Please help me out again. The viewing distance for watching TV is 12 feet, mainly for dish TV and movies. Which LCD/Plasma I should go for? My budget is upto 80k. Thanking you. by shivkumar.pise7

For the mentioned viewing distance 46 inch TV is suggested. But in budget mentioned you can go for 40-42 inch Plasma or LCD TV. It is better to go for LCD TV, since LCD TVs have better resolution in comparison with plasma TV of similar size, capable of displaying HD signals and good for day time viewing too. For the budget mentioned you have better plasma TV choice of latest Panasonic-TH-42PV80H. While for the budget mentioned you have LCD TV choices like Sony-KLV-40V300A, Samsung-LA40A550P1 (Full HD) and Philips-42PFL7482/98 (Full HD). by Ganesh Pawar

Earlier I asked a question on the Cooking Range but no body replied, here I am again sending my question to you. What is better in terms of Cost, Electric Hot Plates or GAS cooking ranges? Such that LPG Prices are going up and also the Electricity Prices which one should i buy ? Thanks in advance. by manmohansharma

You can go for a combination system with 3 burners and 1 hot plate which will give you a balance of both. You can also look for brands Elba with electric heating system. by Priit Panadi

I live in New Delhi .Which is a better purifier Hindustan Unilever- Pureit or Eureka Forbes- AquaSure in terms of mainly water purification It should also have low maintainence expenditure & gives totally distilled & microbes free water. by adikumar2010

Storage purifiers like Pureit are affordable (around Rs 1,800) water purification solutions, as they operate without electricity, low on maintenance, easily available, no need for running water and easy to operate. They appear like traditional water filters, fitted with purification cartridge with multi stage purification. It basically has Pre-filter purification, activated carbon purification, bacteria disinfectant and water polisher/taste improver, so no distillation process present. Though storage purifiers are mass product with affordable price but are not that effective when it comes to water with high TDS level and smelly water with high contaminations. These water purifiers are suitable for areas which receive water from open source, having lesser degree of contamination and with potable water taste. You have another similar option of Eureka Forbes-AquaSure which you can consider, as there are lots of complaints broken taps of Hindustan Unilever Pureit along with delay in battery kit delivery process. In rainy season water contamination usually at high level with risk of water borne diseases, we would suggest you to have boiled water to be on safer side. by Ganesh Pawar

1. How is the sound quality of Pioneer - EV700DVD system? 2. Where can I buy this product in Kolkata? 3. Please compare this system with Philips - FWD876V? by kunal_dey

Out of above 2 models Philips - FWD876 seems value for money choice as it has sound output, 6.1 channel speaker configuration and better connectivity options including USB Port. Though Pioneer is reputed audio-video brand internationally, but its limited availability makes it hard to find. It is generally available through importers in specific cities but can be found in grey market. by Ganesh Pawar

Hi Ganesh, I have 5.1 inspire creative speakers, which are currently attached to my PC. However I would like to detach them and use it as a part of a music system. Please let me know what infrastructure (gadgets) do I need to attach the 5.1 speakers to a Ipod or any MP3 player... Thanks by katsaurabh80

You can connect any MP3 player to speakers via the headphone out connector, here you will need 3.5mm RCA audio cable which you will connect it with MP3 headphone out to sub-woofer. by Ganesh Pawar

Does Onida microwave oven Black Beauty PB28 has steam cleaning facility? by podi

Onida Black Beauty PB28 has a deodouriser but, does not have steam cleaning feature. by Priti Panadi

Hi, the water at our place is usually clean but at times and specially during the rainy season we have some real dirty and smelly water coming out of our taps. What would you recommend us - an RO system or a regular UV filtration. I have been looking at Kent RO models costing around 15 K. Please advise me. by nitin.bailey

It is common occurrence to receive muddy water in rainy season. If water you receive has lower TDS level than 500 mg/lit and has potable water taste then no need to install RO water purifier, as any UV purifier will be good enough. Normally UV purifiers have 3 stage purification which will take care of visible impurities, carbon cartridge will take care of bad taste and UV will ensure safe drinking water. by Ganesh Pawar
