if the prices of the flagship Plasma models of Samsung are considerably cheaper than their LED range, that could be the way to go if planning for an upgrade this year ... i would think that the Panasonic would have a more premium price ... wait and see muna ... hopefully towards the end of this year, heavily discounted na

Ayos lang ang presyo ng mga Samsung flagship plasmas, not too expensive.

In 3 years, my next plasma will be a Samsung flagship 60. Ang baba kasi nila mag presyo, no need to wait for price drops on obsolete models.

Unbeatable na talaga ang Koreans ngayon.

you are right sir barrister their flagship plasma is not to expensive and would love to have a 64inch. f8500 hehe..

Macmon · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 22, 2013 at 10:11 PM »

Nice sneek peaks.... from 32 now 51... next is 60 or 70 incher for my next tv. hehehe

skooter · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 22, 2013 at 10:50 PM »

magkano kaya ang 64 incher series 8(E) plasma 2012? kasi with that info i guess we could estimate how much is the 64F8500. i like the 64 inch becoz as they say lalo gumanda ang blacks pag malaki ang screen.

barrister · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 23, 2013 at 12:59 PM »

Estimate ko around P160K for the 2013 64F8500.

if they can get rid of those features that has nothing to do about picture quality maybe tv could be less than 160k but hey everything should be connected to the grid nowadays, i'm just saying hehehe..

Marketing strategy talaga yon sir.

Gusto nila may incentive para gumastos ka ng mas malaki. Kung cheap lang ang gusto mo, bigyan ka nila ng less features, pero low-end panel. Kung gusto mo ng high-end panel, kailangan higher-end model para better panel, pero mapipilitan kang bayaran din ang features na hindi mo naman kailangan.

Kahit sa ibang items ganon din. Gusto ko high-power, high-current 5.1 AV Receiver. Pero ang 5.1 AVR, puro low-powered. Napipilitan akong bumili ng higher-powered 7.1 AVR, kahit useless sa akin ang extra 2 channels. So napuwersa nila akong gumastos sa hindi ko kailangan na feature. Ganon talaga ang marketing e.

Pero mura pa rin ang P160K kung 64 inch flagship model for 2013.

Ang Panny, may nakita akong 60UT50 sa Listening in Style. Price: P160K. Low-end 2012 1080p model lang nila yon, 3 series lower than their flagship series (Panny 2012 models are VT50, GT50, ST50 and UT50), and 60 inch panel lang.

Prices are OK for the low-end 720p plasmas.

- They have the low-end 720p 42X50, 50X50 and 50XT50. But I didn't want them because they're terrible TVs.
- I wanted a 50UT50. Panny Phils. doesn't have it. But they do have a 60UT50, overpriced at P160K (US List price is only $1,799.99 [P73,133.49]).
- I wanted a 50ST50. Panny Phils. doesn't have it. But they do have a 65ST50. 65 is too big for me, and it's overpriced at around P230K+ (US List price is only $2,999.95 [P121,887.78]).

In other words, Panny Phils. doesn't have the TVs I want, but has the TVs I don't want.

===================================

Compare with Samsung Phils.

2012 51E550: US list price is $1,199.99 (P48,755.52). Local price is now around P48K+.

Not bad at all.

I'm looking forward to the availability of the Samsung 51F8500 later this year.

as for Panasonic, di na ako aasa na maging available ang mid to high-end models ng plasma nila.

maxine2 · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 05, 2013 at 12:44 AM »

Hope the new models roll in so the older ones can go on sale

Dapat LED TV upgrade pero ganda ng prices ng plasma 50 inchers. I like their black levels to boot.

It's almost the middle of March and there is yet no real news in Tokyo as regards 2013 Plasma models. Even the latest Mar-Apr 2013 catalogue still shows the 5/50 series of 2012. The only confirmed new model is that of DT60 which is an LED HDTV with sleek and slim glass & metal design.

Nothing interesting to check out at the Panasonic display areas at the moment.

bro ano ba ang usual time of year nagkakaroon/naglalabas ng bagong models?

Clondalkin · « **Reply #52 on:** Mar 08, 2013 at 08:32 AM »

Announced in January-February, actually available in store by March. I bought my last 2 plasmas both in March nung bagong bagong luto pa sila. Every year ganon ang Panasonic Plasma ever since I became interested in it. So this year is really odd - (bad) signs of the times.

Compare the wattages of Plasma, LED, LCD's. Lakas sa kuryente Plasmas.

DTNS · « **Reply #54 on:** Mar 12, 2013 at 09:54 PM »

I got to see a Samsung 51E450 on display at Glorietta 1 earlier. for some reason, it "wowed" me more than the Samsung LED tvs.

Alam naman ng mga plasma owners na mas malakas sa kuryente ang plasma.

Pero ayaw pa rin nila ng LCD/LED.

ika-nga ni Clondalkin, isang happy meal lang sa mcdo ang real world additional cost sa bill

btw bro 2014 ba or 2015 ang target year for upgrade mo sa samsung mo?

DTNS · « **Reply #58 on:** Mar 14, 2013 at 06:34 AM »

mukhang mapapa-plasma ako this year. out of reach masyado ang gusto kong Full HD 3D projector (Pana AE7k/8K) at di available ang gusto kong Full HD projector (Pana AR100).

Clondalkin · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 14, 2013 at 08:29 AM »

First quarter of 2013 is almost finished hence, the VT50 and/or ST50 should be arriving in the Philippines in the next 2-3 quarters?

.

What's new sa Samsung Plasmas? I know they are building huge facilities for LED manufacturing in China right now, and they bought 3% of Sharp - but that's also LED.
