Why Is Sony Doing This To India??

[sachitgul]

Hello Folks..

I was in the market for purchasing an Sony LCD HDTV but was told that Sony had released a new line of TV's namely the NX and EX series..

my sight was set on the 40" Z series but know after reading abt the NX series i figured out that the one which we have is a really downgraded model when compared with the one available in the UK (NX503) or the US (NX700)..


also what the deal with the EX series..
the EX500 40" is priced Rs 73000 here while it is 900$ is the USA..

i mean come one Japan (actually China) is way closer to India then it is to the USA..

so why so much difference is the prices..??

why are we ignored so much..??

i really liked the new NX500 but when compared to its counterpart in the UK I really felt bad as the set of features there is just too good..


so are those TV's ever going come to India or should i just go ahead and buy what is currently available..

Do have a look at LG Scarlet 2.0

Can't even think to compare LG LCD with Sony's BRAVIA

SONY BRINGS TECHNOLOGY TO THE WORLD OTHER JUST FOLLOW IT.

SAMSUNG IS GOOD option too...........

Believe what Sony WANTS YOU to believe. And do look at LG panels before making these kinds of kiddish statements.

Sony Bravia is mostly hype, rest is your money.

i am no brand freak..
if LG is better than Sony than i would obviously go for Sony..

though i must say the NX series and the Z series by Sony is awesome..

so can one elaborate more on this LG vs Sony vs Samsung LCD shootout??


what features will i miss if i go for a Sony instead of a Samsung or LG??

I think you need to visit E-Zone and see the difference for yourself in the level of quality of Sony LCD TVs. I've bought 32 inch Samsung Series 5 thinking Sony is over-priced but when my sister bought Sony and gave me the reason, I checked them out again.

Next time you visit E-zone, look at the darker shades in Sony and Samsung. Samsung just blacks out most of the shades while Sony will have much more shades. I think it must be something to do with the contrast ratio but there is definitely a big difference. I've started noticing it now on my Samsung TV how conveniently darker shades are blacked out.

My second TV would most definitely be a Sony.

BTW my Sony Vaio sucked big time and is almost dead in 2 years despite the fact that I treated it very nicely Still Sony is Sony and their after-sales service levels are excellent. And I absolutely love my Sony H-50 digital camera.

haha Sony sucks, as simple as that.

Sony Bravia is overpriced sh1te.

[sachitgul]

i really liked the the new LG LED models..
the LG 42LH90QR and LG 42SL90QR look amazing..
even the feature list is really awesome..


how do these TV's stand compared to the Sony Z series and NX series..??


also
what would be the market price of the LG TV's mentioned above??

 

[skeletor]

lol, I had got a temporary ban and now I have returned.

I had a look at Sony's NX700 and NX800 series. Finally Sony has come up with LED back-lit TVs. The great thing which they have is Wifi and YouTube support. But But but, as usual they will be overpriced.

Now here's what you should go for.

LG 42LH90QR - the best you'll get. It has everything and it will be around 75k. (As far as Picture Quality is concerned, be a judge your own self.)

If you need Wifi and YouTube streaming, then you can also go for, WD TV Live HD Media Player - it will play any damned video format you throw at it (it is used in conjunction with an external HDD or Flash drive) and can also stream YouTube. It will cost around 7.5k and it supports networking through Ethernet. For Wifi, get one of the supported USB Wireless Adapter (Rs.800) and use it.

One more thing, I would warn you before hand that other companies like Samsung and LG usually announce their new series of Televisions in the summer. So, wait for a month.

Let Sony first manufacture their OWN LCD panels. Currently they buy from Samsung and Sharp (Google it). We'll talk later then.

I think you need to visit E-Zone and see the difference for yourself in the level of quality of Sony LCD TVs.

I had bought myself an LG Scarlet 2.0 in Diwali for a little over 40k and I had seen the difference between the level of quality (and obviously price)of Sony LCD TVs.

PS: I had gone to buy a "Sony" LCD TV.

Regarding the LG ones, I've seen them in reality.

Man......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WHO HAS TOLD YOU THAT. Whatever people write on forum i might be news for u.

SONY & SAMSUNG WERE JOINTLY DEVELOPING LCD PANEL NOW IT IS WITH SHARP.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SONY IS BUYING IT FROM THEM. DO U KNOW WHAT JOINT VENTURE IS????????????????? IT IS COMMON PLANT OF WHERE BOTH COMPANIES ARE INVESTING THEIR FUND & TECHNOLOGY

& Remember LCD Panel is not only factor for picture quality.

1. As all of us know that today's HD Media Blu-ray is invented by Sony & Philips.
2. HDMI was invented by Hitachi, Philips, Sony, Toshiba, Thomson, Panasonic and Quasar

WHERE IS YOUR LG ??????????????

I am not Sony Fan Boy But I give the credit to those who really Deserve.

And If you really feel the LG's picture quality is better than BRAVIA................ YOU MUST CHECK YOUR EYES............... I CAN'T HELP.

FACT: LG owns 8 % of Market Revenue while SONY Owns 18 % and SAMSUNG own 20 %
Go to Croma to confirm this figure.

SONY & SAMSUNG ARE GOOD TO BUY.........

 

[skeletor]

^ don't troll. I had got banned earlier for flaming an idiot, I don't wanna get banned again.

By "buying" I meant a joint venture in which Sony makes use of Samsung's "LCD panels" only the panels because Sony is losing millions of $$$. Thats why the need for a "join venture". Not self sufficient at the moment.

Check out the DISPLAY quality by your own self. :/ And see for 50 thousand, which company gives you the best features, display quality, specifications and VFM. Talk later.

You do sound like a Fanboy. And what has this stuff got to do with the topic?

And If you really feel the LG's picture quality is better than BRAVIA................ YOU MUST CHECK YOUR EYES............... I CAN'T HELP.

LG's picture quality is indeed better than Bravia for the SAME PRICE RANGE and heck Sony's price being higher.

FACT: LG owns 8 % of Market Revenue while SONY Owns 18 % and SAMSUNG own 20 %

How does that make it better?
Internet Explorer dominates the browser market too

SONY & SAMSUNG ARE GOOD TO BUY.........

So is LG LG and Samsung are good choices.
