samsung's Series 5 have very good specs... pero ang alam ko P59,900 yung 32" nila.

but the Series 6 have better specs (and higher price).

BTW if you buy a good tv, pagipunan mo na lang ang MATCHING home theater setup (samsung also have one that will match their series 5 or higher) kasi sayang lang kung so-so brand ang patulan mo... hindi mo mamaximize ang capability and features ng tv mo.

One thing to remember when buying an LCD flat panel is the resolution. Most LCD 23" and up offer at least 1280x720 native pixel resolution. This the minimum pixel count you should look for. Some LCD's listed as 1280x768, or 1368x768 and some of the much larger LCD now offer 1920x1080 native pixel resolution but this is way above your price range. Pero kung gusto mo ang best of the best, hey!, why not.

Samsung and Phillips are very good LCD'S. Philips offer Pixel plus 3 HD and the panel resolution is 1920x1080 one of the highest resolution in the market. Samsung innovation are reaching a new heights and believe it or not, one of the most best selling HDTV here in U.S. So either way sa gusto mo you cant get no mistake. Again, resolution is the KEY. Good luck in your new system.

I bought Samsung 32" together with the home theater package last December. I got the older model at Pso 48,000.00. The price is now down to Pso 44,000.00, but including the HDMI cable this time. Since I love to watch movies, this buy was perfect for me. The unit still does not have the best resolution that Samsung offers, but I'm already very satisfied with it. And besides, you won't notice the difference unless you put it side by side with newer models.

My kids loved watching their favorite cartoons on it such as Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo and Lion King.

Just got my 32"Philips last week from Avant in trinoma..49k less 10k pag cash so lumabas 39k plus add nalang ako ng 13k for the home theater..decided on getting the philips rather than samsung because na sales talk ako sa contrast ratio mas lamang ang philips(getting ready for PS3 with blue ray format nako)..latest daw un unit na yun as compared to their stocks of samsung na 06 model pa.

Sarap manood ng black hawk down, tears of the sun, saving private ryan basta war movies...Ano pa bang mga must watch na war movies share niyo naman

Tama si fast lane mura sa theater works & sights and sound. got my unit sa theater works (Pana 42PV70) sobra ako satisfied. Sa budget mo na 50k baka mas malaki pa yun mabili mo tsaka mas malaki discount pag cash. Try mo visit pinoydvd.com para makita mo yun mga reviews ng mga owner ng tv.

Grabe talaga bilis bumagsak ng presyo ng LCD. I bought my 32" Toshiba Regza 2 years ago and it costed me P75,000 back then... Ngayon 32 incher less than P50,000 na lang. Oh well...

^^ basta technology... don't rush in buying.... ika nga - what you need when you need it na... kasi every 3 months lang bago na ulit ang technology.

Well if you always think that way kailan ka pa bibili diba? Kasi always naman may improvements and price drops in the future. So kapag ako basta bumili ka na when you want one.
