Which 32" LCD or plasma?

Guys,
I need to pick up a 32" LCD or plasma TV (which is better?).

My requirements are
1. Picture quality
2. Reliability (no glitches)
3. Build quality (longevity)

Budget is 30k to 40k

Nitrous,

Hi and welcome. I am personally tired of answering this same question time and again. Please check/read through this forum for everybody's views on this topic.

Hopefully for the final time... As your budget is up to 40K add a few more thousands and go for PV8 42" plasma TV. If you still want to go with LCD and 32" only then again Panasonic/Philips are the best.

ha ha! Chill,man!
Anyways, I already checked out the 42" panasonic discussion.
Let me see if I can do something about the remaining 10"

Hey moserw,

can u tell me where in hyderabad can i find panasonic PV8/PV80 at such cheaper prices?

i checked croma,jublee hills and he quoted 51990/55000 for pv8/pv80

well what will u use it for,and whats ur viewing distace.

Check with J. D. Electronics. Let them know you are from this forum.

30K is ok (since I paid 35K for a 32" LCD from Panasonic in December) but 40K is way too high for a 32" LCD or Plasma. Go with 42" by increasing budget or else go the CRT route for a year or two till prices come down further as OLED makes further inroads. Don't pay 40K for a 32" inch TV, just not worth it.

I think we should have some sticky's for product pricing and only manufacturer links not retail ones. Too many similar questions on pricing, speakers, AVRs, TV size etc.

Nit at 40k budget, increase by 4 k and you will get Pana PV8. The best deal out there.

If you are bent on LCD, Panasonic and Philips are really good.

@mod.. please can you make the price thread sticky?

Also, have different price threads for different models, if that is feasible.. This way lesser number of posts and easier access.

Finally, please can you have some mechanism in place so that people check the existing threads and post a new thread only if required info not found.. i know this is tough... but looking at the rate the forum are growing, it will soon become unwieldy.

@nitrous-- sorry, this rant was not meant for you.You are very much welcome here, and please stay on here. you will be rewarded with exponential knowledge for your stay here. Best wishes.
