Buying LED from USA

[coolcatric]

Hi Guys,

Need some information, I am planning to buy a 42-46 LED from USA. This is what i am planning to do -

1. Buy 42"-46" LED from EBAY
2. Will try to keep the deal under 35k, as limit is 35k if i am not wrong ( i am open for refurbished / used)
3. Ask my friend (one who's traveling from US to India) to claim this under oversized baggage.
4. Put a "fragile" sticker on LED box
5. Almost all LED are Global ready & they run both 110V & 240V. Need inputs here
6. No idea on how to convert NTSC to PAL. (will use this LED for X-BOX[PAL] and Movies[.mkv] via USB)

Apart from the above, need your help on finding a good deal. You guys are local there, so need your help.

Bigger the size, lighter the weight, the better it is

Thanks in advance.

Customs will not agree for a used/ refurbished Item and will value the TV as per their norms if the pricing is low.

Not true. Most TVs in US are 110 V and need an NTSC to PAL converter - which can be procured from US itself. You can get the step down transformer in India for around 4 K

I feel the NTSC to PAL converter is a MAJOR concern / bottleneck.... could render yr TV Useless in India :-(

I presume the TV is HD.

Is the Converter also HD ? Will it upsample ?

I would steer clear of US TV even though their price is Fantastic.

Just my 2 cents ..

for 40K ish..You can get 40 inch samsung ES5600 on ebay.in..why so much hassle for 5k savings....

Buying TV from USA - bad idea all the way (no matter what amount you save).

Well, then i should just go to Gaffar and buy. Any suggestions on that ?

Its better to buy it from stop over places like HK .

tvs sold in the US only work in 110v and NTSC.

Local warranty is must for Panels as they are unpredictable.
