    I bought the TV from Gaffar market. It is better than Micromax full HD and other TVs available in stores for the same price. The only down side is that it doesn't come with a warranty. The guy in Gaffar was also selling Samsung 2 year warranty for~3500, but I decided not to take it as these TVs...

    FULL HD LED TV

    I just bought Samasung J5100 50 inches from Gaffar Market for 37k. It looks great but doesn't come with a warranty, but for the price I am not complaining. You can pay 3500 extra and get a 2 year Samsung warranty with the company warranty card and everything.

    31-40k HTPC with 5.1

    AVR's are able to drive speakers better if they are connected with a Pre-amp which does all the sound processing for them. It is the same in my case.

    I do not think Raspberry Pi will suit my needs because I would use a sound card with Digital to Analog Conversion (DAC). I will be using Monitor Audio MR6 floorstanders with center and surrounds of the same series. I am pairing this setup with SVS PB-1000 subwoofer. My AVR will be Yamaha AX-840...
