Cheapest 46" Full HD TV

[hatZim]

Let's assume you're at 10-feet for simplicity's sake.

The graph tells you that you're generally in the 720p band (for a 46-inch TV), and only if you're going to watch at 8-feet or closer would 1080p quality be appreciably visible to you. Even at 50-inches and at 10-feet viewing distance you'd actually be OKAY with a 720p set. You need to buy a 60-inch set and watch it at 10-feet, only then will you really visually appreciate 1080p quality. The reason why we appreciate higher resolution monitors is because we sit so close to them and our viewing distance tends to be in a couple of feet.

I won't add a disclaimer here, and tell you that this varies from eye-to-eye and all that nonsense--it actually doesn't vary for the average human eye. The fact of the matter is that viewing distance and resolution go hand-in-hand, it's great to have 1080p, but 720p isn't the end of the world for regular video content viewing. However, I don't want to lose sight of the fact that you're going to play games, and that means that often enough you will have text on the screen and it will look sharper on a 1080p set. So I'll conclude that 1080p is what you should get.

A 50-inch full HD Plasma set for around 60k--I would take that in a flash. But if we stick to your budget then this model is the next best thing: the LG 47LD460: LG 47LD460 : Televisions : Features, specification, reviews, online price, deals in India - Compare India

It's an older model, but it is available, pick it up if you find it.

This TV is not available in delhi/NCR tried all the electronic stores,so I called and asked the sellers that are on compareindia, they told me its no longer available and even if they have it, they will not ship it to delhi because there shop is in mumbai.

I have many options in 50" plasma but all are 720p that's the problem.

[hatZim]

I will try and help you get this model, if you have decided to buy. Give me this weekend to find out where it's available in the Delhi/NCR region.

[adikumar2010]

If I can't get this than we have to find out alternate option also in the mean time.

And even if I stretch my budget to 60k then also the Plasma TV that you suggested me earlier: Panasonic VIERA TH-P50U30D (Panasonic VIERA TH-P50U30D : Televisions : Features, specification, reviews, online price, deals in India - Compare India), this is also not available in delhi.

Is this plasma TV 3D also?
And is this correct, UT30D (http://www.panasonic.co.in/wps/porta...smatv/p50ut30d) or different one (U30D)?

[hatZim]

I should have an update on the availability of the 47-inch LG in a bit, will let you know if it can be made available to you in Delhi/NCR.

The Panasonic P50UT30D is indeed a Plasma TV, what price are shops quoting for this model?

[adikumar2010]

Panasonic P50UT30D is not available any where, I tried around 7 shops. What can be done now regarding this TV ?
Its no where, I called every shop that is on compareindia website.

[hatZim]

Tough luck adikumar2010, just as you found out: the model is available here in Mumbai, but isn't available in the Delhi/NCR region.

I have asked some contacts in the CompareIndia dealer network to give us options with your requirement, let's see what they come up with.

[adikumar2010]

Panasonic P50UT30D and LG 47LD460 are both not available in Delhi?

So what is the next best option under 60k now?

[hatZim]

Sorry, only did the checking for the LG model, will get info on the Panasonic model shortly...
