So finally I moved to new age LED TV from my 30 year old 'Colour' Television Set from Bush... While most people have told me dont have high expectations with life of new TV, I did expect a lot with respect to features and customisation. To my utter disappointment, the software/OS on TV have not evolved a lot... Something as basic as setting custom volume for each channel is not available in the so called Samsung SMART TV PIP seems to be limited when you streaming content across multiple sources. But if you are watching analog cable, cant use it for multiple channels Controlling resolution in case if you want to lower it to match the analog signals is not available Readiness to play multiple video formats is also very poor. The biggest disappointment is that it cant even play dat files, when played through a pendrive Hardware There is no Video out feature in case if you want to record programs The remote control design is so poor and hasnt been upgraded to suit the new features. Something as simple as using Favourites menu requires you to press 4-5 buttons. Whats the use of adding to favourites if it still requires so much effort to be done I have no complaints as such with the Company and the brand, just disappointed that Television OS hasnt evolved at the speed of OS in computers and mobile phones. May be Google/Apple should focus on developing OS for device...

I think we should attend the call, accept their offer, call their representative some 15 kms far from the city (tell them that we have recently shifted to this new address) and once he reaches and calls us, we should tell them that just now we remembered that since we are in DnD, it will not be ethical for us to accept their offer.

Finally, I got Samsung Series 5, 40" LCD - LA40D551 from Dubai. I checked it in multiple showrooms and always found the best picture quality compared to all other TVs in the showroom including Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba. Got it for 2399 Dirhams. On the purchase day the price increased by 50 Dirhams and also Dirham got costlier by 75 paise in the week. Additional baggage (weight) costed 20 Dirhams + Ahmedabad airport asked for a duty of Rs 1086 and provided a receipt for the same. Total lending price Rs. 32500 with international warranty. Croma price is still Rs. 49,900. Changed the Dish TV with Tata Sky+ HD after searching a lot on net. Very happy with the result. Amazing pic + Sound Thanks for all your suggestion.

Port to TataCDMA (they wont hesitate to do porting) and ask for plan CallIndiaRoam399 plan... Rent:- Rs399 FREE HOME Usage:- Rs300 Usage in Home:- Locals 30p and STD 50p On Roaming:- Local/STD 50p, Incoming calls 2000mins FREE, 50p thereafter SMS:- 399 Local/STD/Roaming SMS FREE, 50p thereafter... -------------------------------- P.S.:- I am actually porting from Indicom to Docomo, due to lack of EVDO in my places... But since EVDO is there in Delhi (and Docomo is absent there), you can do the converse...

As far as 1080i is concerned, it will play on any HD TV (HD ready as well as Full HD) i stands for interlaced, which means when the frame changes, 540 horizontal lines change first followed by the other 540, as opposed to a 1080p or progressive scan, where all 1080 lines change at the same time. Since there is interlacing some people consider that the quality of a 720p source is than that of 1080i because of progressive scanning.
