Hi Guys,

I am in a dilemma... I have around 45K-55K budget. My main aim is to watch movies. Mostly downloaded content from the internet.

Should I go with a computer with a large screen or a 32" TV and home theatre?

I currently have HP Laptop with 4 GB RAM, Core 2 DUO and Win 7 for my computing needs.

I was planning on a 32" SONY TV as I am a hardcore Sony fan. Do you have any alternate suggestions. I saw some threads. But can you point out models which are better in the 32" range?

I am looking for full HD TV if I shoudl go for one.

I was thinking about that.... But if I go for a PC, then I can put on the computer at night for downloading etc....

But i think I am more inclined for a TV,... Can you suggest the best 32" LCD+ home theatre for under 60K?

has internet on tv facility too
Internet TV will take a long time to become mainstream in India. So should I invest for that now itself? I will probably change the TV every 4-5 years

you need DVD HT system for ur room?

Yes.. I would like to have a DVD HT system in my room. Not going for blu-ray now...

^^some sites have such results too they add many others charges IMO to get the profit..
anyways try to search for price on compareindia , priceindia, naaptol, tolmol, etc etc... they are more reliable. if they are nt correct they will gve u the price range in which the product will fall
