Re: HDTV buying advice thread

btw i observed something.. even though all the papers had ads of major electronic outlets saying "Republic Day Sale" upto 60% off, all that they had done was increase the so called "MRP" and put a discount.

Almost every store i went to enquire for the c530 32" had a selling price of 34k. Only bargaining makes the price come down..

This makes me wonder, is it worth waiting for festival season to buy a TV?????
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

^Another festival season? Don't think it is a good idea. What you said is right and is preached by all retailers. Not a biggie.

I'd suggest buy one now. The next lineup would possibly hit the market by Q2 this year. i.e the Samsung D series.
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

Consecutive two advertisements of Samsung does not show 6 series TVs in their lineup.

After series 5 its straight series 7 LEDs, so likely samsung is bringing down prices of LEDs as next step. So people can wait for new developments.

Perhaps they are trying to clear of existing inventry to make way for 2011 model.So far the 2011 model line up from both samsung and sony are mostly LED based lcd.
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

Guys, is it a good time to buy an LCD TV now? If not how long should one wait? I just wanna buy an affordable and good 32 incher.
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

^There's no such thing as a good time esp. when electronics is concerned. If you want to buy one now, buy it right away. A newer model releases tomorrow which would make yours and mine outdated anyway so it doesn't make sense waiting. :p

Let us know the budget Aman and is possible follow the checklist mentioned in the first post so it would be easy for us to suggest the model(s).

Yes.

1. Budget.

30k max.

2. Viewing distance.

10 feet

3. Sources/inputs such as HD DTH/consoles/stand-alone media players etc.

My Laptop and A PS3/360 in the future

4. Preference for plasma TV/LCD TV/LED-LCD TV.

Anything which is good will do.

5. Preference for brands.

Will prefer Sony and Samsung, or any other company with good A.S.S.

6. Willing to purchase it from the grey market?

Not at all.

7. Ambient lighting conditions of the room.

Dark after curtains, super bright without them.

8. Any other feature you are looking for such as 3D support on the HDTV, DLNA capabilities etc.

It should play all sorts of media from its USB port, including high def stuff and mkv files.
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

^The good ol' Samsung LA32C530 or the Sony 32EX400. The Sony doesn't play mkvs and a majority of formats. Grab the Samsung before it runs out of stock!
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

Actually around 31~33k but trust me this investment is worth it. Do a demo and you'll love the display. And IINM, almost all the 32inch C530 panels are SPVA so no problems here. :)

Re: HDTV buying advice thread

^LA40C630. Some of us in the forum own the same panel as well. Pretty impressed with the performance. The panel is a SPVA one.

In your thread, you mentioned about the LE40C630, the E stands for Europe and A in the LA stands for Asia. That's the only difference between the 2 models. :)
 
Re: HDTV buying advice thread

But the model was really costly...

Can i know the approx price where oour people have got it...?

moreover, do we have an led with similar specs..?
