Now I have been doing some research on these models but so far I have not been able to come to a conclusion. These are all HD ready model. I don't want Full HD.
I will be viewing 70% HD Movies via WD Live and 30% SD channel. Sound quality is not important.
In my order of preference....
1.Sony KDL 32CX320 Price Rs. 30900/- after burgain + Aitel HD TV free Link []
Main features
# Live Colour Technology with Advanced Contrast Enhancer
# BRAVIA Engine 3 (old 2010)
# USB Play (Video, Music, Photo)
# Light Sensor Technology
# Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)
# 24P True Cinema
# 3D Comb Filter
2. Sony KDL BX320 Price Rs. 29900/- after burgain + Airtel HD TV Free
Main Features
# BRAVIA Engine 3 (Old 2010)

3. Samsung : LA32D400E1 ( New 2011 Model) Mrp. 29900/- ( can be burgained @ 27500/-)
Main Features
# Wide Color Enhancer
# DNIe+ Picture Engine

Now as you can see there is no theoretical advantage of any sets on paper of any one these sets. But I went to Reliance Digital and Sony World to judge their performance:
Sony KDL 32CX320 and Sony KDL BX320
Almost indistinguishable from one another; Here are the pictures of models
In Reliance Digital these two models were playing customized HD clipping from various films and football match. They both have very good viewing angle. Black level and contrast were pretty deep. White balance was accurate. There was no significant difference in picture quality. They were both Good.
But in Sony World, when these models are playing Nat Geo HD, I noticed some trailing / ghosting. I am not sure if it was the poor signal or the panel which caused it.
SD channel was not good as the signal had a lot of noise but after all its SD.
Lets come to Samsung model. Here is the image
Picture appeared somewhat lackluster. Colours are a bit under-saturated. But HD picture appeared smooth. SD viewing was ok.
The main deterrent behind the Samsung model is ofcourse Panel lottery. I have checked the models in Showrooms they have SQ / PQ / AA / HN (?) Panels. So I may be getting any one of them.
There is another model from Panasonic VIERA TH-L32X24 (Rs. 29000/-) Link X Series | VIERA LCD TV | TV | Digital AV | Products | Panasonic
which I was considering it but after viewing the model in several showrooms, I dropped it from my list.
Now need some inputs from members to seal the deal.
Waiting for your suggestions....
