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!

MI Airpump Repair Battery Replacements

Hey everyone,

My Xiaomi Mi Portable Air Pump has been acting up lately — the battery barely holds a charge now and dies almost immediately after unplugging. Pretty sure it just needs a battery replacement.

Has anyone gotten this done locally? Looking for options in or around Thrissur. I'm open to:

Authorised Xiaomi service centres

General mobile/electronics repair shops that handle Li-ion battery swaps

Any reliable place that won't butcher the device trying to open it up

Not sure if Xiaomi service centres even handle this accessory or if it's better to just go to a third-party repair shop. Would love to hear from anyone who's dealt with this before.

Also, rough idea of the cost involved would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Looking for a free camera app that stamps GPS location on photos — any recommendations?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a free camera app (Android) that automatically displays or stamps the GPS coordinates / location name directly on the photo when you take it — not just in the metadata, but visible on the image itself.

Have tried a few but either they're paid, have too many ads, or the location text looks terrible.

Would love to hear what you're using. Thanks!

Just got back from two separate trips where I had to leave my car behind. CIAL at ₹350/day stings, but I get it — it's an international airport with decent facilities.

But Thrissur Railway Station charging ₹500/day and calling it "premium" is hard to justify. The infrastructure doesn't really match the pricing. Basic security, and the usual wear and tear you'd expect from a busy station lot.

For occasional travellers, these costs add up fast and there's really no alternative if you need to leave your vehicle.

Are other stations and airports in Kerala this expensive? And does anyone know of better parking options near these spots?
