LG is fooling peaple by simply adding DVDp cost into TV price ,then deducting it when one dont need it.
pretty much every company does that,i mean there is no such thing as free lunch
.also i read some where that those free dvds are all ripped version,with useless movies.So I finally went ahead and got the Samsung 32" B530 FHD LCD yesterday for the bedroom. Chose this over the LG primarily due to the price and the sales experience in the Samsung showroom was a LOT better.
It looks pretty good with normal Airtel feed. Viewing distance is around 5-9 feet, depending on where on the bed I'm viewing from. The other source is WD TV. I don't have much movie content now. But will be building it over time. Checked out my own QoS DVD vob rip. Looked lovely.
Only gripe as of now is the shiny plastic frame:
- it reflects lights in the room and distracts a bit. I would have preferred matt.
- it is a dust magnet !
I felt that the PV8 has a much better build quality. Feels well put together. The Samsung feels relatively flimsy. The stand, the TV itself, the AV sockets.
Overall wonderful set.

Congrats Shuv, do post feedback on how WDTV Full HD rips are displayed.
plasma usualy have a thicker plastic,since the weight of the PDP is much heavier then LCD panel,so it no suprise.but i agree that samsung build quality isn't the best,the AV sockets do move a bit or even go inside a bit while connecting cables.

well i have the panasonic india entire product list catalog,that i got at a expo.
the specifcation is exactly the same as X10 except the X9 lacks side A/V input.rest of the specs atleast from the catalog are identical i.e dynamic 20k contrast,60000hrs,ips alpha etc.

Thanks,
I hope HDMI are 2 atleast?We cldnt see avexpo this yr & so dont know abt Pany other models.Which model do you recommend from new Pany range?
How do grade the performance?
yes it does have 2 HDMI according to the spec,like i told before i only got a look a the X10.which doesn't offer much improvements over last years model,although it appears they have fine tuned the dynamic contrast algorithm.

X9 is available nowhere on any of Pany web.:sad:
Don't have any FullHD rips as such. I 'briefly' checked out a Hitman print today. Blu-Ray rip compressed to around 4GB.
Looks flawless from normal (8-9) viewing distances. A bit grainy from up close (1-2ft). But that's expected I guess.
TV is, as I said, pretty good. Here too the pixelations are more evident up close and also pixelations seem to be more than the PV8 - again, both being viewed from around 2-4 ft.
But at the same time, from that close, the 530 picture looks smoother compared to the plasma, since in the PV8, the pixel dot's are somewhat visible. The LCD having double the pixel density packed in a smaller size panel, does not have those 'minute dots'.
I spoke to a person from Panny (contact given to me by their CC)
He said the x9D is identical to the x10 except the colour of the metallic arch near the bottom.

I am given price of 32LF-20 Rs.32500 & 1500 less for old tv.
32LH35 for 34k & again 1500less in exchange @ vijaysales...
Raj.
I would suggest you to checkout Ezone located near Ashoka pillar rather than Rajaji nagar. I visited Ezone Rajajinagar twice and came back without buying one as i did not like the sales guys attitude. Also i feel theres diff in price in Rajaji nagar and ashoka pillar branch.
If you wanna buy samsung, then go to 32B550. If LG, you can buy LF20 for 32K and LG80(Jazz) for 38K.
I got the quote and bought it too at 33K
I see you are in Bangalore. I bought the set from the Samsung showroom (Fundamental electronics) at City Centre Salt lake.
The model no (if i recall correctly) is 32 B530 P7R
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
