I think I could consider myself really unlucky with electronics this year. I bought my mother an EEE PC netbook which, after 9 days had a noisy fan and the store didnt want to have it replace or refunded.. But thats a different story.. This is about my LCD TV problems. I got an HSBC credit card for 2 reasons. 1: the Caltex rebate and 2: the MyScreen LCD TV. You could scroll down and skip this back story and head to the "Testing the TV: Here Comes the Bad Part" if you're not particular with my reasons in buying the TV. If you're interested with why I got it, carry on. Reasons The MyScreen MYS-22 (22 inch) TV is priced 11,500 pesos thru the promo of HSBC.

Given the prices from the PCX price list: 4910 pesos for a 1Terabyte Seagate SATA 16mb 7720 pesos for a 1.5Terabyte Seagate SATA 32mb So, if you have a 1000 Gig (~1TB) drive for 4910 Pesos what you need to do is just divide the amount by the size of the drive. 4910 / 1000 = 4.91 Pesos per Gigabyte whereas 7720 / 1500 = 5.15 Pesos per Gigabyte Its safe to say that for the price to space ratio, you would get a better deal if you buy the 1TB drive rather than the 1.5TB drive. Though you might want to hold off buying a Seagate for this...
