Did i waste money buying a 32 inch full HD LED TV?

Q.


Answer
it depends on what you was looking for in a tv when you bought it. your tv is full HD, the only way to watch HD in all its glory. 32" screen size, is that large enough for you? seems 40" appears to be the norm size nowadays. i have a 32" full HD and it suits my every need.

Is this LED HD 3D TV a good buy? or should I pass?

It's a generic brand (though they claim to use LG panels), and the specs I compared to lots of other top brands and they are pretty much the same, here's a small sample, more details in the link above:

TFT LCD SCREEN FEATURES:
1. 47 inch
2. 1920*1080
3. Panel A Grade LG 3D LED Panel
4. Aspect Ratio 4:3, 16:9
5. Brightness 450 cd/m2
6. Dynamic Contrast ratio 3000000:1
7. Response time 5 ms
8 .Display colors 1.06 Billion
9 .Viewing angle L/R/U/D 89/89/89/89 (178V, 178H)
10 .Refresh Rate 120Hz
Power Consumption < 170W (less than 1W on standby)

Plus it comes with 4 free 3D glasses :P not that I would really use that but I like to have the option anyway.

I was originally looking at a sony bravia, but it only had a 50/60hz refresh rate and wasnt getting great reviews, and was around the same price/size...


Thoughts?
And please provide details on why you think it is a good or bad buy if you do answer... I'd like to know why.



Answer
The specs themselves are good. The quality of a LG panel is good (although sony or samsung has a better 2D picture quality). The main advantage of a LG panel over Sony or Samsung is its passive 3D technology, which can be use with cheaper and more comfortable glasses (but at the cost of reducing by half the resolution).

However, the problems comes from being a generic brand. While the picture quality will be identical to the panel manufacturers, the rest of the components are generally of a lower quality. This means that the average lifetime of the TV is lower than main brands. Also (if you care about that), you don't get any Smart TV features (like youtube apps).

My advice would be to pay a little extra to get the real brand, it will be worth it in the long term, unless you like to change your TV every 3 years to always be up to date.
