My Samsung Plasma TV lasted a couple of months. Good thing Samsung replaces me with a Brand New LCD TV. Now thats what I called good service.
My Friend have a Sony Bravia 60" 1080p rear lcd projector. 4 months tops only. Sony will only fix it not replace.

[empy]

well, i decided to order the Viera anyway. 32" LCD with 2 HDMI inputs, all resolution modes except for 1080p, and all the component inputs i would ever need.

was going to wait until 1080p set prices came down, but i had a chance to buy this one for USD 400 (list was 1,100) so hindi ko natiis. we now have more TV's in the house than people, so i have no idea what we're going to do now :hihihi:

PM sent! RE: FD's delivery address.

[Mguy]

Ang laking bagsak ng presyo ngayon ng mga 32" LCD TVs napansin ko. Daming nag o-offer, buy one take one. Kundi buy one at P 40,000 lang 0% interest for 6 months pa. Kung cash bayad mo, may additional discount.

Yun Samsung na recently binebenta na P 99,000, ngayon mga P 35,000++ na lang.

Bakit kaya? Or what's the catch?

[BlueBimmer]

oo kasi mga 1080P models na ang pinapasok ngayon so automatic obsolete na mga 1080i sets..

just like sa mga PC

[Innova_Boy]

whats the diff bet i and p models ba??

Ngayon ko lang nabasa 'to... help naman for HT. Budget siguro mga ave. 15K w/o the player.

Questions:
1. Pag ba ang DVD player (ex.: Pioneer) may nakalagay na Dolby, DTS, etc. it means it can send process and send Dolby, DTS, etc. signals to my speakers right? If so, i'm only sending it to my right and left channel na naka connect sa L/R ng DVD?

2. 1/3 palang nababasa ko dito, Dai-ichi din ba meron HT na bang for the buck na parang car audio? brand? model? price?

1. The best solution to this is to use the digital out of your player so the receiver will process the digital signal. There's a distinction, but i forgot already since I'm always using the receiver's processor anyway thru the fiber optic connection. DTS Surround means it can process on its own (AFAIK). DTS Digital Out means it needs an external processor (receiver).

2. For sure meron, go to SM-B Megamall 5F. Daichi is an OEM for bigger brands here and abroad.


If your budget is only 15k, add 4k and just get Logitech z5500 THX Digital. I use this for my computer: It's only 22k when i got it, should be around 19k by now.

i think nabasa ko na half - there is this DTX made by Dai-Ichi, bang for the buck din ba 'to?

[Horsepower]

pag naasar ako sa kapitbahay kong superbaduy na laging nagpapatugtog ng pinoy-hiphop, pinapayanig ko bahay nya literally *1am in the morning.... :D

Literally ha, as in gumagalaw ang mga dingding at roofing ng bahay nya. Pero di nya yun alam, nagpapatugtog ako ng ultra-low frequency sound kaya hindi maingay. hehhehehehe.

I still get a crack out of it once in a while. Ganun kalakas ang speakers na yan.

1. depends if the dvd has a built decoder just wire the corresponding output to the 5.1 speaker kung wala you will need a receiver to decode the audio output then wire to your 5.1 speakers

2. used to have a DTX9.5 line from daichi and they are really bang for the buck i bought them 3.8k for the floorstanders, 2.2k for the rear 1.7k for the center ang 6.5k for the subwoofer

check out raon baka meron pang ilan na natitira

check out dai ichi's website http://www.daiichielectronics.com.ph/ht_spkrs.htm

[ineedmorehp]

sir are you talking about DTX (i believe so)? Anu qualities ng speaker na yan?

[kimpOy]

its a little bright for music.. pero for movies the bomb siya.. and considering its price, sobrang sulit na...

[ineedmorehp]

Ok. done reading the whole thread. It seems at some point (page 35-40 ata) it says DTX is no longer available. Pano na? Btw for movies. For audio im happy and satisfied w/ my very old Altec Lansing multimedia speakers.

[kimpOy]

audition mo ang euros... sa megamall 5th level... then ask mo kung magkano sa raon...

[BlueBimmer]

whats the diff bet i and p models ba??

WBR,

1080i is high res but still interlaced, 1080P is high res tapos progressive scan pa, the native resolution of Blu-ray and HD DVD

[ineedmorehp]

sige sir sa weekend pero for now, anu ba properties ng Euros? Price range? So wala na DTX?

[empy]

the P in 1080P stands for "Potah". mapapamura ka kasi sa ganda ng picture...at sa taas ng presyo :shocked2:
