Hi,
I am planning to buy 32" or 42" or both TV this month if price is good.
1. Budget. : 30-35k (for 32" LCD/LED) / 60k (LED/ 3D LED)

2. Viewing distance. : 6-7 ft

3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc. : Hathway Digital/ acryan media player/

4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV. : LCD/ LED for 32" / LED/ 3D LED for 42"

5. Preference for brands. : 32" (Samsung/ Sony)/ 42" ( LG if 3D/ Samsung if 2D)

6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market? Yes

7. Ambient lighting conditions of the room. : Normal
I am planning to go in for 32" TV for one of my room. Following are my consideration/ query:
1) Should I go in for LCD/ LED. At 32" does LCD/ LED make any difference? ( electricity consumption/ picture quality)
2) Does HD or HD ready also make much difference in 32".
I am planning for 40"-42" TV (full HD) for drawing room. Following are my consideration/ query:
I am confused between 3D and non 3D TV. If some one is having 3D TV can he please share his experience. Is it worth the hype and extra money. In Indian scenario, how well is 2D to 3D conversion of normal Indian channel progs (HD and non HD).
If I go in for 3D, would prefer LG 42LW5700, if 2D than Samsung TV, not sure about the model.

In 42" category I would prefer features such as smart TV, browser, DLNA.

Please suggest me the TV model in each category and help me in clearing my confusion. Also if some one can help me with good shop in gaffar mkt, Delhi (can also PM me with address/ contact number)
 
^^ Yes, I am aware that LG 42LW5700 cost approx 76k. But I would not mind purchasing it from grey market, where price will be lesser. Wonder if any one has any idea on approx cost of this model in grey market.

Moreover, I also want to know from current 3D TV users on their experience in Indian context. IS 3D TV really worth in long run and about 2D to 3D conversion?
 
I don't want to go in for plasma. At 42" I would prefer 3D or non 3D LED. Can someone who is using 3D TV please let me know if it is worth (for watching Indian TV and movies available) or should I just go in for normal LED.

Any one who is using LG 3D TV ( have read that LG passive 3D technology is better than Samsung active 3D technology)

Guess have to forgo 32" for now and add money for it on 42" :(
 
One of the main reason for not going for plasma is what scudmissile007 mentioned above, high power consumption. Also plasma TV have higher screen burns and shorter life.

I currently have 29" Samsung flatron TV since last 7 years. I intend to use my new TV for atlest these many years. Plasma, what I have read, are already obsolete and would be phased out sooner than later.
 
Well since you are willing to buy from the grey market for 32" you can get the Sony EX520 or samsung D5000.
 
few of our neighbors ( similar house) are using 40-42" TV, and they are ok with it. My basic question is:
1) 3D or non 3D TV in Indian context

2) Which 3D and non 3D model?

3) feedback of those who are already using 3D TV
