    Yes. But i just learned from a fellow mugger that cash price is now 48k. I guess i was just lucky

    Still a great price though. Ansons & SM still sell this above 60k.

    Sights & Sounds hands down. been dealing with them since 2008. no issues with products. we still have our first LED TV from them. a 32" samsung 1080p! :D we have 2 other LG's & of course last week's purchase.

    there may be cheaper stores who also give 2 years samsung warranty, but i believe only SnS offers a 30-day return policy = peace of mind.

    our inverter split-type AC's, sub-woofer we also got from them.

    i'll shut up now, lest i be mistaken to be a SnS ambassador!

    Yup. The Sports Mode's the best in playing PS4. Some of the minor things I like about this (as compared to my old LG Smart TV) is you can also label the source. Makes it easier to go to your other source contents instead of memorizing which HDMI port is assigned to PS4 etc.

    You can ask them here and here. Just request for the price list.

    They also have a TipidPC account. I am not sure if the price listed there is updated. Check them here.

    didn't know that. anyway, i use only 1 HDMI port as all my sources (PS4, cable, TV, media player) are connected to an AVR.

    Makati,
    i've been checking the offers of different appliance stores. the 0% interest/ instalment is technically not 0% since we the customers have to pay the extra %. for example for a tv that is worth 10k in cash if i buy it using a credit card on a 6months instalment with 0% interest i pay for more or less 10,600 thus im paying for an additional of 6%... hehe marketing ploys

    For console gaming (ps4), is there a significant difference between FHD and UHD/4K given that ps4's output is 1080? I'm still using a 40" Sony from 2008 for gaming.

    Yes, Sammy's 4K upscaler does a pretty good job. Mine's a 55" 4K and the PQ from PS4 is pretty astounding. Just make sure to set it at GAME mode.

    I'd say for a 40" TV, unless you're couple feet away from the screen, the differences of a full HD from a 4K is negligible.
    They do become more apparent (at normal viewing distances i.e. 6 feet or more) for sets larger than 50".
