In terms of aesthetics and codecs, Samsung wins hands down. Ukipata nafasi, you can check some comparisons as well as calibrations on lcdtvbuyingguide.com

I would also vote for Samsung LED.
It needs not be smart but at least let it be Full HD.
If you are adventurous... try 3D.

Pay close attention to the refresh rate. The greater it is (above 120Hz), the better.

As far as smart TVs are concerned, Samsung recommends internet speeds of >10Mbps in order to enjoy that functionality.

I have also been thinking along the same line and I have done quite some comparisons in supermarkets. I would rate samsung and sony at par. Go for either 42/ 43 inch or bigger(40 inch is a bit small).

d'oh! d'oh! d'oh! Did you want to say 32''? I don't see much difference btw 40 and 42''.

Samsung comes out on top when it comes to Smart TVs. The UI is slick, the apps are there and the displays themselves look great.
Sony has gone for the simple approach, which some may like and their design definitely beats the competition.

@Jaggernaut ... There is plenty of HD content on DSTV. So don't feel your telly investment may be a waste

Settled for the 40 inch Samsung Smart LED at 74k. LINK.

The next size was the 46inch that was going for 109k, but i didn't want to spend anything more than 75k. Very impressed by the features/specifications.
