I am setting up my new home, and naturally am high on ambition and somewhat short on budget (because I am buying a lot of things in one go).
I have been looking for a flat panel TV, plasma or LED, with the following requirements.
Size: at least 42", prefer 46".
Budget: 60k - 80k
Viewing: 45 hrs a week (Tata Sky DTH, DVD movies and concerts)
Existing TV: LG Flatron 29" XD series
The deal is that I fell in love with a Panasonic TH-P42V20. Loved the picture, and nothing quite compared. Price is pretty much at the lower end of my range, I am getting it for 61k with a three year warranty. Everything's fine, but for 45 hours of viewing, 350 W of rated power consumption is too high (convince me that it isn't and I'd love you). Wondering what alternhanatives do I have. Looks like Plasma is not for me.
There is a Sony 40" LED at just below 65k (40EX710?) and 46" possibly go much higher (around 90k).
Coming to LEDs, saw an LG 42LE5300 at around 60k. Not bad, but the picture was too bright but the colors were faded. I don't know if I don't like LED TVs in general, or it's something else.
Really short of options, would really appreciate some help, suggestions about other brands, etc.
Thanks,
