plasma TV help

[VKN]

Hello every1

I am thinking of getting a new plasma TV looking @ 50inch.
I viewed the Panny VIERA TH-P50V10D found it good .. are there any other options on the plasma ?

Panasonic V10 is a 2009 model. Just FYI, doesn't mean its bad. 2010 models will do much better.

Other 50" options:
LG PK550R
Panasonic G20
Panasonic V20
Samsung B550 (2009 model if you can get a fresh set at a bargain).
Samsung C550

You can go through the LG PK550 owner's discussion thread here:

+ 2009 Panasonic plasmas had that problem of blacks getting degraded (for lack of a better word). Get a 2010 model (panasonic or other) if you can.

If budget is not a constraint go for 50V20.
If you need 3D and can wait, you can try upcoming 50VT20 from Panasonic (which is also supposedly offers better blacks). It will set you back for around 1.5L.

50PK550 offers good VFM. You can get one for around 61K. (Almost half the price of a V20 )
Next you have 50C550 which sells for around 70K.

PS : check the price list. The above price are once I recently come across and may not be accurate.

Note that these are all FullHD sets and that is what I would recommend, as the DTH is already moving in that direction. But be informed that you may get a 50" TV for less which are not FullHD (HD ready TVs as they name it). Pana, LG and Samsung all have HD-Ready 50 inchers.

The best price quoted for V20 is 1.25L.

This is the best TV you can get today at the price range.

Pls note that 50V20D Indian model doesn't have THX Certification and also the infinite black PRO panel - pls check.

Me too in a confusion over buying 50V20D, since the UK version 50V20B has got excellent review.

I think Panasonic is not giving best models in India -

If anyone of you have more details on 50V20D pls share.

If I am not wrong, THX and the infinite black PRO panel will be only available with the 3D model aka VT20.

Not providing THX is really shameful for panasonic....how much more idiotic can the guys at pannys indian ops get ...

MRP: Rs. 124,900/-
Dealer Price: Rs. 118,000/-
Retail (best quote): Rs. 112,000/-

This is the best TV you can get today at the price range.

Personally I think, this is probably the best TV at any price range available in India today.
