happy diwali guys
my dad made a snap decision to buy a lcd tv within the budget of 45K so i visited sony, panasonic, samsung n LG showrooms separately, e-zone was closed early due to the celebrations so will visit it tomorrow .
panasonic gives 3 years warranty for its displays
but the quality was ok and a full hd IPS panel cost 32,000 but no support for USB
the shop guy banged the display very hard, i was shocked, apparently he wanted to show how durable the panel is but its out of my list
sony's quality is good but its not VFM as a full HD TV starts at 38 K and the new design with the ultra WIDE borders is simply ugly looking so its also out
so it came down to samsung n LG
samsungs 550 series 5 fit the specs with good displays but again they are costlier than LG by 3-4k
so im going for LG
there were 4 models in the 32-inch LCD category
32LD340- 720p - 31,000
32LD460-1080P 60Hz - 33,000
32LD550-1080P 100Hz - 35,000
32LD640-1080P 200HZ- 38,000
AND there were 2 displays in 32-inch LED
32 LE5300- 720P - 43,000
32LE5500- 1080P - 46,000
in all the showrooms i visited the led displays had higher brightness coz these shop wallas have deliberately kept the resolution and brightness of the LCD displays low but the picture quality seemed slightly better in LED
i didnt have time to to fiddle out with all the options so i will go again tomorrow for a better look and a possible buy
so guys plz help me out coz i think i will settle with 32LD640 coz its cheap and a fully loaded LCD. What do you think ?
and one more funny fact all these sellers who have the least interest in tech jargon were telling possible customers that a 720p display was a 1 MEGAPIXEL DISPLAY and a 1080p one was 2 MEGAPIXEL DISPLAY
this is their way to distinguish the better display
the educated looking guy in smasung also said the same to me
i know this thread is almost dead but please do pitch in your thoughts
