var89 said:my main purpose would be to watch normal television broadcast. I have IPTV , which i don't know is HD or not. once in a while some movie dvd's.
Rave said:THen get urself the Panasonic PV80 Plasma screen, last i checked, 42" was 58k, maybe its cheaper now
var89 said:Rave i don't have space for 42. Maximum size i can accommodate is 32 inches as its not for a living room.
Rave said:in that case, pick up the Panasonic LX80C or Sharp Aquos by having a demo of either of them, and whichever offers u the best price
var89 said:yes i know panasonic gives out IPS panels which are very good.
i also want to know how good are sony samsung and lg in this segment. do they offer ips panels?.
well i heard IPS panels are better than SPVA panels.the samsung series 5 and 6 are also good but more VFM they use the same panel in sony W series,although the samsung sometimes puts a CMO based SMVA panels which have sligtly washed out colors.
why do you think so. I heard IPTV will soon be HD.but for normal sd tv viewing, 1080p lcds may not be the best choice.
oh is that so.the panasonic and LG tv lack the contrast ratios given by sony and samsung and peak out around 1000:1.
how much does it cost.adder said:well u can go for a sony which has a SPVA panel and has the highest contrast in 32inch lcds,the sony W series at 2500:1 measured static contrast.

Is samsung very unreliable in terms of panels.
why do you think so. I heard IPTV will soon be HD.
oh is that so.
how much does it cost.
adder said:well IPS based tvs have a slight advantage in viewing angles,noticible when u are viewing at extreme angles.
well samsung tvs in US mostly use SPVA panels but in countries like india we get tv which have cmo panels which are based SMVA.this applies mostly to 32inch segment and guarranted in 37inch segment.
well a FHD when it recieves a normal SD content it will have to upscale a whole lot more then a normal HD lcd,which may result in some articfacts,offcouse it varies from brand to brand sony,samsung,toshiba,panasonic in no particular order have good image processing.
well a W series sony costs about 60k in showroom,but around 50k or less in grey market.
aman.pitbull said:Considering your usage nothing above 720p, better save money and buy Panasonic TX-32LX800 Rs.36500/-, save about 20K.
By the way, Sony - KLV-32W400A retails for around Rs.57000/- and it is the next best offering.
Cheers.
