Need help regarding buying LCD TV

[rohit4444]

Hi,

I am planning to buy a 32 inches LCD TV. For the last 1 month I have visited various LCD showrooms. I am very much confused which one to choose. I have zeroed to the following models

Sony - 32CX420, 32CX520
LG - 32LD460,32LD550,32LD650
Samsung - 32C530 , 32C550, 32D550.

My requirements are
1. Very good Picture quality
2. Very good sound quality (I think sony has this one)
3. USB support.
4. Work as PC Monitor
5. Head phones support

Mainly I want to connect this tv to tata sky and watch the channels. Channels should be displayed with good quality. Also I want to play movies from USB. Experts please advice. Even if any other good models are there please suggest. Thanks in advance.

If you want to play all formats via USB then get the samsung D550.
In the sony the CX420 plays most formats but has the older image processing,while the CX520 has the newer image processing better PQ but doesn't play much formats via usb.

Thanks for the reply. Yesterday i visited a showroom. Showroom guy was telling 32C530 will display bright pictures and LN32D550 will display dark pictures and he was suggesting to go for 32C530 as all other features are same.
Another showroom person told that 32C530 is an outdated model and LN32D550 is the new model.
Which one is correct?
Also How about going for a 37 inches lcd tv (LN37D550)
Experts please advice

The other showroom guy is correct. The 'C' models are 2009-10 models while 'D' are 2011 models.

Get the 32D550 being bright or dark depends on the settings.The D550 is indeed a 2011 model.
The 37" versions comes with a SMVA panels or AMVA panels i wouldn't recommend the 37" version.

Thanks everyone for all the replies.

My budget is around 30K to 36K.
Bajaj electronics guy has offered me 32D550 for 33900 INR. Dish tv offer is also associated with it which has 1000 rupees activation charges. Is this a good deal?.

I am planning to take tata sky connection seperately instead of dish tv offer.

It will be of great helpful to me if any one can suggest the list of good showrooms in hyderabad which are authentic and can get good deals.

Please advice

Thanks for the replies.
Show room guy has told that all the latest samsung lcds (including 32D550) are coming with SPVA panel only. Is this true. I have verified the display pieces panels in showroom and they are SPVA panels. Also among lcd Samsung 32d550 and led Samsung 32d4000, which one is better?.
Experts can you please advice.
