Hi
i need to get my home a 29" TV with a max budget of 20K not beyond that.
I have shortlisted these two

1. Samsung CS-29K44ML http://www.samsung.com/in/products/t...Specifications

2. Sony KV-SZ292M88
http://www.sony.co.in/product/kv-sz2...ite=hp_en_IN_i

which one should i go for? any better option available?

LCD TV's do come under 20K?wait sometime when prices drops.rather carrying bulky CRT's.

Dude u can buy Samsung's new slim CRT TV's .

i got a new one Last year n it's excellent , currently using it with Tata Sky n totally satisfied .

These new CRT's although not as slim as LCD's are much much slimmer than conventional CRT's , just check em out at the store and you'll know the difference .

Philips lasts longer than Sony. Sony products are always on the delicate side. Video looks better on Philips and audio is better on Sony.

If I have Sony and Philips available, I will pick up Philips.

Go with Samsung, what I hear about it have no Problem with Service so far. But have rumors that it closing service center at Lemington road, so be clear where is service center for Samsung TV.

Actually in both case,be it Audio or Video,Sony is the clear winner.Philips in nowhere near to the contrast & clarity vibrance which Sony's Television produces.I have seen most of the Philips models & have compared them neck-to-neck with Sony televisions & can safely say that Sony's visual quality is by far the best.If you want to check the real difference try playing a game on the PS2 on a Sony's CRT TV & compare it to a Philips TV.You'll clearly notice Philips models have a wierd fuzzy image whereas Sony have a very rich depth in it's colour & contrast which adds life to the videos.

From the above models I would say pick Samsung DNIE model as it's has a good price-to-performance ratio.Sure the Sony one's are costly but their shelf life is extremely longer than any other brand.

I bought Sony KV-HG29M80 in last week and it rocks.

Its mrp is 21990 but if u r paying by cash then it comes at 21000.

Truest me man, its amazing.

Sony TVs had been the best in terms of colour reproduction over the years due to their own picture tube technology called "Trinitron", compared to "shadow mask" and others for other brands. They were also much costlier. I think other well known brands have also come close in terms of picture quality.
Had been using Sony from 1982. Had used two sets for about 10 years each and then disposed. Using Samsung DNie for the last 3-4 years. (change not due to any particular reason. just happened to buy it)

^Yep I have used it since 1981.I had one of those bulkier one's which had a wooden furnish to it.Had to let it go as the picture tube had neared it's end & was almost about to die out.Shifted to BPL about 4 years back.Now I am planning to shift to either a Samsung DNIE or back to Sony again depending on which one is more affordable.Probably the former as it's more for the budget consious consumers.I would loved to have gone in for a 34' CRT of Sony but I am not sure what the pricing is at this point.But I know I'll end up buying a 29' anyway so no use.
