helenthean Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Today, I happened to be at Gain City, Marina Square. Hitachi has launched 2 new models, both made in Japan. 9500 - 1024 by 1080i ALIS panels costing $3399 c/w $200 voucher, 3 year warranty and 1 HT system. I was so tempted but I check myself. Better check with you guys first. 9800 - 1024 by 1080i ALIS panels costing $4499 c/w $? vouchers and the rest as above. Plus motorised TV holder. C/w Memory card slots, etc. Technical specs are definitely better than 8500 and 8900. Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the 9800 for $3999 with a free Hitachi HT system from Mega Discount Store. 3years agent warranty as well. If you want the tech specs, PM me. I just got it from Hitachi Singapore.

petetherock Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Good stufff rage Keep us informed of your new purchase I was looking at the 8XXX series, but your news is good! How much was the 9500? I don't need the fancy frills but the 9500 looks fine and I can do without the HT system. BTW something I found on LCD vs plasma from Hitachi: http://aus.hitachi.com.au/hitachi/content/assets/2005-12%20Plasma%20vs%20LCD%20White%20Paper%20FINAL.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of buying before GST goes up - anyone knows when that is going to hapen? Sorry Pete, I will only be able to provide a review I have completed my renovation probably end Dec. If the government announce the details during the budget talk in Feb 2007, then most probably the increase might take effect on June 2007. I was at Mega last week, salesman quoted S$2700 cash for the 9500!! ;D What the Hell! :o I bought my set for $3100+. >:( $2700 is a real good price.

Garydrums Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 The other difference between the 9500 and the 9800 is that the latter have better built in sound system.

petetherock Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 An MO is nice, but we should specify which model E.g. I want the 9500 for delivery in Jan '07 And yes please reviews and places to buy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at BD yesterday, offer price is $2999 for 9500, 3 years warranty, no gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
