Tempting Devant 32″ LCD TVs
I am on a quest on buying my first television set and my target is a 32″ LCD TV. This is one of the brands that caught my eye earlier today while I was roaming around appliance stores mainly because of it’s freebies (sadly not the TV).
Let me write the specs here.

- USB Slot
- HDMI
- PC Input
- Equalizer
- Invisible Speaker
Devant Lustre Series
- Ultra Slim

- Superior Clear Panel
- 3D Digital Comb Filter
- USB Slot
- HDMI
- PC Input

- Touch Button
- Swivel Stand
Devant Elite Series
- Ultra Slim
- Full HD
- Superior Clear Panel
- Full Color Optimizer
- USB Slot
- HDMI
- PC Input
- SRS
- Invisible Speaker
- Touch Button
Some definition of terms (only what I know)
- HD Ready has a resolution of around (1280×768) while Full HD has a resolution of (1920×1080)
- SRS is something on the sounds (I think Toshiba has this one)
- PIP means picture in picture where you can multi task (eg. one big picture for cable viewing while a little picture for your pc)
| Model | Cash Price | Cash/Straight Payment | Freebies | Estimated Value of TV* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32DX850 Signature Series |
PHP 31950 | PHP 28750 (Less PHP 3200) | HDMI Player (Next base 895) and DV-5130 5.1 CH Speaker System |
15150 |
| 32CL900 Lustre Series |
PHP 24950 | PHP 22450 (Less PHP 2500) | HDMI Player (Next base 895) | 18850 |
| 32CE950 Elite Series |
PHP 28950 | PHP 26050 (Less PHP 2900) | None | 26050 |
If I look at the prices, they are already very competitive when you compare it to branded LCD TVs. The 32″ Signature Series for me would be the best buy due to the freebies you can get (HDMI player then a 5.1 Channel Speaker System).
Other Stats:
- Contrast Ratio is 15000 : 1
- Power Consumption is around 150 Watts (is this high?)
This is one on my watch-out list but somehow, I’m not that convinced =( . Btw, the promo I guess is until the end of the month (July 2010) or when the Twilight: Eclipse fever is gone.
Will continue to post more of my choices soon.
Btw, the picture above is a 22″ DX850 (Signature Series)
