I haven't been there lately, but I doubt if there are already HDTVs there.  There were RPTVs last time I was there.  But they're all made before 2004 so they're not strictly HDTVs with the required HCDP compliant HDMI or DVI terminals.  Maybe CRT-based HDTV-ready sets but without HDMI.  But plasmas and LCDs,I have my doubts.  Even if they were stlll working when they left Japanese junkyards, I doubt if they'd survive the transit.   These flat panel displays demand proper packaging to protect their fragile display elements from being easily damaged in transit.  And if i go by the packaging of "importers" of Japanese junk to the pier, such precautions do not exists. A dead plasma or LCD would require more skill to rehabilitate than most skilled techies at the pier can do.  And a partly dead plasma or LCD with dead pixel elements would not only be unsightly, but would be uninteresting for viewing purposes that no one would buy for even a hundred pesos.    I don't know of any local makeshift  technology that can restore a plasma or lcd with dead pixels. Then again, never underestimate Pinoy ingenuity.

Ayy! Sayang naman! Just when I thought now is the time for us to own surplus PLASMA and LCD TVs when Japan start dumping them now that production of CRTs is discontinued. If they buy it now then in 3 to 5 years time surplus LCDs and PLASMA will be coming in. Pag sira sira na sa transit pa lang, mahirap na bumili. But knowing Filipinos mahilig sumugal, we can still take the risk. Tsambahan na lang! By that time cguro marunong na yung mga techies natin sa PIER for repairing LCDs and PLASMAs, kung pwede pa!
