Calling all those who have bought Devant HD TVs
« on: Mar 01, 2013 at 01:47 PM »
Ok guys. I need help big time. My family and I are planning on buying the Devant 39" FULL HD LedTech LCD TV for a very reasonable price but I'm conflicted. I have been reading reviews of customers who have purchased Devant Tvs and most are quite negative. MOst users have reviewed that theirs broke after just a few months and that the Devant staff can't even fix it right while other reviews are positive saying theirs have lasted for 4 years so far with no complaints. But I just thought maybe those who are still satisfied with their Devant product are not sharing their review on it as much as those who are complaining about it. I mean that can be a reason right? I'm just calling everyone who'd really like to help out in deciding if Devant is good enough. I am edging on buying it because it's cheap compared to other LED tech Full HD brands but I am not going to jump just yet. I need ya'll to tell me your stories/reviews with your Devant's or from your friends who have it. I'd be much appreciated. Thank you! :)

My wife and I saw the devant 42" 3D LED TV (42wiz830)and we're amazed with its features so I was curious enough to check pinoydvd for a review. 

And there was none :D

Further searching for info, I've read that devant is just outsourcing Skyworth TVs and just rebranding it as their own.

There are no large brands with the same price as the Devant HD LedTech LCDTVs. I mean Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic are quite expensive while there's Devant which offers a cheaper price. Turns out, we bought a 42i and no complaints so far. We even bought a table mount for it because we couldn't put in on a wall as there was no right place. The only issue I have with it is the audio for downloaded movies. For cable viewing, audio is perfect but for some movies I reached the max volume and conversations aren't that clear. Although if downloaded movies have a 5.1ch then audio is perfect. Music is also great especially tracks with a heavy bass, the woofer just blows and you just wanna party  O0

I would say that not all TVs are created equal and that the branded TV are priced a bit higher for the reason that they are more reliable than the others. Accordingly, you pay extra for the peace of mind for buying the branded ones. Anyhow, even the branded ones have lemons too....

We have a devant 32" LCD tv at my parents' place. It still working, even if it is always on everyday, bought about 2 yrs ago. So far there have been no trouble whatsoever.

I guess it depends on the unit you get.

Save a bit by buying no name TVs but spend more when it break, or give you problems.

You get what you pay for.

I disagree.  Even in malls, you can find branded tv's of the same size with the same, or even less, price.

If you go to the recommended sellers here in pdvd, you will probably find a lot better value, better specs, better picture quality, and in some cases, bigger tv's.

What other big brands have the same price with the Devant HDTVs? Because the only big brands I am aware of are Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony and Sharp. And if I were to buy their 42i HDTVs, the price tag would really differ with Devant's 42i.  ^-^

I don't own a Devant.  However, if price is your only concern for choosing a Devant, well, try looking at the PDVD marketplace first.  As you can see from the previous post, they come close or lower than certain Devant models.  But how about features?  PQ and SQ are not the only things you should look at.

Features such as how many HDMI inputs (very important), RCA audio out (important to me), component and/or composite in, optical/digital out, headphone/earphone out, VGA input, HD Ready or Full 1080p HD, built-in digital tuner, etc.  These features serve as convenience and usability for the end-user.

I own a 42" DEVANT which we purchase at around 29K in SM Appliance center. It's one month of daily use and still OK. It decodes most of the video files I have.

im sorry pero.. yan din tingin ko sa devant
priced like branded...
style nila... they give extra commission to sales guy...(everytime naghahanap ako tv... dadalhin ako ng sales guy talaga sa devant.. ipupush devant kahit im looking for another brand)
in the end we still get a generic tv after paying full price..

generic tvs are fine.. bang for buck.. but dont pay branded price for them.. (even avision and prestiz na palagay ko very nice generic tvs... dont ask for branded price)

For that price the Toshiba model should be considered at the almost same size spec of 40 inch.
I have heard from a sales person that the wall mounting of Devant is sometimes not the standard size. Not sure if this is true but just like to share.

All i can say on Devant Brand TV is buy at your own risk…I bought a 50GL510 on the biggest mall in pasay last July 13,2013 – Saturday TBH i really like the PQ of this tv comes with the vivid motion is superb but last night monday after 3 days while watching movie a vertical line appears in the center it flickers so much it consumes the half part of the screen…i was so very very very disappointed it got broke easily…and im now worrying if the replacement of this item will last for a year or maybe weeks only…whats my assurance that the replacement i will get is lemon??? : (

Iniisip ko tuloy ipalit ko na lang ng ibang brand with same vivid motion(120hz) can anyone suggest na pwede ko ipalit price around 35k? Thanks

the LG LN57 series has been getting good feedback from consumers. may 120hz trumotion siya. yun nga lang 42" lang siguro makukuha mo at that price. mura talaga devant if price lang and laki ng screen ang titingnan

naku, hindi na nagpost si TS after seeing the prices.  research does pay off.

Sa mga nagrecommend salamats matagal ko din pinagisipan so hindi ko pinareplace ng ibang unit id still get the same model siguro yung nakuha ko is a defective unit kaya after 3 days bumigay na agad...so far the replacement i had receive is still doing its job well wala pa ako nakikitang problem like bleeding, lines etc. its open 8hrs to 15 hrs everyday. Its almost 2 months na itong Devant 50GL510 ko sana magtagal ng 2 years or more para makuha nya respect ko kahit papanu. Siguro i just give devant a chance kaya di ko pinareplace ng ibang brand.

May Hisense na din pala sa pinas at techpoint din ang nagdidistribute correct if im wrong.
I notice yung tv model ng Hisense 50K360G is same specs and bezel with Devant 50GL510 hindi kaya rebranded lang ang devant which is a Hisense tv?

Good Morning, im new to pdvd. where can i find those recommended sellers you are talking about in this qoute? coz i want to compare the price of samsung 60" LED TV Full HD versus devant's 55" LEDTECH TV Full HD. or to other brands as long as it is 55" to 60" screen size 1080p
