At 49k, it's a steal and you should not look anywhere else but go for the same.

the reason is tht as per recent upgradation..plasma below 42" still sucks..
Why is it that Plasma below 42" suck? Is it because the technology is not evolved or is it some contraint that plasma's have to be above a certain size. Now that you mention it, it is worth pondering why manufacturers don't make 32" plasma?

Also my shortest viewing distance from the TV is going to be 8 feet. Is that too less for a 42" plasma?

From all that I have read I want to go for a plasma, but am skeptical on whether I am buying too big a screen for my viewing area?

Re: Need opinion on the new 32" LG Plasma

it's because no one makes any decent plasma panels below 42". The LG 32" one is STANDARD DEFINITION only....which is a big con job. So don't even touch it.

8 feet is more than sufficient for 42" HD Ready plasma. I sit 7.5 feet away from mine and it's perfect. Combine a 42" plasma with a viewing distance between 7 and 8 feet...and you get a fantasticaly immersive viewing experience. Keep it farther away and you are losing the size and scale without gaining anything. So go for a 42" Plasma. If it's available for 49k, then don't even think twice.

Yes bro

8 feets is too small distance...

max to max 37"...or 32" is best recommended for that viewing distance...

Now, regarding 32" Plasma, the problem is with the technology...
the heat, the clarity, and the span life are the problems...

Heat is no more a problem with plasmas. My 42" plasma becomes only as hot as my smaller 32" LCD.
And claimed life of plasma is nowadays 100,000 hours. To be conservative, assume it to be 50,000 hours, which still means 17 years of service with 8 hrs daily usage.
Viewing distance is somewhat subjective. I felt 8-9 feet too close for 42", then changed the set-up of the room so that now viewing distance is a comfortable 10-11 feet.

Devi International. But you will have to go for bulk purchase (atleast 3 to 4) to get this offer.
