40 inch full HD 3 D Samsung 40F6100 from ebay for 43k should be considered.
Though this comes with a dealer warranty- i have purchased 4 Samsung LEDs from ebay during last one year--never had any prob..the savings are over 40% over Indian price.

Aren't you considering Plasmas? Apart from being less bright that what leds are, they have better picture quality viewing angles etc.
From what I have read, Panasonic is pioneer in plasmas and ST60 series is the only television to get 5 stars. Minimum is 50 inch. If that doesn't suit your requirement look into s60 which is a lesser model with 42 inch availability

I wouldn't recommend a plasma for your application which includes PC and gaming and your lighting condition.My budget is 50k +\- 5k.
In that I dont think i will get a 50" plasma
If you want high contrast stick the Samsung as far as what panel they come with,one can only tell once you receive your tv.

You might. I was quoted 36k for a LG 42" plasma with more discount available once I was sure to place the order.

Plasma's come with a host of problems. Get a 42inch LCD.
LG makes some good panels. Samsung is a lottery, Sony comes with its compromises. LG is a good bargain between both.

slight correction there - plasmas don't COME with a host of problems, rather, they demand a little bit of care, esp. more in the few weeks that follow the purchase-date.
m-jeri, since gaming is important for you (even if for 20% of the time), plus factoring in the situation of the TV being consistently used as a monitor to your PC, you should go ahead with an LED/LED-LCD TV. and i know that you are an HFV-member as well; i hope you've created a thread there too?! you should get a better & well-informed-response there (though the response here is good too), not forgetting the prospect of getting to read up on a wealth of good info on the subject there, as indicated by the first reply to your query in this thread of yours here!!
