Hello,
Finally I had to upgrade from my beloved 29" Sony Wega flat TV after more than 15 yrs of fantastic service, kept the faith & booked a Sony HX850 at EZone.
Also took the Sony 3D DVD offer with free, total came to about 89k. This includes TV, bluray DVD player, HDMI cable, 3D movie, Three 3D glasses in total.
I wanted to go for Panasonic plasma 42", but the recent reports of their Plasma division not doing well & rumors of service problems spooked me.
Other options considered were 42" LG & Samsung 6-series in the same price range, I chose the Sony model because of:
- Better online reviews & ratings
- Picture quality looked equal or better than Samsung, LG was weaker
- Samsung was giving a home theater bundle which I did not want, they wouldnt discount or replace with a bluray player
- Quite satisfied with my Sony brand purchases in the past.. TV, VCR, CD player, Handycam....
Also, Ezone had a scheme of 0 cost EMI for 14 months, which works out to almost a 10% discount over time.
Delivery is expected today, installation tomorrow, I couldnt find the checklist - would appreciate if someone could point me to it.
I am told the sound quality of the TV is pretty good, but I might augment my experience with a JBL Harman Kardon SB-16 2.1 soundbar.. anyone have any experience with it? My wife absolutely hates cables all over so I cant think of a full home theater right now.
