Cal-Syd Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hi Everyone, I'm new here, and new to the world of plasma tv. I bought a JVC PD-Z42DV4 for $3600 last week, a saving of $1900 I feel like a got an excellent deal on a great tv, from what I have been able to read this panel was good value at the original price. Was just wondering if it really is as good a deal as I think? And was also wondering what other excellent deals people out there have found?

BlueBoy Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Great idea having a thread devoted only to the latest Plasma prices. Here's a couple: Teac 106cm Plasma PLMSDM1060 - $2,999 at David Jones (hinted he would give up to 10% off, so gettable for ~$2,700) JVC 106cm Plasma GM-V42SJ - $2,998 at Dick Smith http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/G4246 (or go to www.dse.com.au and search for G4246 if link doesn't work for you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ferni Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 The JVC from DSE website doesn't look like it comes with a stand or wall mounts, did you get a stand or wall mounts with your JVC cal-syd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal-Syd Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 The JVC from DSE website doesn't look like it comes with a stand or wall mounts, did you get a stand or wall mounts with your JVC cal-syd? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeh it came with a stand which is normal I think - the sales guy didnt say he had thrown it in for free or anything. The JVC I got also comes with a built in tuner and speakers. heres a link to it... JVC the stand in the pic is what it comes with, the screen is very stable and the stand isn't obtrusive to me. When I was looking the only thing that put me off this panel was the silver part below the screen where the speakers / tuner and more inputs is... but now its home and not next to the other panels it looks good.

BlueBoy Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I saw the LG 106cm SD panel in JB last weekend, on special for $2998. I kinda half-saw an ad from Megamart on TV last night also that suggested they were selling the same LG for $2,999, i think the offer ends today or this weekend? The LG is too big for my entertainment unit, I need something that measures less than 1,100w x 750h (inc stand). The LG has fixed side speakers, so is too wide at 1,230 odd. I have my own home entertainment audio setup, so don't need the speakers. It seems most 106cm panels are roughly 1040 x 660 (no stand), so should be ok. Just waiting for the next "mega special" on anything but the LG and Teac, then i'll jump in. Probably the Samsung i think, or maybe even the HD optima i've mentioned in other forums, if it's any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1503559697 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 The JVC has inbuilt speakers but underneat the panel.I know you dont need the speakers but this will obviously make the width significantly narrower.Actually i just measure my JVC for an approx width of 1 metre and 4 cm's.

Guest dvb_3015 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Got the LG 42" RT-42PX11 at Hi-Fi Supermarket in Maribyrnong last weekend for $2,900 with free delivery and the LG MP3 player by redemption. Good Guys wanted $2,945 for the display model off the floor plus delivery but included a 5 year warranty. Happy with the picture now after a week fiddling with the controls.

BlueBoy Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I finally jumped into the Plasma market on the weekend....spotted on the Dick Smith website that they'd dropped the Samsung SD 42" model (PS42D4SXB or PS42D4SKX depending on where you look) to a mere $2,998, including a Samsung SD set top box and side speakers. I even got them them to include a 5 year warranty in that price (offered me another $150 off with just the factory 1 year warranty). Now that's a deal. Looks great in my living room too....

technocat Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Someone has to say it, sorry guys but you are buying end of the line technology, thats why prices are tumbling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunce Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Someone has to say it, sorry guys but you are buying end of the line technology, thats why prices are tumbling <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ..which 6+ months ago were considered top line technology. So what? They still do the same as they did 6 months ago. Some people simply don't need all the bells and whistles that are offered today. If you *have* to have the latest technology then all the best to you. If thats what you need to think to warrant your purchase or to enable you to sleep best at night then great. But please don't insinuate that those posting in this thread don't realise that they aren't buying the latest releases - its the exact reason most of them *are* posting in this thread!
