Hi,

Yeah I have one thread that is already there.... But thought of opening a new one, as the confusion has totally changed.

Confused between these three 32 inches LED's -


1. Samsung UA32EH5000R (Full HD) - It was my first choice. But there panel lottery system is making my mind shaky!

2. SONY KLV-32EX330 (HD) - Suggested by Minion (fellow member). And to be honest, even though it is only HD; but I found the picture quality of this set better than the Samsung one. Plus it has natural colors & a better color depth.

3. Philips 32PFL6357/V7 (Full HD) -This is a new entry in my list. And this set is the cheapest in the lot & has some real good reviews.

So you guys can understand by now! I am totally confused!!!!


Which one to choose from these three?


My usage -

The set would only be used for viewing Television; not as a PC monitor n all. Secondly, I have a Videocon D2H Standard box (no HD) at home.

Demo the Philips model and get it if it's PQ is good :) Otherwise get EX330

Just came back from Chroma! Took a friend along with me....

Samsung one is out of contention. Now it's between these two -

SONY KLV-32EX330 (HD) or Philips 32PFL6357/V7 (Full HD)

Firstly, the Philips model is not available! At least not available in Chroma, Reliance Digital & More retail outlets.

Now what I noticed about the Sony set -

- Picture quality is pretty decent. Best part is the sharpness it shows; black colors are far far better than Samsung.
- Audio quality - Sony is way ahead. If we also talk about the volume level; Samsung's full volume & Sony's 50% volume are approx same.
- And according to the salesperson of Chroma, Full HD or HD will not make any significant difference on a 32 inch screen. Full HD is ideally made for 40 inch or bigger. Don't know, it can be a selling tactics too. But, the logic seems a bit practical to me.

Will visit another market in the evening and will try to locate the Philips 32PFL6357/V7 (Full HD) model. If it's not available; will most probably go for SONY KLV-32EX330 (HD) model.

Hope it would be a correct decision?

That's a fact actually. 32 inch size you won't notice difference between Full HD and HD. :)

Try and check with philips dealers if you can get demo of the Philips model. Mostly it should be very good.

WHat price are you getting quoted at the shops ?

I too have very little knowledge about LEDs , i've read in another forum that you can get these much cheaper in Grey Market ( they have warranty as well ) , is that true ?

They don't have warranty. They are "not so legally" imported from Thailand and other countries.

You should create a new thread instead hijacking an existing one! That way, at least you'll get more coverage. Create a new thread, and I'll answer the question for you!

LG WRman Sherlock, out!

Would you elaborate on the matter. Why don't you agree?
Is the difference noticeable?

Yes it is easily noticeable.
If you believe I am wrong then visit a showroom near you and experience the same.
