The HX800 is edge led with limited local dimming zones,even the dimming set to Off,its blacks levels are one of the deepest in lcd.
WIth the freebies its VFM.
It however will be replaced by the HX820 with a new image processing with better motion,better panel and more features but will be launched only around july or august.

Altough not a 100%, but I am quite sure, that there is no 50" 3D TV even close to that price range.
Any 2-D to 3-D conversion done either by the TV or a Blu-ray player is useless and you will be much better off simply watching the 2D programming in 2D. Yes, the 3D blu-ray player will convert the 2D DVD to pseudo 3D, but will it be any good, is another question.
Anything smaller than a 50" TV, from a distance of 13.5', will be too small. You must specially keep in mind, that a 3D picture makes everything look relatively smaller, compared to a 2D picture. Thus, make sure you buy the largest size 3D TV you can buy within your budget, even if that means compromising a little bit on other things. Even a few inches matter, in other words do not buy anything smaller than a 50".
Video gaming is not an issue on plasmas. Infact gaming is generally better on plasma TVs.
The 'tube' light is no problem at all.
Placing the TV a foot forward from the wall (tube light), will have some beneficial effect, but the gain will be marginal only. You can ofcourse try it out, before you fix the location of the TV and see for yourself.

A quote from the review itself;
"This means that, in spite of featuring superior Greyscale tracking, the Panasonic VT20 Plasma is still a superior 3D performer thanks to its relative freedom from distracting crosstalk. We are glad to see that the competition is catching up, though, and hope that the next generation of LCD-based 3DTV displays will reduce the crosstalk somewhat."
Bottom line: The Panasonic VT20 series is still the king of 3D TVs. In any case, a 40" TV from a distance of 13.5' might as well be 720p, for there is absolutely no benefit of FULL HD from that distance. Add to that the fact that, 3D makes everything in a picture look relatively much smaller and you have a no contest between a 50" Panasonic VT20 and the 40" Sony 40HX803.

For the price of 50VT20, we can easily get the 46HX800 and still save some (17-18K). No?
This will reduce the difference between the 40" and 50" regarding the viewing distance.
What all comes bundled with the 50VT20? Please advise?
With 46HX800 we are getting 2 (or 3) 3D viewing glasses, a Blu Ray Player (3-D??), and 9 3D titles in Blu-Ray.

I think panny is giving 3D glasses and avatar movie.. but pls. confirm.
pls. go through the size vs distance recommendations.
if 50" prices are same, then VT20. the 4" difference between 46 and 50 incher is really bigger than you think.

Better yet, get the 40" and you can save even more. It's sad they don't make 3D TVs in even smaller sizes than 40", then you could have really saved quite a bit. Just kidding.
But seriously, are you looking for advice on the best TV within your budget or are you looking for the cheapest option. Even then, a TV can only be considered cheaper, if the size and functionality is the same as the other.
A 46" TV is substantially smaller than a 50" TV. Don't be misled by the 4" diagonal difference between the two, which translates to only a 8.7% increase from the 46" to 50" screen size. In actuality, a 50" TV has a 18.15% larger picture than a 46" TV. Also, many people question why a 50" TV costs so much more than a 40" TV when the difference is only 10 inches (25% increase). The reason is actually quite simple, the 50" TV actually has a 56.25% larger picture (screen size) than a 40" TV.
TV Size - Width" x Height" = Picture Area
32" - 27.9" x 15.67" = 437.27 sq in
40" - 34.87" x 19.59"= 683.24 sq in
42" - 36.62" x 20.57" = 753.27 sq in
46" - 40.1" x 22.53" = 903.58 sq in
50" - 43.59" x 24.49" = 1067.56 sq in
55" - 47.95" x 26.94" = 1291.74 sq in
58" - 50.57" x 28.41" = 1436.5 sq in
65" - 56.67" x 31.84" = 1804.17 sq in
Extras and bundles items should only be looked upon as bonus and should only be taken into account if all things are equal. It makes no sense to buy an inferior TV, simply because it has a better promotional bundle.
PS: The Panasonic VT20 comes with atleast 'One' pair of 3D glasses and the 3D blu-ray of Avatar.

Extras/bundled items are generally what we have to buy anyway to enjoy the TV fully. A total of 3-4 glasses and a Blu-ray player (3D?) are definitely needed.
I think the VT20 is coming with just 1 pair of spectacles. We would need at least 1 -2 more + Player and titles for 3D (Otherwise what's the point of taking a 3-D TV?). Total I think would exceed Rs. 25,000/- or so. Total cost will definitely be reasonably above 1.8L. :-(

The LG 47LX9500 has been quoted to me at 1.46L.
What should come bundled with it? Is it good for the price?

you can add more eyewear later.
giver the scarcity of 3D content, a single 3d glass wont be a big factor as of now.
you will see compatible chaper generic 3D glasses in future..
btw, the 42" GT20 3D TV is listed on panny india website..

My humble belief is that 3D looks good on bigger screen size. Since 3D movies are made in full hi-def, it can be watched from closer distance to give complete movie experience. So 50" for home use will be good one.
