Flat Panel Television Question

Best 42" flat panel TV (Plasma) under 65k


Posted by joecoll on Apr 22, 2009


I know this might be a rather contentious issue, but I have the following contenders: the Samsung PS42A410C1 - I've got a price quote of 58k for it the Samsung PS42A450P1 - I've got a price quote of 65k for it Panasonic 42 PV8H - I've got a price quote of 65k for it. Because I started with the idea of buying a 32 inch LCD and then decided to be utterly irresponsible and up my budget, I am thinking I should be conservative and go for the Samsung 410, which seems to be a good model from reviews etc., Is it worth spending 7k more for either the Samsung 450 or the Panny PV8?? ANd considering that the PV8 has specs that are inferior to the Samsung 450, would the Panasonic's inherent superiority in making Plasma panels negate this difference. I know at the end of the day it is down to what I prefer when I see it, but I'd like your informed opinion as a guide. Thanks a ton in advance.

Among the Plasma's, I have only seen PV8H (& PV70) so far and I liked it. I would probably take a look at the Samsung's next week. I would request you to look at all your options on one day. I doubt if the Samsung HD Ready models can come close to the Panny PV8H going by all the online reviews. Try and get them to play cable/satellite TV when you are auditioning them. Strangely enough every shop has a standard excuse of Tata Sky not working or cable connection yet to arrive. By default they will be playing content from the HD generator. Insist that they play your DVDs. I think it might be a good idea to wait till Diwali to buy. Thats what I plan to do atleast
