RPTV pros & cons?

**kimpOy** · September 26th, 2005 12:17 PM

you can get the toshiba 43" 4:3 RPTV for 70k, +5k gets you a 5.1 speaker and DVD player

medyo nagdadawalang isip pa ako sa LG na 16:9 pero ang toshiba ang unang tibok ng puso ko

maganda nga yung toshiba... at pinaka-mura pa.
pero kung letterboxed yung DVD's mo, the 16:9 format will give more viewable area (mas maliit yung black bars top and bottom)

this TV will exclusively use for DVD watching, so I don't have any problem with our local/cable channels, another consideration is maliit lang ang TV room namin which is around 3mx3m or 3.5mx3.5m lang, so by asking around most probably masyado ng malaki sa size ng room namin yun 43" and up, kaya nakita ko itong 32" ng samsung and wide screen pa siya parang mas ideal sa settings ko ito? meron naba sa ianyong meron experince sa samsung TV? tapos diba pag RPTV to get the full potential dapat meron minimum distance? suggest naman, I really want the biggest screen pero baka hinde rin pwede sa size ng room ko....

shadow,

we have a 57" RPTV for a few years now... la pa namang sira (except nung sinaksak ng maid yung 110V sa 220V outlet! mga 5-7K ang gastos namin para i repair)

go RPTV na!!! sulit yan kapag medyo dark yung room... then DVD! kapag Cable kasi medyo kita mo yung grains.

mazda2, ang sabi kasi sa akin every 3-4 yrs dapat daw pacalibratge mo yun mga lamps, tpos kapag nasira 5-8k per bulb? 3 bulbs so another 15k after 3 yrs, kaya medyo nagdadalawang isip ako sa RPTV, anong brand nga palka yun sa inyo?

AFAIK, plasma tv ang kelangan i refresh ang colors after several years (as per the info given to me by the techie at abenson)

Also an interesting note to those contemplating to buy RPTV, the energy consumption per hour of a 43" RPTV is less than a 29"CRT TV.
