I have two options 1) IFB ELENA 2) LG WD-80495NP, I liked design and look of the LG model, yesterday when I visited Digital Shoppy, he told me LG this model has got digital panel keys, if anything happens with any button entire panel has to be replaced, he asked me to go ahead with mechanical button models like whirlpool and IFB. (LG - WD-80495NP) What do you suggest? by yehitsme4u

It is correct that if the digital panel key gets spoilt the entire thing needs to be replaced. But, it is also true that these keys do not get damaged so easily. LG - WD-80495NP seems to be good choice.

I would like suggestion regarding the Vestar LCD TV (VB327500). I have been highly recommended to buy it but would like advise regarding its performance and after sales service. Feature wise it seems at par with other well known model. Please suggest. by talawadekar

Vestar LCD TVs have relatively cheaper LCD TVs having decent features. Vestar VB327500 having dynamic contrast ratio of 9000:1, faster response time of 5ms and decent connectivity including 1 HDMI Input. We are not sure about price you are getting, but it will be cheaper than other leading brands. As we said it is relatively newer entrant in Indian market, so we are not sure about its performance generally and its after sales particularly. If budget allows look for models from leading brands like, Sony, Sharp, Samsung, LG or Philips.
