Hi Guys,
With Diwali on its way and sales abound, I'm looking for a 32" HDTV with Full HD (1080p). Unfortunately, I'm looking for a budget model.
Please suggest models and shops where available (Delhi). I am hoping this thread will help others as well.
1. Budget.
Max 25k. The closer to 20k the better
2. Viewing distance.
It's for my living room, so 8-10 feet approx.
3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc.
HD-DTH, Computer HDMI out, Tablet mini-HDMI out
Hoping for atleast 2 HDMI ports
4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV.
At my price, only LCD would come in. If a decent LED is possible, then christmas would have come early
5. Preference for brands.
A-list brands (Sony, LG, Sammy) probably won't be available for me.
Hoping I can get one in the B-List (Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic) How is Akai? Please recommend.
Would want to stay away from the dustbin brands - Videocon, Onida, Mitashi, chinese made.
6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market?
Would consider Gaffar (I live in Delhi).
I am hoping to pay via my credit card on a Diwali 0% EMI scheme by the manufacturers; but if the offer in the grey market is very good, I won't mind putting it on the CC EMI scheme with the extra Rs 500 charge.
7. Ambient lighting conditions of the room.
Normal - tubelight / CFL, daylight
8. Any other feature you are looking for such as 3D support on the HDTV, DLNA capabilities etc.
Beggars cant be choosers :ashamed:
Models that I have looked at online already (Reviews for these would be appreciated)Akai 32P40 Flipkart
Please suggest models.
Thanks,
P
