The Unstatement

I saw last night a 22” Devant LCD TV selling at Ansons Store in Makati. I tried googling for the brand name, but nothing appears close to the brand and the company.

devant - Google Search

Is this the kind of marketing you want for your product?

Update: Just would like to add some of the other comments that were lost due to the change in commenting system from js-kit to disqus.

sa monumento abenson nakita ki din, gusto ko ngang bilhin pero i search the net for the company who made it wala, hinda ba product din ng nextbase un?

That’s exactly my point. Di ba kung gusto nila maka benta dapat meron man lng sana clang website?

January 4, 2009 by Wilburt Wong:

hehehe! i was also looking for info on this product… pero actually, nabili ko na, i got the 22” model which is the most mabenta daw talaga, i even had to transfer stores twice kasi out-of-stock!

m using it now as TV and computer monitor na din. madali kasi magswitch eh, pindot mo lang sa remote kung VGA = computer monitor or TV = cable tv. COOL NO?

sa computer nga lang you have to find the right resolution sa settings, auto adjust kasi yung LCD display or else it stretches the whole thing side-ways. oo nga pala, you may want to increase the tint settings, masyadong bright kasi eh.

sa TV naman, everything is pretty easy to use. except for the color, brightness and contrast na naka-set sa standard nila, so you have to set it sa gusto mo.

overall, it’s idiot-friendly… and yes, according to the reciept, its a nextbase product.

hey! i just checked the box again… www.techpoint.com.ph is the website for the DeVant LCD TV… pero wala pang laman… coming in 2009 pa lang daw! HAHAHA! kakaloko talaga mga nagmamarket nitong product na ito! hehehe!

January 5, 2009 by me:

thanks for the info. kaso feeling ko rin kc bitin sakin ung 22” :D

 o, but no dedicated page to browse their products?

dhon salcedo 04/29/2009 10:27 PM

Actually I’m one of several people who are also interested in buying Devant TV but I tried to browse the internet but nothing appears with link to the model and brand that I tried to search.

I recently bought a black Devant LCD TV after about two weeks of drooling at it in several appliance stores in the city. I particularly liked its classic appearance and the smooth finish. The first time I turned it on, I noticed that the colors are a bit saturated but was later fixed with a few adjustments. Built-in speaker sound quality is ok. The picture can be adjusted to panorama, fullscreen and two other options i don’t remember at the moment. There’s a feature that can freeze a picture on TV. 

With regards to picture quality I would compare it to that of Sharp or Panasonic.

Im also planning to buy a Devant LCD TV but im a bit hesitant because i’ve practically never heard of it. Cant even find their website in google. Admittedly, it looks good and it has some cool features but what if it breaks down? 

I remember, i had some problems with my NEXTBASE dvd player when it broke down. I couldnt find a convenient service center to have it fixed. I went to SM Megamall because that’s where i bought it but they told me i had to go to Binondo because that’s where their service center is located. 

I ended up junking the less than a year old NEXTBASE dvd player.

Obviously they lack that solid online marketing strategy. We can just hope some people give an online review of the products from this page.

i bought this devant lcd tv…ok naman ang quality, maganda at pdeng ilagay din sa wall..un ung cool doon..pero sana may website man lang ang devant para naman alam natin kung san company galing..heheh

deuts  05/20/2009 02:25 PM in reply to majo

that’s what we are all saying here.

kieziah 05/25/2009 06:00 PM

I also bought devant lcd tv yesterday. About the warranty? There is.

jr 06/01/2009 10:23 AM

bakit ang devant ay may nakatatak na sony sa likod kakaloka talaga….

deuts 06/01/2009 12:18 PM in reply to jr

Really? Well, that’s something new….

aalmasco 10/15/2009 06:14 PM

magkano pnakamabbang price?

chinese 10/16/2009 06:07 PM

hello people.. sana masagot nyo katanungan ko.. im planning to buy one tomorrow 10-17-09.. yung latest model nila n xseries yata yun, yun ang signature model nila.. i tested n unit, played some dvd movies, like “the day the earth stood still” and guess what.. maganda yung picture quality, maganda skin tone ng mga character, but when i try samsung series 3 and series 4. para ng mas ok p yung devant x series nila.. pero ang gamit n dvd player nung devant is nextbase using HDMI. yugn kaya ang dahilan kaya naging picture perfect yung image or its because of a hidden secrets of devant LCD TV. na pagandahin yung mga lalabas n image.. my question is, sa tingin nyo mas maganda kaya na mag risk ako dun sa devant…

mm15744 11/13/2009 08:24 PM

i bought devant 26 inch lcd at sm, may free na dvd player for 20,600 
so far sulit na sulit lalo na kung ang dvd na gagamitin is blue ray copy…

jBourne 11/19/2009 01:24 PM

I have a Devant 32DP800. It came with a free nextbase hdmi player. so far so good. picture quality is at par with at least samsung series 4. highly recommended for those on a tight budget who want to spend on a good performing lcd tv

heatnix18 11/19/2009 04:25 PM

Just bought a 32” model. I never got to test it at home. (may pasok kasi kinabukasan). Gagamitin ko sana siya sa Xbox 360 ko. It comes with a 1 year warranty and it’s service center is a samsung service centre near our area which is quite nice (san fernando pampanga). Like many others I tried to search the net about the company and thier product pero wala akong makita. It made me think na local company lang sya and other thing the salesman said that it was made using European Technology which gave me a little comfort. Sana di ko ito pagsisihan T_T

anonianoni 11/26/2009 04:15 PM

I also bought the same as above…Devant 32DP800, 28k, free HDMI dvd player and HDMI cable with Gold tip, 1 year warranty sa Ansons Trinoma. 2 weeks ko na sya ginagamit.. and I’m very much satisfied. I can play games with xbox 360 while watching a cable show. I forgot the name of that feature, PiP ata. Pero it’s really cool. I used that during the fight with Pacman, na sobrang haba and dami ng commercials Hahaha. Sabi sakin ng salesman (several stores), devant na raw pinakamabenta coz it’s cheap and it’s equivalent to Samsung Series 4 or latter. It also has 2 usb ports. It can play any format of videos daw (di ko pa natrtry)… even divX and mkv… which i think super plus plus sa features. Made in China sya. Hmm what else…ok din ung remote control. Very user friendly. Overall, I think it’s a good buy!!

deuts 11/26/2009 04:23 PM in reply to anonianoni

Hmmm, parang gusto ko na ibenta ang standard TV ko para bumili ng DeVant ah….

kagerger 11/28/2009 05:04 PM

i just bought my devant 32dp800 with a free dvd player @ 24k here in dagupan… ang ganda ng performance nya so far for a weeknow… best buy talaga to…

seancurtis 01/25/2010 11:24 AM

the devant is purely made in china believe me.there’s a saying God created the earth and eveything is made in china! ul get wat u pay for. if u really got d money (there’s no such thing as in a tight budget wen buying tv) i prefer u buy sharp or sanyo coz its really worth it, sony is just hiding behind its name but its still made by cheap labor. i hope u know wer it is my worried friends

deuts 01/25/2010 04:05 PM in reply to seancurtis

at least we have seen here a different insight about the product. Thanks for the comment! :D

veronilagan 01/28/2010 04:54 PM

Butterfly1979 07/19/2010 09:45 PM

i just bought 1 last saturday 32 lcd tv with free home theatre & hdmi player. mejo may hesitations ako kasi nga never heard ang brand kaso maganda yung freebies eh kaya na engganyo ako. mejo napansin ko lang is yung sa left & right edges nung screen parang nag eexpand yung picture pero kapag sinelect ko ung factory default na settings ok na. un lang kapag nag select ako ng ibang zoom setting, bumabalik na naman sa ganun. so far 1 day ko pa lang siya nagagamit & i just hope na di ako magsisi. any feedback on their warranty service? kasi doon ako mejo kinakabahan compared to other brands na kilala na.

deuts 07/20/2010 01:03 AM in reply to Butterfly1979

I don”t know, maybe someone here could help.

Eddie_gg 08/20/2010 11:42 AM

I bought Devant 32” LCD Last year April 2009. On the 2nd month nasira na, kusang lumalabas ang Source Menu…. last month may bago na naman na sira, ang volume kusa nalang babalik sa zero… Dinala ko sa Service Center….Ang parts lang aabotin na ng 9,000.00 at 2,000.00 sa labor Tsk Tsk Tsk

deuts 08/20/2010 02:32 PM in reply to Eddie_gg

it’s unfortunate to hear about that. buti ako panasonic nabili ko. hehehe

Company 03/09/2011 06:05 PM

akala nyo lang un.. sirain ang devant wala pang 1 year sira.. palagi kayang may nagbabalik sa sm nyan.. lokal brand lang kc. nagpapagawa lang sa china.. wag kayong maniniwala ng europe brand. kasi kahit mismong taga europe di alam ang devant.. kung baga sa gamot generic.. walang epekto. pangalan lang ang maganda. pero sa quality.no comment.

Arronjaveniar 05/23/2011 11:41 AM

I also bought 22” Devant LED TV at SM Makati last March alone, Last May 20, 2011 while we’re watching American Idol. it was automatically turn-off. I tried to re-open it again, it so happened that after flashing the devant Logo it turn black all over the screen. I inform SM Makati about the problem and they suggest me to bring back the unit because maybe its one of the defective unit. Grabe defective na pala binibenta pa. Sayang 13k ko.

deuts 05/23/2011 11:53 AM in reply to Arronjaveniar

I don’t own a Devant TV. But there are positive as well as negative experiences. Cguro nga swerte swerte n lng yan.
