Performance
This TV requires 16 amperes to run, so it comes with a plug that's used for things like air-conditioners. Make sure you have an outlet of that caliber, or an appropriate extension box. We plugged in a Pioneer DVD player via HDMI and also a desktop machine with Transformers HD version. The PS3 was waiting in line, jumping around like the attention-seeker it is. Calibration did not take long; the factory settings were pretty much aligned optimally.

Brightness and contrast was quite good, with nice delivery on still or slow moving landscape images. Object-oriented, high-detail images were okay, not too special, as the detail and sharpness of the TV lacked a certain sizzle that I've seen in other TVs. It wasn’t washed out or anything, just blurry where more precise lines should have been.

Motion scenes were satisfactory, but slight motion blur was visible, along with the usual suspects: jaggies and dotcrawl, though in small amounts. The color, on the other hand, was as good as the high-end czars of the LCD market, and this is without any marketing claims of proprietary features, at least not any that I noticed. The palette was vast and widely encompassed lots of intricate hues.

Conclusion
So here's another name to consider, and at a reasonable price. Rs 1,25,000 for a full-HD 47-inch device is a value pick. But again, videophiles and discerning customers need to take note of the slight discrepancies that surfaced. A demo is definitely recommended though.
