hi guys!
let me first congratulate the mods and the experts here who help out noobs like me, who dont have much knowledge of AV Equipment.
I have been on the forum for about a month now, only browsing through threads and trying to make up my mind on one tv to another and another and so on!
It was important for me to post, maybe an already asked question here since my requirements of a HDTV have not been completely addressed in any post i saw.
pardon my ignorance, if any!!
MY QUESTION (detailed, since it must be understood what my mindset is when im asking this):
i was earlier looking at LED's (32''), since it was the "in-thing" and so called latest technology. after going through a lot of posts in this forum, i switched to an LCD and finally a Plasma.
I auditioned LG plasma 42'' and found it much better in comparison to the LG LCD's and LED's on display wrt the PQ. Moreover, it was quoted for 2k less than the 32'' LED. i mean 10'' extra for a lesser price is amazing right.
my requirements/expectations/use from a TV:
my budget is 35k-40k (delhi) for either a 32'' LCD or 42'' plasma.
now my query.. after reading a lot of posts, i settled for the 42x30, which almost everyone in the forum has been raving about. i was just about to buy it, when someone who i told about my almost-purchase said "Plasma?? aah..thats old technology.. it looses gas and your tv will go kaput in a year or two!"
well i know that is not true after being here on the forum, yet I would need some detailed help on my purchase, keeping in mind my abovementioned requirements and budget.
so lets first settle whether it would be a LCD, LED or Plasma, before I bombard the forum with my specific questions about that particular type and model of tv.:sos:

my requirements/expectations/use from a TV:
- SD Tata Sky Television
- SD/HD DVD's (im not a videophile so i dont need a top end model)
- PS2/PS3 (to be purchased in the near future)
- wifi is not mandatory, but if i can stream youtube directly on my tv, it would be an added advantage
- no 3d
- no blurring
- no fading of PQ in a few years
- maintainance free
my budget is 35k-40k (delhi) for either a 32'' LCD or 42'' plasma.
