Would be travelling to Malaysia and Singapore in March & would like to buy an LED TV. I have zeroed in on https://www.samsungindiaestore.com/Products/Television/40ES5600_40ES5600 The cost on online Samsung store is 62K, But the prices in retail is almost 52K.

Am basically looking for 40" LED full HD. In case there are any other models which are similar specs (Sony/LG), Please recommend me.

Also, If anyone has bought TV from the above countries let me know the shops and the procedure from customs.

Thanks!
 
If you guys are planning on a 3d tv,please look for bundle offers for tv+brd player.i hear they have some great offers out there in singapore

Got the TV installed an hour back. Really impressive picture quality. You realize the difference when you move up from a 32" videocon tv. 1080p looks gorgeous. I don't think 10 ft. viewing distance would be a problem, i am viewing it from around 12-13 ft. and it looks fine. There is an android app which you can use to control the TV.

He bought via SBI Credit Card and was charged 2% extra. it came to ~35.1k in Indian currency and he was charged ~35.8k. BTW the Samsung guy took 1k for installation since it was wall mounted, he had to install the wall mount etc.oh and BTW Malaysia is apparently considered a "high risk" country. When I went there and came back, I received a call from RBS and my mom and dad from ICICI and SBI that we would be issued new credit cards because these ones had been used in Malaysia.

Last year when i bought a tv from dubai shopping fest i installed it myself by hiring a drill machine from an electrician.anyways he would have done it for me in the same money,but anyways my point is its simple and can be done by any electrician in 200 odd rupees.
