42–43 Inch TV under ₹50,000 — Sony vs Samsung vs LG vs Others
I’m in the market for a 42–43 inch TV under ₹50,000. My priorities are:
- Picture quality > reliability > after‑sales support > software support
I’ve noticed that Sony’s 2M2 series TVs command a premium compared to Samsung or LG. For similar size TVs, brands like TCL, Samsung, and LG are often ₹13,000 cheaper.
Questions I’d love input on:
- Do Sony TVs justify the premium in this segment?
- What other brands would you consider (Hisense, TCL, etc.)?
- We already have a 24‑inch Sony LCD that’s been running flawlessly for 10+ years — so reliability is a big factor.
- If buying offline, what’s the typical negotiable margin from MRP?
- Would you prefer buying online or offline for a TV purchase?
Any real‑world experiences or recommendations would be super helpful!
