thanks for the feedback, what are the best prices people have been getting?

anyone?

Thanks for the reply, My previous thread was too basic. I have gone away and come back with some model numbers and wanted to get peoples thoughts on these, as it seems to be alot easier to get a response based on individual threads for different model numbers. More feedback on prices and which screen to go for would be great.

In Melbourne unfortunately, but thanks for the offer. What are peoples thoughts and best prices on these so far? Cheers

I have a mate who is looking at getting a new TV with a price limit at $1500 There are 2 Samsungs he is looking at: the 40" 5 Series B530 and B550 from Samsung What is the 40V5500 like compared to these, and what is the best prices people have been getting on these? JB Hifi have it listed at: $1891 Post your thoughts. Cheers.

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on these 2 50" Plasmas? I have a mate who is after a new TV, his price limit max's out at $1500 We are tossing up a 40" LCD or these 50" Plasma's JB Hifi prices: Samsung B450: $1796 Panasonic X10A: $1998 What are peoples thoughts on these 2 screens? and what are the best prices people have been getting on these? He will be using this to play XBOX 360, Movies, and watch Sport. Is Screen Burn In still a big issue with video games on plasmas? Cheers Paul

I have a mate who is looking at getting a new TV, his limit is about $1500 Im just studying up for him which models to aim to get. I was wanting peoples opinions and best prices: JB Hifi have: B530 for $1696 B550 for $1897 He will be using the TV to play XBOX 360, Watch Movies and Watch Sport. From what I can see on the Samsung website the differences between them is very minimal: B530 = 5ms B550 = 4ms B550 has a USB Connection B550 has a Heaphone, Composite connection B530 = 2 HDMI Inputs B550 = 3 HDMI Inputs Is there a difference in the panels they both use? or are they much the same? Also what are peoples thoughts on these and what are the best prices people have been getting? Cheers.

Is there still issues with Plasma TV's and playing video games? Like refresh rates or burn in? or is that all a thing of the past?

would there be any Panasonic's that are also available? If there is some promotion running with Samsung or Panasonic then that might sway him too.

around about 2 - 3 meters? When it comes to Video Games, are plasmas still to be avoided when it comes to playing them?

Hello, I have not been to this forum in a long while. I have a mate who is looking at getting a new TV, but his budget is $1500. He loves his video games (XBOX 360) He loves his sports (Basketball, footy, soccer, anything haha) He was wanting a TV around the 40" Mark Looking around JB Hifi, the TV's that were around that price were: Sony V Series Samsung 5 Series HiSense (not sure on the model number, but it had 100Hz) Im not too up to date with the new range of TV's, I was here when the Samsung M81 was the 'thing' to have haha. anyways can someone please provide some feedback.

How long does Priority Shipping normally take with DVD Pacific? I ordered the Matrix Ultimate Boxset on Bluray and it was shipping on Monday the 13th of October. Been just over a week....

CD Wow! http://www.cdwow.com.au/bluray/PreReleases have Walle listed for a Bluray release on the 24th of November for Region B. Is CD Wow a reliable company?

I think the 100Hz thing is more suited to CRT Screens and Plasmas. with LCD, you do notice there is a difference, but imo it makes everything look artifical, fake, too smooth. Its hard to describe. But I dont like it. I have heard samsung make very good LCD TV's. I see no reason why these will be any different. Although the thing which lets samsung down from what I have heard is the software running on their TV's is sometimes glitchy and people need to get techs out to get software updates to fix some minor issues. Sony you do pay abit more for the brand name... but the Free PS3 is well worth the extra you pay imo.

I picked myself up a 32" V4000 today. Just plugged it in and had to head off to uni. Be great if we could share some settings for this TV. It was so bloody hard to come by! Harvey Norman had none in Melbourne and the eastern suburbs. JB HiFi at ALOT of places had sold out, Knox City had the last one left, so thats where I got it. Sony Central had heaps! but they were not willing to match or better the $1799 price that Harvey Norman had advitised. Josh at JB HiFi in knox bettered Harvey Normans prices, he was really informative and very polite, if any one is headed to JB at Knox in Vic, go see him.

wow, $1750 for the 40" is cheaper then what Harvey Norman are selling the 32"V for! Do you have a recept?

t fountas I also sent you a PM Mate, please get back to me. Cheers. Paul.

I just called around: JBHIFI Chadstone and Knox City (in Melbourne) and Harvey Norman Chadstone, Nunawadding and Knox City (in Melbourne) and they all said they are getting stock next week of the 32" V4000.

Just calling around today, JbHifi @ Knox and Chadstone are not getting stock until Next week. Harvey Norman Chadstone, Knox and Nunawadding said they are getting stock next week too. So might have to wait, Heres hoping 35,000 PS3's arnt sold in a week lol.

ouch I didnt know stock was going to be an issue. My old man really wants to get it, and the bonus PS3 offer is making it the best offer going around at the moment. I live in Melbourne, so I will post back with some pricing after I call around today.

I am looking at getting a decent 32 - 40" LCD for my place. I Already have a 46" Samsung LCD for the main entertainment room, so Im not looking at getting anything bigger then a 40". I have seen sony with the PS3 advitisment with the 32V4000, what is the best prices people have been getting with this model? I have Harvey Normans latest Catalog which has $1799 listed as their RRP, which doesnt seem bad at all, but obviously some haggeling can reduce this! So what price should I aim for? Cheers. Paul.

bump. How can no one have an idea?

I just thought I would bump this topic back with pics of what I was experiencing: The green/red tint is only clear with certain grey/skin tones or reflections (like off peoples hair or stainless steel) its the most noticeable with the PS3 over HDMI (due to running at 1080p). It does happen to Free to air TV and the 360, but it isnt as obvious, but it is still viable depending on those certain colours that need to be reproduced. The problem is basically when the TV needs to product those certain tones, it pumps out too much green and red. It is the most noticeable in Dynamic mode. I can put the TV into Movie mode, and reduce this effect somewhat, but it is still quite clearly visible. I have even read up on what settings people recommend this TV to run at, and it is reduced, but still somewhat visable. I have sent the TV off to samsung to get fixed, what do you guys think the problem is? They came around and did a firmware update, which did nothing They then came around the week after with a new board, which did nothing Then they came around the week after to take it away and get looked at properly. http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14032008014uy2.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14032008015wp3.jpg http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1...8018copykf6.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14...8019copywq0.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14...8020copydq2.jpg http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14032008022zp7.jpg to try and rule things out I did: I tryed my mates PS3 to see if it was a PS3 fault, but the same problem persisted, even with his PS3. Then thinking it was a HDMI issue, I tried his HDMI cables, and the problem persisted. I had my PS3 running into my Onkyo SR605 then into my TV, so I removed the cable from the receiver and did a direct plug in, from PS3 to TV. and the problem persisted. What do you guys think it is?
