40" FULL HD TV. Sony or Samsung? Under 55k

[dejan]

I'm buying a 40" FULL HD TV. Which brand is better? Sony or Samsung? My budget is 50-55k

Sony 40 Inch Smart, is y honest suggestion

Picture and sound quality is way better than Samsung.

if you are in NCR, gaffaar market can offer you the same at around 31k, you can buy external warranty at 2000-2500.

Go for Sony. I bought a samsung thinking that they both are the same, but recently I stayed at a hotel which had Sony and I was bowled over by its picture quality.

How can Sony be better? When samsung is world leader in panels?

Do they really honor? Will they change new panel?

There are good panels and there are crappy panels. I am sure Samsung has pricier models that use better quality panels. But if you are going to buy a cheaper TV (The mistake I did with Vu), you are likely getting a crappy panel no matter what the brand is.

But I don't think Sony can provide better clear panels for same price

What people aren't getting is that they don't know the price of tv they saw in hotel

the processor also matters a lot i guess. the actual hardware that tunes the image on the display. this is where Sony has a lot of experience with jargons like bravia and trinitron. but samsung i imagine should have the best technology in the display market though i suppose they might not be bringing in the top of the line products to india or they are super expensive and people tend to pick sony over samsung even today when they go for a premium television.

i actually have an acquaintance where the auntie is a die hard fan of sony and she got herself a shitty sony smartphone even though i recommended a much better model in the same price range. she was like, either an iPhone or a sony. i am not going to get any other brand. too bad the sony phone she purchased was pretty mediocre for the price she paid for it.
