[Philander]

Tnx verbl,

Nakabili na kasi ako nitong tv last month p.  Pangit kasi yung pinapatungan ngaun, gusto ko sana yung tulad nito
http://www.cdrking.com/?mod=products&type=view&sid=8798&main=30.
Kung may nakapagtry na sa inyo. tnx.

kaya yan. max loading of 55kg.

Mas mabigat pa nga yung Panasonic 42X30 na plasma kaysa sa 51F5000

looks ok sir, 55kg nakalagay na capacity ... 22kg lang tv natin ... paki-post sir ng pics pag na-install na, i'm also interested just not sure kasi kung di matatakpan ng center speaker ko yung portions ng tv pag nakapatong yung speaker sa taas, medyo malaki kasi yung center speaker ... TIA

[aRTie]

all..

would anyone know if may difference and panel nito with F5500?

i was auditioning both yesterday sa ATC and it seems that mas reflective yung F5000
parang pareho lang naman yung lighting condition sa shops na natingnan ko, although magkaiba kasi yung pini-play kaya di ko ma-assess masyado

i actually don't need the 3d and smart features pero if F5500 offers a less reflective screen kahit konti, i'd be willing to get that. living room kasi yung pag lalagyan ng tv.. mejo maliwanag

[skooter]

F5500 has a real black panel thus it reproduced better blacks as long the F5500 is keep in a control light enviroment. if i were you i'll get the F5500 it's an award winning plasma and you can't go wrong with it.

Pareho lang ang reflectivity ng F5500 and F5000 sir.
 
Higher-end ang panel ng F5500 pero reflective exterior din.

[chatstix]

How much for the F5500? Tia.

[aRTie]

@skooter

thanks for the input!

@barrister

must be the demo video they are playing that made the F5500 seems less reflective. thanks for that info sir

@chatstix

Php 53400 sir for the F5500.. that is with free HT which the seller agreed to buy for 6k after redemption
so its about 16k more expensive than F5000, what you'll get for that amount are the following:

Smart functionality (dual core Procie)
3D functionality with 2 pcs 3D glasses
Wireless keyboard
Skype Camera
Slightly better looking Bezel (subjective - it has fiber glass border)
Real Black panel (according o Skooter)

Salamat sir disturbed!

weird that yung F500 may Super Contrast panel while yung F5500 wala

anyway, found this as well

http://www.rtings.com/reviews/tv/plasma/samsung/f5300

it seems that F5500 do perform a little bit better on bright rooms. pero the figures are negligible

[kulapooot]

Planning to buy this 51 inch tv for my room. issue ko lang baka masyado malake para sa kwarto ko. gaano ba dapat kalayo sa 51 inch na tv? Yung minimum recommended sitting distance from tv? Thanka

[disturbed]

sir, do you have a picture with the tv ... yung height kasi ng center speaker ko is quite high, worried that it will cover some part of the tv ... thanks

I don't have a picture but just to give you an idea, my center speaker's height is almost 8" and the lower part of the TV is also a little bit more than 8" kaya sakto lang yung Speaker below the TV

been torn between this unit and Toshiba 50 L2300 LED.     31k cash  vs  36k cash.     TV location will be on a bright living room and considering price difference wise vs power consumption economy.   hoping to keep it for 5 years or longer  unless maging affordable mga OLED TVs in the near future.   

your thoughts? what would you do if you were me?

36k for a 50-inch LED TV looks to be a good bargain ... is it Full HD?

[ehmarzo]

  yes bro, full HD.   problem ko lang wala masyado reviews available for this Toshiba 50L2300 LED TV.  was 40k before pero price drop to 36k.

[noah727]

Anyone still selling their bundled 28F4100? Pls PM me. Thanks.

[ryhen]

Any problems with audio sync when playing movies via USB ?  I have some movies having this issue while the rest are not.  Surprisingly, mas mataas pa bit rate at file size nung mga nag pla-play ng maayos kaysa dun sa nag kakaroon ng audio-sync issues.  Kinda weird.

[oyie_delapaz]

Go LED bro, i don't think you will enjoy plasma in a bright living room

Mga sirs, paano po ba pag test ng unit sa store?  I'll be bringing my laptop to test.

1. White screen/blue screen to test and look for dead pixels.
2. How to check the color band? (If applicable)
3. How to check the "on" hours of the unit?

Will be getting probably tomorrow. :-) Thanks
