Planning to kick out my old CRT in my bedroom and want to finally jump onto the LCD side. My viewing distance would be at least 15 feet, approximately. As I understand, 720p would be enough for a 32" TV right?

My main usage would be for movies and games. I need 3 HDMI slots and can't compromise on it. Also, I don't have a lavish budget, so anything in 23k range would be fine. I was eyeing on this model from Panasonic: Panasonic Viera 32 Inches HD LCD TH-L32X24D

How are Panasonic LCD's in terms of clarity? Should I order it online or local stores would be preferred?
 
Best thing for you to do is to visit a local store and compare the various TVs... personally i felt that the panasonic ones had lesser clarity. Even toshiba was way better
 
Panasonic IPS panels have been recieving favourable feedbacks lately. I wonder whether they are better than sony's or samsung's

May be #sunnyboi can pitch in here

I was curious as even the manufacturers website doesnt make a mention of the same!

But another model from LG 32LV3500 price at 34K, has clearly mentioned its an IPS panel. Price is from FlipKart.

Have a look at Pansonic L32U30D. Priced at 28k slightly above your budget. But then this a FHD with IPS alpha panel. I havent seen any reviws as such but was curious myself to pick up this. any users please comment!
 
Full HD isn't a necessity for me, since I most of my HD content is usually 720p anyway; both console gaming and videos. So I can sacrifice on that aspect.

Absolutely! That's what I have always done in all my previous Television purchases. However, I'm not sure what discounts would be offered at shops, as opposed to online.

Is LG a good brand? I have always had negative reservations towards it.

The Panasonic model I have listed above, too, doesn't have listing of it, on the official website. Perhaps, they have phased out the model. L32U30D is out of my budget.
 
I really liked Panasonic LCDs. They had really good PQ and good dark levels although the DCR on it is only 20,000. I stopped worrying about DCR lately!

All panasonic models are DLNA enabled and comes with an ethernet port. check if you can get 3 years warranty on them.
 
i bought a toshiba 32inch for 16000. i'm happy with it though connectivity is low(1hdmi).compare it with others and buy
 
AFAIK, Sony employees gets some employee discount.

Something like 40% + on selected models - circulated to them in the starting of every month.

If anybody knows any sony employee - it worth a shot to ask about it.

JFYI, thread-jacking isn't exactly considered a good forum etiquette.
 
Just bumping this up for an update:

I just made trip to Croma this morning to see if I could get an up-close look at the Panasonic TH-L32U20 LCD model (selling for Tradus @19k) and watch it in action. Unfortunately, this is a very dated model and they only had the TH-L32U30, which had a standard cable channel being played and it looked absolutely horrendous. But then something else caught my eye, a 40-inch VU LC40V86P model, which had a price tag of 30k and had amazing picture quality. However, I had barely heard about this brand and never seen anyone recommending it either, so was wondering if it would be a risky choice. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Vu Technologies
 
I think VU uses IPS panels. I think i read a review of that 40inch tv on some site (tech2 i guess) which said it was not that sharp compared to tv's from Samsung/Sony. The picture turned a bit of blurry when noise reduction was turned on in the tv.
