ST7677,
Wow. Now that's an eye opener. What a wealth of information there. Thanks. So in effect, you're saying that at my viewing distance of 12-13 feet, HD-ready 50PV80 or full HD 50PY850 wouldn't make a difference.
Well, then I don't see any point spending even 125k on the Samsung full HD 50 inch plasma, let alone spending more on other brand plasmas.
Just got a call from the Panasonic brand shop here in Chennai quoting a best price of 107k for the 50 inch 50PV80. Do you guys feel this is a good deal ? I think this is the closest we can get in Chennai (that too from a brand shop) to Devi's price of 104k for the same 50 inch plasma.
Let me know what you guys think. Wifey and I are still in the process of working out some calculations for the purchases for the new house. So it still hasn't been decided - whether to go in for a 42 inch or 50 inch. But if it is a 50 inch plasma, then Panasonic is the one. If it's 42 inch, wifey loves the LG 42PG61 frameless model and its USB port, so maybe I will go that route, in which case we will pick up a 50-inch one sometime in summer 2009.
Warm regards,
Venkat
