High Definition TVs Under Rs. 40,000
By: Gagan Gupta   |   Apr 03, 2007

Samsung CS29Z40
There are many advantages to having a CRT HDTV over a flat panel one. Firstly you'll get better sound, the contrast ratio will be better than any other budget model and your regular TV won't look bad on it either. Of course you're going to be limited to 29-inches and you'll get the black bands when you watch anything that's not of the fullscreen 4:3 aspect ratio.

With that said, the CS29Z40 offers a good range of connectivity options including VGA and DVI, and a resolution of 1366x768, which is essentially 720p. Of course, the best part about the TV is its cheap pricetag of Rs. 26,500.

Philips 29PT8836/94
All this while we've been telling you about really cheap CRT HDTVs out there and now you have it, the cheapest HDTV you can buy!

This baby will not only ensure great 'saas bahu' telly viewing, but will also allow you to watch movies in full HD. That's right, the Philips 29PT8836/94 supports the full hi-def resolution of 1080p. Of course you're gonna have to make do with component connectors instead of HDMI here, but that's hardly a concern for a bargain like this.

You can source this one for an MRP of Rs. 24,999 (even lesser if you're in good terms with the seller), which makes it a brilliant deal any way you look at it. Watch out for our comprehensive review on this model in the upcoming weeks.

Sony KV-DZ29M80
This may seem kind of pointless considering that this is a budget TV guide, but hey, if you have a budget to get yourself a 26" LCD HDTV, but would like to spend the same for a CRT HDTV, then this baby is right up your alley.

Sporting a max resolution of 720p, Sony does have a great advantage when it comes to pure picture quality. In fact I'd honestly say that it's would give the flat panels in its range a run for their money, but spending so much on a non-wide CRT TV just doesn't hit the right notes.

Rs. 36,500 was the best price I could find for this one, which kind of explains why I was complaining so much all this while. But, to each his own.

Be sure to chat it out in our forums.

Hi There Guys,I want To buy a PS3 whats it's price now, could you suggest the cheapest HDTV LCD or Plasma out in the market that offers 1080p or at least something closer which provides a great split screen multi player exp.for racing games as in normal TV's split screen gaming is dull.

I would also like to add that 99% of our broadcast are in 4:3 format and not in 16:9. This may cause the images to appear stretched in a 16:9 TV or your HDTV may display side bars distracting your viewing.

I hope that our broadcast industry soon finds out means for reliable and cheaper HD broadcasting.

Prices are coming down gradually but the models released in India are either outdated or feature a low-spec when compared to the overseas counterparts. But what's the point in selling HDTVs in a country where there is no HD broadcast. We are being deprived of the main thing which is HD and are forced to resort to SD.

If the manufacturers soon release stand-alone blu-ray / hd dvd players at reasonable rates along with studios releasing BD / HD DVD movies at regular intervals we can enjoy true HD.
