Looking for an inexpensive 32inch LCD TV sony or samsung - Blu-ray Forum

Mukhtadir · 05-06-2009, 02:56 PM

can you guys please help me out in choosing among these two models

samsung LA32A550P1 5 series 32 inch full HD

sony KLV-32V400A/B V series HD ready

both are almost the same price here in India (sony slightly higher). Also, is there a prominent difference in clarity between HD ready and Full HD at 32 inch.

thanks in advance...

anywhere from 4 ft to 10 ft.. will that have an impact in choosing between a HD ready and a full HD TV? also will be getting a PS3 so for gaming which of these 2 models will be better

Mukhtadir if you have the dough/rupees I would suggest you stay away from "HD ready" sets and get the full HD [And by that I am assuming its 1080p]. I dunno if India has HD channels already but if they are in the pipeline [bound to be in the future right?] why settle for less? You don't wanna turn around and two years from now regret it!

1080p is pointless on a 32" tv, you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a tv that size. Save the cash and get a good 720p set.

hey thanks guys for your responses..

actually the samsung is cheaper and its Full HD (1080p), the Sony is HD ready.. but as mentioned i have heard that that at 32 inch you cant tell the diff between HD ready and Full HD..

I have also heard that sony is the best in terms of quality and if HD ready and Full HD are not going to make a difference at 32 inch then I dont mind going for the sony. If buying a full HD does make some difference at 32 inch then i will go for samsung.. Also brand wise there are lots of threads on various forums sony vs samsung and i am just confused..

Moreover, India does not have HD channels yet

A 1080P TV At 32" Means you will have to be a few feet away to notice the difference in resolution! At that distance a 720p tv will be good enough and cheaper. To be honest a 37" 720p set will be ok also at that distance but yeah for 32" 720p will do fine!

wafi · 05-07-2009, 05:42 PM

Well I was thinking going ahead if you were considering a blu-ray player then a 1080p set would be nice but yeah by all means if you find a 720p that is cheaper then by all means go for it!

1080p would mean diddly squat at 32 inches

Mukhtadir · 05-07-2009, 06:37 PM

hey guys but tell me sony or samsung

That would depend on you...some like Sammys others Sonys. If you can physically be in front of them [to tweak etc] then that would make things easier as far as picking one of the two.

I am free to give my opinion to the OP arent I? Yes I know it doesnt make a diff to the naked eye at that size. Settle down mate!

Tell that to my roommate's 23 inch computer monitor that does 1200p!

Mukhtadir · 05-09-2009, 06:36 AM

i think ill go for sammy... slightly cheaper and full HD although full HD wouldnt matter at 32 inch as most of you guys have said but still psychologically it will matter to have a full HD TV

thanks guys for all your expert advice

Mukhtadir · 05-09-2009, 06:43 AM

Mukhtadir · 05-09-2009, 08:36 AM
