Samsung LCD TV's How Durable?

[glenn manikis]

Sirs, how about the sound quality of Sony, LG, Samsung, Devant etc.... pare parehas lang ba? or ano ba ung malakas ung sound? para hindi na bumili ng separate na 5.1 sound system.

sir napansin ko...LG lcd led ang maayos na sounds... compare sa samsung, etc.. hindi tunog lata....

15 months na ang LG 55lw6500 ko. no problemo pati sound. But I am using Sony home theater.

Yung Samsung LCD TV kong nasira, yung sounds nya sablay talaga eversince at parang ngongo ang tunog. Kaya ang ginagamit kong sounds minsan when watching TV yung binili kong 5.1 home theater surround sound para magandang pakinggan. Good to use when watching movies pero kung pang music di masyadong magandang tumunog kahit na anong adjustment ang gawin.

bumili sila gf last year ng samsung LCD tv, kumidlat lang namatay na agad yung tv, d na nag ON ulit. sabi tinamaan daw ng kidlat,

This is somewhat true, lightning strikes can destroy any electronic appliances lalo na kung malapit at napakalakas. This is because of the EMP produced by the lightning strikes, kaya next time kapag kumikidlat ng malakas, better switch off or unplug your electronic appliances. Nangyari naman samin ito sa mini component namin. The mini compo suddenly turned off, the same time with the loud bang of the lightning. Di na nag-on uli at nasira yung power supply nya.

Try mo Philips sound bar sir. ok din ang sound niya.

oo nga pala, pwede rin philips.

[palonmar]

For sound quality stay away from Samsung, try other brands

Mayron ba satin na pwedeng i-avail na 5 years extended warranty? Mas maganda sana kung meron kasi kamahal din kaya ng mga flat TV ngayon.

I have a Samsung LCD TV 37 inch which I purchased nearly 4 years for 63K and now started showing problems with the monitor. That TV is being used for about 6-8 hours a day mostly and now got problem. We've contacted Samsung Service Center and later on they sent service guy to check for the problem. It was found out that the problem lies with what they called "T Card", a printed circuit board with many IC's which they say controls the color of the monitor. He phoned the service center and later told us that the broken part cost 27K ! WHAAATTTTTTT? That cost will buy a new LCD TV of same brand and size in today's price. I'm thinking of buying new LCD TV but not Samsung this time but now I'm eyeing on SONY BRAVIA, I heard Sony brands are durable, is it?

Please post here fellow tsikoteers if how long it takes before your Samsung LCD TV started showing problems...Thanks!

uh oh. I am in the same predicament as yours. 37in, 4 years old but mine is seldom used. havent had it checked though wala pa kasing time, but mine has washed out whites, ganun din ba sayo? if so crap, 27k!

i bought a 32in Samsung LCD tv around feb 2008 sa Singapore.
shipped it to PH - buo pa hanggang ngayon.
very old model. doesn't need an adapter for the antennae port para masagap local channels
sa PH. yung mga later models from abroad - requires one.

5 years na sir. gamit ba everyday? or seldom use lang?

[xwangbu]

merong iba na may extended 2 years warranty pero may additional fee for that..

at malamang di covered yung display mismo.
if you get dead pixels or burn-ins - malamang
hindi covered.

5 years na sir. gamit ba everyday? or seldom use lang?

first two years - di naman gano. pero yung last 3 years - sa biyenan
ko na. knowing her - marathon manood yun (TV + pirated DVDs). mahina
na 6 hours a day straight in a week.
max cguro 8 to 10 hours.

Parang 2 years nga lang yata ang maximum extended warranty na inooffer nila. Yan ang natatandaan ko the last time na binili ko yung Samsung ko, malabo na siguro kahit mga 3 years kasi alam din ng manufacturer malaki ang chance na masira na yung unit kaya walang more than 2 years ang warranty. Sa pagbili ngayon ng Flat TV, swertihan na lang siguro kapag nagtagal pa nang more than 5 years.
