Hello folks,
My first post here. Pardon me for any errors.
I am looking to buy an LCD (Sony or Samsung). I went to ezone in bangalore today. I saw Samsung 37C550 being sold for 39750 (usually selling for 49K). The sales person said he sold 14 of them and only 3 pieces remain. I take that with a pinch of salt, but from other data about other models, I think he may be right.
Please tell me your views on this particular samsung model. I think its a very good deal. I was initially planning to buy 32", as I didn't want to spend the extra 20K+ on 40".
My thoughts and observations
1. I went looking for Sony 32EX300 (768p) selling for 29K but it was OOS.
2. So I started looking at 32EX400 (1080p), which my friend has, and it was priced 34K
3. Thats when I saw this 37C550 (which has ethernet port, and wi-fi capability if you get samsung usb dongle, as extra compared to C530 models)
My apprehension
1. There was a 40C530 on display above 37C550. With exact same settings, the white color on 37C550 looked a shade dusty. I could not tell difference in other colors. I asked the sales guy, he said its due to they being at different heights on the wall (I don't buy that explanation) I would have almost bought the 37C550 if not for this very noticeable difference.
Both being series 5, same color engine etc(except for size of screen and ethernet port), why the difference? Are there any known issues with 37C550 model, or its just my false perception?
2. Then I again went back to Sony 32EX400 and there was almost 20 second delay in getting picture settings menu from the remote. The sales guy had no explanation. (The same model in croma had no such issues)
So I am thinking if ezone display models were damaged (the sony and samsung). Else, why these quirks?
Please advise on Samsung 37C550 model.
