congrats!

im using Ixos component video cables. its not as expensive as Monster cables. i did a PQ comparison between these 2 cables, i didnt find any significant difference between them. budget ko kasi sa cables up to 10% lang of the cost of my tv. yung monster cable mahigit sa 10% ang cost, so i settled for the Ixos.

espi · « **Reply #32 on:** Mar 23, 2006 at 11:46 PM »

thanks!

aok, so no difference with the supplied cables from your Ixos compo cables ha?

have you tried your unit on an hdmi connection? gusto ko sana i maximize yung capability nung tv.hehehe

apple_seed · « **Reply #33 on:** Mar 24, 2006 at 12:05 PM »

actually, i saw an improvement in the PQ when I used the Ixos. it could be psychological

kasi my gf couldnt see the difference when i asked her opinion

. anyway, i got a huge discount for the tv so i had an extra amount of cash to spend for the cables. besides, i didnt use standard cables for my audio interconnects, kaya binilan ko na rin yung tv ng sarili nyang cables..para di naman sya mukhang kawawa hehehe

i suggest you borrow the cables from a friend & try it out on your tv. if you find that there's an improvement, then you can get one. if not, then i guess the standard cables would do fine.

nope, i havent tried the HDMI connections yet...hopefully magkaroon na ng HD broadcasts soon.

i see. i saw from the other thread that pioneer's entry level players which will be released this june will have hdmi.hihintayin ko na lang yun..haha!

btw, how much did you get your unit? kahit pm na lang sir. i got a great deal din kasi. just wanna know baka na sales talk lang ako.hahaha.

i noticed that this thread is for 42pf7320, the plasma type, tayo lang nagpuno ng posts dito eh lcd naman pala yung satin.hahaha!

apple_seed · « **Reply #35 on:** Mar 27, 2006 at 11:09 AM »

7320-series din naman ang usapan, so i guess pwede na din gamitin itong thread na ito. hehehe

kaya cguro sina-sale na yung mga pioneer dvd players. if i remember correctly, yung non-karaoke, divx-capable model is selling for about P4200 na lang. ang philips nag-labas din ng bagong dvd player line-up. i have yet to see whether HDMI na sila. hopefully by this week the units will arrive so i can take a closer look

bro,

what is your display settings on your unit? did you achieve the deepest blacks?

this is my setting:

brightness - 56
color - 43
contrast - 70
hue - 0
sharpness - 0
color temp - normal

let me know your settings din.

alam mo ba service menu nitong unit natin?

apple_seed · « **Reply #37 on:** Mar 28, 2006 at 02:18 PM »

contrast - 75
brightness - 45
color - 45
sharpness - 3
color temp - normal
active control w/ sensor - on

customer service menu (CSM) is displayed by pressing 1-2-3-6-5-4 on your remote. just power-off & power-on the tv to remove the CSM. the 1st line of the CSM will display the firmware version of the tv. mine is LC4XAP1.

espi · « **Reply #38 on:** Mar 28, 2006 at 02:53 PM »

di ba mashado madilim ang 45 na brightness sir? may binago ka ba sa service menu?

apple_seed · « **Reply #39 on:** Mar 28, 2006 at 05:35 PM »

oops, di pala 45, 65 sya

espi · « **Reply #40 on:** Mar 28, 2006 at 11:31 PM »

wow! ang taas naman! hahaha!

have you checked tried achieveng the deepest blacks? alam ko sa lcd ito yung downside, but yung mga latest developments daw kaya na nyang habulin ang black ng dlps.

yung CSM di natin pwede ma tweak?

same lang tayo ng firmware sir!

apple_seed · « **Reply #41 on:** Mar 29, 2006 at 05:14 PM »

nope i havent. di naman ako masyadong particular sa mga black levels. para sa akin, pag clearly visibile at distinguishable yung mga dark colors, oks na para sa akin.

nope, di mo pwede ma-tweak yung mga items sa CSM. what you need is the service default menu (SDM). pero i wouldnt recommend tweaking anything. if the tv doesnt accept the setting you provided, it may go into protection mode, then di mo na mai-on yung tv mo. kelangan mo na dalin sa philips para mapa-reset

Anybody have any experiences with this model or any other philips plasma television.....I might be able to get this on 24 months 0% interest...so seriously considering it....looks nice based on the internet pics and specs....

Recently got this 42" plasma. Ok naman yung picture quality especially when my kids watch cartoons from nickelodeon. Ganda ng colors.

Pero I think iba pa rin talaga yung experience when watching thru a projector. For me the wow factor in the plasma is more on the unit itself, as in maganda siya tignan sa bahay kahit nakapatay. Pero yung projector, the wow factor is in the size and picture quality of the movie. Given an option between a plasma and a pj, I'll go for the pj anytime.

Here's a pic of the 7320. Don't have time yet to fix the wires.

Sir... this model is EDTV right? VGA pa ang resolition and not HD? Does it have HDMI? Thanks

barrister · « **Reply #47 on:** May 23, 2006 at 03:38 PM »

Korek sa EDTV, sir.

Meron HDMI, pero sa tingin ko, Enhanced Definition lang, hindi HD.

Pasensya ka na, sir. Ang hirap kasi kausap ng salesman. Masisira ulo mo.

Sabi niya, both the LG and the Philips are HD capable. Sabi ko, may demo ka ba ng HD-DVD? Next month pa daw, Philips player ang dadating. HD? Oo daw. Magkano? P6K daw ang player.

Ayoko na mag-explain sa salesman. Nakakapagod kasi e.

But it's still way too expensive.

Philips 42PF7320A 42" Plasma HDTV on amazon.com is only P99,706.42 when converted to Phil. Pesos. Sa atin, P167K, hindi pa HD.

sirs,

have you experienced a greenish hue on your tv specially on dark scenes? ganun kasi yung nangyari sa tv ko. any suggestions?

bro...is this greenhish-hue consistent on all inputs (tv or dvd or game console)? baka mawala sa konting timpla ng sharpness, color, hue, etc adjustments. or maybe it could be due to the lighting condition in your living room/bed room. if in doubt, bring it to the service center para sure...tutal under warranty pa naman yang unit mo.

I think green hues on dark scenes is not a defect of the television more a weakness of the LCD technology? Not sure you can check the net for more details on this one...
