Re: HDTV buying advice thread
btw i observed something.. even though all the papers had ads of major electronic outlets saying "Republic Day Sale" upto 60% off, all that they had done was increase the so called "MRP" and put a discount.
Almost every store i went to enquire for the c530 32" had a selling price of 34k. Only bargaining makes the price come down..
This makes me wonder, is it worth waiting for festival season to buy a TV?????

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
^Another festival season? Don't think it is a good idea. What you said is right and is preached by all retailers. Not a biggie.
I'd suggest buy one now. The next lineup would possibly hit the market by Q2 this year. i.e the Samsung D series.

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
Guys, is it a good time to buy an LCD TV now? If not how long should one wait? I just wanna buy an affordable and good 32 incher.

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
^There's no such thing as a good time esp. when electronics is concerned. If you want to buy one now, buy it right away. A newer model releases tomorrow which would make yours and mine outdated anyway so it doesn't make sense waiting.
Let us know the budget Aman and is possible follow the checklist mentioned in the first post so it would be easy for us to suggest the model(s).

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
1. Budget.
30k max.
2. Viewing distance.
10 feet
3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc.
My Laptop and A PS3/360 in the future
4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV.
Anything which is good will do.
5. Preference for brands.
Will prefer Sony and Samsung, or any other company with good A.S.S.
6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market?
Not at all.
7. Ambient lighting conditions of the room.
Dark after curtains, super bright without them.
8. Any other feature you are looking for such as 3D support on the HDTV, DLNA capabilities etc.
It should play all sorts of media from its USB port, including high def stuff and mkv files.

Re: HDTV buying advice thread
BTW thanks dude. I will let my dad know, i'll have to invest 50% of my own money though. lol.
Those 2 models play media directly off the usb right?Gannu said:Actually around 31~33k but trust me this investment is worth it. Do a demo and you'll love the display. And IINM, almost all the 32inch C530 panels are SPVA so no problems here.

^LA40C630. Some of us in the forum own the same panel as well. Pretty impressed with the performance. The panel is a SPVA one.
In your thread, you mentioned about the LE40C630, the E stands for Europe and A in the LA stands for Asia. That's the only difference between the 2 models.
