Hi I want to buy 2 LCD tv's. I am total newbie here and already got lost twice in the official sony/samsung site . will be grateful If anyone can help

TV1-living room Tv2: Bedroom

1. Budget.: 50-60k(for TV1) 15-20k (For TV2)

2. Viewing distance.:TV1 6-8 feet for tv1: I think 32" or 40" max
TV2 4-6 feet I think 22" (Max)
3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc.:
a) want to be able to plonk in portable hard disk/pen drive and play movies
need div x and xvid support and if possible matroska container
b) Internet video: Mainly youtube support with search facility?

c) av component in so that I can connect my handycam and watch the recorded footage

d)hdmi is standard now I think
4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV.

Any

5. Preference for brands.

Mainly Sony, will consider Samsung if exceptionally good deal.

6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market?

Ordering from China.If good deals in India then TV1 I will buy from India only
Tv2 that is the smaller one maybe I will buy locally but with warranty.

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

Will be mainly used for watching standard Content.So I need a TV that can show SD Cable broadcast real well.
For the smaller TV It doesnt matter ,But the larger TV needs to be fullHD
Mainly The TV's will be used for
>News
>Cricket,soccer
>occasional movies
>occasional youtubing
 
If you want maximum format supported via usb you have to go with samsung.
In the Sony lcds only the low end models such as the BX series support most video formats.The lcds based on the new X-reality picture processing doesn't support MKV and afaik it only supports mpeg1,2,4, divx/avi,WMV and AVHCD ,if you have a handycam i believe it records in AVHCD.

You can go for the samsung D5500 smart tv or the Sony EX520 and in china you could get a EX720.
For the smaller tv you can probably get a sony 32BX320 in the grey market.
