Sony KDL-42W700B vs KLV-40R482B

[skasse]

Have read the thread on the 42W700B and given the wide ranging positive feedback on the PQ. I am torn between that and the "new" 40R482B model which is almost 10K lesser in price. Apart from the obvious 2 inch diff and the 'smart' features, are there any other major features/qualities in which W700B is superior to R482B?

Request anyone who has recently purchased R482B to share their experience.

Also, in Mumbai, any store that gives better discounts than Croma/Vijay Sales/Sony Center?

Don't buy R series Sony TVs. They are made by Foxconn in China and many have reported reliability issues with them.

Make sure you check viewing angles in this tv W700B as per your need..rest all is brilliant..(Smart features/USB read is little slow though)
