Re: HDTV buying advice thread
Could someone share the latest price of Samsung 40C530? I was getting it on Diwali for 45k and need to know if the price has gone down. Also not much difference between Samsung C550 and 530, does that make 550 a better buy. Keep in mind I have an HTPC that would be connected to my LCD.
On a seperate note, do Plasmas make good PC monitors... my current setup is Samsung LCD connected to my HTPC. I sit at a distance of 8 feet and browse internet, watch movies etc from my bed. Need to replicate the same in new setup and leaning on LCD. Only reason for asking about a Plasma is that I save 10k...

Renegade : all those retail chains have prices inflated but they succumb to bargain pressure
. Bargain your heart out.
On Diwali, Croma gave us 65k listed samsung 40C630 at 58k. so you should be able to bring it down to 50k atleast.

Besides there isn't much of difference in price compared to the 40".
The Panasonic may use a Lg IPS panel .As with IPS tech they have good viewing angle which is great for monitors,camera etc but for watching videos a tv with high contrast is better ,which means you get more depth in the image apart from deep blacks.
The image processing in the samsung and Sony are one of the best.
+1 they can also come with SMVA panels which are even worse.Desecrator said:

After reading the earlier posts it seems Samsung LA32C530 is a really good deal for 32'' one. But I was wondering if anyone has any experience on LA32C550? I am sure that I won't be investing in a new TV for next 6-8 yrs. So want to make sure that I am going to buy the one which is good one even if it costs slightly more. Will there be any noticeable difference in them?
Is it true that both of above don't have HDTV tuner built-in? We may not need it now, but won't that be bad if DD starts terrestrial HD broadcasting in future?
Also if any one from Pune has brought one of the above, can you please give me an advice about shops where it is cheaper?

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
Have you checked the playback of media through the USB port? It plays a whole lot of files.
Actually you need to fiddle around until you get the colors straight. There is a thread on avsforums wherein many professionals have used a calibration tool to get the colors right. I shall post the link later.DarkAngel said:
