Regarding the installation, LG charges Rs. 1000/- + 14.5% service charges for products bought online. This is not for any wall mount fixtures etc., but just for the technician visit. The regular stores include this charge in the product price. I plan to have the TV placed on the entertainment unit. Hence I don't need the flexi wall mount unit. There is no option of rejecting this unit while buying the product from regular stores. | |

After hearing lots of horror stories from acquaintances who faced problems like burnouts, double-image and other issues fairly early and replacement cost of components pretty high. It may be a good idea to get some cover. Quote:
While the Magic remote is really cool, after getting the 6300, I installed the WiFi LG remote on my mobile and use it more often than the magic remote. The mobile remote app is very convenient and just needs a tap rather than a press with all functionalities. (only thing you can't do is switch ON the TV! with the mobile remote App ![]() | ||

Sorry Mate not sure about the Sony.. since I bought the LG recently the LF models are pretty good, no complains till now. LF series is real value for money where as the Sony/Samsung are a bit expensive! |

hi, any source for this? i know sony used AU optronics panels for their low end models and sharp panels for their high end models. i thought samsung itself sourced panels from other companies as it sells more TVs than it produces. but this information is a few years old. has the scenario changed so much? |

And I know that Sony used LG panels for a while about three years ago. I bought the 42W800 which is not typically a Sony size. The 42" IPS panel is what I mean. Sony used to sell 40" and they were VA panels. |

| ![]() Any experience with Mitashi TVs. I am not able to find any store with Mitashi. Online reviews for mide050v02 are good. It comes with 3 year warranty and is VFM. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wow, no wonder we're are in the same forum; our frequency also matches ![]() My primary requirement is to watch movies (Lord of the Rings sort of stuff). I checked out all of them in person and the reason for shortlisting these TVs: Samsung 48J6300 - Looked the best in terms of picture quality, contrast and black levels. LG 49LF6300 - previous experience with LG TV and their excellent service (that too matters, doesn't it ). The PQ was also ok and can be tweaked to make it look ok. Sony 50W800C - PQ was okay. I'm not particular about 3D. TV doesn't come with 3D glasses too! What confused me was: I solely relied on rtings.com reviews and they said that J6300 is an excellent panel, but has bad grey uniformity. W800C received good reviews and has good grey uniformity too. In fact it got a higher rating than the Sammy. However the PQ looked better in Samsung when viewed in the showroom. Maybe it has something to do with the picture settings. I've finally decided and bought a LG 49LF6300. The decision was purely because LG costed around 20k less than the Sammy and I personally didn't feel the PQ of the J6300 required that. I made the payment yesterday evening and got the TV delivered by 10pm. It's a Sunday today; they tried arranging an engineer for the wall-mount but he didn't turn up. So I opened it and got it setup on the stand. Interesting this is, I checked the usage hours and it reported the "total power on time" as 30 hours. Should I be concerned or is it ok? |

Sony in my knowledge has a few sources for the panels, Taiwanese Chei-Mei, Foxconn & S-LCD being the primary 3. Anything over and above 42 are usually Sharp panels. It is however their proprietary colour gamut software Bravia coupled with the X-Realty Engine along with local-dimming etc that make Sony a Sony. LG & Samsung do not even compare by a mile. From a user of a X8500 4K t.v, I found that 1080p looks terrible even on a 32 incher, this t.v at a little over 40 has 4 times that resolution. Future proof for a decade + the bomb-proof reliability of the brand. Last edited by dark.knight : 10th April 2016 at 22:44. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Picked up a Panasonic 32" full HD LED for 25,990/- from Vijay Sales last night. This is a replacement for the 40" LCD Sony Bravia in my parents' place that they've used for the last 5 years. It's been an indifferent experience for them so they've sworn off Sony for now. We went looking for Samsung/LG. Samsung was out of stock and LG was well priced but I hated the silver bezels which gives it a cheap look. Zoomed in on the Panny which in addition to 2 USBs and 2 HDMI inputs also has a PC/projector input. Plus full HD at a price that the other brands offer HD ready at. Pinged Navin and he said, "go for it". My Dad looked a little doubtful so I tossed in the assurance that if he doesn't like it, I will replace it for free with a brand he prefers! Delivery tonight. They gave us 3000/- as exchange for the kaput Bravia. So net price 22,900/- which was incidentally the upper end of teh quote Sony was charging to repair the screen (recurring issue: was replaced once under warranty). Will update on the ownership experience once it arrives. Have to put in a good word to the staff at Vijay sales, Goregaon. The display price was actually a Gudi Padwa offer that they'd forgotten to update. THey first told us it would cost 2,000 more but later offered it to us at the same price.
