It depends on the number of days you stay abroad.

Less than 90 days - 125 USD worth goods can be brought duty free
90 - 365 days - 500 USD worth goods can be brought duty free
More than 365 days - 1000 USD worth goods can be brought duty free

Earlier there was a restriction for the size of the TV and it was 42". Now that it has been increased up to 55".

If you have adequate duty free allowance, then you can bring a TV up to 55" size without paying any tax.

If the TV is valued for Rs. 100,000/- then the tax would be around 45,000/-

Which includes 15% Customs Duty, 15% VAT, 7.5% PAL and 2% NBT.
Just to get an idea.

Allowed for personal use only....

Should be declared to the Customs on departure from Sri Lanka and on arrival. Non declaration is a punishable offence including forfeiture.
