spaceman - thanks for posting the pics sir. it isn't that bad naman based on the 2 pics. is your tv calibrated already btw or still factory settings? thanks!

I only used the picture wizard built onto the tv itself. But I reset the settings before i took the photos. So this is with standard mode.

Hi Guys,

Went to Anson's in Ortigas across podium. Was deciding between the LG 32LE5500 and the Samsung UA32C4000. Medyo nagulat ako sa price ng LG, 25k for full cash. 26,700 for 6 months to pay, and 28,500 for 12 months to pay. May masmumura pa ba dito? Gulat lang ako since I'm thinking that Anson's is normally masmahal. By the way, they listed it at 32k and I just inquired about the discount. Whatcha think? Planning to get one over the weekend.

I think LG is clearing stocks to make room for the coming new models. Newegg just hacked $900 off the price of the 47-inch model. The retails stores are slowly doing the same.

mas mura pa sa SnS sir. PM sir Vic, I got a quote from him for the 32 LE5500. Baka magulat ka lalo sa presyo ng straight cash

meron ba kayong isf settings dyan? share niyo naman if you're using the isf picture mode. as of now vivid yung setting ko. may picture setting ba kayo sa tv and hdmi input?

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #67 on:** Feb 23, 2011 at 12:19 AM »

I think color, brightness and contrast are really up to your own preferences. Try using the picture wizard. It will save your preferences in the ISF Expert modes. Tapos run the wizard in both bright and dim settings para may Day mode and Night mode ka based on your preference.

joko11 · « **Reply #68 on:** Feb 23, 2011 at 05:15 AM »

there are lots of picture settings you can find at the internet.i use expert mode base on cnet.but sometimes i found it more pleasing in the eye the factory setting or default of the unit itself.
IMHO

check this out, settings for a 55le5500, but it should be almost the same for the smaller 32 and 47 versions - http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtvreviews/lg-47le8500-calibration.html

may or may not work for you but it wouldn't harm to try the settings. i believe that all tvs still need to be calibrated to each unique environment, what would probably work for my setting (as an example), probably wouldn't work for another person's viewing environment and vice versa. no harm in trying it out though, let us know how it works out for you

mine should arrive in the next few days... what did you want to find out about it?

i considered trying to get something else (in the hopes that a 3rd party usb wi-fi controller would work), but i figured "why risk it?".

ganda ng PQ ng led tv na LG,nalilito tuloy ako kung ito bilihin ko or 40-42 and up
i have 32LGlf20 lcd tv kya i want bigger size
pero itong 32le5500 kakatuksong bilhin

van · « **Reply #73 on:** Feb 24, 2011 at 07:40 AM »

is this real ? 25k straight cash sa anson, then cheaper pa sa SnS. 23K??? can anyone confirm this. Its a good deal.

@AC
what do you want to find out with dongle. Im using the LG dongle @900peso add on. Its good on youtube, parang lahat ng video i watch malilinaw you cant change the settings ng youtube unlike sa PC you have reso selection.

how to check the firmware ng Le5500? and may update na ba or anyone has updated their fw already?.

thanks.

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #74 on:** Feb 24, 2011 at 12:47 PM »

I updated mine as soon as I brought it home last Feb 20. And it updated. So I guess the units out there don't have the latest one installed. The way to do it is easy. All you need is a USB flash drive and the latest firmware. the TV itself will check if the firmware on your drive is more new.

An easier way would be to do it via the LAN port. I think it check by itself via the Internet connection.

sir van.. ang gusto ko po kasi is video streaming from my pc to tv.. thru wifi.. was wondering if that is possible.. kayalang.. i dont have a dongle.. kaya.. im wondering if pwede na cdrking.. hehehe

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 24, 2011 at 11:36 PM »

AC, I am hoping it does that too. Mura lang pala dyan @900. I paid twice as much for mine.

LG's wifi feature requires the proprietary LG wifi dongle. It wont work with dongles sold at CDRKing.

AC · « **Reply #78 on:** Feb 25, 2011 at 07:36 AM »

didnt see your earlier post sir stiff.. yours came from us?

sir dolm.. nagbabakasakali lang.. hehe dami ko kasing extra dongles and ayaw ko na bumilii..

van · « **Reply #79 on:** Feb 25, 2011 at 07:50 AM »

@ac
may extra dongle ka? why not try it wont make any harm on your LG.
yup you can stream files from your pc as long as the files are supported, this is DLNA,
it's simple as sharing a file from your PC and you can browse na yung mga files from your TV and play it.
ADHOC connection on wifi.

@space
what is your latest FW? kindly go to option and press the red button.
mine says no new firmware. i only have 3.0.2 as i remember.

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #80 on:** Feb 25, 2011 at 12:00 PM »

@van. I posted the software version I got from the US LG website a couple of posts ago. It is V08.02.16. It added some more items to the netcast (i.e VuDu and MLBtv). I will check when I get home the exact version. I dont think it shows eh. The manual does not recommend updating software via wi-fi and my router is too far from where the TV is located. Not really keen on moving a 47" just to update the software.

@AC. Yup. From US. I should get my hands on it tomorrow.

I already have my place set up for DLNA over the WiFi. Currently my PS3, LG BD570 and computers are all hooked up to it. I got a 1.5tb NAS attached that streams all the files to these devices. And soon, I hope my TV will do the same.

AC · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 25, 2011 at 12:16 PM »

i will try it sir van.. hehe.. kayalang wala pa sakin tv ko.. excited din lang:D mangagaling din us.. will arrive early march.. hehe

sir spiff... i will have to ask you guys about adhoc dlna etc etc din soon.. hehe wala akong alam sa mga yan...

hehe

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #82 on:** Feb 25, 2011 at 12:20 PM »

Which model did you get? I sooooo wanted the 55" pero wala sa budget eh. Heh heh. Whatever it is, I'm sure you will like it.

You'd be surprised. If the dongle (CD-R King or otherwise) has the same chipset as the "proprietary LG wifi dongle" the tv will recognize it.

LG doesn't manufacture wifi cards so it is highly possible that they just rebadge OEM stocks, which share the same chipsets as many USB dongles available commercially.

sir spiff..
i ordered 55LX6500 po... very excited.. sana dumating with no problems...
