I got our toshiba 140k, 50 inch mga 1.5 years ago. Ok sya for DVD. pero pag ps2/xbox, di maganda pic quality. lalo na pag TV or cable(we use dream). hindi kase ganun ka-advance yun video features ng dream receiver at ng PS2. siguro maganda pag xbox 360 lalo na HD na yun 360 right?

Ah ok. Hmmm... ordinary lang xbox ko eh. 140k? Baka iba yung sinasabi ko, pero alam ko projector type din yun eh, yung mga nakikita ko kasi less than 60k, that was i think 1.5 years ago, pero 4:3 yung ratio nya, pero 41 inches ata. Ang sabi sa akin kasi nung kaibigan ko, mga 40k nalang daw yung ganun ngayon.

baka magkaiba nga. anyway, we got ours about 2 summers ago, came with free 21 inch toshiba tv

tagal etong pic na to. Baka wala na ito sa market or nakasale na sya



maganda rin yun Sony wega na RPTV. its setup in another room. ewan ko lang how much sya today. mahal electronics sa atin. masOK talaga sa US or china/HK.

meron ba dito gumagamit ng mga RPTV for their systems? Im thinking of getting this na lang, i find LCD's and Plasma's too expensive pa eh. baka kasi after 5 yrs kalahati na lang ang presyo ng mga ito. May idea ba kayo kung magkano ang mga locally available RPTV, mga around 40K ang mga 41 inches diba? Tsaka advisable ba gamitin ito for XBOX, yun naman kasi main reason ko in wanting to buy a bigger TV second reason is para mas masarap manuod ng champions league and third lang ang DVD viewing.

RPTV user here... ours is a 57" Pioneer that we got on sale. it is still good after all these years.

kung malapitan ang tingin mo, medyo grainy ang RPTV compared to LCD & Plasma. pero kung medyo malayo ka na - oks na din ang quality. lalo na yung mga Samsung!

Replaced my old Mitsu 55" rptv with the latest Mitsu 65" (WD65731) DLP RPTV. The new DLP RPTVs have evolve over the years that the "burn-in" problem is not an issue anymore unlike Plasma. I used this set for 100% High Def viewing thru OTA HD programs, HD cable and DVD movies thru an upscaler player. Oh, I bought a 6ft HDMI for $35 if you know were to look.


My plasma for regular TV/DTV/cable programs;


My LCD for video games;


cheers!

Ako meron ding dedicated Home Theater, pero nakakahiyang i-post.

Bulok kasi!

Here abroad, plasma tvs are getting cheaper and cheaper. A 50 inch plasma tv nowadays costs almost the same as my 60 inch panasonic DLP which I bought just a year ago. Even the 70 and 80 inch tvs are more affordable now. If I only knew how to wait back then, pero happy pa rin ako sa system ko.

Ang problema lang sa atin wala pang mga HD broadcasts kaya we still have to depend on our dvd players to get a clear picture on a big screen tv. For me I guess its more advisable to get a smaller CRT TV set if you just want to watch regular cable or play video games. But if your a movie buff like me, the bigger the screen, the better. Just have to invest on a good dvd player, good cables and 5.1 surround sound to really get that HT experience.

Blu ray dvd and HD dvd players are still very much near or over the $1000 mark here in Canada and still have a lot of bugs in it. Its still better to wait a while for the prices of these goodies to go down and sort out the problems they have in their systems. I just hope I can still control myself from buying these toys.

Kung may nakasulat na atleast DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1, you can call it an authentic home theater. May 3 front and 2 surround speakers ka nga, pero kung dalawang channel lang pala ang binubuga nung unit mo, then it's not a real home theater.

The best na ang price niyan, bro. Sound reproduction of Yamaha is one of the best, considering almost wala siyang harmonic distortion.
