Please suggest a Deal: ST30 - 55K, XT50-43K

[lcdfreak]

Please suggest which deal is better:

A) I am getting ST30 with HT XH170 at 55,000 with 2, 3D Glasses

B) XT50 at 43K with 2 glasses, NO HT

C) ST30 without HT at 51 K with 2, 3 D Glasses


Deal A vs Deal b: ST30 is over 12K by XT50, offcourse HT is free

Deal A vs Deal C : ST30 > XT by Rs 8000. NO HT

IS ST30 Worth 8000 over XT50???

Go for the ST30 with just the glasses. The difference will be made up by just the glasses. Besides the fact that ST30 is a better TV.

Thanks..Both XT & ST are with 2 glasses.

Anyways, Home Theater XH 170 not worth even 4,000??

deal A is good..........as at 4k extra only you are getting the ht....and ST is always better.
and this ht has optical input...so good......you can easily connect from stb/other devices and hear true surround sound.
no need to upgrade sound much fast....

Oops, didnt notice that! So then the question is whether you can spare the extra cash for the ST30?
If so, do you have speakers already? If not, the HT for 4k is worth it. Else it will just be a waste of space.

I would suggest XT50 as it has new generation brighter panel... in any case the difference wont matter much unless you are a videophile.. if you were, you would not have asked this question but would have actually advising others on this

BTW HT is definitely worth more than 4k...

Thanks..I have speakers but not ht..my old Sony ht does not have optical in or ARC.

Speakers I own are JBL premium range.

Thanks raj. This is my second purchase. Got XT 50 already.

I admit could see little difference between two. However all suggested ST is better so trying it. I mean thinking of....even on blu ray difference was negligible..

 

[manish mundra]

where are we getting XT50 for 43k?

 

[aakashr]

ST30 anyday.............can't compare ST to XT!!!

 

[just4kix]

And I too would go with aakash. ST30 is better than XT50 anyday. Panel brightness is just one criterion which can be set in the picture setting menu.

Oh right - is this ST for your house only or someplace else? You can surely give ST30 a try...

 

[krish199]

I doubt that ST30 would a complete sealed box piece and not a display one. ST30 has long been discontinued and I was not able to locate a single piece anywhere in bangalore during my TV hunting on the month of July/Aug.

So rule of thumb, please check run hours immediately after opening the box.

 

[prosenjit]

sit in the showroom and tell the shop owner to bring the piece in front of you from godown....stick there...unpack the fresh piece..demo it...pact it....carry it upto home...best method to avoid demo piece.....yah also chek run hour in the shop itself....
dont bother the time waste and cont insist to go home peacefully from the shop guys
I learned this process in the forum itself...thank you forum....

 

[lcdfreak]

bottom line : Basic question: Is it worth 8K over XT50???

^always....justified..
and how you felt...after compare..if no extra good to your eyes..no pint paying 8k extra.

 

[arnprasad]

I myself am loving my XT50 like hell.

But CNET also says the Panasonic X series (XT minus 3d) as one of the worst TVs
