Hi there,

Decide from the followings:
X30D: HD Plasma (35K)
U30D: Full HD Plasma (45-47K) 900 Lines
V20D: Full HD Plasma (50-55K) 1080 Lines, Discontinued but few last pieces are still available. The best among the rest upto price range of 70000k among all brands.....

So is toshiba completely no no ???

As i am gonna use SD content ( Videocon D2H) [ NO HD IN NEAR FUTURE ] , will P42X30D give good PQ

If you are open to buying from grey market you can get a Sony 40" BX420 for around 34k and for another 5k more the CX520.

yes it will deliver good PQ, it is a very simple formula "What goes in, comes out". If u'll feed it with good signals SD, HD, FHD it will give u superb PQ but if u'll feed it sub standard signals it will give u Low PQ.

Standard SD through STB is god enough to get reasonable PQ, iam using 1st generation STB of dish TV and getting a very good PQ on V20. will be upgrading to HD STB but around diwali for 2 reasons
1.) HD STB technology will mature/improve in next 3 months
2.) Many offers will be given in festive season
3.) Around 50 true HD channels will be available by that time. (as channels are slowly slowly shifting to MPEG4 and HD signals from SD. It is better to enjoy atleast 50 important channels with improved technologies.)
