FYR : Sony sales person @ sony center (Ghatkopar, Mumbai) mentioned about freebies (3D glasses) during Navratri and Diwali season.
He suggested me to wait until 12th October.

Thanks, Sony models are on my list too. I may get it online only most probably Paytm as they had good offers with extended warranty during Ganesh Festival.

Actually I preferred to wait to get some good offers & from Navratri 13 Oct. till Diwali end 13th Nov. is the best period.

Re: Advice on 32" Full HD or HD Ready Television & best 2 channel powered speakers for television us

Guys out of the following two televisions which would be best buy & why?

LG 32LF560T
LG 32LF560T - Full HD LED TV with Smart Mobile Link | LG India

Sony KLV-32R562C
*www.sony.co.in/product/klv-32r562c

I personally liked PQ of Sony but never had chance to compare both models side by side in showroom.
LG has advantage of Flexible Wall mount which would cost 2k-2.5k if I choose to go for Sony LED. In this amount I can get +2 years warranty from sony. Television should be durable,sturdy & long lasting. Out of the two which would be more future proof model?

Both the television could be sourced from Paytm around 25000 to 28000 with one year warranty as per cashback offer.

1) Is the LG model have Web OS ? Bcoz the non-webos TVs UI is hideous.
2)LG charge for Demo,Installation and Wall mounting if bought from Online.My cousin bought LG 32LF6300 - Full HD Smart TV with Web OS 2.0 | LG Electronics In (for 32k.Try this model if you can stretch your budget.Its really good and the included Magic remote works wonderfully ) from Amazon and we had to install it ourself(We did not wall mount it).
3)LG extended warranty is costlier than Sony I think.Confirm it.
4)Sony R series Tv are manufactured by Foxconn and supposed to have quality issues according to avforum. Link-*www.avforums.com/threads/sony-2015-full-hd-2015-w80-75-70c.1937303/.If its ok Sony with extended warranty looks like a better choice.

Sorry that I couldn't complete as accidentally pressed send button while traveling back home.

Finally booked Philips 40 PFL4650 @30k without any exchange & got 5 years comprehensive brand warranty from *www.kohinoortv.com/ Malad store.


LED TV 40PFL4650/V7 | Philips


Almost had finalized to get Panasonic 42C410 42 inch IPS superbright plus with 3 yrs warranty on 11th October.

TH-42C410D LED LCD TV - Panasonic India

In fact on 14th would have booked from paytm in 10k cashback offer but my PSU bank rejected the transaction as they do not honour debit card transactions above 25k. Later the same day offer ended on that model & had to wait till yesterday i.e. 28th October.
In between while checking out for some other better offers offline we got to compare Philips & Panasonic side by side in 2-3 showrooms. Panasonic's brighness was superb but it failed to reproduce colours & skin tones to our liking & moreover it lacked format support(saved my immediate investment for BlueRay Player). The UI of panasonic felt dead slow compared to Philips 2015 series. Colours were overtly saturated & somewhat unreal for my preference.
SD channels felt bit more fuzzy to my eyes when compared to Philips models.
It also lacked headphones out.

Considering all these points I took my call yesterday i.e. 28th October & after hard bargain settled in for Philips 40 PFL4650 by paying 1k advance.

Its not that Panasonic 42C410 is bad but did not felt VFM @42k actual price even though I would have got it for @32k net pricing after 10k cashback in paytm wallet. I was not comfortable waiting for Cashback & keeping it blocked in paytm wallet. So instead I preferred to book some other household appliances from the same store.

Thanks to all my friends & fellow members [MENTION=85950]Gollum[/MENTION] [MENTION=125133]Minion[/MENTION], [MENTION=120775]GhorMaanas[/MENTION] & others who help me & had patience to answer to my queries in forum thread as well as private messages.

Thanks again. :)

Re: Advice on 32" Full HD or HD Ready Television & best 2 channel powered speakers for television us

Should I get voltage stabilizer/ surge protector for my led tv?
Sony & LG are shouting loud about their 4 way or 6 way protection.
Is it necessary in metro cities? Or just marketing techniques?

Did not see anything on box. The package is still not opened. Waiting for installation.


Any pointers for dth dish tv or tatasky or airtel ?
Need best picture quality in SD as well as HD

Re: Advice on 32" Full HD or HD Ready Television & best 2 channel powered speakers for television us

The television was installed on Monday but could not take pics while unboxing as was not at home. Will update with pics later on.

The installer did decent job & Philips customer care was prompt to react. He told voltage stabilizer/surge protector not needed but I may purchase v-guard stabilizer later on as suggested by [MENTION=85950]Gollum[/MENTION] & [MENTION=125133]Minion[/MENTION].

For DTH Airtel was in mind but in the end selected Tatasky for their Service & HD count [Mega HD Pack @8600]. Dish TV is almost non existent in our locality & felt costlier for their max package.

Thanks to all.


Would like to continue here for seeking advice on speakers for my LED.

Anyone tried connecting 5.1 speaker sets to LED TV?

Edifier DA 5000 pro is appealing @7999 but from shopclues.com
I do not intend to buy any Blue ray/ Media player soon so wanted speaker set to be directly connected to TV Or Tatasky HD box which has optical/SPDIF out along with normal AV out.

There isn't any 5.1 speaker that supports 5.1 digital input via HDMI or SPDIF or Coaxial.
You need to buy an AV receiver and spearkers
You can buy a 2.1 channel speaker and connect it to the tv's headphone out. This way you can control the volume level with the TV remote.

Re: Advice on 32" Full HD or HD Ready Television & best 2 channel powered speakers for television us

Ok sir will try connecting my edifier c2 first. If I am not mistaken edifier da 5000 pro has AV in & 3.5mm pc input in subwoofer unit. The sub of da 5000 pro has in built amplifier & all speakers are connected to it. So I guess all speakers may be powered but not sure if output & effects will be loud enough.

Will I be able to control volume through tv if connected using av cable?

bro, its like this.
headphone out volume level is controlled by tv remote
so, any speaker/headphone connected to this output will have its volume controllable via the tv remote.

if u connect the speaker to the dth set top box, then you will not be able to control the volume.
