I bought a 40 inch Bravia LCD (KLV-40W450A) in 2009. Around 6 months ago a glitch appeared in the LCD panel and I gave it to the service center for repairs after approving an exorbitant estimate. To cut a long story short, after a customer service nightmare during which I was repeatedly stonewalled by the service center representatives and given false assurances I wrote some stern emails and have now been offered a brand new LCD at the cost of the repairs (Rs 17600). I have been offered a choice between two LCDs, the KLV-40CX420 and KLV-40NX520. I am now tempted to get an LED instead and they have agreed to give me one if I pay the price difference. However, I am confused as to which one I should get. I want to stick to the 40 inch size. I am not keen on 3D but am considering a few 3D models as they might have better viewing experience overall. I watch a lot of HD content so that is a consideration too. Here are the models that I am looking at.
KDL-40EX520
From my research it seems that this has a rather limited refresh rate of 50 Hz. I don't know much about TV tech specs but this seems to be a drawback. Am I right or is it something that is negligible?
KDL-40EX720/KDL-40NX720
I am not interested in this because of the 3D but am wondering whether it has a better viewing experience than the EX520. Also, what is the difference between the 40EX720 and 40NX720? Is the latter a better buy given that the price difference between the two is one Rs 10,000?
KDL-46HX925
This is a long shot (it's too damn expensive!!!) but I read that Sony is going to discontinue its HX line and not make Dynamic Edge LED TVs. Given this, is it a good idea to bite the bullet and get one or will a better technology come in the near future?
Also, is this a good time to get a Sony Bravia or should I wait for the 2012 models to be launched?
I know that these are a lot of questions but would really appreciate it if you guys could help me make a decision! Thanks.
