How’s a 42″ LCD TV for just Php23,500?

So I’ve just been told by my friend that the new shipments of the KTC LCD TV have arrived and been delivered to their resellers in Gilmore. Then, there’s the new 42-inch LCD TV too which they sell for only Php23,500.

Can’t believe how cheap they are offering it but considering their 32″ is already at the Php13,999 price point, the price of the 42-incher seemed at par.

I still got the 32″ and the 23″ HD TVs at home since they delivered the test units back in December but I’m curious how the 42-inch model would look like.

The rest of the specs is similar to the older models but will wait for that brochure once they send it to me. See more about the 32″ KTC TV here. The units are available in PC Options, Gaisano Interpace, RSB HQ, etc.

    Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you
    knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for
    my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m
    having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!

    You should definitely opt for an LED tv that a more reliable brand. In doing so, you will not waste your money on something that may not last that long or offers low quality features.

    Actually KTC television are ok for someone don’t want to spend allot of money, but you can’t compare it to samsung led tv’s.

  4. paul says:

    any update on the specs?

    I have a 21″ Sony CRT TV I bought in year 2000 for like Php13,500

    medyo malapit ng masira….may itm na kasi yung gilid bg screen…
    i hope manalo ako dito para mapalitan na..: )

    Napaka Cheap naman yan.. ang ibang brands nga ang 42 inch umaabot na ng 50 thousand pesos.. pero feeling ko panget ng quality…

  7. Lezuric says:

    Hala.. umaapoy na.. lol.. enough with tat shit and you both get some life. What done is already done and move on with it. Palalakihin nyo pa.. haha

    Back to the real topic

    Sobrang mura nyan for a 42″, I was like “Hey mom! lets buy this! its really cheap!” but then having some research about the brand. Now I doubt about the quality. ];

    @JP –

    Una, bulag ka… Di si pusang kulog ang nagsabi ng tinuringan mo kundi ako… Si Pusang Tulog…

    Pangalawa, Masyado kang hot my fren… Paingles ingles ka pa… Bakit, sinabi ko bang lahat ng yan eh ikaw? Kabobo mo naman… Nag-generalized na nga ako eh, isip mo ikaw pa rin… Guilty?

    Paano ka natanggap diyan sa kumpanya ninyo?

    Masyado ka atang defensive brod… Duda pa tuloy ako sa pagkalalaki mo kasi masyado kang matalak… Nyehehe…

    Pacheck ka ng BP brod! O kaya punta ka sa psychiatrist… Parang may identity crisis ka eh… Ahehe!

    Base sa picture, pangit ang picture quality nya.

  10. JP says:

    Damn all those stupid people who contradict me!

  11. JP says:

    @Pusang Kulog

    You spew out the worst non-sequiturial responses.

    Do you see any blog hosted on my domain? Did you check my tweet history? You need to go to a doctor, child. I work in a company. I don’t blog. Do you see any blog on my domain? Nada. Adsense? Is that the best rebuttal you have? Pathetic you.

    Guess you’re nuts after all.

  12. Pusang Tulog says:

    Oo nga… para lang mapromote yung tweeter at website n’yo, gawa gawa pa kayo ng ibang account… Tapos, kunyari magsosorry, tapos, kunyari magagalit yung may orig account… wehehe… Di kasi kayo magsulat ng maaayos para naman may nagbabasa ng mga tweets at website ninyo…

    Sa totoo lang, marami diyan sa tabi tabi, nagtitweeter at nagwewebsite, para lang naman makakuha ng barya mula sa Adsense eh… Pambihira kayo, nang dahil sa barya eh binibenta ninyo pati pagkatao ninyo… Tsk tsk tsk…

  13. loy says:

    is there a KTC 18.5 inch?.. how much?..

  14. binog says:

    Im not sure if this is a good purchase, but better do further research first before buying.

    I’ve seen a Panasonic 42×20 @ 29,500 cash in Shangrila and to compare with this unit, just add 6K and you got a branded unit. But there were also claimed in other forums that they got a factory defect unit [so tsaMbahan lang talaga :)]

    Sir Yuga mentioned shop names in Gilmore. You can also search the shops ratings to view their Positive and Negative feedbacks at tipidpc.com

    Make sense?

  15. JP says:

    @Pusang Kulog

    Cognitive dissonance, I see. You admit you’re not sure if the poser was the real me, then you come around pretending like a hero with your surmise? Poor you.

    ANOTHER (CHINCHANSU) CHINA PRODUCTS!!!!

    LIKE CHERRY, BAD AFTERSALES!!!

  17. fr0stbyte says:

    I think the problem here is the support you’re entitled to after you buy it. Bigger brands have better warranties in the long run.

  18. Pogi says:

    the problem with the oem brands are the warranty and after sales service. mahirap magtiis at maperhuwisyo. T_T but knowing that stores in gilmore carries the brand, tingin ko di naman sasablay sa warranty. hindi naman siguro itataya ng mga tindahan pangalan nila sa bagong brand na ito.

  19. fragglerock says:

    @Pusang kulog: hehehe..

    @yuga: sir abe not to nitpick but is the 10k price disparity between the 32″ and 42″ worth it? i know it’s cheap already but since you’ve seen the unit maybe you can give us more insight. thanks.

  20. Pusang Kulog says:

    @the JP who claims he’s the original – Di ko ata problema yan brod… Pano naman kami makakasure na iba ka dun sa poser? Di naman ako si Haring Solomon para hatiin yung bata nang malaman kung sino ang tunay na nanay… wehehe…

    I was thinking… Why would a poser use a gravatar that says he is a poser?

  21. JP says:

    ^ You have issues kid, get a life.

    Hi Yuga, it wasn’t me who commented with profanity. Some guy must’ve used my Gravatar email address.

    @Pusang Kulog — bro, before you compose an essay based on your surmise, you better get acquainted with the word ‘posers’, mmmkay?

  22. JP says:

    oh, sorry for the word.
    the reason why i was able to say those words because i’ve just broke up with my gf.

    i apologize sir yuga and i understand that your site is suffering from hardware failures.

  23. evilnet says:

    well atleast tama aq sa explanati0n ni yuga.

    @pusang kal0g-ok yang post mu t0l.hehe.i like it.

  24. Abe Olandres says:

    @ Jeremiah Carlos – I think it’s provided by the store where you bought it which forwards it to the distributor.

    @Christian – still haven’t gotten the official specs. will post once I get them.

    @wh@ – not sure dude, very limited release pa lang sila e.

    @Dan – will ask, the distributor actually reads this post so I’ll ask them to reply to all your inquiries.

    @chibabs – yup, puede.

    @someone – can’t say pa. will get more info.

    @povillo – as mentioned in my post — The units are available in PC Options, Gaisano Interpace, RSB HQ, etc.

    @jp – dude, please don’t expect I can reply to all your inquiries right away. I get hundreds of comments everyday and dozens of emails. I don’t get to answer them all.

    @Kenneth – meron dito. 23″ but another brand naman. will give it away.

    @3739 – i suggest you contact Gaisano and probably baka order basis for Mindanao.

    @wakocoke – at least 720p. I think 1080i cguro pag 42″ na.

  25. Pusang Kulog says:

    @JP – Ano ibig mong sabihin sa “I gonna off this deaf blog?”

    Grabe naman, mapansin lang yang Tweeter link sa username mo, kung anu-ano na pinagsasabi mo… Tagalugin mo na lang para may sense naman!

    Haaaaayyyy!!! Palpalaran nga ubing!

    At huwag mong sasabihing karapatan mong magpost nang kahit ano dahil karapatan ko ring magpost ng pinost ko para sa yo… Gets mo?

  26. evilnet says:

    gago k pla e.sa dami b naman ng nagc0c0mment d2 panu nya rereplyan lhat.bka n0nsense ung tanung mu o kaw mism0 n0nsense.haha. .peace yoh.

  27. pawned says:

    ^ Obvious poser is obvious ^

  28. JP says:

    Geez, yuga is so stupid.
    He didn’t even reply to our comments. I gonna off this deaf blog.

  29. JP says:

    Geez, yuga is so stupid. He didn’t even reply to our comments. I gonna off this deaf blog. :)

  30. wakocoke says:

    sir baka naman 480p lang yan :))

    pero kung 1080 yan, aba bang for the buck! patungan na lang ng samsung ung KTC hahaha

  31. 3739 says:

    Sir Yuga,

    Gaisano Interpace has lots of branches in Mindanao. Will they service them there if so I’ll bring the TV in Mindanao?

    Thanks!

  32. Arnel Cunanan says:

    popular brands on offer here in saudi arabia are just a bit priced higher than ktc 42″

  33. Kenneth says:

    Sir Yuga,

    Wala bang plan na mag-sponsor ang friend mo ng contest at Yugatech, where the prize is a KTC LCD? :) hehe. Nagbabakasakali lang po. :)

    ————

    Will try to check out the KTC units when I’m at Gilmore. No time to go there kasi. Wala ba silang resellers outside of Gilmore area?

  34. JP says:

    @Yuga, how about the refresh rate? 60 or 120hz?

  35. povillo says:

    YUGA, where in whats the store name in Gilmore? or are there other resellers aside from Gilmore in the south.?

  36. Ben says:

    Oo nga nakakatakot yung quality. I wonder where it came from. Just recently, I was looking for a good LCD TV. Bumili na lang ako ng Sony Bravia na 32″. Mahal talaga pero at least alam ko may warranty na matagal at matibay pa.

  37. someone says:

    From your previous post, the 23″ has a higher resolution compared to the 32″. I’m guessing this one has the same resolution as the 32″ model. So it’s not full HD?

  38. chibabs says:

    Is the ugly logo in front removable? At a very good price, I’d be willing to buy this thing, but the huge KTC logo is a big turn-off which would make you think twice.
    Sana naman pagandahin ng kaunti ang KTC logo sa harap. These guys might need a little help on “Branding”.

  39. Dan says:

    Any ideas as to its power consumption? Would be great to find out. :)

  40. Ian says:

    meron sa gameXtreme 28K 42″ panasonic plasma hdtv. Dagdag ka lang ng 4.5K nakapanasonic ka na. Sigurado ka pang matibay. =)

  41. wh@ says:

    sir yuga d2 po kaya sa nueva ecija my reseller cla? I want the 32”.

  42. Christian says:

    mayroon po ba kayong specifications niyan? saka ask ko lang yung maximum resolution niyan.

    Thanks! :)

  43. vince says:

    nakakatakot. baka madali masira

  44. Jeremiah Carlos says:

    very competitive pricing sir yuga.. how about the after sales service? what are the terms of product warranty?

  45. Abe Olandres says:

    @ralph – service center is where you bought it.

    @rolly – nope, Shenzen.

  46. Eljon says:

    wala po ba sir umaabot na ganyan dto sa baguio? or ung 23″ one. hehe..

  47. rolly says:

    Is this a locally made?

  48. ralph says:

    how about the service center for ktc sir abe
