You almost paid 4K extra. But never mind you have got a thing that you wanted so desperately. Canon 550D is a fabulous camera and you can look forward to your Kerala trip.

If your budget is around 40K, go for Canon 550D. It will beat any other camera in 30 – 40K range hands down. The only real competition comes from Nikon D5100 which is latest and comes with articulated screen but it is also a little pricier. If you can increase your budget to approximately 45K...

From the models you have mentioned, I think LG E2351VR comes closest to your needs. However, as it has refresh rate of 5 ms and knowing the fact that you would be using it for gaming as well, Samsung S27A550H would be worth checking out. 27" Full HD screen comes with HDMI port and has a 2 ms...

Good to know that. Somewhere around this forum I read the hard drive prices have doubled recently as the balance between production and consumption has gone for a toss but now we can expect the prices to get back to normal soon.

I think you should go for Sony Vaio VPCSB25FGB. At 13.3" and 1.72 Kg it is easily portable. It includes dedicated video memory, 500 GB Hard Drive and is LED back-lit. Could be a better choice than the rest of the laptops you have listed.

Hard Drives from Seagate are good and for approximately 4.5K, you can have Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002. It is 500 GB HDD and works at 7200 RPM.

Samsung LA26D481G4 is a 26" LCD TV that you can get for approximately 20K. The resolution of this TV is 1366X768 and comes with inbuilt USB 2.0 port. 1366X768 resolution will allow you to play HD content but if the streaming movies are not in HD you will see black borders on the sides.

We sometimes under estimate the importance of battery life while it is one of the most important aspect of any device which runs on battery. Advancement in technology is fine but unless batteries are improved, we cannot utilize the potential of a device to the fullest.

Canon PowerShot SX130 IS could still be a better choice. 2 Mega pixel increase in Canon PowerShot SX150 IS is not going to do much in terms of picture quality. It will only render more noise in your pictures at higher ISOs.

Often 21.5" monitor is not a necessity and 18.5" monitor seems to do the job well enough. Even if the price difference between both monitors is not big, one should go for a bigger monitor only if it is actually a requirement.

HD and HDMI have already been explained well in this thread. As far as LED monitor is concerned, you can get Samsung S19A300N under 7K. It is 18.5" LED monitor with 1366X768 screen resolution, 250cd/m² brightness and 5 ms response time. HDMI port is increasingly getting common in budget models...

Most of the fluctuations must be due to the faulty UPS or probably the battery life is over and it is not retaining charge any more. Working like that could be hazardous for electronic components in your system. It is advisable to replace your UPS or battery in case you could not get rid of...

True, for a 7000 rupees phone, you can't get a better deal than Samsung Galaxy Y. Dimensions make it quite a good phone to handle. Latest Android OS, 800 MHz processor and 1200 mAh battery makes it one of the best budget models in the market today.

Good to see Optimus Net from LG but could have done better by keeping its weight down to around 100 grams and I think a 5 MP auto focus camera is a must in a 10,000 rupees phone.

Good news for the Android users. Hopefully devices having older versions of Android should shed their prices a bit. It is a win-win situation anyway. Android is getting better since its emergence.
