I recently bought a Sony 3D LED(40 HX 800). It comes with an amazing offer - the following products are free with the TV:
3D Blu Ray Player worth Rs 19, 900/-
Pair of 3D glasses worth Rs 13, 000/-
400 watts RMS 3D virtual surround sound speaker with sub-woofer worth Rs 19, 900/-
Nine 3D blu ray discs worth Rs 9, 000/-
Here's the inside scoop - I initially bought a normal LED TV(40 EX 710), and just a day after I bought it, Sony announced an offer on their 3D LED range. I called Sony and told them I wanted to upgrade since I had not even opened the LED TV I had bought - it was in its original packing, un-opened.(Didn't get the time to open the box and install the TV). They immediately told me that I can upgrade. Rushed to Sony, paid the difference and here I am- my living room is a mini-I-max 3D theater.
What a TV! What an experience! Simply mind-blowing. What makes it even more mind-blowing is that I had a DVD home theater system - the additional 3D virtual surround Home Theater system connects with this DVD Home Theater system, my Blu-Ray player, and my Tata Sky HD. So its like 2 home theater systems(with 2 powerful sub-woofers) working at the same time to blow you head over heels.
Here are the best features:
200 Hz pro Motion Flow for extra clear fast moving images.(Try reading text on the screen of a TV without MotionFlow and you'll know the difference)
Bravia Sync - one remote does it all.(I have 5 remotes - one each for LED TV, DVD Home theater system, Blu-Ray, 3D Home theater system, and Tata Sky HD). With Bravia Sync its just one remote - ANY one of the 4 from Sony.
Image clarity is superb, 3D quality is just like you'll see in a 3D theatre(by paying Rs 350 or more)
3D glasses are electronic, not like the ones you get at I-Max. And they switch off automatically if unused for a certain period of time. The best part is - these glasses are very comfortable, doesn't strain the eye, doesn't cause headaches. And they are cuter and smaller than the ones you get at I-Max.
TV connects to the internet directly(haven't used this feature though) but will configure it soon.
3D Home theater sub-woofer packs a mighty punch
Imagine paying 1.19 lacs and getting free stuff worth over 40, 000/-.
Finally, Sony's quality is just too reliable. My mom has a Sony TV - its over 12 years old. She also has a TV from LG - about 10 years old. I had a Samsung, its about 3 years old. In 12 years Sony TV hasn't demanded any service - everything just works. As for the LG, remote replaced 3 times, 4th replacement due. Samsung already shows dark spots on the screen.
My recommendation - if you want an ultimate 3D experience, go for Sony. It will be well worth every rupee you spend.
