Don't worry. If you wait a while the prices will be coming down! The 'meltdown' hasn't hit bottom yet!

Got PV80D on saturday from Devi after lot of confusion between LCD vs Plasma. It looks like i made good choice

. Today i checked usage hours(since lot of people talking about showroom piece getting delivered) through service menu and it shows 16 Hrs

Hi guys,

my 3 yr old LCD TV is missing picture and/or becomes non responsive after shutting down and restarting overnight. some trial and error works somehow. now that the prices have come down I will probably buy a better one but just wondering if anybody knows any quick fix. I want to wait till July since I may have a significant move coming up, and prefer buying it locally after I move. in fact I am also eyeing DLP projectors but wifey still prefers TVs.

a trip to the mech will cost more than the TV's value now

. The brand is NIKO.

Bought a 22" LG (model:22LG30R) for Rs.16,400/-

Found that at 4:3 aspect ratio, 22" means only 19.3" of usable size for 'normal' TV programs

Yesterday was returning from the hospital after the planned immunization schedule for my lil kid when just out of chance I visited Vijay Sales Hadapsar for checking out LCD & plasma TVs.

In an hours time after going through dvd & DTH sessions for quite a few lcds (bravia v series, samsung 4-5 series, lg 53 and jazz) and plasma (lg & panasonic) we decided to opt for the Panasonic Viera TH-42PV8D. I really liked what i saw.

Affordable plasma, great picture quality, lots of connection options - i have a psp, ps2, pc hooked up and there are still 2hdmi, 1 composite connection free. Simply awesome.

And all at a steal of 43500 converted to a 0% interest 6 monthly EMI (only for citi & HDFC credit card customers).

thanks man..........i have always been a panny fan to the core. My first career internship money went into a panasonic handycam (20k and fully worth it) nearly 4 years back and it was fully worth it. Then came the digicam (lumix series) - 250USD from best buy 3 years back. Again worth it. Simply no problems whatsoever.

And now the plasma - its so smooth - colours very natural, sound is average but rich. And best part is although being a plasma the screen does not have a glossy finish rather a matte one - a boon for late night movies and extended hours.

And sports look good too with a very small response time as well.

A well detailed review is on the cards in a weeks time - the only -ve point if any in this tv is that the menu does nto have too many features and is very simplistic. Good for an average user but IMHO i would have liked a lot more of software features and a PIP too.

Well for a budget this rocks though - and packs a punch.

How much does PV80 and PV8 costs in Devi now? I think showrooms were selling at 50 and 47k respectively.
