    Best Budget Tv under 40k

    Got this one. I didn't like the picture quality out of the box. Brought down brightness/contrast/sharpness a lot and the picture quality is now more than ok. Blacks are quite deep since this is a DLED. Upscaling is not up to the mark. 720p TV series (Friends) looked quite artificial. I don't...

    Best Budget Tv under 40k

    I bought a VU TV after my Plasma died. Haven't checked others. VU TV is ok, but I've been using it only in the last week, so can't recommend wholeheartedly.

    Best Budget Tv under 40k

    Plasmas are completely phased out. Brands like LG/Sony would definitely be better when it comes to picture quality. Buying a VU TV depends on how much you are willing to compromise. If possible take a demo of all the TVs and decide.

    Best Budget Tv under 40k

    Don't buy a Plasma. They are not produced anymore and you won't get spares in case of a failure. VU TV is quite good, but support is a question.

    please suggest a best >= 48" TV

    There are no Plasma's produced anymore. Whatever you find would be a left over stock. My LG Plasma conked off and LG simply said they don't have any spare panels to replace.

    Buying Laptop From The US - Some Queries.

    Nothing much actually. I sent the flipkart invoice of the mobile to Fedex first and still the mobile was held. Then I sent a letter to the commissioner of customs along with the invoice, declaring that I'm not importing the mobile, but simply getting it back from my relative. Had to do a lot of...

    Buying Laptop From The US - Some Queries.

    To prevent India from becoming a dumping ground of used electronics. Don't laugh, that's what the Fedex guy told me.

    Buying Laptop From The US - Some Queries.

    Importing used electronics is strictly prohibited. My BIL sent me a used mobile (which was bought in India) through Fedex and it was stuck in customs. After a bit of struggle, I managed to clear it from the customs. Try to get a relative or friend to bring it with them during their next Indian...

    31-40k HTPC with 5.1

    You can use Foobar (audio player) with WASAPI to bitstream stereo music to your receiver which will decode FLAC/HD audio with it's in-built DAC. I'm telling you this because going for an internal audio card is redundant when you have a very good DAC in Yamaha receiver. Try this option first and...

    31-40k HTPC with 5.1

    Why would you go for an internal sound card when you have a top of the line AV receiver? If you are using an entry/mid-level AVR, then a pre-pro (sound card) might give better output. But AX-840 has a lot of power and offloading the processing part doesn't make a big difference, I think.

    WD TV Live-Unable to play MKV files

    Most probably it might be due to header compression in the mkv file. Use Mkvinfo to find if the MKV has header compression. You can fix this using mkvtoolnix then.

    Customs Clearance issue in Bangalore - Suggestions/help please

    My brother in law sent me a mobile (Moto G) through Fedex from US. It was bought in India and my BIL was using it as a spare phone during his last Indian visit. He took it with him to US and sent it back to me last week. Now Bangalore customs office had held the shipment saying used...

    (NO GPUs) 'How much can I sell this for?' thread

    Thanks. That's what I did before asking here and even posted an ad in olx, but I haven't had any offers. I'm not sure if I had overpriced it, hence checking here.

    (NO GPUs) 'How much can I sell this for?' thread

    Not sure if a CRT TV would fit this thread. However, how much I can expect for a 6 year old Sony Wega 29" TV (with replacement remote)?
