1. Budget?
Max 30K lower is always better
2. Display type and size?
LED 32" 3D is Useless for me.
3. Primary use of Tv/monitor?
Watching Serials on HD STB, Sometimes FHD Movies, No gaming at all
4. Ports Required?
at least 2 USB & 1 HDMI
5. Preferred choice of brand?
NO
6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
NO
7. Any other info that you want to share.
MP4, AVI, MKV format must be supported.

I had an Old CRT TV at my home from Videocon and is going to die very soon, So planing to buy a new TV. TV will stay at home, where mostly Mom, Dad and Dadi will watching news, dharmik & sas bahu serials, movies. "FHD movies will be played through USB, only when I go to home 3-4 days in a month."
I do not have experience in purchasing LED TV. Can go for Micomax if it worth it. I do not want to waste money on expencive TV as it will have Limited use at my home.

So folks I want suggestion on the basis of my requirements. Please Sugggest me a VFM for me.

if you want it to last long and vfm etc,trust me,stick to Sony
none of the other brands really last
phillips is decent if you dont have the budget for a sony

I have a Samsung TV for almost 3 years now and touchwood there has been hardly any problem.
I'm not sure why you have bias against Samsung.
I can understand Videocon etc.
I believe Samsung has good range when it comes to TV's.
There may have been instances where people would have issues with Sony as well.
Also in case the OP intends to watch various formats of movie/videos on TV it maybe tougher with Sony compared to Samsung.

ive owned samsung LEDs and LCDs,infact my other house still has 2 of them
Samsung failure rate is high and ive got capacitor issues soo many times along with the infamous 10 minute on-off issue

videocon is a jugaad company im afraid,the parts they use in their products are mix and match products from china
my TV technician even opened one up and showed me when I took my samsung for repair

currently I have 5 Sony tvs in my house itself,all running smooth and all from different gens
ive never come across any other TV brand to have this level of reliability
sony may have gone down in other products but TVs are still the most reliable and efficient

go for Philips. I also am a fan of Samsung but they're a bit expensive. :)
