To choose a new TV set, the line from the Family Feud game show "survey says" is not ideal. You don’t decide on an “investment” based on the decision of a majority. When buying a TV set, one has to research and research I did.
Two TVs
This would be our 3rd TV set in 14 years. Our first TV was a 14in Samsung which we bought for P5000 in 1994. It’s still working and currently being used when we’re in the province. Our second and current TV was purchased in 2004 just after MC was born. It’s a 21in Sony TV with a built in subwoofer. Considered “high tech” during its time with all the bells and whistles.
The Requirements
For our 3rd TV, the requirements set were the following:
(1) At least 32 in.
(2) USB input
(3) HDMI input
(4) LED
(5) Full HD (1080p)
(6) Slim and wall mount capable
(7) Preferably with sound bar
(8) Internet access is a plus
(9) The budget set was P30,000.
The Candidates:
(1) Samsung 32in Series 4000
(2) Samsung 32in Series 5000
(3) LG 32in LE5500
(4) LG 32in LE5300 http://32le5300.com/
And the winner is:
Last March 26, I read a newspaper ad about a promo tie up between SM Appliance and LG. They’re selling an LG32in LE5300 for P26,990 with a free wall mount bracket. So that pretty much sealed the deal. A new TV was purchased last March 29, 2011.
I bought my LE5300 LG for the same price (26,990) in SM Marikina, but this time they're selling it with a free LG home theater worth 9k. :)
