Dear friends
I have thought to buy 40 inch LED TV after my 32inch samsung TV panel malfunctioned. Have shortlisted Toshiba and Sharp TV mainly due to the fact that they are giving 3 year warranty and their PQ is at least at par if not better than Sammy/LG/Sony/Panasonic. Not at all looking at sammy/LG/Pana/Sony as they have 1 yr warranty only and extended warranty comes at a cost. Accordingly, have shortlisted the following (almost same features) which I am getting at nearly the same price:
Toshiba PS 200
Toshiba PU 200 (2k low than PS 200)
Sharp LC-39LE440M (price at par with ps 200)
Both PS 200 and LE440M are edge lit while PU 200 is back lit which means PU 200 should have better PQ though haven't checked it. This also creates a doubt that if PU is a back lit then why its priced lower than PS. Further PS 200/PU 200 have slightly more features than sharp model. I am really confused as to whether I should opt for Toshiba or Sharp. I really don't have any idea on the quality of panel Sharp and Toshiba (though sharp is a renowned name in US ) have, how is the after sales service and how would they perform. Guys pls help out.
