Budget Plasma LG 42PN4500 review

[concorde24]

Hello Concorde,

It would be great if you can post some pictures and your first impression about the set. I plan to purchase the same soon. Thanks in advance.

I am also in same situation. I was looking for 32 Led and had decided to buy panasonic L32B6D model but while visiting LG store, I saw this plasma model and impressed by it. IMO it is the only 42 inch plasma tv currently available in india which is fairly priced.
Please give your review so I can decide

Sure Will do after watching for couple of days playing with the set.

LG Plasma has a ISM feature (Image Sticking Minimization) which will slightly move the image every 2 min so that same logo/image is not struck to same area.
We can set this to Orbiter.

Saw demo of LG PN4520 today, the only difference i could find as compared to LG PN4500 was that, It has 3 hdmi ports as compared to 1 hdmi port in LG PN4500.
Rest everything was same..... I was quoted Rs 36K for the TV.

Yes. that is the price I have paid as well.
Just 1 HDMI is a limitation and I would suggest a HDMI splitter like this

only problem with LG from usb play, DTS files are not accepted.
but anyway that can simply be ignored if some one has media player

I think LG 42PA4500 is 2012 model and LG 42PN4500 is 2013 model.....

there is no review in that link though model appears only, hope there is no difference between these two apart from one being from abroad...

I have also searched online for reviews but didnt find any. I guess the best way to go is to trust your eyes and make the decision...

I have ordered this model through SNAPDEAL.COM last week for Rs.32400 and received within 4 days. I am extremely impressed with the picture quality. The TV has brilliant settings and brilliant picture at the price. Though there is only one HDMI in. I will still give it a perfect 5 for picture quality.

Buy it at the earliest and enjoy the brilliance of the tv.

Is snapdeal reliable..?
Can we opt for cash on delivery for this and check the device and pay?

Any return policies from them?

you can try J D Electronics at Kilpauk, they seem to be much competitive as compared to others at chennai

Anybody using XBMC on this TV?
Heared nightmares of the video aspect ratio issues when it runs...

How does 16:9 movie scale on a 1024x768 resolution?
Some light please?
