This post is long overdue but hey, it’s Christmas time and last week was quite busy.  Nevertheless here is the conclusion of my HDTV shopping adventure.

I came back Sunday last week and could not believe my eyes when I saw that the LG 32LH70YR was not anymore on display.  I asked the saleslady and she told me everything was sold out — including the one on display!  And that happened within 2 days!  Darn! Anyways, one of them told me they would have new stock by Monday.

The next day, I tried calling them about twice and later that afternoon they told me it would be Tuesday.  I tried calling other stores but either their listed phone numbers are not in service or they don’t have that model on sale. The following day, I had appointments the whole day so I wasn’t able to visit the store.  Wednesday, I immediately called them first thing in the morning and to my delight they said they had 3 in stock.  By the time, I got to the store, I found out the one I just bought was second to the last they have.  I guess this model is really popular.  The price was still 30,000 for cash buyers.  I also bought a Pioneer DV420 which upscales DVD movies to Full HD and has an HDMI cable for free all for around 5,000.

So far, after one week of owning it I am not disappointed.  I’ve watched only TV and DVD though.  One day, we will get a blueray player but we just thought this is isn’t the right time yet.  But we’ll see. We even used it as a monitor for playing games and the resolution goes up to 1920 x 1080.
