LCD Flat Panel TV - Tyagi 1080p HD Televisions

Cheap LCD TV Buying

Remember that when purchasing an LCD TV, including full 1080p high definition TVs, picture quality is paramount. Another important thing to remember is just because a TV uses a brand name display panel, does NOT ensure it will have a high quality picture or enjoy good reliability. There are quite honestly only a couple of panel manufacturers in the whole world - so even the cheapest TV you buy from a bargain basement shop will use a brand name panel. The other electronics used in the TV are, however, another thing.

What to do?
The rule of thumb is to compare TVs before purchase - in person. That means visiting a larger store, like Bing Lee, The Good Guys, Dick Smith, Harvey Norman, etc etc. A picture may look awesome to you when simply viewing one TV, or even on a website, but trust me - when you start to compare TVs in person you will start to discern notable differences. Unfortunately, shops don't always adjust their TVs correctly either,  so contrast and brightness may vary.

If you can, check out the new Samsung, LG and Sony LED TVs. The picture quality is amazing - even compared to the best full 1080p standard type LCD televisions. But of course, being reasonably new to the market, you will pay a premium. The rule of thumb is spend as much as you can afford now - because in 12 months (or less), something better will be here.

Finally, ALWAYS ask "what is your best price?" - even though flat panel TVs walk out the doors these days, stores will still compete on prices - even if a price is advertised as being on special. Rule of thumb: always offer a minimum of 10% off the ticketed price; on a $4000 television, that saving represents a new Blu-Ray DVD player :-)

Update 11.11.2010: Time moves quickly in TV technology. I'm not  a big fan of Plasma television technology, but I recently bought one. Check out my review of the Samsung PS58C7000. If you are looking for smooth 3D and a beautiful high defintion picture quality, it's certainly worth a look.

Update 08.04.2010: Don't be in too much of a rush to run out and buy a new TV right now. Once the new 3D TV's start being sold, prices will drop even further for quality sets like the fabulous Samsung LED range. To read more about 3D televisions and what they mean to you, please check out our 3D Television article, and to see a demo of an Aussie show broadcast in 3D, please see our 3D TV show article (note: you will need a pair of 3D glasses - the old cyan/magenta ones).

Tyagi Televisions

Tyagi is one of the new breed of LCD televisions being directly imported into Australia from places like China to compete with big, known brands such as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and LG.

The company's mission statement is quite simply to:

Bring to the Australian market a range of products that reflect big brand values and longevity, but at an affordable price

Sunil Tyagi has himself had a hand in the design and specifications of all his televisions. But TVs are just the start - Sunil has plans for more electronic goods to be available for sale in the near future.

If you want to get down to the nitty gritty and compare the specifications, Tyagi televisions certainly stack up on paper - and appear to be the cheapest HD LCD TVs in the current market.

All the televisions use quality LG panels, with tried and tested internal electronics supplied by companies such as Samsung. As a result, all the 40" (106cm) and up models offer DVI and HDMI compatibility, with FULL 1080p high definition at 1920 x 1080 screen resolution.

Sunil Tyagi and his Tyagi branded televisions were featured on A Current Affair in February, 2009. The tech expert interviewed was able to detect very little difference when comparing a brand name TV to the Tyagi model - except when it came to the price - the Tyagi was almost $5000 less expensive than the brand name television! To see the full story and video, please visit the ACA website.

Warranty

To back up their claim of longevity, Tyagi provide customers with a full 12 month on-site warranty - not to mention the 7 day, money back guarantee which is very important when buying a television sight unseen. Any service calls can be made using a 1-800 toll free number, and don't worry if you're not in Sydney - their service people come to you, nation-wide. For a little extra (from just $49.95), you can arrange for an extended warranty of up to five years, and the warranty itself is transferable. The additional warranty cost depends on the size of the television.

A note on warranties: Don't forget the advertised warranty is merely the manufacturer or retail warranty. The statutory warranty on a television should cover you for at least two years. In other words, if you spend $1500 on a TV, one would quite rightly expect it to run trouble free for at least a couple of years. But please check with your local office of Fair Trading to confirm.
