I am planning to buy 32" LCD TV but I am confused between the 2 LG Jazz models 32LG80FR and 32LG80UR as one is Full HD and other is not. Please let me know the meaning of these 2 terms and is there any difference between the 2 models in terms of picture clarity and sound. I am mainly using my Tv for normal cable broadcast and DVD movies downloaded from the net. Which model will be useful to buy considering price difference of around Rs 3,500 best CI price in Mumbai? by hotguy1975

You have rightly mentioned that LG 32LG80FR is superior in terms of resolution, contrast ratio and has slightly faster response time, while rest of the features are similar. Although in 32 inch segment difference between resolution and resultant picture performance will not have noticeable difference. We would suggest you to take demo of both models, to see whether these additional features do make really a big difference, if you fill its is better in performance then go for it. Most commonly you must have heard terms like HD Ready and Full HD LCD/Plasma TVs. Both this terms refers to resolution of display and its capability to display HD content from compatible source. HD Ready TVs have maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and while displaying 1080p signals it will have do some resizing, which may result in loosing some of the content. While 1920 x 1080 is Full HD resolution which will display 1080p signals without any resizing, giving complete pixel to pixel representation. by Ganesh Pawar

Is Sony HT DDW685 value for money in terms of sound quality compared to other models in this price range? by nityanitya1972

Sony HT-DDW685 will five good sound performance in smaller set-up considering its speaker configuration and truly one of good component HTS in given price range. But its limited connectivity option seems cause of concern, still if you can manage with it then go for it. You have other economical options from brands like JBL, Yamaha and Onkyo but they are little expensive. We would suggest you to take demo of Sony HTS for sound performance and see if connectivity is sufficient. by Ganesh Pawar

Is it a good time to but a LCD in India or one can wait to see further price reduction and better products. Although world over every company charges a hefty premium on new products, but if one has to go for a 40 or 42 inches LCD with HD option. What would you suggest and which brand from LG, Samsung, etc? by behlvijay

You will get a better price for the products considering recessionary trends, but there are less chances of new product launch. LG and Samsung both are good brands with quality products. You have choices like Samsung-LA40A550P1, LG-42LG80FR and Sony-KLV-40S400A. by Ganesh Pawar

Thanks a lot for the reply. But you did not advise about how VU LCDs compare with Sony in durability, reliability & performance? What is the track record of this company. Please advise as I am thinking of buying VU LCD as it is promoted by CROMA, a TATA enterprise. by ramki_talluri

VU is promoted by Zenith in India, being Mumbai based after sales service will be prompt. As for the price which is really tempting and has good features as well, so in a its value for money choice. Check their website for warranty and after sales service terms, if you find them proper, then no harm in considering VU as choice. While Sony is a respected MNC, been around for decades has good products with good build quality backed by wide spread after sales service. Take demo of Vu models along with competing Sony and Samsung models, then choose one which you find impressive. http://www.technologies.vu/ by Ganesh Pawar
