So are you going for 32" or 40"?

 

[naveen_reloaded]

37" doesnt come normally it seems... visited theshop and they told me...

i have to order and wait... which i cant right now..( my moom will change her mind and may get me 500 Rs gaming console )

and since e32" seems small... compared to 40... i am going for 40 " instead.. last minute change in plan..

i have no other go..
i am also getting it thru installment... 8 months duuration...

^^all ps2 games are not backward compatible...try the xbox 360 with xclusive titles like gears of war and halo...but the ps3 comes with exclusive titles like god of war and stuff....

as per the resolution only the ps3 supports 1080p playback but since u wnt buy a pure HD..it wouldnt matter..so try the xbox too..

coming back to lcd...go for the samsung bordeux range..sony bravia excels in the contrast and sound department..but since u have a home theatre...u will not feel the differnce....and u will save a lot of money too...

 

[naveen_reloaded]

well one simple question...

does samsung beats sony ???? in picture clarity???

 

[dreamcatcher]

^^^^^negligible..and tht can only be determined at the highest..tht is 1080i/p resolution..u wnt be gtting much of those

 

[naveen_reloaded]

thnks amd64.. ( u have been very helpfull to me offlately.. thnks again)

then i am going for samsung.. now just just the best 40 "/42" ( seems price diff is negligible) within my price limit of 80k or just above it

 

[dreamcatcher]

netime mate...so now onto 40 inches..

well..samsung has two brands i think..its the bordeus and the sorona..go for the bordeux by samsung...i dont suggest panasonic or phoilips coz lcds are more prone to damage and panasonc have pathetic service...

so..frm me its samsung bordeux

 

[naveen_reloaded]

any specific mdel??

wht should a lcd have to fulfill true HD??
i am confused with full HD, supports HD, HD ready...

*hometheater.about.com/od/televisionbasics/qt/1080ivs1080p.htm

have a look at this..will ans all ur queries...

H ready means u can conect an adapter to the tv which shall enable it to give out full hd screens since 1080p and 1080i has the same resolution..

in hd ready tvs..u gt resolutions of 1080i..

 

[naveen_reloaded]

dealer said that at present no model in india supports 1080p( i dont remember clearly whether he said p or i )

 

[dreamcatcher]

lol..i m sure he meant tht no providers support 1080p sigals..coz HDTVs are default 1080p buggers..

 

[naveen_reloaded]

no he said .. lcd1s dont come with 1080p for now... or at present..

i am not sure...

 

[chicha]

this is what the dealer told me, he said 40" is better buy.

samsung LA40R8 780000

SONY KLV378310 690000( i think i got the model number wrong)
he also told me that sony is better in ASS(after sale service) he also told me that sony is a better version.

^^ In that case the dealer is a jerk and should sell bhel-puri on the streets instead. Almost all the manufacturers have full HD models in India. You should buy full HD(1080p) displays only if you're going to watch a lot of HD content. Otherwise buying a full HD tv for watching Saas-bahu serials will not only be a waste of the display but will actually look bad on the display. SD contents usually looks very bad on full HD displays because of huge difference in resolution. The picture will be scaled to fit the screen and will then look very pixellated (read ugly).

 

[chicha]

^^ you are correct. and since in india HD broadcast will take atleast 10 years, its no use to go for a full HD.

he also told me that a full HD TV starts at 90K.

this guy had tata sky on all his tv's. it was ok.
not the same if you have tata sky or dish tv on a normal CRT.

 

[krazzy]

^^ Actually I was replying to naveen's post above.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

yes even i saw the difference..

they were not that good looking.. but u cant blame the tv for it..since the reception and broadcast is very poor includint the dishtv/tata..etc..

i am actually planing to download stuffs/ xvid, avi , HD from net and play them thru PS3 and watch them in LCD(IF POSSIBLE HD READY) tv...

 

[chicha]

^ as i said, a full HD LCD TV costs not less then 90K. and for that amount you need to really really use, but i think its future proof.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

yes future proof...

ok lastly sugggest me samsung model in 40 " and 42 " category...
