Is the pip feature similar to the older crt models which can show the output from the same input, for example, the main screen shows cable tv and the pip screen also shows cable tv? The LA32C550 can only show output from two different sources, so it cannot show cable tv in the pip screen while the main screen is showing cable tv.

We had a crt samsung tv which had this feature so we can watch gma and abs-cbn at the same time

Does the LA32D550 have this capability or if not, is there a way to make it output from the same source such that one can still watch gma and abs-cbn at the same time specially during news time!

There's no problem with your TV. Actually, I encountered the same problem at first. Reason is because you are in "Store demo mode". Solution to this is to change it to "Home" mode. Read the manual included in the package and follow instructions on how to change this setting. Good luck.

Thanks bro. Can't wait to look it up later at home.

Got one from SnS yesterday! Very nice, haven't explored all the features yet, but so far so good.

Thanks to the staff of SnS, kahit wala dun yung ka-deal ko na staff, the rest were willing to help.

Finally figured out how to change it to home mode. I'm really happy with this TV. It's really a good buy and i have peace of mind knowing that it came out of the box because its configuration is still on default. Thanks again Sir Vic for the TV. Next stop Onkyo hts3400

Can anybody here comment on the built-in media player of these lcd tvs. Is it much better if they were played using NMTs. I tried playing them on 32D550 (being displayed in a appliance fair), and I was surprised that Sony's 32BX320 built-in player was much better in terms of picture quality. Also 32BX320 can fast forward and reverse much faster.

I recently bought Sony 32BX320 when our living room TV a Sony 32" crt tv broke down. I'm also planning to buy another lcd tv, so I'm thinking about this Samsung 32" model, though I much prefer c550 because of av inputs at the side.

Thanks for the purchase.

You may wish to post some impressions of this TV. A short review, perhaps.

May stocks na ba nito sa SnS? Punta sana kami dun this weekend.

hope may available ng stock this weekend, really wanna get this 32" model.

cyrix · « **Reply #55 on:** Jun 13, 2011 at 02:20 PM »

Got the 32" model last Saturday at SnS, worth the wait! I just want to know if the media player can show the subtitle of the movie and how can I do that? Thanks.

alvinator · « **Reply #56 on:** Jun 13, 2011 at 05:29 PM »

LOL wut? I was there last saturday but there were no stocks yet for the 32inch model. Sigh, anyway we decided to get the Toshiba RV700E instead so far were quite happy with it.

Thanks for the purchase.

If the movie file is encoded with subtitle, the usb media player will display subtitle also.

Other than being aesthetically built, we wanted its built-in media player via USB. D550's PQ vs Tosh RV700E is pretty much the same with my eyes (my wife likes RV700 better).

For the Media Player situation, were pretty much okay hooking up my laptop via HDMI for now.
