Best 42" LED TV from LG only..

[mk15]

Hi

Due to some contact of my friend in LG, I can get a good discount on LG LED TV range.

Pls suggest which is the best model in 42" LED from LG. I would be using it mainly for HD viewing on my Xtreamer and some normal cable TV viewing.

Also, whats the approx. cost for extended warranty for LG TV's..

Thanks

Go for LED 8500, eyes closed. It's a highly rated model worldwide.

Hi guys forgot to mention my budget is 55 to 70k...

LG 42LW5700. Good one for the price. If you can up your budget by 5,000 then look at 42LW6500 as kittu suggested.

5700 & 6500 are 3d tv's. Are they really worth it or should I go for a non 3d led tv like 5500

LG 42LV5500 is an option if you don't fancy 3D. There's some backlight inconsistency and lesser brightness as compared to 5700 at same size.

Get a demo.
Play a true HD content (like blu-ray).
Switch to movie mode.
Turn off all advanced processing options (like TruMotion, dyamic contrast).
Increase contrast to 85-90. Pump up brightness.

See which one you prefer and go with it

I really don't like SD on LCDs other than Samsung or high-end Sony. Too much tearing and blocking.
