hello guys.
am really confused which LCD TV to buy
LG Scarlet 42inch (42LG60FR) or Samsung Series 5 40 Inch A550 (LA40A550)
help me make my decision !
Thanks guys.
I Compared both TVs at the showroom both side by side.
There was a grand show down between LG vs Samsung vs Sony at the LCD Shop.. Orgazined by the Sales guy. With all people and visitors exited. All 3 next to each other
The LG Scarlet 40inch and Sony W Series 40 Inch Out Performed the Samsung Series 5 A550 40 in every department ..
In Airtel Digital TV Cricket Match and Star Wars DVD and the DTS demo.
All 3 LCDs were on factory settings. I was dis appointed that samsung was beaten by huge margin by LG60 and all visitors were in awe with scarlet before and after the show down.
According to reviews Samsung A550 is supposed to be the best. After caliberation or something like that. But what is this ?? THE LG PWNS Samsung 5 head on in/by default ??
In cricket match the grass was really un-natural, very bright and bloated in A550 but in LG60 And Sony W it was natural and nice.
During Anakin Skywalker POD Racing Scene in Star Wars 1 the crowd cheering was very crystal clear on LG60 but on Samsung it was distorted, can't explain it that clearly but you should see it.

HEY LG IS BETTER ANY DAY SAYING THIS AS I OWN THE LG SCARLET 42.......
LG IS HAVING A GREAT OFFER (LCD TV+DVD+50MOVIES+HDMI CABLE FREE)
a) LG is MUCH better with Standard DEF video than Samsung. This is important because most of us in India watch standard def and not HD content
b) LG is cheaper and the spec sheet is better (4 HDMI, Intelligent Sensor, higher contrast ration, better refresh rate)
My vote is for the LG Scarlet. I did the same comparison and research a few months ago and then bought Scarlet because:
a) LG is MUCH better with Standard DEF video than Samsung. This is important because most of us in India watch standard def and not HD content
b) LG is cheaper and the spec sheet is better (4 HDMI, Intelligent Sensor, higher contrast ration, better refresh rate)
c) Everyone talks about black levels - but trust me - its not such a big deal unless you are videophile. Normal people can EASILY live with the darkness levels of LG - in fact I can't make out any issue with it even though everyone talks about it!
d) Personally - I like the looks of Scarlet compared to 550
If you are into watching sports then i would advice you against the samsung ,cause it has serious issues with fast moving objects .
I recently bought the Samsung 5 series 46" and am really happy with it It cost me Rs 82.5K in Mumbai
I was considering the LG Scarlett 42" (don't know if a new model has come after that), but the picture was not impressive at all. So the choice was not very tough. The biggest attraction was that this TV was available for Rs 62K. I would have saved around 20K albiet a reduction in size by 4"
Yes, the Samsung showroom setting are awful, especially with DTH content. If you change it, it makes a sea of a difference. When they first installed it at home, I was shocked that maybe it was a wrong choice. But, the change in setting did the trick. Also, I pass my Tata Sky though the Onkyo AVR 705 which upscales the signal to 720p and the rest is handled by the TV. The picture quality does improve noticeably. I would reccomend this if you have an AVR that can upscale. Also, if the AVR is on, the sound is more invovling than thru the TV speakers. Hope this helps!
