kalinga Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Went into HN Greensborough today and asked for their best price on the 46PZ800A. Spoke to Trevor and mentioned the forum and recent quotes of $2300....he went and saw his manager and came back with a best price of $2400 for the TV, $299 for 4 year extended warranty and $50 delivery...wouldn't budge down to $2300 and said that they had never sold (note....I say sold!!... not quoted!!) this Plasma for $2300....maybe I talked to them on a bad day...any one had any other experience and actually bought at this price?? With the extended warranty, does it mention that if they don't get a replacement part, etc. with some specified number of days then the TV will be replaced by a new one? last weekend checked out Bing lee and the extended warranty for 4 years was $399. Told the guy it was expensive, he mentioned that if they were unable to repair the TV in 55 days then would get a replacement TV. He said that most of these extended warranties don't have this clause. Personally feel it is good since after 3 years time current model will be discontinued and getting parts for it will be difficult. Don't want to keep on hanging on with a broken TV. Guys any comments on spending that $ 100 extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchech Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi RS2000.. First timer here. That's a great price. I've been looking at the exact same TV as you after a LOT of research. The best price I've managed so far is 2349 from JB. Could you also send me a copy of receipt. It's my member name at hot mail. Could you also share your thoughts about the TV and any callibration or adjustments you've made? Finally, did you get an extended warranty? price and how many years? Thanks mate, hotchech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalinga Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I just posted in another thread that I just paid $2600 for the 50" 800A and its getting delivered today. I purchased the TV from HN Greensborough Victoria, so I would suggest you purchase the TV from there unless you can get a better deal from another retailer.good luck Hi vxuereb, can you please send me your receipt for the 50" 800A to iriver.ipod at gmail.com?

portmagpies Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I did not get warranty on my Panasonic plasma 2 years ago either. So far so good. If i do have a problem I will let them know that under Statutory regulation I should still be able to have the problem fixed as the price paid for it was very expensive and should not break down after such a short time. This worked with a old CRT from Toshiba i had and after 7 years the colour started to go so I contacted the supplier and they said not much they can do about it as it only a 12 month warranty. I discussed with them about state statutory regulations and they transported from Adelaide to Melbourne by TNT and repaired it and sent it back again by TNT to my door step and did not charge me anything. Although under statutory regulations you can still be charged for either the labour or the part. It is up to both parties to come to agreement. The tv at the time cost $3000 and was a 80cm.

ekkieTHUMP Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 it's personal preference, i tend to think that the extended warranty are a money grab, but each to there own. I see it as a salespersons gravy train as well.If a high percentage of Panasonic's plasmas failed at 12 to 60 months wouldn't we hear more about it in the media or on sites like this?Pioneer seem confident there plasma will last 60 months.Not saying things don't fail,i claimed a new Benq lcd monitor and a Philips dvd player in the last few years but in both cases they failed in less than 3 months.If you pay thousands for a tv and get a lemon the company should stand behind there product and fix or replace it,thats why we have consumer protection laws.

Mike Rapp Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 has anybody been able to get a 42pz800a for $2000 or less? and do you think if i payed in cash i could get an extended warranty and the tv for no more than $2200 as that is my maximum price limit. i know on the electronic discounter website they have it for about $2189 with a 1 yr warranty so surely i could bargain good guys or Harvey norman down to around 2000? I got 42pz800a at GG Cranbourne for $2090 without a problem. Took no time at all. I took a current Clive Peeters catalogue which is listed at about 2150 atm. Got them to deliver, but had to buy the extra warranty. Should have pushed them but ahhh I got the TV I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flowerysky Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, I'm from China. As our company is about to supply DVB-T products, can anyone here help confirm 'your digital TV frequency in Australia?' Is it: 177.5MHZ-226.5MHZ under 7M and 474MHZ-858MHZ under 8M? Seems some of our customers in Australia can't get signal there... Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Lolon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12BHD Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi RS200, Unfortunately, I'm from NSW and would not be able to join your group buy. But would really appreciate if you could pm me a copy of you invoice so I could use it here in NSW. I am buying one tomorrow or Fri as long as I could get a similar quote.

I just did a comparison between the new 850 and the 800 i did not see a lot of difference, certainly not a $1000 worth. Sorry just read the other thread where this has been asked already.
