when will this thread get stickied ?

comp@ddict is updating the thread non-stop.
Not that it needs sticking , but it deserves it.

@ tkin - Yup, It's still overpriced compared to the performance it offers
BTW, it performs well in DX11 only so we may find some value in it ( though the point remains - any single DX11 game - anyone ? )

Where do you stay?

Mumbai

What is the viewing distance for the TV? Primary usage? Movies? Games, Channels?

Primary=Channels, Secondary=Movies from USB drive.
Viewing distande is 6 to 10 feet. you know small space n already have a seperate space for TV(corner of a room and about 5 feet from the floor) change in space is not an option.

Depends on what you need. Yes, 26" will have better picture quality AFAIK.

Indeed 26" are better. As suggested by you guys I went to the store to check it personally, and got more confused.
Saw LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Benq, videocon and LLOYD(I think new company)
To my suprise, Panasonic and Sharp where by far way better than others in 26 and 32 (also in higher sizes).

This doesn't matter really. Check out viewing angles yourself in stores. I see on mine and it really is watchable at all the widest angles.

Which one do you own, probably model no. and price (and resolution too please, if you dont mind)

I think OP has a budget, how can he get the 26" when some 22" models are overkill for his budget?

deep breath.... yes budget started from 15K(not exactly;ok dont laugh actually started from 8k for Slim TV. but when I saw that its not that slim as compared to what I have now. And if I increase my budget to 15k I can go for LCD TV like LG M237WA) inclreased by 2k and now you friends are asking to further increase

Why I am stressing on viewing angle?
LCD TV will be kept at a height and will also be watched by sitting on the floor which will make horizontal as well as vertical(downward angle).
I have noticed that, when seen from vertical downward angle, LCD screen appear as negative to almost black. This problem is not there in panasonic at all and to some extent in Sharp, which are not falling in my budget.

Also checked the LG's M237WA Full HD(1920 x 1080) whereas, all others were (1366x768 ) .As this one was on diff. floor(section) could not compare it with other LCD TVs.
what do you guys think about M237WA?

forgot to mention about the Samsung JAZZ...
26" was not there but 22" was. but it did not impress at all, viewing angle also not good.

Good, no worries about lack of stores then. Look at Alfa, Vile Parle West for lower rates.

Pretty basic needs. Even 22" shall do these with nice picture quality. IMO 10 feet is the minimum viewing distance for 32" TV's, so they are out of the picture already. 26" would be near the sweet spot, but I still say that for your needs 22" are pretty good. If you want to, then go for the 26", but no need for a 32".

Picture quality perceived is different from eye to eye sometimes. Often I can see blurs in a monitor that not many others notice. So choose as per your needs. Among those two, I would choose Panasonic.

LG 26LH20 @ 20.7k after exchange with old CRT 14" for about 1.5k.

No, I did not ask for further increase any time.

For a height of 5 feet above ground as you said, I strongly suggest you avoid a downward angle. It harms eyesight to say the least. Please avoid such viewing angles.

Also checked the LG's M237WA Full HD(1920 x 1080) whereas, all others were (1366x768 ) .As this one was on diff. floor(section) could not compare it with other LCD TVs.

Unless you plan to watch movies which are minimum 1080p, a 1366x768 resolution is as good as 1920x1080 IMO. The full hd gimmick need not be subscribed to by those who are not into watching 1080p movies.

Jazz is LG territory AFAIK, no clue about Samsung Jazz.

@topgear

dont you sleep at night?

 

[royal]

can somebody help me here...

My older machine has MSI 915G Neo2 Platinum mobo...

It supports DDR2 400/533 RAM. Now all I am getting is crappy Hynix/Zion and that too at a hefty price . My current RIG has Corsair modules but sadly I am not getting 533 from Corsair Seems all good brand like Corsair/OCZ/Patriot stopped making 533 long back

Is there any store/shop out there from where I can get a decent deal? I am from Kolkata

 

[desiibond]

check with Amarbir (lynx-india) and Rahul (itwares)

 

[royal]

well everywhere it starts from 667 at least

 

[saqib_khan]

Just want a quick suggestion: Is it worth to buy Gigabyte Superb 460w ? Because I dont find any reviews by searching Google also.

 

[Krow]

Depends on the system, but it is a good PSU. 80+ and active PFC, although it is overrated. Its actually more like a 400W unit. But its superb VFM @ 2.2k.

 

[saqib_khan]

I dont know how it is said as 80+ PSU. Whats the proof of this. Even on the official page, there is not anything written like that.

I am not just argumenting you, but everyone is saying it has 80+ efficiency. But whats the source of this information I dont know.

*www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=6527

This is where I saw it. I'll google more. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[saqib_khan]

^^Yes, thats where I too saw. But it could be a marketing trick also. There's no other proof that its efficiency is 80+.
