50" LG PQ70 @ Rs.54,500
This is my earlier post, I have updated it, so do read it first !!!

Hi,
Got a deal from ezone.
50" LG PQ70 @ 57000 + 2 gm gold coin (worth Rs. 3000, considering you get 10% less, when u sell, so 2650),
Effective price = 54350
Delivery time 10 days, LCD will directly come from Bombay.
I'm trying to get a Samsung DVD player (H1080R - USB+HDMI Rs. 4200 approx) Free with that too. but the sales man, said it's not possible for him.
I played a divx movie 700MB from my pen-drive, on 50" LG PG61UR (they didn't have 50" LG PQ70 on display), just to see, the quality on a 50" incher, & it looked awesome.
They had set plasma tv's at low PQ level, and LCD tv's at High PQ level ('coz they make more profit on LCD tv's )
, so everyone hates plasma & think LCD's look great, and buys them.
So i made him do similar settings on both LCD TV 42" Full HD scarlet 2.0 & Plasma TV HD ready 42" LG PQ70
Then, I also saw Tatasky on both, it was better on Plasma.
Then, Divx 700 MB movie was great on plasma, but slightly better on LCD, even in those showroom light, & considering that generally, 99% of people, switch of lights, while seeing movie on their HDTV sets.
so movie on plasma would be great, and it's a winner by default.
I have given some booking amount, but has also said that, i will cancel the deal, if i get a better deal, elsewhere. after hearing this, he said if you will find a better deal, i will happily refund the amount, & he also said, he can sweeten the deal some more.
U see, he unknowingly himself gave me a hint, that the price can further be reduced, or i can get the DVD player Free too.
obviously i will use this opportunity, to threaten to cancel the deal, and he will give the dvd player free.
I was also thinking of going for Samsung PS50B550 (which is Full HD), & 25000 more costly,
but then i thought, even after spending 25000 more, In india do we have the content to use that 1080P ???
No we don't !!!
Obviously it isn't worth it.
& when HD will be mainstream in India, LED tv's will be in the Trend (and these LCD's will be gone) & also sizes of 60" + will be common. & nobody will purchase sizes less than that.
so uptill then, there's no use of spending more money on Full HD sets.

My Latest post...
Called him again yesterday, and told him to cancel the deal, as Croma is offering 58,000 + DVD player (with LCD screen, from a chinese brand), MRP 14000, but market price 8000, bringing down the effective cost to 50,000.
He said , it's not possible and i can get my advance deposit, refunded back.
I said fine.
Now I'm thinking, i will go today in-person (yesterday i had made a phone call,so i think,that's why he refused to give dvd player free) & i will ask him to, give the Advance deposit back.
I will try to get another 2gm of gold coin or DVD player Free again, maybe he will do that, seeing the deal is getting canceled.
If this turns out to be true, then the effective price for my 50" plasma LG PQ70 will be. Rs.51,800/- (as i can sell the gold in market anytime)
((Also I'm not inclined towards, the DVD player offer from croma, as i won't be using that DVD player, anyway, so the price would be 58000, + useless DVD player (with LCD screen).
))
on a side note, what's the market price of the Samsung DVD player H1080R, Pebble design + USB+HDMI with MRP Rs.5,990/-
