Hello All : Searching for a suitable LCD.

awww, he's an adorable little troll isn't he?

adder, they do make 42' LCDs. please see this link..

VIERA Plasma TV & LCD TV | Digital AV | Panasonic India

intresting but not easy to find in showrooms.but they don't make the panels,since the IPS alpha doesn't manufacture 42inch size lcds. IPS Alpha Technology, Ltd. : Products ,they mostly are using LG panels in 42inch.also in the link shown u can see the native contrast of the lcds which is quite low compared to the sony and samsung and even sharp models.

hi, The debate between Plasma and LCD is never ending. I too did a lot of study and finally zeroed on Panasonic 42 inch Plasma PV 8D. However, my wife insisted that I should go along with the trend of most of the people buying LCD TVs. During that time, new Samsung 5 series Tv LA40 B530 was releasd into the market. I liked the TV and bought it. But the horrible experience I had to go through after I bought Samsung TV has totally shattered my confidence in all the LCD TVs, leave alone Samsung. My brand new TV has a severe backlight flickering problem and the picture keeps going off every 10-15 secs! Though the company has promised to replace the defective set, it is yet to materialise ( already one week passed since i have submitted the invoice to the company). Please read my blog on the subject in this forum to fully understand the problem.

Hence I suggest, avoid going for LCD Tvs. if u still decide on LCD TVs, pls pls dont go for Samsung... Ithas such a poor production quality control!!!

I am sorry to hear about this. But such rare instances can happen to anyone and any product.

It is not correct to suggest NO for LCD or Samsung, because of your one-off bad experience.

one of my friends too was searching for a TV. and he took a sudden decision and finalised on Sony 37S400A LCD for 59k. the PQ is fine with HD signals but with SD, its horrible. not sure the set is properly tuned or not. its nothing comparable with Panny or even LG plasmas.

when i started my thread my mind was full of LCD. but after lot of studies and auditions now i m with Plasma. (thx to you guys) still i didnt get enough time to finalise on anything because of some unexpected travels. anyway this weekend i am going to Panasonic brand shop and LG gallery to see the latest models.

i will tell you my experience then.

+1 to that, i can dig up many such incidents from sony to pioneer kuros,so that doesn't mean they are all bad.
