I am planning to purchase a flat screen TV for my bedroom.
Viewing distance = 8 feet
Typical usage = Watching SD and HD content through Tata Sky plus HD box, movies played through USB drive, movies played through laptop
My laptop is old and does not support HDMI, hence DLNA feature is important for me.
Would like to buy a TV with most video formats supported. Also would like the TV to have decent sound output. I am not planning to install a home theatre system with this TV.
I am considering 32 inch LCD TV (full HD) and 42 inch plasma TV (HD ready). For obvious reasons, I would like to stick to Samsung in case of LCD or Panasonic in case of plasma.
LED is out of my budget (35k approx).
From a distance of 8 feet, I don't think I can make out the difference between 1080p or 720p. But the size difference between 42 inch plasma and 32 inch LCD is something I find difficult to ignore, especially since both are selling at almost the same price.
This TV would be wall mounted. The plasma TV weighs 25 kgs, I hope wall mounting this would not be a problem.
I have shortlisted 2 models:
- Samsung Series 5 LCD (LA32D580K4R)
- Panasonic Vierra Plasma (TH-P42X30D)
Please help me decide between one of these.
