^pwede na siguro yung mga di masyado kilalang brand pero ingat pa rin, yung binili ko na pang ps3 lang na akira brand (19inch) ok naman sa output pero kung ako syo go for the branded ones na lang. Habol mo kasi dyan yung durability at quality eh.

Sino may experience na sa 43W800C ng Sony?

[Crazycajun]

It's that time of the year again!

Interested din ako dyan sa Sony 43W800C.

I was considering a 4k unit but based sa reviews, You won't notice much difference between a 4K and a 1080p Full HD TV if it is less than 50 inches.

[deathzero23]

murang Full HD na 42 to 50 inches? 720p-1080p pero matibay? Devant.
yung sa akin MEL 150 model matagal na pero nabili ng 40k dati. mag 4 years na. ngayon 20k na lang yata yun kung existing pa.
syempre kung may 120Hz motion feature mas mahal sa utol ko 52 inches slim yung border full hd 120hz nakuha around 50k Devant din.

basta mag-budget ng 25 to 50k pag 42 inches above.
yung inches magkakatalo na lang kung saan mo ilalagay para proportion yung tv size sa space mo.
Pag ganyan, mag-invest na. Wag nyo na tipirin.

Pero kung rich kid ka naman at brand conscious ka as in well, Sony or Samsung ka.
Basta wag kayo agad papatol sa mga brand na "sister company" ng ganitong trusted brand.
Alam nyo naman mga salesman hahaha..

Tamang-tama.. x-mas season, marami mag-sa-sale na TVs.
Kaya kapag nag-appliance sale patulan nyo na.
Madalas kami kumuha sa Western. Ok kasi sila ka-deal, madaling kausap.
Pwedeng tawaran below posted SRP. Manager na makikipag-deal sayo sa huli.

Ewan ko sa iba. Let's say sa Anson, di sa paninira pero may encounter kami ang hirap kausap.
Or baka depende sa branch manager siguro.

Just bought a 40" Full HD Sony Bravia. Mas maganda talaga experiece pag sa TV. Dati kasi sa 24" Monitor lang ako.

Yung binili ko yung cheapest na 40" ng Sony. Hindi ako natuwa sa ibang variants. Youtube and Internet capabilities lang difference, tapos ang laki ng agwat sa presyo.

Bought the Sony Bravia KDL-43W800C 43" inch Full HD TV last Sunday. I'm pretty happy with is since complete package na siya for me. It has Smart TV features and 3D features as well. I have used it for only a few days and my thoughts will be based on my experience with my old Samsung LA40D503F7RXXM 40" Full HD TV. That being said, here are my initial thoughts.

Pros
- The picture quality is way great. It's crisper and clearer than my old Samsung unit.
- The colors are deeper and more vibrant. The colors from my old TV looks washed out compared to this one.
- It also has better sound quality. I can notice a better separation of sounds compared to my old TV.
- Better backlight as well. Even with a window w/o curtain from the opposite side of the room, I can still watch with minimum glare.
- The TV stand can double as a TV mount. No need to buy a separate one.
- The remote control can sync with the PS3 and PS4 using Bravia Sync.
- You can watch movies playing on your phone straight to the TV using the TV Mirroring feature.

Cons
- Most of the HDMI Ports are facing upside down. If you already setup the unit, it's kinda hard to plug the HDMI cables.
- The manual buttons are almost at the middle of the back of the unit. It's a hassle to push the buttons. I wish it was nearer the edge of the back of the unit for easier access.
- 3D glasses are not included.
- For some reason, it's harder to connect to the internet using the TV. Granted, it may be my connections fault (I'm only using a pocket wifi). But I can connect with my PS3,PS4 and my phone using the same internet connection with less problem.

For now, yan pa lang naman ang mga na notice ko about my new TV. But overall, I'd say I got a great deal for less than 30k.

Bought the same TV two weeks ago. It's great. Never had any issues with it connecting to the Internet though even with wifi. Medyo mahihirapan ka nga lang maghanap ng 3D glasses para diyan since it uses bluetooth. I got a Samsung 3D glasses from OLX for 700 pesos. Too bad isang piece lang meron yung seller. I would have bought two. I suggest also to tweak the picture setting. You'll get a better picture quality with custom set.

The Android features are great. I get to watch Netflix in it and it's the HDTV version, not the shitty mobile one. You can also install apps in it. I suggest installing the ES explorer for you to browse the file system and install local apps. I installed Aida64 and found some interesting information regarding the specs of this TV (procie, GPU, RAM). Hehehe.

Input lag is amazingly low provided you choose the Game picture mode. It's noticeable even for non-fighting games.

The greatest feature to come out with this TV is actually Google Cast. Since Windows 10 has a built in cast feature (improved with the recent OS update), I can cast media files straight to the TV. Install Chromecast in Chrome and you'll be able to cast even your OS desktop. Local media files will work too (streaming from Windows 10) without the need for DLNA though this TV supports it too.

3D is okayish. The only game that really took advantage of it would be Super Stardust HD. I read Motorstorm Apocalypse is also good in 3D. The rest of the games that support 3D such as Killzone 3 and Uncharted are meh to be honest. What I want to try is to connect my PC to the TV and check my Steam games for 3D support. I wonder how Phantom Pain would look in 3D running at glorious 60fps.

You are right. This TV is a great deal for less than 30K.

[Crazycajun]

Thanks for the input. Yeah, sabi ng Sony since September pa raw sila umorder ng 3d glasses pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin. Sabi phased out na raw which doesnt make sense. Unless may lalabas na bagong model ng 3d glasses.

[NinjaLooter]

Bawiin ko yung sinabi ko tungkol sa 3D ng Uncharted 3. Just got to the France level. Paksyet! Ang ganda nung pagkasunog. Can't wait to see the ship and airplane set pieces!

Yung tineks mo ba sa akin na seller yung pinagbilhan mo paps? at oo maganda yung apoy sa 3D ng uncharted 3 hehehe.

Hindi ako tumuloy doon. Sarado daw yung shop nila sa Cainta. Sa may Visayas Ave. daw meron. Anyway, sa Abenson na ako bumili. They offered me cash price for credit card installment for 12 months. Bad trip lang walang 3D glasses but I was able to buy one from OLX then three more yesterday sa Avid sa Robinsons. Mura lang ang bigay. Hahaha!

[Crazycajun]

^^Sir ask ko lang kung kahit anong brand ng active 3D glasses gagana sa unit? Having trouble finding a Sony brand din kasi.

[NinjaLooter]

I wouldn't say any brand will do. You need to at least find an active 3D glasses na Bluetooth ang gamit sa pag-sync sa TV since the 43w800c uses Bluetooth.

I used a Samsung SSG-5100GB. Compatible naman siya.

[Crazycajun]

^^Thanks. Will try to see kung makahanap ako nyan habang wala sa Sony.

You're right. Panalo yung casting features ng TV. akala ko you can only play videos that are saved from the phone itself. Pwede pala magstream from phone going to TV.

I'm now on the hunt for a good Sony Xperia phone para better compatibility.

[nayj]

yung HDTV nyo ba naka-off or on yung Energy Saving? malakas ba sa kuryente kung naka-OFF kasi ang bright ng screen

Sa akin naka off and unplugged. Madali lang naman mag plug and switch on.

Tanong ko lang, meron ba dito yung hindi nagtatanggal ng sticker sa TV? Yung may mga description ng features (Full HD, Wifi, Ultra electro magnetic picture quality, etc..)

[Crazycajun]

^^Ako! Sa previus Samsung TV ko, hindi ko tinanggal yung mga feature stickers and yung mga plastic. Hindi naman kasi intrusive sa paggamit ng TV kaya hindi ko tinatanggal. And, it adds protection to the unit. Kahit sa remote control. I don't remove it from the plastic except na lang pag papalitan ang battery.

Buti hindi nakakasagabal. May kilala ako, ayaw alisin kahit naka harang. Dyahe yun pag nakaharang sa minimap. Kating kati ako alisin yung sticker. Sinubukan ko, kaso nagalit sa akin.
