Rated EER in official website for this Veritas Gold 1.0TSAC is given as 3.1, but you have mentioned as 10.53. How do they differ? by prakash.emani

EER is calculated by dividing BTU (British Thermal Units) per hour by Input Power in Watts. While this is being traditional formula, BEE uses different formula where by they convert BTU in BTU Watts. So it may seem little confusing to see their EER in smaller number than conventional EER.

Samsung LA32A650A1 is a Full HD but with a dynamic contrast ratio of 15000:1. Whereas LG - 32LG60UR is just a HD ready but having a contrast ratio of 50000:1. Which option is better? A model with Full HD or having high dynamic contrast ratio? Price is not a constraint. by sandeep_ibsb

As we said earlier there will be hardly noticeable difference between picture quality or detail in above Full HD and HD Ready LCD TV models of 32 inch. Here LG 32LG60UR is more of value for money choice with high contrast ratio, faster response time, 2 HDMIs and finally its USB 2.0 adding to its versatility. Its USB 2.0 supports Movie/Music/Photos, so its good deal. Since Samsung-LA32A650A1 retailed around for Rs 68,000, you have a choice of Samsung-LA37A550P1 which is 37 inch Full HD LCD TV around similar price bracket, otherwise for 32 inch LG Scarlet model is good choice.
