Paradigm quoted is a bookshelf one, but I think tamang-tama ito para sa 25 to 30 sq mtrs.

SM58 is P6100. We can ship the unit thru DHL. The cost will be about P700.

Sir Vic,

I'm planning to visit your store this coming Sunday afternoon to compare the picture quality and features of the TV's i'm eyeing.  I'm targetting to buy a 37-inch LCD TV primarily for TV viewing, and connection to HTPC and game console.  Please let me know if who to look for in case you're not around ... I'll be acquiring the unit early next month.

Thanks

Thanks for finally planning to visit us.

Please look for Hazel, Jun, or Paul for assistance. Mabait sila. They will be very pleased to accommodate you. In case you cannot find personnel available (sometimes, talagang puno ng customers), drop me a note at my mobile 09175413491. I will personally call up the shop to give you special attention.

I went to Sights and Sounds today to purchase a 32"/37" LCD with a native resolution of 1366x768. My budget was budget 32K for a 32" and 40K for a 37" LCD. I'll be connecting the LCD to my desktop computer for the following purposes: 50% movies, 20% gaming, 30% browsing.  I brought my PC loaded with ripped BluRay and HD-DVD titles (720p/1080p).

I was planning on getting the Panasonic TX32LX77 since its the cheapest 32" LCD and with lots of good feedback and reviews from PinoyDVD members.

Here are the units that I auditioned (All in default settings):
1. Panasonic 32LX77 - 32"  - I was very disappointed with this unit because the texts were blurred, almost unreadable.  It looks to me that its native resolution is lower than 1366x768.  I also don't like the picture quality because its too dark.  I think this is not recommended for HTPC use. Tweaking the LCD settings did not help.
2. Panasonic 37LX75 - 37"  - I was very disappointed with this unit because the texts were blurred, almost unreadable.  It looks to me that its native resolution is lower than 1366x768.  I also don't like the picture quality because its too dark. I think this is not recommended for HTPC use.  Tweaking the LCD settings did not help.
3. Sharp 37AX5M - 37"  -  Text was fine. Dull colors.  Poor contrast. Pixels looks obvious. Black text doesn't appear as black as it should be. A straight line would appear dotted line.
4. Samsung LA32R81B - 32" - My computer detected this LCD but was not able to display anything on the LCD. 
5. Hitachi LA37S01 - S-IPS Panel which made it 10-12K more expensive than the other 37" LCDs.  Accurate/vivid colors. Texts were excellent.
6. Toshiba 37C3500 - Accurate/vivid colors. Excellent brightness/contrast. Texts were excellent.

So my choices were narrowed down to:
1. Hitachi LA37S01 - 37"  and its 32" version
2. Toshiba 37C3500 - 37"

Both displayed excellent picture quality, however, it looks like Hitachi uses a hard display panel, somehow glossy, which makes the pictures appear vivid.  I think the Toshiba 37C3500 can achieve this effect by adding a custom Acrylic Screen Protector courtesy of Cham_E_Lyon and Tantric of TipidPC.

I was about to purchase the 32" Hitachi but then I noticed that its picture quality changes when viewed from a different angle, 30-deg or more (vertical/horizontal) from the center of the screen. Same with the Hitachi LA37S01, the picture looked different, it appeared washed out.  The Toshiba, Panasonic and Sharp do not have this problem.

So, after 3 hours of auditioning the LCDs, I ended up buying the Toshiba 37C3500 which will be delivered on Monday. Oh! Another PinoyDVD member was there, I forgot his ID, also auditioned these LCDs which were connected to a BluRay player. He bought also the Toshiba 37C3500.

Thanks to Sights and Sounds, the very accommodating staff, and to Mr.Vic who never get tired of responding to my never ending SMS inquiries.  Glad to meet you personally at your shop today sir. I won't hesitate to recommend your shop to my friends and do business with you again. More power!

This is really a very comprehensive review. A comparative, honest to goodness, critical observation of which TVs really shine both for movie and PC. Of course, there are plenty of good 32 to 37" TVs out there in the market, but there is one thing everyone is aiming: how little money should he pay for a quality set.

Good work for a nice review. And by the way, thank you for buying TV from us.

Sir Vic,

I visited your store earlier, unfortunately there were a lot of people shopping and I was not able to get in touch with your staff.  I was able to observe the picture quality of the different TV brands/models that I'm eyeing anyway while the other buyers were auditioning.

I've narrowed down my selection to the following - Toshiba 37C3500 and Samsung 37-inch series 4.  Please give me an offer that I cannot refuse on the said models    ... I was also able to observe the famous Pana PV4270 - it would be my last choice among the three models, not because of the quality, but because of my intended usage (not so much movies, but more on - TV viewing, PC connection, and game console) - Pa-PM na rin ng best price for this model.

Please PM the cash price and card price @ 6 months to pay with PhP 20k downpayment.  Please also PM me the price with an upscaling DVD player.

Thank you.

Mr. Vic, what's the cheapest multi-region upscaling DVD player that you have w/c can also play DivX and photos from a USB drive? I have a cheapo Orange-brand DVD player, but it's only able to upscale a few DVDs to 720p/1080i.
