Hi,
I've been visiting this forum for a few days now and firstly I must comment that its a great place to do research on the feedback & products in the Indian market.
I am looking to buy a 42"-50" flat screen Full HDTV and have been exploring a few options, but out of everything the Panasonic P42V20D is one which had stood out in terms of PQ etc. Unfortunately the cost is quite high and stretching my budget quite a bit.
I am aware that Pana also sells institutional models which are just plasma displays without tv tuners - this fits in quite well with my objectives since I already have a home theatre of sorts which accepts USB input and am using DTH. I also plan to purchase a proper media center at some time in the future so that will take care of internet/network streaming.
The issue now is cost - Pana sells these institutional pieces at quite a high price (am assuming this is done so that these models do not kill their consumer market). But my hunch is that if a larger order is placed (like a corporate would do) then these rates might come down quite a bit.
Therefore I am starting this thread to see if anyone would like to do a 'group buy' of such displays. As said before am looking at full hd 42" - 50" displays, but you are welcome to post your requirement. This is currently for the NCR market but in case someone from outside NCR is interested we can discuss with the distributor the possibility of delivering in other cities. Also, am currently talking to the distributor about models/rates and I will post prices once the dealer lets me know.
Disclaimer - I know this is a long shot, but just want to give it a shot to see if we can get economies of scale while getting a good product.
