Samsung LA46F81B
Rs 2,00,000
When I reviewed the LA46F81B on its own, I considered it expensive and compared it to the Bravia; though it turns out that this one wins in price, at least against the Sony.
Lookswise this is as good as the Sony, and I would say quite similar. They look like brothers, after all they're partners in panel manufacturing, and so the factory can be called the common womb... but you get the drift. Touch-sensitive symbol buttons, glass strips on the bezel... this one makes me wonder who copied whom.
Feature-wise it is rich, with the DNIe proprietary stuff going on once you turn on the menu. Dynamic (not native!) contrast ratio is 25000:1. It’s full-HD of course, 16:9 panel. The connections are good, with 3 HDMIs, USB-in, component-ins and the rest.
The image is very clean, with minimal judder, graininess and other artifacts. The level is the same as the Sony, so I can't pick a clear winner here. In color too it's a close contest, but contrast and black levels? Sony takes these. This is really a play of the processing power and circuitry of the LCDs, and Sony just beats the Samsung in depth of black. But don't overlook the huge difference in price!
guys stop looking all this crappy review of things you and i cannot buy. the samsung a650 lcd which is full hd adn 52 inches is available for only one lakh rupees in usa...now we need to think of smuggling it into india. i checked the price the other day in hyderabad and its 3.30 lakhs...............no wonder we are a backward country and people still watch black and white tv with this kind of price differential
