Hey!

Looking for a FHD LED Smart TV (Non 3D - Dont really need 3D it gives me a headache)
Budget:- 40-60k (Preferably on lower side)
Size - 40"/42"
Option Considered - Samsung 40F5500 (Getting locally at 55k bundled with Free Samsung B.D. Player priced 6k), LG 42LN5710 (Getting Locally at 51k)

Really Going for LG now due to bigger size, lesser price internal recording and external recording to HDD/PD without any external device required.

Wanted to know if there are better options.

Choose between Panasonic TH-L42E6D and Sony KDL-42W670. Yo can't go wrong with either of them.

Some reviews of Sony and don't get confused by the model no. I have confirmed that 670A and 653A are one and the same.

I personally feel Samsung F5500 is a better option as you also get a Blue ray player with that.
