VU LCDs are crap.
You won't get a good 40" LCD/LED in the budget that you have mentioned.
But I can suggest you one thing which you will surely like and is somewhere around your budget too.
Have a look at Samsung 43E 470, it is a plasma and will cost you around 34k.And that is the best option for you in low budget.

^^the price and size is quite good, except for he resolution. very less. maybe a 32 incher from sony is better.

The latest sony LED models are good but are very costly, costs above 40k, the good ones are around 45k.
Better opt for Samsung if you want a good 32" LED.
BTW that Panasonic one looks good on papers but I haven't checked it out, you better check it out in a showroom near you.

there is no max resolution.all lcd's have a native resolution & running them on any other resolution will result in bad picture quality.as for your answer i haven't seen any lcd of screen size above 32" having any other resolution besides 1080p.some 32" models comes with 1366*768(so called 720p)resolution.

For 40 inch and more invest in plasma they are cheaper than led and provide good color quality.

I won't recommend you to buy that particular model, once I was also attracted towards it just due to size but later on I realized that the picture quality is not good and it is not worth to spend money in that, rather I would suggest you to buy Samsung 40EH5000 Full HD LED TV which can be bough for 48k very easily or may less also.
