Topic: SAMSUNG/SONY March LCD GROUP BUY!!

[espi]

the earlier model. 32pf7320...i think mahirap sya talga compare sa shops kasi they are using hd demos eh...

pero agree ako na philips have better cable tv signals over the other.

nagustuhan ko kasi depth ng philips coz of the pixel plus tech.

but then again...there are new lines...new techs....and im looking for an upgrade.

i am the type of person na di nakukukunteto e...i want the best lagi...so baka mali yung person na inask mo...


hahaha!

hope this helps!

Meron bang nasa 40k lang ang price? Kahit 26" below? Hindi yung cash price ah. Balak ko kasi bumili sa Glorietta kasi may BPI Madness dun. Kaso nasa 40k lang ata kaya sa CC ng mom ko since marami pa iba bayarin.

Try checking with Bpi madness counter there. Kasi they usually triple your limit on these madness.

Triple na ng limit yung 40k. Hehe. Well, I guess I have to wait some more.

Hey guys! I just got my LCD (R71b) today(got it around 1pm). Meant to say some feedback sooner but I had classes till 6. Yes, I still go to school, when i got home, couldn't post still, coz brother was playing Flyff(on my computer). I spent a few hours with the TV and I'm actually pretty happy with it, although I still kinda wish it was a N71 but I don't regret what I decided.

About the LCD, this definitely beats my old 32-inch widescreen CRT TV, it was a Sony DRX9 which I got from the pier around 6 months ago (which I'm now trying to get rid of, but has served me well).

Some things I tried with it were:
-hook it up to my PS2 w/ component cables and watched some original dvds on it, ones i tried were Advent Children, which looked awesome and South Park Season 8 (this was a gift from my older brother and i was saving it so i could use it on this TV, wasn't really to test it)
-tried to hook it up to my laptop but realized I got the wrong VGA cables..
-played with the options a bit and checked out video settings and stuff

Some things that I should be trying out on the TV but couldn't:
-I wanted to hook it up to my 360, but its broken coz of 3rl
-my Wii hasn't arrived yet so..couldn't try that either, got the cables though
-don't have a home theater yet...

I still haven't thought of a pros/cons list yet...

About cable broadcast, I can't quote on that, we don't have cable and I planned on using this TV solely for videogames, watching movies/anime and using it as a secondary monitor.

Rating: 7.5/10 - might change, since like I said, I haven't fully tested it out yet.

If you're wondering how a guy like me could get something like this, well, it's a gift from my mom (she's the best) coz it's my birthday on Saturday .

[prick27]

ryuzaki how much did u get it and where did u buy?

happy bday bro!! and congrats on your purchase! hmmm... still thinking if i shld get the R71 as well.


prick27,
ryuzaki is part of the group buy (see 1st post). he got it from Saver's.

[staind01]

here's my take:

performance/PQ: V200

prestige/brandname recognition: V200 (sony is still considered topdog in the phils. & most part of the world, hence the high price... but we net denizens don't believe in brandnames, right? )

resale value: V200

features: N71 (has wiselink and 2 HDMI vs 1)

price: N71

looks: N71


is the V200's PQ/etc. worth P10K+ over the N71? that's up to the buyer and his wallet.

well guess what? i bit the bullet and got the V200 even if my wallet says otherwise!!!   

couldn't wait for the N71 stocks to come in e. la pang advise from samsung korea! 

and i guess the better PQ (per my eyes) got the best of me.

[espi]

that's great!

how much did you get the v200 sir?

[staind01]

and yet another groupie bit the bullet!  let's wait for his post na lang.

Are we talking about jipi or Allen?  Am I the only one who has yet to make a decision?  Haha.  At least I got my money back already.  Tough thing is, I have to decide for 3 people.

sir, binalik nyo?  no stocks?

[dips15]

sir, binalik nyo?  no stocks?

No stocks.  I didn't know what to get until the day I made a purchase.  Now since there are no stocks except for the appliance stores which do not give enough discounts, I have to go back and chose what model to get... again. 

I'm just hoping that the running out of stock situation is a blessing. 

[techdude]

Who knows, maybe the prices will drop some more. but given that they are running out of stock, might mean prices might be bottoming out for awhile...  hope I am wrong though.

[jipi]

well its bye bye n71 for me. I chose philips 32pf7321 instead

It will be delivered to me tom

how much did you get the philips 32pf7321 model sir? thanks!

[allenwfc]

for those still wondering, im in process of moving from my condo to cainta.

so currently am busy + they havent given me prices for hitachi's i asked... assuming the hitachi prices suck... it will be a toss of between v200 and bordeaux... leaning on bordeaux  due to cost .. since cheaper easier to dispose.

may i ask, ilan talaga ang nakakuha ng unit sa agreed price?  doon sa for delivery, wala ng nakakuha? hindi kaya natunugan ng Samsung and na-sanction na ang retailer for selling below agreed ceiling? parang hindi kapanipaniwalang "no stock" when you see it in almost all stores.

as we've already stated, no stock talaga confirmed from Samsung.

ok, then, but can you answer the question, ilan talaga ang nakakuha, thanks

[staind01]

none of us did.   naubusan si samsung e. anson's galle still has 2 units left as of Tuesday but at a higher price. and so for just a li'l bit more, i got the V200 instead. i'll know later today if i've made the right decision once i've hooked it up.

[espi]

@staind01

ok bro...we'll wait for your post. i am also eyeing for the v200..

let us know din how does it perform on cable tv viewing

have you asked din also the outlet on how low can they give the v200 at 12 mos. interest? just an option tho.

[dips15]

To substantiate those doubters who do not believe na wala na talagang stock, both our first and second options, walang stock.  (Savers and Ambassador).  Anson's and Abenson's were offering theirs at big discounts as well.  As of last Tuesday, 2 stocks na lang sa warehouse nila.  Wala na raw sa Samsung Philippines. 

Allen called up Samsung directly and independent contacts within the company confirmed that wala na talagang stock ng N71. 

[foxez69]

Nadiscover nyo rin pala yung saver's hub malapit sa SM north. Grabe sila magbigay ng discount... Sana sa december meron pa ring group buy. hehehe.

[jipi]

how much did you get the philips 32pf7321 model sir? thanks!

got it for 65T cash and  I bargained for the philips 7" lcd dvd portable player instead of the HTiB freebie

I guess it did not really turn out to be a special discount just an ordinary one. but i think i have made a better choice. I will know later

[Funky_Monkey]

Just got a Samsung 32R71W.  OK talaga sa Savers.  Saver talaga

Mabuhay ka Allen

congrats!! nakuha mo na agad yung unit mo?

if yes, where's mine?!!! 

[R1DVD]

No more stock of N71?  Just paid for the downpayment at Anson's exhibit at Alabang Town Center this 7 p.m.  I was told they don't have stocks sa store today, but they still have 2 at the warehouse and they'll deliver tomorrow.

[Funky_Monkey]

Sir R71W yung binili ko, not N series.  Meron silang stock on hand.  I could even choose between Black or White.  White yung kinuha ko.  When I went this afternoon, they had a black one still there. 

Next up is DVD player with upscaler 720p and 1080i.  Ill put up another thread para di thread hijacking.

Yup the bigger stores have them on stock in their warehouses. 

[allenwfc]
