7. Any other info that you want to share.
I'm posting this on behalf of my uncle, he wanted to buy a 55" initially but the room size isn't allowing it. Lack of multiple codec support wouldn't be a problem unless the TV couldn't play standard .mkv, .mp4, .avi files.

Can you elaborate the reason for your suggestion please

that TV does not support 1080p which is a total deal breaker

Supported Video formats: 1080i, 50, 60Hz, 480i, 60Hz, 480p, 60Hz, 576i, 50Hz, 576p, 50Hz, 720p, 50, 60Hz

Still philips warrnty service is very poor. My tv which is a 32" HD ready failed withina year and it took them 2 months to repair it.
Now it starts up even without pressing the power On button on the remote. Most probable a refurbished system board.
I will never buy philips again.

Have a look at Samsung 40H5100, if you bargain hard on that model in local market you will be able to get it for around 47k or may be less.
Superb picture quality + features at a very good price.

47k is way beyond my uncle's original budget of 35k

In 35k you won't find a good FHD LED TV.
Rather get a 32" model
