A big issue with a lot of these TVs will be the ability to service and availability of spares. Hitachi in my opinion is not that well setup in India and will certainly have problems. A friend had a problem with his 42" plasma early this year and was able to get the problem rectified after 2 months. Companies like Samsung and LG have entire assembly plants here and even if they arent making that particular model here, they have the necessary supply chain in place to source parts from their other factories. If you arent that concerned about this issue then also look at Sharp Aquos, excellent TVs.

cheers.
