Goodbye Holland, Welcome Japan!

It was 9 Years back, in April 1998, that we decided to go for a brand new television, after a gap of nearly 10 years!! Suiting our budget came a Philips 21" Color Television that had some super features (at that time, it was super - like Child lock, 70 channels, multiple sound modes, multiple picture modes,etc..!!!) and we all were very exited about this new 'gizmo' in our home! :-)

Now, after good old 9 years and after touring Mandya, Mysore and back to Bengalooru, on Friday, our TV itself called it enough before we ourselves could do so, though we had no intention now! :-(

We called an engineer who came and opened the heart of it for the very first time and after around 30minutes of testing and analysis, he said its not a minor problem and it will take some days to get to know whatz the problem and then solve it! So, me and my mom decided give it some rest (after 9 years of excellent experience) and then started to look out for a new TV.

We were pretty tempted to go for another Philips but some dealers had mixed opinion about this and we then thought to switch our loyalty to LG. For 29" television, LG is offering its medium model at around INR 15000/- (World cup cricket dude and LG is main sponsorer!!) and we found this as a very good buy, until a last minute decision made us to switch from Korea to Japan!! ;-))

Yeah, We decided that we will go for Sony this time as nobody can beat the clarity and quality of their products! Remember Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubhishi...hmmm..super duper brands of the world - they reign the world!!

But these guys come with a premium and that is a bit bad part :-( For a 29" television, while we get other leading brands at around INR 15000/- ~ INR 18000/- range, Sony gives you at around INR 20000/- plus!! But if you look at long term, paying a bit extra for Quality and Maintainability is not a big deal! :)

So finally, we decided to go for a 25" Sony WEGA Trinitron Television (Model: KV-SZ25M80-50) that came to us at INR 17200/- Its a nice, decent television with 100 channels, super picture and sound clarity and many more features tatz super cool enough for home use.

Hope this new entry from Japan beats the record set by its counterpart from Holland! :-)

Good-bye Holland (Philips), Yokoso (Welcome) Japan-san!! :-))
