Saw this unit at Abenson Sm North Edsa yesterday. I wanted to get it but it was waaaayyyy over my budget.

If i remember right, its price tag is 59,990.00.

I think it was a 32 incher.

So for those with the mulah to burn, looks like this is a good buy. Its digital, BTW so HD ready, equivalent na siya sa digital ng sony and pixel plus.

Where did you learn of these display solutions from?
Are these the same as the 13" depth CRTs that Samsung has announced they are "development"?
Or you're referring to another form of slim CRT display?

According to a published report the 13" depth CRTs (supposed to sell at or less than current wide screen CRTs)
should be available in 2007. Unsure of exact release date since the design is still in development stage at the time.

It is exciting to note, though, since CRTs require almost no maintenance compared to equivalent RPTV LCD, DLP & plasma solutions. And should have better picture quality.

I don't know kung ano yung nakita ni garfield3199.I saw some too.forgot the brand.Pero it's not really that slim like the ones produced from LG ang Samsung.

After years of losing out to LCDs and plasma displays, those bulky CRT televisions are staging a comeback courtesy of Samsung. The new 32-inch Vixlim digital TV they’re showing off is only 35 centimeters thick, about half that of regular CRTs, but’ll cost way less than an LCD or plasma TVs. The first Vixlim sets should start showing up around the end of next year

Yan ang inaabangan ko. 13" deep CRT displays from Samsung! Suwerte na natin kung darating yan dito late next year.
Pinakamabigat na panlaban ng mga yan, eh, less than 1/3, if I remember right, ang power consumption compared to regular 32" wide screen HDTVs. And according to Samsung themselves it doesn't cost much to retrofit a plant to mass produce those CRTS.

Ang sarap niyan pang DVD viewing without the hassle of LCD backlight, RPTV projection beam, plasma gas charge maintenance.
Pag iipunan ko na ngayon pa lang!!!

Binobola yata tayo ni garfield 3199.

Pumunta ako sa Abensons SM North EDSA early March 2005. Wala akong nakita. Tinanong ko ang mga salesmen - none of them knew what the hell I was talking about.

I don't think you'll ever remember the brand. LG Philips (The Korean-Dutch joint venture) and Samsung are the only SLIM CRT manufacturers.

Uhm... Samsung should do better than just 16".
My Sony AR292 is already only 20" deep, that's the external case dimension.
Of course my Sony isn't HDTV capable nor is it in wide screen format; then again it's still only 20" deep

hemisphere · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 25, 2005 at 01:57 PM »

i guess Samsung has the best package and features so far... im saving precious money as it would be available soon..

Samsung 32" Slimfit now on display at Greenhills. Retail Price: P79,995.00 pero disappointing ang performance.

dulber32 · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 14, 2005 at 10:40 PM »

Glorietta activity center had a TaeKwonDo event over the weekend and Samsung was a sponsor.
A 32" slim CRT was on display but the case was not as slim as I expected. It's almost as deep as my Sony.
I hope future developments can still make this concept better.

yah, saw this at Glorietta... di nga maganda picture quality... $:-\$ DVD na yung pinapakita, parang ang grainy pa rin,
nung tinanong ko, sabi nung taga Samsung, kasi daw analog daw connections nila, pag digital oks daw yan...
dunno how true, nung naglipat sila sa demo source ng samsung, medyo luminaw na... pero i doubt kung ganon kalinaw pag cable signal na ang source.... any other observations? at parang ang liit for a 32"er

Geometry problem is very obvious on widescreen (2.35:1) program content. The top of the program's letterbox frame is straight enough, but the bottom of the said frame is obviously curved.

Moreover, picture quality is awful.

Matagal kong inabangan ang slim CRT models para makita ko kung mas OK ito sa plasma. Ang impression ko kasi, murang-mura na ang CRT, superior pa ng picture; so, baka mas maganda ang Slimfit as against plasma units. Pero nang makita ko ang Slimfit, terible pala ang picture. Tapos, nakita ko yung LG 42" plasma - dramatically improved contrast and brightness. Talong-talo talaga ang Slimfit.

Given the difference in picture quality, plasma is really the way to go despite the colossal price difference. Pero hintay pa rin akong bumaba ang presyo.
