    Do not buy uhd TV if hindi naman UHD mga movies mo. Sayang lang. FULL HD are enough. Para mas mura ang mabibili mo.

    Ang importante lang naman sa mga tv ngayon eh smart tv. Kasi parang desktop computer na features.

    Ako alam nyo wala smartphone kaya importante sa akin maganda operating system. Tiba tiba ako kakapanuod ngayon tv series. Hind ko na kailangan chromecast. Ayoko kasi paswipe-swipe sa screen. Mas feel ko pindot sa remote.

    Pero may technic para malaman kung ok O.S. Nagpapasama na ako kadugo ko na meron smartphone. Tapos pag nasa ansons/western na kami doon na itatry kung makakanuod tv series sa browser. Napost ko na ito dito hindi ko maalala saan thread pero yung tcl pangit browser hindi makanuod kaya after ilan days na ayaw talaga magplay eh sinoli namin. Pinakita ko sa mismo sa nagdedemo bakit sa L.G nakakanuod pero sa TCL waley.

    Next time itatry ko samsung kung maganda O.S kaso allergic na ako dahil madali masira yang brand na yan at yung affiliated na service center eh dami "horror stories" parang rapide talyer.

    What's weird at home here is the two oldest TV brands we have are Dynex and Emerson, both from 2010.

    The Dynex are two 24" 1080p TVs being used as computer monitors. I bought them at Best Buy. Even with the backlit light at 100% ever since we bought them, both TVs still work great.

    The Emerson (Funai, Japan) is a 39" 1080p TV. It's the biggest size that will fit in our old entertainment center. There are horror stories about the Funai brand. But, I didn't buy the lowest priced one. I guess we've been lucky.

    Otherwise, the main brand for our TVs are Sony Bravias. We have a 55" Bravia at the master bedroom and a 48" in the kitchen. We used to have an older 42" Bravia. But, we gave it to our niece when she moved to an apartment of her own.

    We've had two TVs die on us. Our very first LCD TV was a 32" 2003 720p Magnavox. It died completely in 2010. We also have a 32" 2014 720p Hisense LED TV that used to be in the kitchen. The backlit light went out this year. I plan on getting the backlit light replaced and use it as an external monitor for my laptop. But, I won't leave the backlit light at 100%.

    Majority of the houses in the Philippines do not have grounding. The power distribution here in MM uses a split phase system - two hots and 1 neutral ground. 1 hot is 110v and the other hot is 110v giving you a total of 220v nominal. Nothing is connected to the neutral ground.

    Hi brush

    paano pala machecheck ang "dirty electricity" sa bahay?

    And how to correct?

    I missed the Trinitron days too. I remember when our living room TV and PC aperture grille CRT monitors were Trinitrons.

    The WEGAs were floor model flatscreens (I think) with their own built-in cabinets. We skipped them. But, my uncle had one for a long time.

    I couldn't agree more. A 720p or even 480p will stay relatively sharp in a 1080p TV, but played or shown on a 4K TV it's atrocious. Only problem is it's getting harder and harder to find 1080p screens today. Even the 4K TVs have fallen in prices already to "presyong abot kaya".

    My mistake bro. Maybe that why its heavily discounted. But what advantage disadvantage of OLED vs IPS? Deal breaker ba?

    OLED screen mas mahal kasi conrol ng brightness niya is per pixel. Sa IPS yung brightness is per panel. Better blacks, HDR and contrast.

    magaganda mostly ang current 4k tv upscalers bro. inis ako last year bago palang ako nakabili / test, since konti nalang selection ng 1080p tv * 50" and up. luckily matyaga yung sales guy sa sm when i was testing youtube clips, as low as 360p (bagal ng internet sa loob ng SM) and was able to produce decent upscaled vid

    TCL's 4K offering is starting to look good to me. I was eyeing one of the QLED screens for when our Devant or Skyworth dies but at half the price the TCL 6-series looks like a good buy that won't break the bank. Its 12 contrast zones and Dolby HDR should be a big improvement over the standard LCD on our Devant. I just hope it won't start sending info about what I watch back to our commie overlords.

    Has anyone tried playing 4k videos on their smart TV using the you tube app? Hangang 1080p lang nakuha ko because of my sucky PLDT DSL connection.
