1. Budget. - 70-80K

2. Viewing distance. There is a sofa, which is about say 60 degrees from the Tv and about 6-7 feet away. and, the bed, directly opposite to the tv 90 degrees about 10-14 feet away.

3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc.: USB must, would really like if it can play mkv/avi with subs, but PQ is most important. HDMI also needed.

4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV. - Dunno what to get, recommend me something

5. Preference for brands - Sony but can opt for others too

6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market? - Would purchase it abroad, from bangkok.

7. My room (has two doors with glass panels to the veranda, DIRECT sunlight in day time, pretty bright)

8. Any other feature you are looking for such as 3D support on the HDTV, DLNA capabilities etc. : Yes, Wifi, DLNA

You can get a 40" NX720 for well within that budget in bangkok it doesn't play MKV and subs.
It does have a excellent PQ,also comes with gorilla glass with anti glare treatment.

Whether you like 3d or not. 3D tvs are usually the higher end tvs, which means their 2d performance is better then the 2d only tvs.At 6 feet distance a 46" tv will be quite large.
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

and since I would view SD content almost all the time via cable, 6 ft wouldnt be recommended at all?

For SD content bigger the tv more are the chances of tv highlighting the artifacts ,its basically shows the limitation of SD source and one can only spot it easier at closer distance.
Even the HX92 series which has the X-reality pro or the sharp kuro can't magically make a SD content as good as HD.

I would stick with 40" size for 6 feet distance especially if i am watching SD content.

OKAY GUYS:

The shop from which I buy my tv's and stuff, it says it can get me the old faithful (as per this forum) pana P42V20D for 64K. I could negotiate around say 2-3 grand maybe. So how is the price? Is it good?

Any other TV recommended? Should I get this or get the Sony 46" EX520 from Bangkok which would cost a bit more than this and travelling hassles+No warranty?

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me whats the best offer I can get for LG 55" 3DTV? (LG 55LW6500 LED TV) The MRP seems to be Rs.190,000 range (as opposed to Samsung's 55" LED 3DTV Rs.240,000). And I've seen shops offering it for Rs.164,000... which is a good price?

Samsung is an LCD and seems to be out out your budget...

I would suggest SONY 32EX520 as it is edge led and far better picture quality...

If you insist for 40 go for 40EX520...
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

hey guys i compared the KDL-40EX520 with some higher end models and found out that it does not have the MotionFlow XR 200 feature. Is this a very important feature how much difference does it make to the overall picture quality?

also had some questions like

which panels are used.

what is the refresh rate

also i have heard of some HDTVs which use Dynamic LED backlights which offer a better picture quality and less power consumption than the normal LED backlight ne ideas which models use this and there price

Thanks
