Getting both of them in almost same price +-500 INR.

But the confusion is, which one to go for?

Suggest me guys! Thanks.

Some comparisons would be great....

Can someone please reply to the above query.

Secondly, the LG piece has IPS panel & the Samsung one has S-PVA; which is the major part of my confusion!

32EH5000 is available for 32k or less.And it is the best option in that price bracket.

Thnx mate!

N what about the IPS panel that LG uses & the S-PVA used by the Samsung? Does it really make some huge difference?

Technically IPS panel is better, but in real life the case is not same everywhere.
The panels used by samsung are much better.Go for it without any thought.

i may be wrong here , when am going through the specs of E500R , i can see only one AV input.... this will be a problem if you are using DTH connection as well Hometheatre system together , which i am facing right now with my LG

Hi, bad_till_bones...
You may go for LG, if you wanna watch 3D effortlessly... For other thingies, Samsung!
Well, if you wanna watch something over HDMI, not Samsung for sure.. As @Baker said( I believe him), that he saw only an AV port... I am not sure of it

I can't say much about the Samsung model, but I will comment on the 32LS4600.

Straight to the point, this is a great basic TV. You won't get any 3D or Smart TV functions, but nonetheless, the quality of this TV is excellent. In basic TVs such as this, you only have one thing to consider -- the picture quality. I can attest that the picture quality of the LS4600 is surperb, and you won't regret it if you eventually end up buying it.

If you have any other questions about this TV, feel free to ask!

LG WRman Sherlock, out!

Samsung is doing panel lottery So you may get AMVA,SPVA or MVA panel
if version no is
AS-01,02 then you are getting AMVA panel made by AOU optonics
CH-01,02 MVA panel panel made by CHE MEI
AH-01,02 MVA panel made by Sharp
TH-01,02 S-PVA panel made by samsung

Out of these three SPVA Panel are better.Has more contrast and black level.While if you go with Sony from CX model you will definitely going to get a SPVA panel.

Between IPS and SPVA IPS may have wide viewing angle but don't have very good contrast and black levels.

Take a look at Sony 32EX310 too.

Would not be connecting it to a PC. Only for television viewing. And the distance would be around 8 feet to 10 feet.... Max 12 feet

Minion #24
Nov 6, 2012 at 8:33 PM
For that much distance you will not find any difference between HD and Full HD.Resolution alone is not a measure of picture quality it depends on lots of factor like processing engine and black levels.
Resolution is similar to megapixel in digital camera.

Just check first two letters in version no. if you see version no. starting from TS or TH it is a S-PVA panel made by Samsung.

As stated by Minion above -

If version no is -

AS-01,02 - AMVA panel made by AOU optonics
CH-01,02 - MVA panel panel made by CHE MEI
AH-01,02 - MVA panel made by Sharp
TS or TH-01,02 - S-PVA panel made by Samsung

This is how we can check the panels -

1. Without opening the BOX -

We can find the version number and the type of panel corresponding to it:

SS 01, 02, 03, 04 or SQ 01, 02, 03, 04 -> S-PVA from Samsung
CN 01, 02 -> S-MVA from CMO
BN 01, 02, 05, 06, 07 -> S-MVA from CMO
АА 01, 02, 03, 04 or АC 02, 04 -> A-MVA from AUO
AC 02 -> New panel A-MVA3 from AUO

=====================

2. After opening the BOX -

Firstly, you enter the SERVICE menu.

Switch off the TV; let the main power ON. Now press these buttons in the mentioned sequence - Info > Menu > Mute > Power. Now look for the "Type" line -

It would be something like this - 32A1AF0L

32 — screen size in inches
A — panel manufacturer (A = Samsung; D = CMO; L = AUO; I = CPT)
1 — frequency (6 = 50/60 Hz; 1 = 100/120 Hz; 2 = 200/240 Hz)
U — panel (A = Anti Glare; T = TN; U = Ultra Clear)
F — resolution (F = Full HD; H = HD; U = UD)
0 — 1st, 2nd panel and so on (1st = 0; 2nd = 1 ...)
C — backlight unit (C = CCFL; L = LED; E = Edge LED)

Now, finally about the Panel Quality - Spva>Amva>Smva

-------

Now, the worse part is, the box package Version checking is not a 100% sure method. And the second method, (although 100% sure thing) is not possible without opening the box. And that dealers don't allow!


Between, just because of this panel lottery system by Samsung; I am getting inclined to SONY KLV-32EX330 - KLV-32EX330 : EX330 Series : BRAVIA

I think we cannot challenge the superiority of IPS panel; which along with passive 3D technology give LG a slight edge over Samsung. Its LG 32LS4600 model thus scores over Samsung UA32EH5000R, despite some people's obsession with brand. Read more about IPS panel here: LCD types: TN vs. VA vs. IPS - Feature - TVs - CNET Asia

No doubt that technically IPS Panels are better but if you compare the samsung panels then you will find that they deliver better PQ, likewise sony also doesn't have IPS panels but still they are quite good, but they have one issues they doesn't play all video formats so people don't buy it.

The Samsung leadership in mobiles and tablets do not automatically translate into 3D TV technology superiority. You cannot ignore or belittle the wider angle view that 32LS4600 offers. Even tablet manufacturing companies sans Samsung are switching to IPS panel which shows a vote of confidence in the likes of LG. Check out this page: Tablets with the best screens | Android Atlas - CNET Reviews For Indian consumer pricing is a big factor and who wants to pay more for a same feature TV irrespective of the brand name.

I would have to argue that it depends entirely on preferences. Allow me to explain. For the most part, yes, VA panels have better black levels and such; however, IPS panels definitely have the edge on color accuracy. It is true that most people will look at black levels and contrast ratios as the "most" important component of what determines picture quality, but due to this, they tend to forget that color accuracy is very important as well. I believe the reason for this is because it's easier to see differences in luminosity as opposed to seeing minute differences in color. But if you were to compare the a VA panel and IPS panel side by side after they've both been professionally calibrated, then I suspect that many people may have second thoughts about which they believe to have superior picture quality.

Also, keep in mind that even if two companies use the same VA panel, the image processors will be different -- and how well the image processing is done will also affect the picture quality a great deal.

Well I am only talking about TVs and 2012 TVs at that. I think anybody can to Croma and other multi brand outlets and see for themselves who has better PQ. I have nothing against LG, but I've demoed the entire 2012 LG lineup and none impressed me with 2D PQ. All the models have poor black levels which really takes away the depth from the picture.

And color accuracy superiority doesn't hold true for TVs. There are public info on color accuracy from all review sites and it's VA panel sets that sit on top not IPS panel TVs (be it LG or Panasonic or any other manufacturer that use IPS panels)

Hope the 2013 lineup will be better.

Well, all I can say to that is that I'm sorry that the current line up of LG TVs disappoints you! However, I would have to argue that reviews are very subjective. For example, take a look at this review by CNET Asia. According to this review, the blacks are very inky and the color reproduction is excellent -- what more could you want from a TV? On the other hand, I do agree that I have also seen reviews that seem to think LG TVs are sub-par. So if you have seen the TVs yourself, and you are unimpressed, I hope next year's line up will be better for you! Hold out for the LG OLED TV!

I do want to reiterate, however, that while blacks are very important, they are not THE most important factor. Because if blacks were that important, everyone would just be buying plasma TVs, and no one would even look at LED TVs!

My disappointment is also down to the fact that LG is capable of producing some top notch sets like it did with the LEX8, LHX9500 etc. Those were excellent sets and perhaps amongst the best Televisions ever made :)

Sadly nothing in this year's line up comes close to such awesome TVs.

Hi, I am looking for a 32 inch Full HD LED television (with DLNA and 3D capabilities if possible and CMR >=100) but without smart features.
What is the difference between EDGE LED and DIRECT LED? Does the former have better picture quality or just lower power consumption??
I am open to SONY, SAMSUNG, LG, PANASONIC, PHILIPS and TOSHIBA (in decreasing order of preference) only.
I have done some researching and have come up with a few models that I am considering.
My budget is 35-40K (max).

1. SAMSUNG
i) UA32EH6030R @ MRP 45K (my favourite at the moment because of its 3D capabilities)
ii) UA32EH5000R @ MRP 35K

2. LG
i) 32LS4600 @ MRP 43.9K
ii) 32LV3500 @ MRP 40K

(Both these LG Models seem to have exactly the same specs and features, so what is the difference between the two??)

3. SONY KDL-32 EX650 @ MRP 47.9K (though I think that this is beyond my budget)

4. Panasonic TH-L32E5D

What is your opinion about these models?

32EH5000 is retailing for 33k and EH6030 is for 37k, thats the maximum price one should pay, it is known as the SRP, bargaining can be done on these prices too.
Dump all and get Samsung 32ES5600 if you don't want to go for a 3D as according to me getting a 3D TV is waste of money but thats my personal thinking.

Thanks man!

But what exactly did you mean by "SRP" ??

Can you please give me some idea of the prices of the TV's of the other companies, namely LG, Sony and Panasonic, if possible??

PS. I know that I will rarely use 3D but when you think about it that if for 4-5 K more you get a 3D TV instead of a 2D that also comes with 2 free 3D glasses, then I think that its a good idea to go for it!! :-D

And what is your opinion about PQ of Samsung vs Lg vs Sony vs Panasonic vs Philips LED TV's that come within 40K ??

Thanks again man, really appreciate your help!!

Panasonic stands no where and even Philips is not that good.
Lg is good in 3D TV Segment.
Sony is good but it doesn't plays much format(specially mkv format is not supported) and that is a big pain to me.
So now left is Samsung, in that EH5000 is a cheap and good option and EH6030 is the cheapest 3D TV I think, and we compare both of these two only then obviously EH6030 is good as it has got a 3D feature and cost just 3-4k more. But if we see ES5600 then technically it is a very good TV, and during diwali time there was a very good offer going on, during that time it was retailing for 39k with 51 movie pack+ WiFi Dongle+ Skype Camera so that was a very good deal, the it is retailing for 42k and Skype camera is not there too(Though not sure of the scheme and prices right now) but it can be easily bought for 40k or less anyday if you are good at bargaining.

Thanks again man, but could you explain what SRP means??
And can I get the EH6030R for 37K now??

Well Philips is actually better than Samsung and LG, maybe even better than Sony in that range. Panasonic is on par with LG. :)

SRP I think means Samsung Retail price, means Samsung Stores or any store can't sell it higher and even lower than that price, the billing will be of 37k only but bargaining still can be done as there is a lot of margin on these, you can get it for 35k easily if you bargain properly.Remember the the if the dealer is selling the same to you for 35k, most probably the the amount papers will be 37k

I have auditioned Panasonic models and have seen a couple of philips sets too but I haven't auditioned Philips new range, if you people say then I will surely audition them and will update my knowledge :)

@eduku- If Flipkart is offering delivery of LED TVs at your place then they are offering the old Samsung 32D5900 at a very good price i.e. 35.5k only, believe me that set is really very good(though it is an old model).

Hi, I am looking for a 32 inch Full HD LED television (with DLNA and 3D capabilities if possible and CMR >=100) but without smart features.
What is the difference between EDGE LED and DIRECT LED? Does the former have better picture quality or just lower power consumption??
I am open to SONY, SAMSUNG, LG, PANASONIC, PHILIPS and TOSHIBA (in decreasing order of preference) only.
I have done some researching and have come up with a few models that I am considering.
My budget is 35-40K (max).

1. SAMSUNG
i) UA32EH6030R @ MRP 45K (my favourite at the moment because of its 3D capabilities)
ii) UA32EH5000R @ MRP 35K

2. LG
i) 32LS4600 @ MRP 43.9K
ii) 32LV3500 @ MRP 40K

(Both these LG Models seem to have exactly the same specs and features, so what is the difference between the two??)

3. SONY KDL-32 EX650 @ MRP 47.9K (though I think that this is beyond my budget)

4. Panasonic TH-L32E5D

What is your opinion about these models?
Are there any other models that I should be considering apart from the ones mentioned above??

Thanks a lot Guys!!! :)

I was looking to buy a 32 LED and after extensive research I was able to find samsung UA32EH5300 with SVPA panel. Its a great TV with all smart functions and Full HD and surprisingly at a lesser price of 32eh5000. Only @ 29k. Great Deallll.

Initially I shortlisted 32EH5000 with FHD and 32EH4500 with Smart functiion but 32EH5300 is combination of both at a dirt cheap price.
