Which of the 5500s? LG/Sammy?

[Kevin Lane]

Hey Guys,

My bro wants to buy an LED 40/42 incher this Diwali. We have shortlisted the two 5500s. Pl suggest which of the two to go for. I am leaning towards Sammy. But, Will decide on feedback of people who are using it.

Thanx inadvance.

Well between the two i would go with the samsung D5500,you can also add the EX520 to the list which is slightly better in IQ but looses out in number of media formats supported in USB.

Go for LG & get it from an LG-Shoppe in your area. You can bargain & get it for 10-20% off on it's MRP. Check out exchange offer's + LG is throwing a few freebies during Diwali. Now in case you do not want those freebies, ask the dealer to further reduce the price

Go for Samsung if you need media playing capabilities. It almost played all the formats I tried. Price should be around 59-60K.

hi,

even i m looking for a 40 - 42' HDTV .......as compared to sony / samsung the price of LG is comparatively less .....

but what about the picture quality is there a huge difference in picture quality as comapred to samsung/sony?

Or is there a very small difference and is not at all worth the extra money that you have to pay for it ....?

And samsung / sony are charging extra just becasue of their brand names

how is the picture quality as compared to plasmas ? as they are also cheaper.

PQ of LG esp HD is stunning.

Brand conscious folks will always have to pay more to get what "they feel" is also a better product - and "feelings" are often subjective

The best Plasma models by Panasonic [THX certified] are not yet launched in India. LCD technology is on it's way out & LED is the future [at least for the next 5-10 years].

Although i will be buying an HD set top box but still the HD content is less as not all the channels are available in HD ..

So majority of the content will be SD .... so how is the SD performance of the LED tv from LG

are not yet launched in India. LCD technology is on it's way out & LED is the future [at least for the next 5-10 years].

Any idea when panasonic will be launching this plasmas and there pricing

Lg has good screen size: price ratio.But compared to tvs from sony/samsung they are still lacking in the image processing department,they also have rather poor contrast compared to those two brands and as far as lg lcd/led comparision to a plasma they loose big time in terms of contrast.

While some LG tvs are really good like their local dimming models ,other models such as lcds and edge lit led-lcd are just average,they do however have the passive 3d tech,they also have better viewing angle compared to Sony/samsung tvs(except perhaps the really high end ones)
