Dear HiFi Vision Members,
Hello... This is mgforce from Mumbai. I am planning to buy LCD TV for last 2 weeks & have done some research using internet, visits to few stores etc. But after all this I am further confused.
The basis requirements for me are following:-
1) Screen Size to be 32"
2) Support running media (video) from USB Hard Disk; min XViD & H264 codecs, more the merrier
3) Budget upto 35k
4) Full HD to be future proof
Basis the above had shortlisted the following models
LG 32LD460
&
Samsumg LA32C530
I am still not fully sure about the PQ comparison for these sets...I don't have not much info on the panel etc.. At Croma there was a Blue Ray Video running across LCDs.. it was so good that didn't gave realistic view of what I will get from cable / DTH. But looked same on both TVs.
I also got one more option post yesterday's visit to Croma (R City, Ghatkopar) :- LG 32LD650 (which has 200 Hz True Motion & DLNA, Wifi support). Though this will cross the budget also...
The feature which attracted me is True Motion. Though it showed no benefit with usual Blue Ray video running. But showed differences when I tested it as following...
Now with all this am confused... which to go for?
Is True Motion really that great? (especially when running non HD motion videos)
Which one out of LG / Samsumg have better LCD panels?
Samsung has Contrast Ratio of 70,000 : 1 whereas LG has 1,00,000 : 1?
Hence seeking views / feedback / suggestion from HiFi members. Pls help in deciding the best available option keeping in mind the budget & requirements.
Thanks in advance

I ran one 720p X264 rip on both TVs (Samsung LA32C530 & LG 32LD650).. No visible difference in PQ.
I ran another rip... this one a small 300 MB movie rip (Transformers) on Samsung LA32C530 & LG 32LD650. This rip having ~ 640*320 resolution was pretty bad on LCDs. But the overall quality was better in case of LG 32LD650 which the sales guy attributing that to True Motion.
