googlevich Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 JB advised retail for the new 46inch 1080p LCD is $4799 with HD tuner inbuilt. Its in there system as of today.I have a faulty 50inch samsung plasma and they cant replace it. so they gave me options and told me I can pay the difference and get the 46inch LCD. This sounds pretty good. Do you by chance have a price for the 40'? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidesh0w Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Id love to know the 40" price also... Held of the current model to get this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiser202 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I forgot to ask them again. I had to call them to sort out my 50inch plasma. Basically, I get to keep my current 50inch plasma as its slightly faulty and they have no others to replace it with. So i get the newest model PS50Q9HD for the same price as i paid for the Q7HDX model. If the 1080p lcd's are cheaper as I have been told they will from Samsung, I can pay the difference and swap for the 46inch LCD. From speaking with the sales guys, they dont really tell you the price. when I asked them if they are going to be cheaper they just said, cant say but they possibly will be.

jon_k86 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I was just wondering would you be able to tell the difference in picture quality from a 37" to 40" 1080p lcd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWolve Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This version will have a 15,000 contrast ratio. They next version is 50,000 or 100,000? Any idea how many months later this will be out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats the new LED Backlight screens... and they wont come cheap, being the latest and greatest when they finally arrive, I would expect a RRP of 5K+ for a 40"... hardly think its worth it, im very very impressed with the new 1080P screens out at the moment. However to be fair. the new LED Backlight screens are not out yet to compare, from all accounts there is a definite improvement... but not worth the premium you have to pay for it to begin with. EDIT: Anyways back to the topic... if the 40" RRP is going to be 4K, should easily get it down to $3200 - $3300 (going off people being able to get the 40" X series for $3999 with a RRP of $4599) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majormick Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've been reading up a lot on these new LCDs overseas and there is a LOT of interest in the UK and US. I find it curious that people on this forum appear to be fairly nonchalant... is it because no-one knows much about them? Surely these will be the best value 1080p sets in OZ within 2 weeks?

I have been watching them - though cautious given we dont always end up with what overseas gets - and lack of specs from samsung Aus - I guess with the launch on the weekend we will find out...and assume they will be arriving next week...? I am also concerned about the excessive glare...and how the glare compares to current models.... Any views? Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonky* Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Different Harvey Norman confirmed $3999 on the computer. Coming out "any time soon". He couldn't give a model number but said it was the M series so based off the UK review I would guess LA40M86BD and LA46M86BD Sounds like it could be a good one. He offered the Sony KDL40X2000 at $3980 including 5 year warranty which isn't bad but I'm going to wait for the Samsung I think since it could be better for the same money with 3 year warranty (+1 year for my credit card) i.e. basically the same. Some UK links: http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/televis...32m86bdxxeu.asp http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/televis...40m86bdxxeu.asp http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/televis...37m87bdxxeu.asp A 37" would certainly interest me. Save a few $$ and about the right size for my living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geforce Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I stopped into a HN store yesterday and a guy there checked his pc and said the LA46M81BDX and LA52M81BDX are due in 3 to 4 weeks and that the 52" model (LA52M81BDX) has a rrp of $7995. He didn't say anything else like, "There should be quite a bit of movement on that price." I almost said to him, "I'll be a cash buyer and i don't intend to pay anywhere near that much for a Samsung." He was also trying to tell me that the current Samsung F71 series kicks the Sony Bravia X's ass. That's contrary to all the reviews i've read on the net.

I was looking for the discontinued F71 and was comparing it to the Bravia X (an extra $1k though - $3k vs $4k). From what I saw of crappy HD TV etc and the SWAT blue ray disc everyone's playing, the Bravia X was definitely a better TV. I'm waiting for the M series Samsung to come out and then I'll decide between it or the Bravia X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharka Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Went into JB at Knox City (Melbourne) today. I am looking at getting the 40" and I was told the RRP is $3979. He said that when its avalable (in about 2 - 3 weeks), to come in and he can do some sort of 'special deal'. I just said off the top of ya head, whats the best you can do? he said when you come in, lets try and aim for $3200 - $3500 with a Free HDMI Cable... Sounds Tempting enough.... Whats the warrenty with Samsung? 3 Years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharka Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 is it worth spending the extra and getting extended warrenty? or save the $$$ and put it towards a decent HDMI cable(s)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeu Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 is it worth spending the extra and getting extended warrenty? or save the $$$ and put it towards a decent HDMI cable(s)??

krilla Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) I will be going to JB hopefully tomorrow to get some information on these new Samsung's, does anyone else have any other useful information from the launch? Is the general consensus from retailers that these units will be available in 2-3 weeks? Edited April 15, 2007 by krilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonky* Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Found this (not much in it of course...): http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/televis..._Samsung_v2.pdf linked from: http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/televis...40m86bdxxeu.asp I'm off to China on Tuesday so hopefully they'll be all out and available by the time I get back (2 weeks).
