Sounds perfect. Its a done deal then. Next time I am in Chennai I have a new place to party at...
BTW your WDTV should really hit peak performance with the PV8. Do put in a detailed review about it, the PQ, how good is the upscaling for Divx rips of both DVDs and Blu-Ray DVDs.

Yes without exchange it would be for 45,500 rs exclusive for our forum members. Contact them and refer our forum for the price deal. You can talk to Vaibhav at Ph.044-30582222/23/24
Hi:
45k, I got it for 53k, thought was the best deal. These plasma prices are going down in price like hell. Very good indeed.
45k, I got it for 53k, thought was the best deal. These plasma prices are going down in price like hell. Very good indeed.Interesting. I see a lot of members are using the ripped DVD route for viewing. I see a lot of difference in just DVD players. I recently was watching a original DVD of Hijack (cut from HD content). On my Oppo 983 I could see colour and clarity that my Pioneer 696 just could not show - both at the same resolution (720P) and onto the same TV. I am assuming at 1080P the difference will be even more glaring.
What I would like to do one day Madbull, is to come to your place with my Oppo 983 and watch the same movie from a original DVD and from a ripped version. Should be good information for all of us.
Cheers

Thanks Abhi. It all thanks to our forum which made me make an informed decision. Even the 45.5 offer is a steal for our members.

Okay guys here is my scorecard from my scribble pad during my analysis:
Parameter - LG - Sammy - Pana (scale of 1 to 10)
Design - 9.5 - 8 - 7
Sound - 9 - 8 - 7.5
HD PQ - 9 - 9 - 9 ( All std setting, Pana colours were natural and more pleasing after 20 mins of viewing)
SD PQ - 7 - 7 - 9.5 (Tata SKY - channels checked were HBO (Torque movie),Times Now (with news ticker), and Sun TV)
720p PQ - 9 - 9 - 9.5 (Iron Man on 720p .mkv format with DTS encoding played via my WD TV. Pana scored .5 more for the black and natural and smooth colours. BUT only a marginal bit)
Connectivity - 9 - 9 - 7 (Thats bcos i compared with Pana PV8)
So all in all I was completely happy with PV8 bcos:
1. I have a HTS so sound not a problem
2. All the DVD players have usb port so USB/SD Card slot was never a reason to think different
3. Design - I liked the matt finish of PV8 as it didnt reflect light unlike LG and Sammy
4 PQ - THIS is what a TV is for not for audio etc, this Panny PV8 won without any contention
5 Price - I got LG61 for 50k, Sammy 450 for 50k, and Pana 39990 on exchange ( so simple maths)
Having said all this, all 3 TVs are great. You chose what your eye likes and you will not go wrong with either of the 3 TVs. For SD content my humble opinion is that Pana is undisputed king/queen
PV8 is now available for 45.5K at JD which is a steal!!!

Yes. I repeat. PV8 is indeed stunning for SD.

Psyc: Yes, I have but my respect for Sammy has increased by leaps and bounds and it was SD that swayed my decision
Moserw: Will update as soon as I get my TV

Congrats MadBull.
I knew you were gonna shift towards Panny, if you managed to watched the SD content on both TV's simultaneously.
It's like a team here, Pv8 team, and A410/A450 Team hehe. Glad to see you in mine
I saw a major difference in HD PQ in between Samsung and Panasonic as i said earlier. You didnt. That's why i asked you to get your eye's help in such decisions. Lots of times, people come out with different conclusions for a same thing.
