Samsung LCD TV's How Durable?

[palonmar]

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!

with that price.. pwede nang LED tv yan.. wag na LCD.. mas matipid sa kuryente ang LED..

WANT durability... get a plasma....

just bought LG 50" hd plasma for only 32k...

meron din ako isang plasma 42" 3D.. malakas nga lang sa kuryente compare mo sa lcd.. lalo na kung hd... pero kung naka power saving mode.. 70-80 watts lang pc...

Sony uses samsung panels, so same lng durability. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ilang taon mo nang gamit ang Plasma TV mo sir? Di nga lang maganda sa plasma ay malakas talaga sa consumption sa kuryente. Sometimes the electronic components fails first before the life of the panel. Same things also happens with the CCFL, ok pa yung mismong bulb nya, pero nauunang nasisira yung mga electronic components.

Ano ba yung motion rate non, 120 HZ na ba or 60Hz lang?

[chrismarte]

check mo sa ibang reliable na gumagawa baka yung broken parts na papalitan na sinasabi nila buo o assembly. usually ganun ibang service centre para makaiwas sa back job.

27K makakabili ka na nang brand new nyan

I can attest to Sony's durability, hindi nga lang sa LCD or LED.. sa CRT TV lang.

Yun CRT TV namin na Sony mahigit isang dekada na, buhay pa rin hanggang ngayon. Yun pa pinapagamit sa maid.

Yung Trinitron din naman more than 20 yrs old na

mine is a 2005 Philips 29" CRT buo pa hanggang ngayon hindi pa nasisira. Ganda pa nang color very shiny.

Palakihan na kasi ng tv ngayon i think 42in is now the standard in terms of size tapos 50 or 55in kung gusto mo ng malaki

your right sir retz... parang 21" nalang ang 42" ngayon.... 55'' pataas ang cinema like na....

sir palomar yung old plasma ang nauunang nasisira ang electronics kasi sobrang init nung unang lumabas na plasma... parang oven na ang init... pero last long pa din daw....

yung sakin new model na.... 42" 3d, may init pero hindi naman sobrang init.... more or less 4yrs. palang samin... pag dating sa power consumption, pag naka power saving mode consumes more or less 100watts... PAG hd 200w plus.... then napaka cheap pa... ang 50" 32K lang... none 3D...

yung sa byenan ko LG na lcd... sabay kami bumile nun... ok pa naman lcd nya...

TRY mo naman Lg LED sir.... madaming 42 na led na mura sa sulit....

[Retz]

Ang mura ng kuha niyo sir manikis! Ung mga 50" na LED pinaka mura nakita ko devant and skyworth.... Nasa 45 to 50k i think. Kailangan ba talaga na internet at 3d? Nagagamit ba ninyo ito?

Buti naman sir at ok pa rin ang plasma tv ninyo at yung LCD TV byenan mo. Mukhang sakin lang yata ang nagkaproblema before 4 years on the date of purchase kasi wala pang nagpopost dito na nagkaproblem LCD TV nila, he he he. I will consider buying plasma as another option kapag decided na ako which one ang bibilhin kong TV. I'm thinking of buying something like in the 46'' above. Sakin naman dii ko naman kailangan ang 3D kasi kailangan pa ng glasses when watching 3D films at isa pa kapag nanonood kami ng movie, the whole family nanonood.

Mas matibay pa nga sir yung mga sinaunang tv na CRT ang gamit at kapag nasira, mura at madali lang makahanap ng pyesa sa raon. Di gaya ngayon na LCD ang gamit na screen, puro IC's ang mga pyesang gamit kaya kapag nasira mahal ang replacement parts kasi buong board ang papaltan at di nabibili kung saan saan lang.
