e. sky/home/destiny). Is it bad or does the bravia engine compensate for the inferior signal? If ok naman, is it the same reception or quality when viewing cable channels on a crt tv? thanks. I'm planning to buy a 32in V-series kasi. :)
would appreciate pictures if meron.
-
@greg
ok naman ang reception nya sa skycable, you can see the sample pictures that i have taken from above posts. nakakatulong din siguro ang bravia engine sa pagpapalinaw ng video. meron din kasi settings for noise reduction which has options automatic, high, medium, low and off. for me i turn it to auto, tinitimpla nya automatically ang smoothness ng video... for example pag nakalagay sa high super kinis ang video walang graininess pero medyo nababawasan ang sharpness, kaya sa automatic ang setting ko kaya ang bravia engine na siguro ang nagmamaximize the picture quality.

@greg
by the way, saan mo balak bumili ng 32" v series and how much? i have read from other threads that sight and sounds is selling that for 53k only with free home theatre and wireless headset. i have bought mine at 65k pa kaya medyo mahal pagkakapurchase ko.

wow! i didn't notice that it was a cable channel image (Cartoon Network). Akala ko video game or DVD. So I guess it's true... the bravia and noise cancellation works!
I'll get a Sony then. :) i think i can get one from sight and sounds for 44K cash and no freebies.
actually Ayala land recently ordered the S series (80 units ata) and they got them for 40K each. Dunno if direct with Sony. The S and V series have very minimal differences (exterior case, swivel stand, pero less sa power consumption yung S! dunno why)
-
@greg
goodluck on your purchase, you may also want to consider the D series with motion flow technology for fast jagged-free videos and 24p true cinema for blueray movies encoded with the same framerate. it comes at a hefty price though... but when the motion flow kicks in, you are watching as though the movie is actually being filmed in a videocam because of true to life framerate movements. you can sample those blueray sample videos at sony squares. there is one in trinoma right in front of theaterworks, the blueray movie is being played on their 50" X series and the video is really fantastic!
-
thanks xxadonisxx but i'm just on a budget meal for an lcd tv. :) Im sure the D and X series are great though.

I'm using KLV32U300. I calibrated my LCD using a DVD guide from my friend (an old AVIA guide, i think).
I just found out when navigating on my DVD player (which is Pioneer DV400),there are also settings (set at default as follows):
sharpness - standard
color - 0
gamma - off
brightness - 0
etc (forgot other settings) - also set at 0
I didn't change it anymore because already found my preferred settings during calibration. But there is another setting which I need to find out more info - full rgb vs rgb vs component.
Pls. send me your comments on my DVD player settings (or recommendation to optimize viewing). Right now i set DVD player video output as follows:
1920x1080p
full rgb
-
@eksi
i also set my resolution setting at 1920x1080p, then i use the full RGB setting because i find it to produce more darker blacks ang vivid colors than RGB and component. for other settings, i did not change it anymore, the brightness is the only one i changed i increased it gradually to have a bright which suits my eyes. please note that the pioneer dvd model that i have is DV-600 so i do not know if the result of my settings would be the same as yours. and my LCD tv is KLV-32V300 which is V series with bravia engine which enhances grealy the picture quality. for my tv setting you can backtrack on my posts above.

Newbie question po, bagong sali lang sa forums, naka klv-32v300a din ako bought it in automatic center for 60k+, pero upgraded ung home theater to dav-dz555k, naka skycable din po ako kaso medyo ang pixelated ng mga channels, like starworld, hbo, cinemax. Kapag tntgnan ko ung signal level ng mga channels, nasa green level ung mga magaganda quality and nasa yellow lang ung mga nmention kong channels. Meron po ba dapat na ibang settings or any equipment to improve quality? So far ntry ko palang gwin is to set the signal booster to auto
-
@deathblitzer, baka malabo ang cable reception mo due to technical problems like loose and deteriorated wires, or maybe may cable signal hijackers sa location mo kaya nahahati signal quality. It is also better to subscribe to a digibox, oo nga 1 tv lang ang pwede ikabit pero mas maganda naman signal quality at iwas signal hijackers. Parang di ko pa napansin yung setting ng signal booster sa tv ko pero it is just fine to set it to auto. Try also to increase noise reduction setting, from auto turn it to high mode.
-
thanks po sa reply, pero kapag bnlik ko po sa dun sa polytron na tv namin na sdtv lang eh malinaw nmn sya? Hmm maari kayang may problema ung tv ko mismo?
-
@adonis
Thank you po sa reply. Actually kinokompare ko po yung component and full rgb (out na yung rgb) by switching the setting while I'm watching full screen movie... I find na mas makulay ang component (ex. mas pink yung skin ng mukha) while i find more natural yung color if full rgb. But if naka full rgb, napapansin ko naman yung parang pixels (di ko alam kasi tawag dun) pag dark scenes pero napakaganda pag bright scenes.
That's why i tried switching naman between 1080p and 720p (hoping that "parang pixels" will be gone if switched to 720p), pero di ko makita difference nandun parin yung "parang pixels". Ano po ba ang normal resolution ng DVDs? What i know is that DV400 upscales to 1080p but i don't know from what normal resolution. How can i know the normal resolution of DVDs? I can't find kasi sa cover. Is the resolution connected with the region?
-
Ano po ba ang normal resolution ng DVDs? What i know is that DV400 upscales to 1080p but i don't know from what normal resolution.
Native DVD resolution is 480i for NTSC video, and 576i for PAL video.
How can i know the normal resolution of DVDs? I can't find kasi sa cover.
Hindi talaga nilalagay sa cover ang resolution. Pare-pareho ang resolution ng DVD kasi it's part of the specification of the format.
Is the resolution connected with the region?
Yes and no.
Resolution is determined by video signal format (480i NTSC; 576i PAL). On the other hand, video signal format depends on the region. For example, NTSC is the video standard in Region 1; in Region 2, PAL.
In other words, resolution is directly related to video format, but resolution is only indirectly related to region coding.

Yes, you are correct, HDMI FULL RGB is the best choice.
Try mo ito:
1. Set your DV400 dvd player to output 480P resolution via HDMI, this is to allow your dvd to output the native or basic resolution of the dvd format, walang ginawang upscaling ang dvd player mo sa signal. At this setting, the TV will do the video upscaling to 720P (or to 1080P if your TV is full HD). Observe the Image quality on your TV.
2. Now, try mo namang i-set yung dvd player mo to output 720P resolution via HDMI, this to allow your dvd player to do the video upscaling to 720P. At this setting, the tv will just accept the signal and display it as is without any rescaling if your tv'ss native resolution is 720P. But if your tv's native resolution is 1080P, the tv will further upscale it to 1080P. Observe again the image quality on your TV.
3. You can also try setting your player to output 1080P via HDMI, but this is not recommended if your tv's native resolution is 720P only because the signal will be upscaled by the player to 1080P then the TV will downscale it to 720P. Too many processing of the signal is not good!
Just compare the resulting image quality of the above settings and use the best. For me, I settled for the first setting, I just allow my TV to do the upscaling, it is the best setting for me. My player is Pioneer DV600 and my TV is Panasonic 42PV70.
:)
-
Does this apply to all LCD TVs capable of 1080p: TV will do the video upscaling to 720P (or to 1080P if your TV is full HD)?
-
That's right. The TV will always scale the incoming signal to its own native resolution in order to display the image.
Your LCD panel has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. Any incoming signal will always be scaled by the TV's internal processor, as long as the internal processor supports the incoming signal's resolution.
Your TV's internal processor supports incoming signals with resolutions of 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 1080i, 720p, and 1080p. The TV will process any of those signals by scaling any of them to the panel's native resolution of 1366 x 768.
If your TV is fed an upscaled 720p signal from a DVD player, the TV will still have to process it to 1366 x 768, the exact native resolution of the panel.
The same is true for TVs with native resolutions of 1920 x 1080. Any incoming signal other than 1920 x 1080 will be converted by the internal scaler to the panel's native resolution of 1920 x 1080.
Therefore, an upscaling player is not necessary if the objective is simply to display the image from the DVD source.
========================================================
Which setup will produce the better picture: (a) a pure 480i source processed to 768p by the TV, or (b) a 480i source, upscaled to 720p by the player, then further processed to 768p by the TV?
Results vary, so you will have to conduct an actual test and observe for yourself.
If the player's scaler performs better than the TV's internal scaler, then an upscaling player will help the TV produce a better picture.

@ barrister, adonis and the rest
i recieved great and very informative responses today... all i have to do now is to try it myself.... i'll inform you soon.... more power to you all!
-
@ barrister, adonis
I tried last night your reco.... i played dvd and switched from 480p to 720p and to 1080p.... here are my observations:
480p: the image is larger or somekinda zoomed... parang sa cpu monitor na capable of high resolution pero displayed a lower resolution.... therefore mas larger ang image and i find it not fine (in terms of sharpness)
720p: better than 480p, i think this is because a little upscaling nalang ang pina-process ng LCD tv to display it at its normal/native resolution
1080p: i think (and i feel) a very very little (even tiny) improvement... i said i feel kasi i can't distinguish it from 720p... (gumagana na lang siguro ang subconciousness ko nowing na i set it on the highest upscaled resolution
therefore: i trusted to what i feel kasi mas happy ako hehehehe.... i don't know if this is accurate.... i think my SONY 32u300a's upscaling capability is not as good as my DV-400's and its better for the tv to downscale (don't know if this is the term) high resolution signal to its native resolution signal rather to upscale it
your comments are very much welcome to this overnight experiment....
p.s. i have pic of my display playing 720p and 1080p using N73 kaso di ko alam magpost....
-
Thanks for the detailed observations, sir eksi.
Importante talaga ang pinoydvd for info sharing, marami na rin akong napulot na info dito ;).
Useless kasi ang info na binibigay ng salesclerks. Imbis na makatulong, nakakagulo pa. Puro mali-mali kasi ang sinasabi :D.
... i think my SONY 32u300a's upscaling capability is not as good as my DV-400's and its better for the tv to downscale (don't know if this is the term) high resolution signal to its native resolution signal rather to upscale it
Upscaling DVD players usually perform better than the TV's internal scaler. Dapat lang, kasi kung hindi, e di wala na sigurong bibili ng upscaling player. Ang TV scaler naman, hindi talaga puwede ang sobrang gandang scaler kasi they want to keep manufacturing costs down.
Generally speaking, it is true that it's easier to downscale than to upscale. Thus, a Blu-ray source downscaled to 768p will still look better than an SD DVD source upscaled to 768p.
Pero kung 480i source, upscaled by the player to 720p and 1080p --- 720p is upscaled by the TV to 768p, while 1080p is downscaled by the TV to 768p, will 1080p always be better?
Iba-iba rin ang results, depende sa player at TV. Some players are better at upscaling to 720p than 1080i or 1080p. Some TVs are optimized to give the best results with 720p sources, while some were designed to work best with 1080i sources kasi maraming broadcast HD TV sources sa US na 1080i. It's impractical to have an internal TV scaler that is optimized for all sources because of manufacturing cost constraints.
That's why I always say there's no way to know beforehand which will perform better; you will have to test and observe the results.
p.s. i have pic of my display playing 720p and 1080p using N73 kaso di ko alam magpost....

@eksi
just use the 1080p output on your DV-400, because according to your observation there is not much difference in 720p... but the point is at least you are being able to maximize your LCD tv's potential and that is to accept and display 1080p signal which other LCD tv's cannot do... one example of which is samsung's R81 series, correct me if i am wrong but i think i read that somewhere on the other topics in this forum.. and just on my personal observation, the difference of the U series and the V series of sony is very noticable, in fact my V series has a demo setting in which the screen is split in half left and right, wherein the left screen displays an image without bravia engine and the right portion displays image with bravia engine, and in observing it i can really see the night and day difference in picture quality particularly in the depthness of color saturation and contrast.

Nice shots. Very clear pics.
But you're supposed to use the exact same frame for comparison. It's very difficult to spot any difference if you're using different pictures.

If you are feeding your lcd tv with a dvd with 480p resolution via component video, would the tv's internal scaler upscale the video to its native resolution (720p or 1080p)?
-
If you are feeding your lcd tv with a dvd with 480p resolution via component video, would the tv's internal scaler upscale the video to its native resolution (720p or 1080p)?
Yes, the tv will always do the rescaling of the input signal to meet its own native resolution; wether the video signal came in via composite, S-video, Component or HDMI.

No sir, Nag add-lang po ako ng player.....

added another one on my HT.... XBOX 360.... connected it via component too.... this output 1080p via component.... pero if i play dvd, it automatically adjust to 480p.... however, if i'm playing stored video in my 360 and playing xbox 360 dvd games (e.g. halo 3, fifa 08) i can enjoy 1080p resolution.... match na match to my sony flat panel (with matching dolby prologic II sound kasi kinabit ko din sa receiver ko)!

hi got a KLV-32V300a, do you know where to get the wall mount for this lcd tv and price? thanks
you can call sony service at 3301111 if you are in metro manila, you can ask them if they do wall mounting services, for me i did not wall mount my KLV-32V300a because of the hassle of inserting the cables at the back, the cables are perpendicular to the unit's back so it protrudes when inserted and will surely press on the wall when mounted. If sony does not do wall mounting services, you can try theaterworks at trinoma and ask jeff (nemesis) if they do services like that eventhough the unit is not purchased from them.

yes, sir, naiisip ko yan about the warranty. i'm just thinking na sa price difference dito at sa abroad, kung matsambahan mang may 'defect' yung makuha, yung price difference ang ipangpapagawa. para lang akong bumili locally, if ever magkaganoon.
somehow, parang sugal na ang pinaka talo ay 'tabla' lang kung dito ako kukuha locally.
nahihilo na ako sa kakapili at kakabasa ng reviews, kaya i'm asking if i'm doing the right thing...hehe, sensha na...
-
That's ok really, that is the nature of an intelligent consumer,
you research and ask those who are really knowledgeable on the matter,...
Tama lang ginagawa mo,...
I would suggest you ask around some audio-video shop dito, ask their opinions
and recommendations, then from there you can weigh in kung ano ang magiging purpose ng bibilin mo,
Try to shy away from electronic and appliance shops na malalaki, they tend to have a higher price
dahil napupunta sa sales agent ang discount mo dapat.
There are really plenty of units to choose from esp. if you have that kind of money to spend, but with that amount, madaming shops ang magbibigay sayo ng magandang deal, that would include even the kitchen sink :)
I would suggest to send a PM to some of the sellers here, start with E-reply, he definitely can give you a nice recommendation and would explain everything you want to know...
Good luck,

SONY bravia X series wat model? x200 o x300? Kung x300 yan its good, yan naman tlga ang best full hd lcd out in the market nowadays in the States i think its called Bravia XBR. W/o waranty? i think its up to you to decide ksi pag service waranty lng naman its really nothing compared to a replacement waranty, but i dont think its offered here in the Pinas ksi mauutak din mga negosyante d2 iwas abala sa kanila.Khit Sony Phil service waranty lng ang offer. If your dead set on buying an lcd the sony bravia x300 is the best choice but price is quite high compared to other brands. If you wana go w/ plasma the 50pv70 is the best choice at a reasonable price. you can canvass n compare the price at Theater Works trinoma (look for jef) , Sights and sounds at shangrila ( looks for vic), Image at harison plaza (look for angel).
-
steelcrazy,
yes, 300. ang ganda kasi ng price compared dito sa pinas...tulad ng promo dito, kasama na yung maliit na flat tv.
may ng pm din sa akin, and pareho kayo ng advice. namamahalan din ako nung una, pero nung ikumpara ko side by side sa ibang brands, merong kakaiba sa sony na di ko mai describe. yup, pinarehas ko ang calibration nila. parang mas 'buhay' yung images at 'swabe' yung action scenes.
salamat din sa advice.
:-)
-
Yes its SONY like no other. Yan naman tlaga ang d best in terms of visuals. With the introduction of 1080p quality movies, only SONY amazed me w/ true to life images on their display. It's eye catching! Ever since tv namen d2 sa haus is always SONY. Ibang iba talaga ang picture quality pag SONY and no one can deny that deep inside their hearts. Yun nga lng its price is quite high and people tend to settle for lower price lcds or plasmas and satisfy themselves because they dont wana spend much to have a SONY. As everybody knows its hard to import SONY products kung merun man maliit lng ang kita ng mga negosyante d2 so they really looks for alternatives like panasonic and toshiba w/c they import and are aggressively pushing to the masses becoz of its cheaper price. Other brands of lcds and plasmas look good when stand alone pero pagtinabihan ng SONY one cant help notice the difference na mas buhay ang kulay pag SONY. Basta in my conclusion, if u want a 40" hd display, buy the SONY X300 undoubtedly the best but expensive. If its 50" above u have to settle for plasmas PANASONIC 50PV70 a good buy at a reasonable price. SONY products are expensive because SONY tend to package their units w/ add ons so called freebies but the truth is ur really paying for them . The secret there is if you can break the package into parts that u can sell like the inclusive home theater, hdmi cable, flat screen tv,etc then the price of the display unit alone will become reasonable and acceptable.

question po para sa mga klv300v owners... Sabi kasi dun sa site ng sony, may PAP function sya (watch two separate pictures from different sources)... Natry niyo na po ba magdesktop sa kabila and tv/dvd sa kabila?

Hi, we have a sony 32v300 and after setting "auto-tuning" the TV quality became very snowy. What setting i need to configure to make it clearer. thanks in advance
-
problem solved by manually setting the TV signal under manual channel preset programming.
-
san makikita yung demo setting ng 32v300 diko ko kse makita thnx
-
Very satisfied w/ my Bravia 40V300A excellent PQ indeed. I could have bought the panasonic 42pv70 last year but for certain reasons i settled for the Sony Bravia even if its 20% more expensive at that time. I followed my heart w/ that choice over wat my mind dictates and absolutely no regrets. Sony for me has the best color and picture quality when compared side by side w/ other brands but other people tends to shy away because of its high price not because its quality. Most people just tend to be practical w/ their choices nowadays. They are forced to settle for samsung and panasonic coz its prices are indeed a lot cheaper.

download the software from here http://www.astris.com/dpl/ (http://www.astris.com/dpl/) and output the display from your pc to your lcd tv, then run the software and you are good to go.

may dead pixels po ba na hindi makikita by just inspectioning thoroughly the display panel? because i once detected a dead pixel (a blue dot on the screen) kaya ni-replace agad ng S&S. i thought it was only 1 pixel. is it possible that the one i saw, composed of 2 or more dead pixels?

I just saw today display unit of the new Sony KLV32S400 at Sony Abenson Robinson Place, Manila. Priced at P51,990 plus usual freebies, 12 months 0% int, less P7,000 pag cash. Mas maganda pa rin ang picture quality ng Sony V series 32V300A which is also has the same price now.

Hi
From this thread, it suggests that Panels scale the pics to its native resolution. so it can upscale ? ( but only the dvd players upscale it better ? )
I recently got a W400. Im curious on how to enjoy a 1080p signal. Ive checked the net for answers ( quite lazy on this ) , asked the sony 'dizer, the service center installer, my friend who got a 42pv70 + denon setup. they all said that i need a 1080p dvd player and the tv "does not" upscale. so reading this thread took me back to square 1.
i got an old pioneer dv313 ht system. 480p. and thats what the sony displays when played, 480p.
Right now, im waiting for pioneer to launch its 1080p capable HTib. very soon says the manila supervisor. the current ones only scales to 1080i. ( yea, dv600 can do it + optics , but i have a buyer eyeing my old htib ). htib - the setup's for my bedroom. it would do. got an onkyo for the living room setup.
so whats really happening in my panel + htib setup regarding upscaling.
thanks
-
Yes thats true the Sony V-series indeed has great picture quality.

Hello po mga Sirs! Newbie here. Meron na po ba Sony bravia V na 37"?

hi, your panel is a full hd screen, meaning its native resolution is 1920X1080. so it should accept 1080p material without upscaling provided you have the following players:
bluray player (ie. ps3, or any player from panasonic, samsung and sony)
hddvd player (ie. mostly toshiba, this format is now considered dead)
but if you have standard definition materials (ie dvds) then you need a dvd upscaler to play the sd content in upscaled 1080p glory. your panel is not the problem. its the choice of player and materials that you will use that will say whether you want 1080p output or not.
so to get "real" 1080p output for your screen then i suggest you invest in a ps3 (or any bluray or hddvd player for that matter), or as many are discovering now, hard disc based players like tvix and popcorn can also play downloaded p*****d 1080p materials.
but if you really want an htib that can upscale sd content to 1080p then you may have to wait. as far as i know, still no htib in this department.
-

thanks for the clarification bossing. Read a number of threads saying "let the tv do the upscaling " etc. so it affected my grasp on it.
Htib / Ht in one systems like sony bravia line boasts of a 1080p upscaling dvd player in 3 variants. pioneer would follow soon to get its market share. so these are the 1080p units one can get to tide one over, till blueray becomes affordable. am i wrong again ?
or maybe youre saying no htib yet that delivers full hd. yea, even the player-only is still prohibitive.

you are right, but these are all, as you said upscaling dvd players so even if it upscales your standard definition materials to 1080i or 1080p it is still upscaling. its not full hd, and yes you are right again that it can be a system to tide you over before you take the hd plunge (bluray or the now defunct hddvd).
or maybe youre saying no htib yet that delivers full hd. yea, even the player-only is still prohibitive.
this statement is also correct, because their are still no htib systems that are bluray based or even hddvd based. all htib system that are existing in the market today are dvd based, even if they are upscaling to 1080p does not make them full hd systems.
dvd = 480 lines of resolution (sd)
bluray & hddvd = 1080 lines of resolution (hd)

my friend, a long time Sony technician but now working with LG Kenya told me that sony get their LCD lens from Samsung. Thus, the PQ of Samsung is he same with Sony. A fellow member here also said that. How true?

Sony LCD's (Samsung Panels + Sony's Bravia Engine)
right?

personally, the panel is of course half the technology, but the chip that decodes the digital information and turn it to pictures is equally important maybe more important than the panel itself. and manufacturers of course have their own terms for all this chip technology, sony's bravia and the others what have you. so i think its not accurate to say that samsung and sony are same in performance because they are having the same panel.
pioneer is now getting their plasma panel from panasonic, but i think pioneer still has the slight edge in terms of their sets' pq, although panasonic vieras are really starting to catch up.
-
3 of my friends ay mayroong 40" Sony X LCD and they are so happy with it. I'm a proud owner of XBR and couldn't be happier pero for the peace of mind... I bought extra 4 years warranty on top of the 1-yr warranty. You won't regret it...

sa mga owners na naka-32" s400, please post your feedback...thanks

Kailan kaya dating dito nyan? I am also looking forward to this model.
S4000 series are for the European market. This series is equivalent to our Asian S400 series.
-
i dont think sony is the best lcd tv. maraming ibang lcd tv na better pa sa sony like samsung series 6. if you compare the 2 sony (latest model) has only 30k contrast ratio whereas samsung series 6 ln52a650 has 50k contrast ratio. samsung also has 120 hz or 24p cinema. the price really matters so if you compare sony and samsung id rather have my vote to samsung in terms of quality and price.
-
SONY sets a standard of their own and their natural color and picture quality is undoubtedly the best.
-
still its unreasonable to buy a 300k worth of lcd tv. only the rich can afford that. picture quality? hmmmm yeah i know sony has good picture quality but its not the best of all lcd.
Performance
The Samsung LN52A650 is one of the best-performing LCDs we've tested. Its picture quality, anchored by excellent black-level performance, and accurate color, surpasses that of the Sony KDL-46XBR4--and Samsung's de-judder video processing has improved to the point where it's basically equal to the Sony. We did notice a couple of minor issues, and as usual we'd avoid watching dark movies on this glossy-screened TV in rooms with lots of ambient light, but that's about it.

i agree with the idea of staying away large electronics shops like ansons and others.
my uncle has the 52 xbr and its really nice and has excellent pq even with local cable tv.

Sony 32" category has the following series: W, V, D, and S. Aside from D300, which is an old model, you have mentioned the whole range of Sony 32". There is really no other model for Sony 32". Maybe, you are inquiring suggestions/recommendations for other brand TV.

quick question: i have the Sony Bravia (KLV-32s310A) which according to the manual has a native display resolution of 1366x768. as i understand it, the tv will ALWAYS output video at its native resolution. so, is this resolution also available through hdmi input or through pc input only? can the bravia display 1366x768 using hdmi? im thinking hdmi but i just want to confirm :)

mga sirs...32S400 owner here. may question ako when using the PC inputs. I am experiencing sound interference tsaka ghosting when i connect my laptop via the PC input of the bravia. Im using a cheapo monitor cables without ferrite cores (5m). nakita ko sa manual sabi daw recommended to use monitor cable with ferrite.
I wanted to ask first if buying the cable with ferrite will remove these sound and ghost interference? or is it because sobrang haba ng 5 meters and shorter cable will fix it?
kasi 600 pesos yung may ferrite na cable...ayoko mag experiment ng cables...dami ko na nakatambak na cable sa bahay e...hehe tnx!
-
Mga kasama, diba may twin pictures features yung 32v300A natin? Tanong ko lang may way ba para gumana yung sa choosing a channel? Kasi sa DVD at TV lang siya eh. Possible kaya na TV lang with two channels yun? Let say isa HBO then isa ESPN?
-

Hindi yata pwede.
not sure kung pwede ito pero you can try this. kung me sobra kang cable converter na may video out then use 2 way cable splitter. cable converter for video1 then yung isa sa tv.
-
Sa akin pwede bro. - I have a Bravia V1 Model.
You can watch two channels at once and can change each channel shown on the PAP.
Sa Bravia V1 on Twin Picture Mode, You'll notice na ung active Picture is highlighted by Green edges.
You can then switch channel on the highlighted picture. To change channel of the other picture, press left or right to change highlighted picture then you can change channel na.

Ung sa akin nang nabili ko, may kasama ng VGA Cable na may ferrite core na. And when I used the PC Input Mode using the VGA Cable on my Laptop, ok naman. Walang Ghost Interference.

Sony V series doesnt have two tuner PIP w/c means we can't view two channels simultaneously via split screen. The V series does have split screen function but only via its HDMI mode meaning we can split the screen watching a tv channel and a movie simultaneously but only when connect through HDMI.

Mine has a Twin Picture PAP and can view two channels simultaneously. It's the 1st V series released locally.

wow ang swerte nyo naman. 600 yung pinakacheapest na vga na may ferrite core na nakikita ko e. not sure kung bibili ako since i rarely use the vga input. I use it only for videos na hindi supported ng dvd/divx player, like HD Divx. By the way, i tried an HD Divx file (5.1 sound .avi 720p ithink) and the sony dvd player knows its an HD Divx and says its unsupported. which dvd/divx players support this?
anybody tried a vga cable without ferrite core and no ghosting? baka rin kasi masyado mahaba yung 5M vga cable ko e.
by the way ulit, i also noticed that the color output via PCinput is not as good as directly via player. example, same DVD movie if i play via DVD Player/HDMI VS. Laptop/VGA...mas maganda sa DVD Player. Does this have to do with the crappy built-in video chip of the laptop? in short, if i want to setup an HTPC, its really better to use a PC with a high-end videocard than an ordinary laptop?

Although schedule for delivery and installation this coming Saturday, i could hardly wait.
Any calibration or inputs recommended since its my first LCD TV.

Hey congrats! i have the cheaper 32" S model and the DZ270K HT...
calibration is automatic, works great!
as for sound...i use DPLII music mode a lot for watching movies encoded in 2channels, while I use AFD-multi to emulate surround for 2channel audioCD and MP3.
the remote takes a while to get used to but you will love the one-touch play of bravia sync...
the full/zoom/wide aspect ratio modes are best taken care of by the LCD. by the default, the 270K (and your 570K probably) is setup to WIDE. that is fine if you watch DVD's all the time. but when you watch DivX it will be stretched by the HTplayer...trying to fix the aspect ratio with your LCD wont work anymore because setting it too zoom will zoom the "WIDE"ened video...what you want is set the aspect ratio to 4:3 normal in the HTplayer and do adjustments with the LCD TV aspect ratio....the downside is when you are displaying the Bravio Home Theater Logo when the unit is idle...the bitmap jacket shows as 4:3. i dont care for the jacket logo anyway.

Sir Niknok! (Your username brings back memory of my childhood...FUNNY Komiks!!!) Thanks a lot sa feedback cant wait for my unit to be set-up and admire its full glory!
I'll be using my HT mostly for DVD movie so setting it to WIDE will be the way to go for me. Hoping to here more from you.

What screen size are you planning to get? However, if you want to get a Full-HD feature of a PS3/BD player you should get a LCD screen size not less than 46" . Any lower than that then the difference between a Full-HD and HD ready wont be too noticeable.

ganoon?ang plan ko is 32 incher na 1080P or full HD....pero next year pa ako makakakuha...siguro by that time mababa na ang prices ng v400 or w400
-
if you can wait till next year, its definite that you'll go after a newer model he he. . . bka at that time your budget will fit a 40 incher.

sana nga sir steelcrazy...by next year ang ideal budget ko is 40k minumum,hopefully sana kakayanin sa budget quota ko..

ganoon?ang plan ko is 32 incher na 1080P or full HD....pero next year pa ako makakakuha...siguro by that time mababa na ang prices ng v400 or w400

Automatic upscaled to Full-HD once the HT is turn-on theres a display on the upper left screen of the LCD showing HDMI 1080p.

Go for at least a 32" LCD rather than a 22". I just felt SONY has a class of its own. The picture quality specially the color being rendered from a Sony Bravia is certainly magnificent compared to other brands. Iba talaga pag naka SONY.

If you really want the W400 model i think your early next year timetable for buying an LCD will reward you with a big price drop from the present price since the release of a newer W4500 model (46"-52") might happen by year-end or maybe earlier.

Baka kasi wala ng bumili ng mas mahal na version kapag naka display din...he-he-he! :-[
I think limited space ung mga showroom para i-display lahat. Sa website and sony gear magazine mo lang makikita mga entry level model na LCD TV pati na din ung mga archived model sa website na lang.

Hi Guys,
I'm eeying on this one:
Sony KDL-32L4000
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665370677
is this a good buy? Primary use would be for watching movies and playing PS3. Magkano ba sya locally? Planning to buy it online.
Thanks.

I made lots of research before finally getting 32" W400 but the one you want is not available locally (L4000) but base on the specs its almost identical with the V400 (could be Local version of L4000) ::)
Also buying locally will give you warranty coverage.

Does Sony accept trade-ins? I have an old top-of-the-line 34" Wega from 2001 that will cost Php40K to have repaired. I'd rather trade it in and add for a 32" LCD if that's even possible.

i think they dont, unless its a specific program. i think jvc did this once and they are willing to get any model tv, good or broken and they give you a 10k discount for your new jvc tv. i guess you will have to wait for a particular tv company to offer such promo then go for it.
40k for repairs is too much, its already a new 37" lcd nowadays. ;D

40k just for repair? Pardon me sir but i'd rather consider it as junk, throw it away (or better yet just sell it as chop chop sa mga private repair centers) and just use my 40k to buy a new model w/in that budget.

Yeah, my sentiments as well. More sentimental value then anything else I guess considering that a decent 32" flat panel is about 32K++ brand new.

it shouldnt work. manual says it USB reads JPG and MP3 only. but go ahead and try coz i havent. but hey, even if you burn the x264 file to a CD/DVD i think it wont work. the player detects it as an unsupported format (HD DivX) or says DivX error....at least thats what happened to me one time i tried it. i avoided downloading x264 files afterwards...
on a side note, anybody can tell us what DVD player plays these files?

yea, i thought so... as of now, maybe, the most reliable way to play these files is to setup an HTPC.

46" Bravia with free 32" promo is actually a purchase of 2 TVs. Unless you really need 2 TVs, buying a TV with another free one is just like buying 2 TVs.

along this line of thinking...the "free" HTIB with additional 5K is really just buying say a 20K HTIB with the 15K bundled/hidden into the LCDTV price. so unless you really need an HTIB...
and oh if you got a free HDMI cable worth say 2K...nope you also paid for that, it was bundled in the LCD TV.
and if you got a free Tshirt and a keychain...yep you guessed it...your LCD TV was actually priced 150pesos higher... :)
nothing is free nowadays. ask for discounts instead.

Sealed na box naman ung unit upon delivery ah. Tapos mali ung remote na para sa TV? Mukhang sa manufacturer nagkamali ah. Sana napalitan na din agad ung remote mo.
RM-GA008 dapat model ng remote para sa LCD tv mo. BTW, may theater mode control naman sa remote ng HT unless you didn't get the packaged HT.
Also if you have DVD titles such as starwars,indiana jones may THX optimizer features dun para ma-calibrate mo audio/video settings in such easy steps.
Hope it could help! 8)

help naman mga sony bravia user am plan to buy a sony bravia I see the s series,v series,w series na full hd all them are 32 inches. which is yun ang prefer ko yung s series at v series na 32 inches accept 1080p di ba which bang for my bucks, but i saw the w series full hd really caught my eye at parang gusto yun na lang bilhin,pero sa akin konti lang naman ang difference s at v series sa w series. I am confused what model of 32 inches i should buy s and v series which this december nakabili na ako or ipon pa ako para makabili ng w series next week siguro february or march.In fact sabi sa akin be ptience sa bumaba naman ang price ng lcd t.v. ask ko lang advise nyo kung I should buy s series or v series,or wait for next year to buy sony w series 32 inches next week . mostly used for ps3 gaming and watching movies and nime.

Try visit Western Maketing Ever Kalookan Grand Central branch and look for the promo guy NELSON. Last week the price of 32V400 was 47k inclusive of hometheater w/ hdmi connectivity , wireless headset or 3m HDMI cable. For 40V400 its 85k w/ free hometheater w/ hdmi connectivity, 20" S400 Lcd tv, wireless headset or 3m HDMI cable. I think if you have the budget, then go for the 40v400 since you can use the 20S400( vga and 3 ports hdmi connectivity) lcd tv as a pc monitor.

32s400 is a good TV for all rounder: gaming, TV and regular dvd or blu-ray movie viewing. It also accepts 1080p.
However by August next year, this TV will surely be replaced by a new model. Therefore, instead of focusing on 32s400, you may wish to look for a new succeeding model. By that time, the newcomer might even look prettier and loaded with better features.

Thanks sir e-reply,sana by that time meron pang lalabas ng 32 inches sa sony,di ba mga bagong labas nila yung pinakamaliit is 40 inch na.. :(

if you're planning on buying a 32in LCD, i don't think it would matter kun kaya nya mag 1080p.
I read from somewhere, and have seen narin that 1080p is best experienced atleast on a 40in lcd.
for playing PS3 games, setting the resolution to 1080i (since HDready lang yun nakitaan ko) makes the texts smaller and harder to read.
720p (on 32in) is very decent already for viewing (in general).
if you have the money naman, and would really want to experience full HD, buy atleast 40in..
but if yung room is the main factor for buying 32in, any brand or model may do. don't be concerned too much on the slight differences of the models (ex. s400 and v400). <-- i see that the main diff here is the availability of the digital media in the v series which is proprietary to Sony products.... which is still very few (like wireless, ipod dock, etc). if you foresee that you'll be requiring this in the future, then why not shell out an extra 10k++ for it. :)
when comparing same brands, don't be fooled too much on the difference of their colors. compare the specs primarily instead (check the technology used, and the differences). when viewing them sa showrooms side-by-side, it may appear surely that the other one is better, but if you'll really going to check, i would bet that they were just not calibrated the same (there's a thread here that discusses how to calibrate colors the right way).
but ofcourse, you have to compare them fairly... 40in-to-40in / hd ready-to-hd ready (or fullhd-to-fullhd).
and also, an lcd tv experience is best coupled with a good or well invested home theater system. if a big part will only be used for tv (or cable) viewing, wag nalang lcd.. mahal lang. baka magtaka ka pa kung bakt mas maganda yun viewing experience dun sa old tv mo. :)
if you have the budget to buy an lcd tv, weigh your options carefully and think ahead. full hd tv's as i said is best experienced with a very good home theater system. the dvd home theater systems packaged with the tv's in the stores are just for playing DVD's. For you to see 1080p in your lcd, you should have a Blu-ray player or a ps3 at the least. syempre... to experience good audio, you should also have speakers (amps are optional) to get a feel of the truehd sound or dts-hd.
hehe.. :) enjoy your hunt for the best lcd.

Naging Sony vs Samsung na ung Thread. he he he.
Side by Side comparison na lang para tapos ang laban. ;D

So it's really fullhd? What's your monitor resolution for it?
yup fullhd. 1920x1080p @60hz desktop resolution using ATI HD 4850.
-
Okay thanks. Was just wondering because of how cheap it is compared to other Sonys. I think this is just about the same price as the 40a450 of Samsung which is not fullhd. And I think about 10k cheaper than the 40a550 (the fullhd of Samsung). Imagine, a Sony cheaper than a Samsung! ;D
-
@XanderCage ,
Wow, at that viewing distance, you definitely need FullHD, otherwise you would see artifacts and pixelation. :D
Furthermore, at that viewing distance, i cannot imagine what benefit can somebody get from a 40in which you cannot achieve with a 22inch WUXGA LCD (sub 17K pesos) ???
-
Hi,
I purchased my Sony KLV-32V300a 2nd quarter last year, so far it worked as expected and now I'm thinking of purchasing an extended warranty. I like to ask if anyone here tried purchasing an extended warranty for their LCD tv, I read somewhere here someone purchased right after the replacement of his LCD tv due to defect but like to know if its still possible to purchase extended warranty at this time.
Thanks

i dont actually sit that close when watching a movie. hehe. may sofa yan sa likod.
speaking of benefit of a 40" compared to a 22"? its quite obvious.
-
Now that you mentioned about you sofa, that changes a lot of things.
Minimum sitting distance daw for 40" with 1080p material is 5 ft. So if your sofa is closer than that, a 32" would suffice. What do you think? ???

I got a 40S400 a couple of weeks ago. Using a PS3 for blu-ray movies. Is there a way for the HDMI-control function to work with the PS3? I just tried to go thru the menu and hindi ma-detect yung PS3 as a device for the HDMI-control. No problems viewing ang playing games though. Salamat!

anyway, i just realized these technologies were just stuff of sci-fi movies years ago, but are now reality. I still have my win95 pentium at home hehehe....great to be living in these times...

Is it possible to unlock sony dvd player to be able to play multi-region rather than region 3 only?
Mine is a HTiB model DAV-DZ570K. Thanks!
Edited:
Sorry guys! I should have check my hardware first before posting this question, i found out that my HTiB is playing R1 disc also. Thanks!

Did'nt realize that my HTIB DZ270K could be region 3 locked as well. have to check it soon.
Anyway, does anybody know where does Sony source their panels lately? like the 46" above sizes? Heard that they are made in Taiwan...or from Samsung.

im pretty sure you can unlock your htib's/dvd players that are region locked, you just have to be patient, search the net, its bound to be there somewhere, i did the same for the free dvd player on our landlords apartment in singapore, and it worked like hell, the people that stayed with me were so happy with what i did that they started using it as well (they didnt really use it when i wasnt around because its region locked)
from my experience I was able to unlock around 3 dvd's/htib's just by searching for the right remote control key press combination over the net =)
i still have a bravia 32s310, too bad i bought it a month before they released the 32s400, hehehe, impuslive buy kase e, i never knew the 40s400 was native 1080p na, maybe that should be my project this christmas, to get something thats 1080p native, =)

I had my DAV-DZ150K dvd player that came with my Sony Bravia unlocked (weird thing it was locked to region 2) last year but through Sony Service center.
I tried looking for the codes on the internet but found none, so I called them and took the player and after a week brought it back unlocked. I just don't know why it took them a week to do that.

My sony htib dav-dz570k was region free otb.. :) ang problem ko lang dito walang optical in :( planning to purchase sana ng wdtv..

Sony and Samsung manufactured their panels in thailand.

my brothers 40in sony bravia V series bought last year (SRP 100+k) suddently displayed a red tint on the whole screen while his kids was playing wii... bought it to sony for repairs, and you know how much they are quoting him? 51k to replace the lcd panel!! WTFOMGBBQ!!!! sabi ko sa kanya drop his loss and buy a new one instead..
sayang talaga.. i doubt naman kung LCD panel ang problem, baka logic board or something.. will post pics when he gets his unit back..

Bought last year only? How about the warranty period? Good thing my LCD bought October last year was under the extended 2 years warranty period promo they had.

yun nga ang nakakainis.. its like one month or 2 out of the 1st year warranty.. di na daw covered.. sad no?

2 years ago i bought a samsung 40" for my mom, ngayon sira na ...called the samsung hotline, to cut the story short, i need to pay P8,000 parts and labor to fix it. Bulok talaga samsung, in my experience with sony all my tvs last 10 -20 years, luckily the latest tv i bought was a w400 hopefully it wont suffer the same fate as my samsung :'( ( this is also the last i will buy this brand )
-
Which do you prefer when watching BD/DVD movies theater mode On or Off?
Mine is set to On.
-
Hi everyone! I'm planning to buy an LCD (1st one) and browsing through the available LCDs. I decided to get a 40"-42". Right now the Sony KLV-40W450 is on top of my list. I tried to view the unit at Sights and Sounds but unfortunately they didn't have unit available that time. I would like to ask what are the impressions for this model and how does it stack up with the other 40"-42" models like the Samsung 40A650 or the Toshiba 42X3500?
-
sony (latest model) has only 30k contrast ratio whereas samsung series 6 ln52a650 has 50k
ano naman kung mas mataas contrast ratio, i never base my decision on specs, pinakamaganda pa rin basehan kung ano yung nakikita ng mata mo.
when i bought my lcd, i was deadset on getting the samsung, pero pagdating ko sa store nung nakita ko yung sony di ko na pinansin yung samsung. ibang iba talaga colors ng sony.
-
i prefer off. masyado kasi madilim. hehe.
-
I've seen both and at the end of the day it's really a matter of taste ;)
-
ako on, mas trip ko kasi ung dating. prang mas kita ung details. eto rin ang gamit ko sa ibang games. pero kapag bright maxado ung games, in-off ko.
-
Theater mode 'On'. PQ seems to be more smoother. :)
-
OFF

our family has several flat panels including samsung, panasonic, toshiba, and 2 sony lcd tvs
all are 40"-42" in size.
my favorites are the samsung then the panasonic then the toshiba then the sony.
i never liked sony when doing comparisons with other brands in the showroom floor.
overpriced and no difference in its color rendition.
I used my own dvd when comparing the flat panels
the reason why we have sony lcd tvs at home is because my dad is old school and is "brand concious".
even he cant see the difference. basta he wants sony daw.
in case you are wondering why sony colors look so good on the showroom. i have a friend who showed my why. the source of the tv is a sony store exclusive bluray player hidden form the customers. the discs used are also supplied by sony to maximize the tv's potential
it looks really good on the showroom floor. once you buy it and bring it home. the sony pictures dont quite look the same anymore.
my 2 cents
-
ako on, mas ok siya for me, mas smooth un dating and mas crisp un details ;D
-
same here, had to turn it "off"...medyo madilim pag naka "on" ;)
-
still its unreasonable to buy a 300k worth of lcd tv. only the rich can afford that.
the mere fact that ferdie is considering this LCD is somehow a testament to his financial standing.
i do agree that the X-series is expensive. but at the end of the day, it's still his money. right? ;)
-
How does the Samsung series 8 compare to SONY X series?
-
How does the Samsung series 8 compare to SONY X series?
I think they are really close already, and when you factor in the price, imo Samsung blows the Sony by a mile. I don't think the slight better picture is worth the 150 to 200 thou diff, sometimes even double the price. Samsung 55 inch LED 329 thou, Sony 55 inch x4500 (ata, not sure with the model, but top of the line) its above 750 thou..Reliability issue, of course a question mark for Samsung. But I think those samsungs are getting better and better. Look at those new Hyundai Starex (also Korea), its really awesome ;D, great engine, great interior etc..Lots of people are buying ;).
I'm not making this a Samsung vs. sony thing. Of course its up to one's preference and financial capability. But I will tell you guys one thing ;D ;D. The 150 to 200 thou I saved buying a 46 samsung m81 over the 46 x series couple years ago. I ended up buying ;D
1. Ps3
2. Toshiba a30, a35
3. Sony s350
4. lots of blu-ray and hddvd discs.
Enjoying every minute of it..(knocking on wood) So far so good :)
Again nothing to destroy sony or convince others not to buy sony, but their price is really unrealistic. Of course I'm just giving my opinion on those who are looking for an lcd lang, not plasma. I just try to maximize my money.
-
good evening, mga sirs...magtatanong lang kung mahusay ba ang sony bravia x-series LVD tv (40')?
i'm seriously considering buying one. maganda na ba ang price sa P150,000 brand new, without warranty?
thanks... :-)
Hello Sir Ferdie,
Just asking, have you already done a side by side comparison between LCD and plasma? From your sentence, you seem already dead-set on an an LCD......and from Sony.
Thanks.

Ano po ba differences ng dalawa? I am eyeing for the 40s400 (ipon mode for this model) at ngayon may nakikita na akong mga bagong models ng sony with bravia engine 3. so ngayon nalilito na ako kung anong mas better.
Mga 32incher pa naman ang nakikita kong S,V series dito pwera lang sa W at WE series meron na 40inch mahal nga lang hehehe. However sa sony asia na site naka post na lahat ng mga bravia models nila.

Hi guys new here in pinoydvd. I just got a 40” Sony Bravia 3 (V-series) for (Australian) $2,100. And it came free with an 80 GB PS3! Good deal na ba to?
I was really impressed with the PQ. Perhaps it’s a bit overwhelming I reckon. The only downside I can say is there seems to be some backlight bleed. Now I’m thinking of having it exchanged but the store has run out of stock of the same model. They got the W-series but I have to put in an additional $600 more. So I guess my options are;
1. Get a full refund.
2. Get a Samsung 40” or an LG 40” of the same price but I lose the PS3 since the promo is tied with a purchase of a Sony 40” and above.
3. Get the Sony Bravia 3 W-series for $600 more.
4. Ignore the bleeding, seems like a good deal to start with considering the free PS3.
I’ve been reading about this clouding/bleeding issue, and it seems like it’s not only an issue for Sony but other brands as well. I’m quite unsure if I want to add $600 more and then have the same bleeding issue again. Need some expert opinions from people who have owned several LCD TVs. Thanks.
-Jack
-
AFAIK due to the fact that I was testing several Sony units recently as I am planning to purchase one anytime soon. I go with number 4 if the bleeding is not that noticeable else, I go with number 3 but I doubt the W series doesn't have those issues.
-
Yup, I'm quite sure I've read somewhere that the Bravia Engine 3 W-series also has this issue. It's my fault din kase never did any research. When the promo came up, I took it hehe =). Anyway, I'm in the market kase for a PS3 and HDTV (with a digital tuner) and just starting to go in stores to compare TVs. I mean it's a Sony TV and being it a "Sony" never did bother checking the net for reviews believing that Sony has always been one of the best around.
I'm searching the web for any calibration setttings and can't find any for this model. Baka sakali ma-solve nito. I hope other users can jump in and post their settings. Or opinions on other brands (Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, LG) if they have this problem and how they resolve it. Thanks
-
Just an update, after a week of use the backlight bleed is gone. Good thing I held on to it, though I still have 3 weeks to go if I want it replaced or refunded. I guess parang auto din, kailangang i-break in ba. =)
-jack
-
Just an update, after a week of use the backlight bleed is gone....
Hmmm... I dont think its really "gone", its probably that you get used to it now and you tend to ignore it na lang. Ganyan kasi experience ko sa 42" plasma ko. Nung bago pa lang yun, I am bothered with the screen's reflection, very reflective kasi ang surface ng plasma panel. Pero katagalan, parang di ko na napapansin yung reflections, nakasanayan na ba. Ganyan talaga, all technologies have their own limitations. Pwera na lang siguro if we buy the top of the line, state of the art models costing tens of thousands dollars, siguro near perfect na yun at wala na tayo makikitang flaws.
Just enjoy your games and movies, that was the purpose of buying your Sony, isn't it? ;D ;D
-
No worries enjoying every bit of it, with or without the backlight bleed. Anyway, what I did was ran a screen test similar to the one I used for spotting the bleeding in the first place. I connected a laptop and ran several pitch black backgrounds (wallpaper, movie credits, scenes, etc.) and turned off literally all light source in the room. I did the test again last night since I'm just wondering if it's still there, adjusted different levels of the backlight from min to max, and it was gone. No mapping or clouding at all. I was thinking if it had been caused during the trip from the store to my place, because I placed it facing down in the trunk. And since the TV just sits still for a week now, this must have settled something that has to do with the backlight.

if i'm not mistaken, the W-series is the same as the V-series (120Hz) except that its supposed to be Energy Star compliant (easier on the power bill)
so yeah, good buy. dunno about the price though, i'm not familiar with Philippine prices
-
Sir Choy, the V-series here in the Philippines of Sony is not 120Hz, the W series has 120Hz.
I guess your models over there are more advance than here in the Philippines.
-
Sir Choy, the V-series here in the Philippines of Sony is not 120Hz, the W series has 120Hz.

hhhmmm... maybe it is
mali pala ako
here in Canada
L-series = 60Hz 720p/1080i
S-series = 60Hz 1080p
V-series = 120Hz 1080p Bravia 2 engine
VE5-series = 120Hz 1080p Bravia 2 engine Energy Star/energy saving technology
W-series = 120Hz 1080p Bravia 3 engine, Bravia Internet Video widgets
Z-series = 240Hz 1080p
so pareho lang ba W series dito at diyan?
they could have just opted to release the W series and skipped on the V series
-
Sir choy we have the S, V, W, WE5, Z and X series.
The V series got no 120 Hz, but its got bravia engine 3
The W and Z series are the same, except we don't have the Bravia internet Widgets
-
so its still not uniform across all regions
-
Pasagot naman po. Pwede ba gamitin yung VGA to RGB cable to connect laptop to V550A? may sounds na rin ba yun or video lang? Wala pa kc HDMI yung laptop ko.

VGA (Video Graphics Accelerator) does not carry audio content. Answer is no. Use a 3.5mm (from laptop) to stereo RCA (White and Red) audio jack for the audio ouput.

I have set up and tested a Sony 46V550 sometime May 2010 for a friend. Didn't like the color quality of HD Movies on it. Adjusted colors for one movie. Then switch to another movie, the color is not good again and needed re-adjustment. Tried a Spiderman 2 movie (by Sony Pictures on BluRay) which should yield the best colors. Not so good on this Sony model. Kinda weird if you ask me. Don't know about other Sony models.
I have an LG 32LH70YR which had the best rendition of colors for this Spiderman movie. I wouldn't trade the Sony 46V550 for my LG 32LH70YR anytime.

Im using a sony 32 bx300 in my living room. The tv is great, even cable channels looks good. I replaced an older model panasonic 32lx700. Comparing the two. sony's features and picture is better. Problema ko lang yung channel assignments, its not user friendly.

^i've read somewhere na pa-phase out na daw ang BX series kaya sinesale na 'to sa mga shops like in SM...
less 5K or mag-add ng some amount may home theatre na....
i have a question to all forumers here... anong difference ng KLV at KDL ng Sony Bravia?
thanks!
-
meron na po bang owner dito ng "Sony Bravia KDL-32EX700"? any feedbacks? sale daw kasi sa automatic center for a very low price.. thanks po..

KDL vs KVL...info from web surfing: KDL are models released in the Americas...KVL is for Asia. Looks like KVL is an upgraded model, with better features (USB, Picture Enhancer, etc) and with an upgraded Bravia Engine Video Processor, equivalent or even exceeds the DNIE Series 3 Samsung LCD features.
-
gud pm sir..
may problema ako sa sonr bravia 23' ko..
may green line siya horizontal....bigla nlng lumabas.
-
Its lcd panel failure if vertical or horizontal lines appears. If its still under warranty, they might exchange you a brand new unit or replace your lcd panel.
-
sir 2 years po ba warranty ng sony ??
1 year and a half na lcd namin bka hndi na covered.
-
hi gud pm
napapansin ko lang sa sony lcd namin may parang pumipitik sa likod ng lcd?? normal lang ba ito??

sakin po KDL-40Ex600 pero mas maganda specs kesa sa KVL :D
-
KDL vs KVL AFAIK kdl means that your unit has a built in digital tuner to receive digital broadcast while the kvl model only has an analog tuner. don't know if its true just read it from AVforums. Happy Holidays!!!!

na pa warranty na ..
wlang bayad.. buti nlng 2 years warranty..
pero yung component namin na sony din(yung may sorround speaker) malaking problema.
1 year warranty lng pla yun. sira daw power board. 5k daw babayaran. pero di pa sure kung power board lang sira, . hayzz.. kailangan dapat may lightning arrester tv nyo.

Hi guys! need help... nagkaproblem yung sony bravia namin, after one hour of watching all of a sudden naging blurred at discolor na yung display. Grayish na yung display. Then we went to sony center para idiagnose sabi papaltan na daw yung buong LCD Panel, and it will cost around 20k daw. 2 years na sya this coming January 26 pasok pa sana sya sa warranty the problem is nawala yung warranty card and receipt. Any advice?

Sony is introducing x-reality as replacement to their Bravia 3 picture engine
-
anyone here.. can some tell me which one is better.. the new 2011 Sony CX520? or the Sony NX520?? the first one is using the new X-Reality engine and the latter still uses the Bravia 3 engine, its kinda odd that the NX520 is much expensive considering that it has older engine?/ can someone help me out?

di ba its 40BX420 not 40BX400? correct me if im wrong chief..... ???
-
420 bago lang yan, ngayun year lang yung 400 last year.
Ang pinagbago lang ata ay mas madamign USB ports yung 420 at merong ambient sensor.
-
it's Sony 40BX400 not the Sony 40BX420 :)
-
it's Sony 40BX400 not the Sony 40BX420 :)
ah ok Sony 40BX420 kse yun nabili ko kaya pala..... ;D
-
Wala kasi sa budget ko Sir bentot yung 40BX420 eh, hehehehehehehhe!! Kasi it's still around 35K ata in SnS. So I just opted for the 40BX400. Ok naman kahit it was last year model.
Ewan ko ba, na train ata yung mata ko sa Sony TVs eh, hehehehehehehehe!!!
Kasi since I was a child Sony talaga TVs namin. But that's just me.

maganda talaga sony no doubt mahal nga lang....bumili kse ko samsung 51" plasma 2011 model kaso nag goghost sa local channels lalo na sa fast scenes di mapanooran kaya sinoli ko at pinapalitan ko sony 40BX420 para sure na so far ok naman satisfied ako.... :)
-
BX420 has the XrossMediaBar (XMB™) Menu System and the usb media player now can play all sorts of movies including divx hd
Yup, it seems Sony is better at displaying analog tv broadcast and sd content.

Hi guys! I've just bought a klv32cx320 model, less than a month pa.. Any feedbacks about this model? i used it mainly for my ps3 and movies.. It reads my 1TB goflex.. Thanks! I'm just a newbie here.

Hi guys, I just bought a Sony 40BX450 earlier, any reviews on this. So far it's worth it :) so happy with the purchase :D
-
Planning to purchase a 40" or 42" LED TV. 3D feature is not that important for me but the TV should have Ethernet/WiFi connectivity and not less than 120Hz Refresh Rate. Well is it still advisable to get that low refresh rate or should I aim for a higher value?
Please recommend a nice current model for SONY. I'm really thinking of buying either a Sony, Samsung, or LG brand. Thanks! :)
-
I just Bought KLV-32EX330 with DVP-SR760HP at Sight and Sounds for 18k, ok kaya ito? first choice ko KDL-32EX520 wala na stock
-
Tip: I recently discovered, when I was researching about the LED TV I plan to purchase, that 120Hz and 240Hz does not have so much difference. Go for 400Hz and up refresh rate if budget will allow! :)
-
guys i have a KLV-32EX330 bought a month back..now i noticed may isa or dalawa na black spot..dead pixel i suppose..is this liveable or pa service ko na agad?will sony kaya replace my lcd panel?
-
.is this liveable or pa service ko na agad?
first.sorry to hear about that.sure sucks kabago bago nagka issue agad na ganyan.
only you can decide if you can live with it. more than a month or less? di ko alam how Sony deals with issues like this. if via phone muna then they send someone out to check it o dala lang sa service center agad....
anyways, do keep us posted. im sure a lot will benefit from the info.good luck
-
nung 26th of october ko binili so more or less more than a month..tried to call their service center dito sa bacolod city and the CSR told me to bring it in daw for repair no minimum number of dead pixels daw...sana ma replace nila..keep you posted
-
Wow 32EX330 pa naman pinagpipilian ko... base sa input above parang it lessen its appeal :c

This recently happened to my 32 Sony Bravia S550a. Dark/black scenes became red. Had it fixed at Sony Centre Kalaw, just paid for the P800 labor. Fuse yata ang problem.

Hello people,
I have just recently purchased a Sony Bravia KLV 24" LED TV, for some reason the box only lists it as an R40, i don't know if that's a general no. meant to refer to the R402 or R422 series of TV's but I'd like to assume it's an R402A, anyway here's my question:
What is Cinema Drive?
In the specs and in the TV settings, there is no Motion Flow feature, but I was hoping Cinema Drive would achieve the same function, which is to smooth out video motion until it looks like 60fps.
As it stands however, Cinema Drive seems to do only one thing when I turn it on... nothing.
I've looked all over the net, and seen posts about how incredibly wonderful turning Cinema Drive is, "Once I turned it on it's like the characters were in the room with me!". But I usually see it mentioned in connection with Motion Flow, while adjusting Cinema Drive to be Auto1 or Auto2, etc.
My Cinema Drive has only two settings, off and Auto. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me? I don't understand how Sony would include Cinema Drive on a Bravia TV like mine that serves no purpose.
Even the manual says that it improves motion on videos played from Bluray, DVD, VCR recordings that were recorded at 24fps, etc.
Thanks,
Ryan
-
It's hard to tell what it does if the manufacturer doesn't explain it. That's because terms like those are not official AV terms, but merely prorietary terms of the manufacturer for marketing purposes.
I tried googling for Auto 1 and Auto 2, but all I found were settings for Bravia's Cinemotion, not for Cinema Drive, which only has On and Auto settings.
If, as you say, the manual says it improves motion on videos played from sources recorded at 24fps, then Cinema Drive automatically activates when it detects 24p sources by matching the frame rate of the source. If it does not detect a 24p source, it will not do anything.
For you to be able to notice any difference, you must be able to spot the difference between 24p and 29.97p playback. Otherwise, they will look the same.
24p is important to me since I can easily see 24p compatibility. If you can't see the 24p difference, then the feature is useless to you.
But if you're looking for a Motion Flow function, that's not it. Motion Flow is motion interpolation. 24p compatibility is not motion interpolation.
-
I've confirm from the back of the tv that it is a klv-24R402A which interestingly in all specs i found on the internet IS supposed to have Motionflow. But it doesn't.
Anyway i've tested Cinema Drive on everything, especially bluray movies because those are sure to be 24p with the best potential for smoothing. Still no difference. I am a 60fps fanboy so i can easily tell the difference between 24p and 60fps type motion. 24p and 29.97 is a little harder. But i've never heard of interpolation to produce 29.97 from 24p and quite frankly, i don't need it. I'd rather watch movies in their original framerate of 24p (and preserve it's artistic value), or interpolated to 60.
-

It's not that simple, since frame rate is a very confusing topic.
Most BD movies are encoded at 23.976p, not 24p. 24p is the standard frame rate of film, not HD home video.
There are some movies encoded on BD at a true 24p frame rate (especially the European ones), but they are unusual. Recent examples of true 24p BDs are The Devil's Volinist (2013), A Royal Affair (2012) and Philomena (2013).
24p or 23.976p will not give you a smooth, Motionflow-like cadence. It will still have judder, but it will be a judder that closely resembles the cadence of 24p film in cinemas.
For me, the best candidate for Motionflow is a 29.97fps encode, such as the NatGeo documentaries. 24p with Motionflow ruins the original cinematography, giving the cadence a weird look that's just "off." But 29.97p with Motionflow gives you a very stable picture without judder that looks good on nature docus.
I am a 60fps fanboy so i can easily tell the difference between 24p and 60fps type motion. 24p and 29.97 is a little harder.
29.97 and 60 are essentially the same thing.
29.97fps is an NTSC TV standard, which was introduced with NTSC color in 1953, where the older rate of 60 fields per second was reduced by a factor of 1000/1001 to avoid interference between the chroma subcarrier and the broadcast sound carrier.
29.97fps is commonly written today as "30fps" for convenience. But the 30fps is actually displayed at 60 interlaced frames per second. At 60fps, you're not really getting 60 different pictures per second, you're only getting 30 different pictures per second, with each full frame being split into 2 interlaced frames to make 60 interlaced frames.
With modern progressive-display flat panels, each pair of interlaced frames is combined to form 2 progressive frames. However, you just get 2 frames of the same picture, not 2 different pictures. Therefore, a progressive TV displaying a 30fps feed at 60fps is merely doubling each of the 30 frames to make 60 frames per second.
But i've never heard of interpolation to produce 29.97 from 24p and quite frankly, i don't need it. I'd rather watch movies in their original framerate of 24p (and preserve it's artistic value), or interpolated to 60.
29.97 is too slow for TV displays, and the average person will easily see flickering. That's why 60fps is the standard for NTSC TV, even if it's actually 30p with each frame being doubled on the display.
On my Samsung plasma TV, a 24p blu-ray source is displayed at the correct cadence of 24p, but at a high frequency of 96 Hz to minimize flickering. This means that each frame of the 24p source is displayed 4 times per second, so that 24p x 4 = 96 frames per second.
Seeing the difference between 24p (23.976p) and 60p (29.97p) is difficult for the ordinary viewer because he doesn't know which scenes he should be looking out for. But the video enthusiast knows which scenes will show the difference most clearly, that's why he can spot the difference so easily.
-
Let's just call 60fps "soap opera effect". I understand that Motionflow can take any video, regardless of framerate, and do it's best to make it as close as possible to the "soap opera effect". I thought that's what Cinema Drive does. I found a couple of more articles that suggest that Cinema Drive does interpolate between 24p frames to create the net effect of "more" frames per second and a smoother video. Like an alternative technique to Motion Flow. But on my TV, it does nothing for my 24p or 23.976 movies.
(I will post my original question in a separate thread so it can reach a wider audience.)
-
60fps is not soap opera effect. It's just an NTSC rate with progressive frames.
Soap opera effect starts at the double rates of 100Hz for PAL, and 120Hz for NTSC. Further doubling that will give you 200Hz and 240Hz.
Soap opera effect is the result of motion interpolation in 100Hz or higher. There is no soap opera effect on 60Hz because there is no motion interpolation on 60 Hz.
But on my TV, it does nothing for my 24p or 23.976 movies.
Of course it does something. It detects 24p sources and renders the source at 24p.
The reason why you can't see any difference is because you're looking for a soap opera effect, which is not a 24p rendition.
That's why I keep repeating that if you can't see the difference between 24p and 60p, you won't be able to see what Cinema Drive does either.
Let's put it this way. There is no motion interpolation in both 24p and 60p rendition. The difference is that there is a 2-3 pulldown on 60p , but not on 24p. The question is, how does 2-3 pulldown look like on a TV, as distinguished from a 24p video without pulldown? What kind of scenes will best emphasize the difference?
If you can't answer it, you won't be able to see what Cinema Drive does.
-
Oh but 60hz is technically soap opera effect.
Ever wonder why Tekken always looks so smooth even on lowly lowly 60hz TV's? It's because the Playstation outputs those games at 60fps and the 60hz TV's displays those 60 frames at 1 frame/hertz
The only reason motion interpolation is needed is because it has to interpolate between 24fps in order to reach an aggregate net effect of having 60 or more unique frames display per second. Soap opera effect essentially is anything that shows 60 or more unique (non-repeating) frames per second.
I don't understand how the pulldown techniques work, but my only concern was whether Cinema Drive did any motion interpolation or not. So obviously it doesn't, so there.
-
your unit doesnt have the soap opera effect if you're expecting SOE. It's only 60hz and Sony calls this "Motionflow 100". So all Tvs actually have "motionflow" if you follow Sony's marketing.
Like what was said, SOE starts at 120hz and above.
Cinema mode i understand detects 24fps into motionflow 60hz causing less judder. HTH
-
Oh but 60hz is technically soap opera effect.
No, that's not right.
Soap Opera Effect is a new term that was coined to describe the effect of motion interpolation software on movies converted to home video. That is why you will notice that there was no such term as "Soap Opera Effect" during the time when motion interpolation was not yet available to the general public.
"Soap Opera" refers to a serial drama originally on radio, then later on TV. It's called "opera" because it reminded people of theater opera during the time of the popularity of radio dramas. It's called "soap" because the sponsors were usually the soap manufacturers.
In the Philippines, we call them telenovelas, from the Mexican term, first used here during the popularity of Marimar.
"Soap Opera Effect" refers to the effect that motion interpolation produces on 24p film converted to video. In other words, the film, instead of looking like film, looks like a TV show or soap opera.
If you're watching Marimar on TV, do you call it a Soap Opera Effect? No, you call it a soap opera, not a soap opera effect.
You add the word "effect" only when there is motion interpolation, such as where the original frame rate is 24fps, motion-interpolated to 120Hz. If the original frame rate is 60 fields per second, such as in Marimar, then it is rendered as 60p on your TV, you don't call that a Soap Opera Effect, you simply call that a Soap Opera.
Therefore, the term Soap Opera Effect (SOE) does not apply where the the original video was shot at 60 fields per second or 29.97 frames per second, then rendered as 60p on a TV. That is why it is not correct to say that anything 60p is "technically" soap opera effect.
Ever wonder why Tekken always looks so smooth even on lowly lowly 60hz TV's? It's because the Playstation outputs those games at 60fps and the 60hz TV's displays those 60 frames at 1 frame/hertz
It's frames per second, not frames per Hertz.
Why is Tekken smooth?
Fighting games are usually encoded at 60fps. They are smooth because they are not originally 24p encodes that were rendered at 24p, or 24p rendered at 60p with 2-3 pulldown, but because they were originally encoded at a high frame rate.
The only reason motion interpolation is needed is because it has to interpolate between 24fps in order to reach an aggregate net effect of having 60 or more unique frames display per second.
No, that's not it.
Motion interpolation adds new frames that were not present in the original video encode.
24p is rendered as as 60p by using 2-3 pulldown in a process called "telecine conversion," not motion interpolation. Thus, 24p is converted to 60p without interpolation.
Soap opera effect essentially is anything that shows 60 or more unique (non-repeating) frames per second.
No, you're making things up.
SOE is motion interpolation. No motion interpolation, no SOE.
If you watch TV Patrol or Eat Bulaga on TV, the frame rate looks like a soap opera. Is that a Soap Opera Effect? No, because there was no interpolation applied. The video was shot originally at 29.97 frames per second, with 60 interlaced frames per second.
It's smooth because it's originally and naturally smooth, not because motion interpolation was applied.
-
I apologize. My wordings were monumentally disastrous. From now on i will never use the term soap opera effect. I had not realized that it was a term coined by TV manufacturers to describe their proprietary motion interpolation techniques. What i always meant was "soap opera phenomenon", referring to how our eyes perceive 60fps and higher. So my earlier statement should be rephrased, "60hz allows for the soap opera phenomenon".
I said 1 frame/hertz because that's how I assumed Tekken outputs it's 60fps to a 60hz TV. If the tv screen refreshes 60 times per second, then a Playstation outputting at 60fps would theoretically shoot each frame in sync with the TV's refresh. So it would be 1 PS3 frame/1 TV Refresh.
Sorry about my other statement, it was rushed, "The only reason motion interpolation is needed is because it has to interpolate between 24fps in order to reach an aggregate net effect of having 60 or more unique frames display per second."
I hope this is more accurate, "The only reason motion interpolation is needed is to interpolate between the frames in 24p video that has been pre-converted through telecine conversion, in order to produce an effect of 60fps output."
And regarding my last statement, again soap opera phenomenon instead of soap opera effect.
Barrister, when you said Cinema drive detects 24p source and renders it at 24p, did you by any chance mean that the TV plays back the 24p at it's original framerate instead of using pulldown techniques to make it conform to 60p?
-

Yes, 24p is displayed at 24p.
It can't be 60p (more accurately, 59.94p). Otherwise they will have to use pulldown, since 59.94 (29.97 x 2) divided by 24 will not give you a whole number that can allow proper conversion. 59.94 divided by 23.976 is 2.5, which is still not a whole number, and the ".5" is the half frame that requires pulldown.
Film is 24p. NTSC on flat panel TV is 60p (59.94p). When Sony says "Cinema Drive," it can't mean 60p of NTSC TV, otherwise the use of the word "cinema" will not make sense, and they should have called it "TV Drive" instead of "Cinema Drive."
That's why LG calls it Real Cinema; Panasonic, 24p Cinematic Playback; and Samsung, Cinema Smooth --- because the word "cinema" distinguishes 24p rendition from 60p rendition.
So, using Cinema Drive, does the TV play back the 24p at its original framerate? Yes.
Using Cinema Drive, does the TV use 2-3 pulldown and convert 24p to 60p? No. If it detects a 25fps PAL source, it will display at 50Hz, no pulldown; if it detects a 29.97fps NTSC source, it will display at 60Hz (59.94Hz), no pulldown; if it detects a 24p source, it will display at 24p (but not at 24Hz).
If it displays at 24p, does it mean that the TV shows only 24 frames per second? Definitely not. 24fps at 24Hz is unwatchable because it flickers too much. Older 24p-capable TVs refresh 24p at 48Hz by doubling each frame, but flicker is still obvious at 48Hz.
Newer TVs refresh 24p at 72Hz, to simulate the triple shutter on cinema projectors. But on higher-end TVs, the standard is now 24p at 96Hz, meaning each frame is refreshed 4 times (24 x 4 = 96).
Movie projectors cannot display 24fps of film as is. If they did, all you will see is an unwatchable blur. What they do is implement a double shutter that opens and closes twice for each frame of film, in order to be able to show each frame individually, instead of showing a series of overlapping frames continuously. Today's standard is a triple shutter per frame in order to minimize the flicker that is more obvious on double shutter projectors.
=======================================
The question you should ask is, "What type of scenes will demonstrate the difference between 24p-to-24p without pulldown vs. 24p-to-60p with telecine pulldown?" The answer is scenes with slow camera pans.
Example? The opening scene of Hugo has a slow-panning scene that is very long. Beautifully cinematic cadence on 24p at 96Hz. It's going to have bad judder at 60p, but still ok for most people, since it's hardly noticeable to the average viewer anyway.
It's extremely jerky on YouTube's 30fps due to a bad implementation that looks like simple frame-dropping instead of a proper pulldown:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svDYdh77JkA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svDYdh77JkA)
Also try I, Robot, (time: 25:35 to 25:57; look at the robots) and the opening scene of The Day After Tomorrow (00:53 to 02:55).
Note:
My examples are encoded not at true 24p, but at the standard 23.976p. Try a true 24p BD encode, and if you notice a dropped frame every 41seconds, then your Bravia cannot handle true 24p correctly.
They should have agreed on a single standard HD frame rate, since this 24p vs. 23.976p difference is confusing the industry, especially the media player makers.
They came up with 23.976 because 24fps of film x 1000 ÷ 1001 = 23.976. This factor of 1000 ÷ 1001 (a remnant of the NTSC factor of 30fps x 1000 ÷ 1001 = 29.97) should have been discarded when we shifted from analog TV to digital TV.

My old Sony 32EX400 4 year old and still alive upgrade to 48in R472b.

Mga Sir, in lay man's term po, medyo technical po kasi ang mga explanation natin,sa madaling salita po, hindi po ba maganda ang effect ng let's say 60hz lang refresh rate when your watching blurays. Kung hindi po ba maselan ang manunuod ok na ba yun? Kasi po I'm planning to get the 48W600B...which I believe is 60Hz lang ang refresh rate din..or malaking bagay yung sinasabi nila na x-reality na features nito.. Maraming salamat sa tulong...

Hi guys yung 42" EX-410 ko bigla na lang ayaw mag power? Naka AVR naman po ako simula nung nabili ko itong unit na ito. Even yung red power light wala pong ilaw, ano po kaya naging problema nito? Saan po kaya Sony Service Center malapit sa Novaliches. Thanks and more power sa PDVD.

Hi Guys,
We have a Sony HX855, and the problem with the unit is that it automatically turns off after 15 to 20 minutes from the time the unit is turned on. I checked the TV Time, naka-off naman yung TV Timer. Ganun din with the "Eco-Mode", naka-off din yung "Eco-Mode".
Do you guys have a similar experience?
What did you do to solve the problem?
TIA

Any owners/users of Sony 40 KLV-R352B? Any feedback on this unit? Durability and performance-wise? I'm buying one this coming Saturday.

Here are my settings for watching movies on the W904, which also has the X-Reality tech of the W600. I used a plasma for years, and also have a pj in a dark, dedicated space, so I have tried to achieve a setting which equals what I like from plasmas, while giving me the brightness I like from my pj. Am quite happy with it.
Picture mode - cinema 1
Backlight - daytime 7-8, nighttime - 4-5
Picture - 87
Brightness - 49
Colour -48
Hue - 0
Color temp - warm 1
Sharpness 40
Downwards all off till motion flow - either clear or true cinema or off
Cinema drive - auto
Adv. settings
Black corrector - off
Adv. contrast enhancer - med
Gamma -2
Led dynamic control - low
Downwards off till white balance settings are:
0
-3
-6

0
+1
Everything else off

masyado ba visible?
-
tolerable naman on a bright or lighted room. i just noticed tonight that there is a bit of bleeding or uniformity issue..
after I made my post earlier, I did a few research and this model, being edge lit, indeed has uniformity issues.
I just hope it wont get worse over time..
anyone else had the same problem with your bravias? the w800 or w900 models?
-
1 year old na yung 55W904A namin, no problem here.

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a 48inch tv. One of my options is the Sony KDL-48W600B. My primary use will be gaming (ps4) and HD movies (via Media Player) not really looking forward to the smart tv features. So my main concern is the picture quality. Appreciate if you could provide your current feedback for this model.
I also saw a cheaper model, the Sony 48R472, this is around 10k cheaper than the w600b :) not sure if this will do for me or not. Im having a hard time finding reviews for this model.
Just a background. My other choices are the Samsung 48" H5500 and the LG 49" LB6200 (If i find a brand new one hehe). Budget is around 40k or less
Thanks :)

ask ko lang if meron owners dito ng sony R550A units? baka pwede pashare ng settings nyo? ^-^

Due to an untimely failure of our LG 42LS5700, we had to find a replacement.
LG 42LS5700 -- It was Good while it Lasted
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,200243.0.html (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,200243.0.html)
We purchased Sony 48R552C for P33,000 this weekend at Saver's Appliance. We compared with Sony 50W800B side-by-side and the wife could barely see the difference in PQ. Since sila naman talaga ang gagamit ng TV, we went with the cheaper model.
Some considerations: Motionflow does not matter to us because we use a dedicated HTPC with SplashPro player for playing HD movies. We also do not need Smart features and 3D. (The LG 42LS5700 is a Smart TV but we never ever used its Smart features.)
Tested for dead pixels in the store and found none. Tested for abnormal backlight bleed around the frame and found none. Tested playing 1080p movies via external HDD and worked fine.
Only problem with Sony TV is DTS audio. There was no sound when I played a movie with DTS audio. No biggie, will be connecting to Marantz receiver to remedy this.
Sony 50W800B (2014)
- Smart LED TV + 3D
- 120Hz panel, Motionflow XR 480Hz
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- P44,500 cash / Sony SRP: P55,599 (19.96% OFF)
- P890 per diagonal inch
Sony 48R552C (2015)
- LED TV with YouTube
- 60Hz panel, Motionflow XR 100Hz
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- P33,000 cash / Sony SRP: P41,199 (19.90% OFF)
- P687.50 per diagonal inch
One advantage of Sony 48R552C is that it is VESA mount compliant. I was able to install it immediately to my full motion, cantilever wall mount bracket. In contrast, Sony 50W800B would need special bracket or longer bolts/spacers, unless you use the TV stand.
Other thoughts: The Sony 50W800B is actually a good deal if you are looking for Smart and 3D. Some online sellers are still selling this at P49k+ though so be aware.

I have been using a Sony 50W800B for the past 6 months. It is currently mounted on the wall using the tv stand/wall bracket that came with it. I want to change the mounting to use a cantilever wall mount.. Anybody know where I can get the special bracket needed to make this model VESA mount compliant?

I have seen some in the SM Appliance store at Megamall. Angle adjustable mounts.

Hi guys,
I just bought my Sony Bravia 40R352C (17K from Lazada) and would want to hear suggestions for picture and sound settings for home TV viewing (including movies). I have Sky Cable Dual Def (with HD Channels) attached to it.
I appreciate your help on this.
Thank you!

Hi,
Im one of the owners of 49x8500b. Never really notice any backlight bleeding. Love the color of that unit. I wish i was able to get a bigger size of the same model. Bought this last year in western in fairview terraces for 47k then.
-

-
