hi buddy,

For ur budget the samsung b550 or b530 is an excellent buy (if u r looking for samsung only).........but according to me please do check out the videocon slim TV .......... its absolutely stunning ( 33mm,2ms response time,100000:1 contrast ratio ) .......please dnt think that as its videocon it wont be as good as samsung or sony......please do check the videocon tv out..........the best price what i got was 57k in bangalore...

my friend recently got LG 200Hz LCD for 66.5K. Don't remember the model number. But he is very happy with the purchase. I liked it too and was going to buy it but my eyes were set on plasma so didn't go for it.

go for lg, the 100hz or 200hz whichever u go for the picture quality is way better than the normal 50hz panels of any brand. u can also go for lg scarlet 2.0 with 100hz for 62.5k last price at girias.

go for the panasonic 42g10 for Rs.59000/-
amazing picture clarity..
u cant compare g10 with lg or samsung lcd's.

+1 for G10 panasonic

well i would pick the samsung b530/550,priced realy cheap was as low as 47k.

the g10 is good doesn't have the best image processing.also if ur room is lit well u may not notice those blacks and the plasmas lack of brightness isn't going to help much.
for a controlled environment its good,again not recommended to use it with PC gaming etc.

so u turn off the lights and watch.well again not all people have dark rooms.in my living room their is plently of light,despite having put some heavy curtains.
in the night i watch with adequate light with around 1200 to 1300 lumens coming out of a 20watts cfl bulb.

well the OP said he also uses it for PC gaming.

Console Gaming

If you’re not one of the few unfortunate viewers with high retinal persistence who are extremely susceptible to phosphor trails on plasma televisions, high-definition gaming on the Panasonic TX-P42G10 will be a blast thanks to its punchy contrast, vibrant colours, lucid detail, and almost non-existent input lag.

Objective measurements placed input lag with [Game Mode] activated at up to 21ms faster than our resident Samsung F96 LED-backlit LCD TV. Even if [Game Mode] was not engaged, the TX-P42G10 was on par with the F96 regardless of whether [Intelligent Frame Creation] was on or off.

controlled lighting environment,i.e well taught about lighting placements,curtains etc.

well not everyone picked the g10,i posted the link b'cause of the effect of the light

Quote:

The Panasonic handled motion admirably and had very acceptable color and shadow detail. But its black level dropped substantially when the room lights were on, and that alone was enough to lose it my first-place vote

Quote:

While the plasma still had a better pic- ture off axis, the Sony’s color fidelity was far more natural and consistent, which is entirely inconsistent with my overall experience with LCDs. To top it off, turning on even a little room light killed the plasma, while the Sony still looked awesome. I’m a kook who prioritizes nighttime movie watching, but the Sony had the better blacks with the lights out, too. So my little world was really turned upside down. I’m a plasma guy. I own a plasma. I love my plasma! But this Sony was the best of the bunch.

lh90 is good choice,better native response time,sligtly better colors .but pricey just about within his budget.

Pardon me for a n00bish query but do plasmas fair well for console gaming? I thought the LCD TVs or rather the LED TVs faired better?

The review link TH posted seems to say the opposite!
