You will only be able to get a 40" LED TV in your budget, if you want to have a 46" then you need to increase your budget to around 75-90k.
Now first let us know what you want then we suggest you.

Ya i can stretch my budget only if needed.
I am confused between Plasma lcd and led....

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
i won't exactly recommend a plasma TV for gaming (even though its high refresh-rate is a boon for gaming). although plasma is good for movie-viewing pleasure, but due to its filter, games are rendered less-bright, which tends to maim the vividness in the games, and details (in shadows particularly). perhaps new 2012-2013 models may have a brighter-display (particularly in samsung plasmas). but i can certainly recommend you to get an LED-LCD TV (based on your prime-requirement)! if you still are confused or unsatisfied, i'll suggest you to take a console with you to a showroom (or of any of your friend's, if you don't have one right now) and compare the display by connecting it to some plasmas and some LED-LCDs. panasonic plasmas purportedly have a better filter, hence as compared to samsung plasmas, you may feel that the brightness is a little low, but i may be wrong too in case of newer plasmas. but do this! check the display on a few TVs of both the types by connecting your console.

Others say that plasma uses real black and white colour and are good in darker places. And i heard that they suffer from burn in issues. Is that true????
Suggest a model which you think is the best for consoles.
I want 1080p tv because i have alot of movies which are bluray and 1080p. so

Active Shutter Progressive 3D
600Hz Sub-field Drive
3,500,000:1 Native Contrast

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
It is written above that it has a 600hz sub field drive which I don't think means that it is a 600Hz refresh rate TV.
Better get a good LED TV instead of getting a plasma but remember that it will cost you a boom.
For an example you can check out the price of Sony HX750, its price is too high and will not be in your mentioned budget.

As Anant has replied above, 600Hz sub-field drive concept is a little different from 600Hz refresh rate, but anyway, its good for gaming.
but still, LED-LCDs are brighter any day, and the colours are more vivid on them, settings on which games would look simply beautiful!

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
Plasma may suffer from burn in if there is a static image for a long time displayed on screen. So I'd probably not suggest a plasma. XT50 is 720p, yes.
Both HX750 and ES6200 are good
But you might wanna wait for 2013 Bravia model W802A which is a replacement for HX750 with Passive 3D and IPS panel with Dynamic EDGE LED.
Or alternatively you could for 2013 equivalent Samsung - F6400.

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
newer plasmas have not reported issues of burning in as they have counter-acting features, though yes, what you may usually get is IR (Image Retention), and this fades off after some time. even LCDs and CRTs are prone to burn-in.
but yes, for gaming, the reasons i have specified alone should suffice for you to purchase an LED-LCD TV. adding to this, i'll again say that plasmas are meant more for movie-enthusiasts who like to view HD movies/content in natural hue and colours, whereas for casual-viewing (including SD content) and gaming, artificial colour reproduction is what pleases the eye more.

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
yes. as rightly said by randomuser, you may get those. if am correct, panasonic plasma series go like VT > GT > ST > UT > XT, with VT series being the topmost quality. chk some from samsung stables too, like 51ES800 & 51P8000 (though these are competitors to 50VT50 & 50UT50 of panasonic and hence of high-value, and also rare to find, but still search. most probably the cost must've reduced now), and 51E550 (competitor to 50UT50). and if you are not too keen for 50 inchers, then 42ST50 it is!
BTW, may we know from what distance are you going to watch the TV?

Then I think you should pick 42ST50. For blurays, ST50 will truly shine.

Re: Best TV for XBox 360 & Ps3
the PQ of UT50 and ST50 are most probably not too different, and almost equivalent. the ST50 has got a better filter, which translates to a bit of loss in brightness. so i think you should go with UT50. i hope you don't have windows in front of your TV-placement area? if you do, then please cover them with drapes. and if not, make sure you control the lighting in your hall.
the distance is almost perfect for viewing movies/playing games on a 50 incher.
the dealer probably is telling the cost including some freebies too (?!). in that price, you could easily get 42ST50 IMO. infibeam is a trustworthy site (for small items), but it has now become like tradus, where sellers list their items. i think for small items, buying online is good, but for such a big thing as a TV, you should refrain buying online. moreover, its been garnering some negative feedback too since some time. for books and cheaper stuff, its good. but even if you get this TV for a little more costly locally, you should buy it from that local store instead from infibeam or other sites. i'll suggest to look for more local-options/dealers and haggle. let us know where you stay at. may be we could let you know if there's a better deal available anywhere near your area. chennai has some pretty good deals on panasonic TVs. but don't know where are you located.
also, do check a few samsung plasma sets, with showroom lights on and off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but i say again - if your gaming-hours are going to be much more than movie-watching hours, buy an LED-LCD TV (better for gaming & static content)!
LG's 42LM6410 is a good one, with some features included for gaming. LG also reportedly has a good customer-service.

The two models i.e.

Samsung UA40ES6200E
which you have chosen are really good.
Pick anyone among them

Not really. The ST50 is amongst the best TVs ever in terms of PQ. It's black level is almost the same as VT50.
You won't find difference between UT and ST if all you watch is DTH and DVD. But for Blurays ST is definitely noticeably superior.

You'll only get 32 inch with 3D in that budget.
