Atty, kung dika maselan sa picture quality ok na mga generic or di kilalang brands. Pero may mga di kilalang brands din na maganda naman ang quality gaya ng devant. Kung ako tatanungin dun pa rin ako syempre sa mga kilalang brands kasi may support talaga sila sa mga ibinebenta nila dito sa pinas. It's a Sony pa rin ako.

*ts - depende na yan sa gumagamit sir saka tingin ko swertehan lang din ang pagbili. kung ang mapunta sayo na unit e may potential na masira agad, malas lang. pero kung konti lang ang diperensya ng presyo sa branded na LCD tv e don ka na sa branded.

overrated ang sony.. sobrang mahal pa... pag dating sa LCD tv samsung talaga.. lalo na yung series 5 up nila... kahit aerial tv lang gamit mo malinaw talaga...

Is it not that the branded ones also come from China, just like the generic ones?

FYI hindi generic ang TCL actually Sony dati ang distributor at parts nila galing din sa Sony

medyo malabo lang ang kulay compared to known brands pero matibay din 8 years ko din nagamit yung 21" CRT TV hanggang pinamigay ko pero gumagana pa rin hanggang ngayon yung remote lang ang nasira.

meron na bang LED TV na may built-in 'Siri'? o baka sa 2014 pa ito ilalabas?

TCL, Changhong, are not generic brands. They are China brands.

Swertehan lang pagbili sa mga brands na yan. It's really for budget buyers.

We bought a 24" TCL LCD TV about two years ago. Still works like a charm until now. We got it for a good bargain price (straight cash payment) in Ansons Ortigas.

Hindi na malayo quality niya sa other branded models. Wala pa rin kasi digital cable sa area kung san kinabit yung TV, so mamamaximize lang siya yung mag DVD or console games.

So here's the deal: If you have enough budget to buy the best branded ones (Samsung, Sony, LG) at ayaw mo ng feeling na mabitin or hinayang, then go for the top ones.

Otherwise if budget IS a concern, it's OK to settle with the other brands like DeVant, TCL, etc..

Better consider how often you will use it for: DVD/Blu-Ray movies, console games (PS3, XBox), cable (standard, digital, HD).
