aequitas Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 where have all the budget big screens gone. REALLY want a 50" but dont want to spend more that $1500 on a tv, as its seems to me that more than that is just well... lets leave it there. why is the X series 50" pana still so high in price, seems it should have come down, even with the GFC.

Daveee Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The room cant be much bigger then a toilet. It's a pretty big room, but my current 42" just takes away from everything else about the room. It's as if the only thing you would go in there for is to watch TV. A 37" might be okay, but slightly out of the price range I would think.

ozynigma Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Guys, I am going to go and buy a new 32" LCD tomorrow, looking to spend $1000~. Would prefer 1080P, but it isn't essential. Not looking to go any bigger due to the size of the room (have a 42" at the moment which is going into storage as it would take too much away from the room as it is). Have been looking at Samsungs but no idea of how much each model number can be had for (seems the wiki hasn't been updated in a while?). Any recommendations and price points I should be aiming for? I am probably about to do the same thing for an upstairs game room for the kids. I found webprice.com.au had full specs and pricing on the full range of Samsungs, Sony's, Panasonics. You will probably pay a bit more in the shops. In my personal opinion I wouldn't spend the extra for 1080p on a 32" screen unless you are intending to sit really close to it. Dick Smith has a special on that finishes today, a Sanyo 32" for $699. Otherwise you should be able to get the entry level Samsung or Panasonic models for about $1,000. Those are the Panasonic TX32LX10A or the Samsung LA32B450. I am currently tossing up between those three options and any advice in the next hour or two before I go out and buy would be appreciated.

Daveee Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Ended up getting an LA37B530. $1450. $100 more than online stores but got it interest free. Slightly more than I wanted to pay but I'll get over it. Just waiting for my old man to come over and help move the old one so I can set it up Edited July 19, 2009 by daveee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcduck Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 was at mt gravatt today rt edwards had a 42 inch sharp full hd for $1999 and a panasonic 42 inch full hd for $1790 both said save 20% worth a bit of negotiating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper3742 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi All It seems that Webprice.com.au http://www.webprice.com.au/page/shop/flypage/product_id/1043 Currently have the Panasonic TH-P50S10A VIERA 50inch on sale for $2295 with the bonus Wii. I would be skeptical about the bonus Wii considering the wording of the pansonic T&Cs about online stores etc, but you never know it could be right. Either way an incredible price i believe even when adding freight charges. Happy hunting folks Regards grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamthecoolest Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) well guys, bit the bullet today and got ourselves a TV ended up with the following: Sony Bravia 46" Z5500 (KDL46Z5500), from JB HiFi @ Loganholme for $3100** **no extd wty, no other extras, 12mnths interest free/def payments, no deposit. finance through HSBC. We ended up gettin a bunch of other stuff incl the wty, but the the above price/conditions are what we got them down too to make the deal initially. Researched online for about 3 weeks, got plenty of 'internet info' and went out today to buy. It took all day, 5 dif stores and PLENTY of diplomatic bartering also FYI, Clive Peters Loganholme would do it same term&conditions as above, but for $3800 w/ bonus PS3 Good Guys Loganholme same T&C - $3550 w/ bonus $385 gift voucher Myer Loganholme same T&C - $3600 w/ $350 gift voucher + triple MyerOne points (approx $100 gift Card) With the exception of Clive Peters who don't stock Samsung, All of the above would do: Samsung 46" Crystal LED (UA46B8000) for $4500 w/bonus 22" LCD I'm sure cash would get you a better deal with any of the quoted prices. In the end JB didn't play games and gave us great prices straight off the bat, and so far their service has been great also so thanks to the team at JB Loganholme Happy Shopping.

bigjab Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi all Been a lurker here for sometime now and appreciate the vast info and thought I better contribute. Have been thinking about a TH-P42G10A Panasonic 42" G10 series for a month or so. Wii promo is a bonus (have wanted one for a while) and the above price of $1955 sounded pretty good to me. Bit the bullet yesterday at Myer Belconnen and couldn't believe it - $1800 plus $75 delivery. Giddy up! CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dindsy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have got the P50G10A and the final receipts show my price breakdown as50G10A TV – $2356 4 yr Ext warranty – 399 Delivery – $45 Total – $2800 my initial receipt showed the TV price as $2556... In actuality I reckon the best price for this TV is currently between the 2.5 & 2.6k mark... that is if you buy the warranty too.. plus I paid by credit card in full... Hi there, I am just about to buy my first large screen TV. I've been leaning towards the Panasonic TH-P50S10A. I've been given a price of $2500 from JB-HiFi but looking at this thread is making me re-think. Should i be trying to get the "G" series for this price? Is the G a lot better than what i am looking at. I don't really understand all the intricaies of the different models. cheers for any adivce.

I was offered the 50G10 for $2500 from Myer Brisbane the other day, so paying that for the 50S10 doesnt sound all that worthwhile, they should be able to do the 50S10 for $300 less.

There appears to be significant discrepancies in Myer prices from state to state. $2500 for the 50G10a is far below Melbourne Myer prices. How odd that they can fluctuate this much. Best price on a 50 G10a in Melbourne to my knowledge is $2700 + extra warranty and Wii promotion applies. $2400 doesn't exist unless recipts can be shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's from my inside info Yep, I agree, the $2500 price I got was after a long and difficult haggling excercise - but their warranty blew the deal at $400 extra otherwise I would have a 50G10 right now.

Saw them side-by-side. * Samsung PS42B450 $1418 at BIG W- sticker price (found by accident). Competitive with internet buying if delivery is about $50.

kulfi Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Samsung PS42B430 Ticketed at $1299 in Bing Lee Haymarket, Sydney, with a free surge board thrown in. Binga is negotiable so a final price under $1100 is very much on the cards. Note : This is not the B450 and I confirmed that on the back of the TV. Don't know why Samsung hasn't listed this model on its site yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can I ask a question? How come the bulk of Tv purchases are Pana and Sammy? Not many takers for the Sony. Is there are reason? Assuming someone is after an LCD that is. Many thanks, Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
