markb1503559499 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 while the 50" PZ can be had for $2998 all shown here in the forum That is an amazing price. I only started looking about 4 weeks ago and back then that would have been a good price for a 50" PX! (which is only 1368 x 768). The Panasonics have dropped heaps recently, I would think the other brands will have join the xmas party too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzStick Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 At the moment I don't think the Panasonic panels can be beaten for value!Haggling will get you the 42" 7a for $1499 while the 50" PZ can be had for $2998 all shown here in the forum...amazing prices! From where exactly can you bargain the 42PX7A down under $1500??? That's a fair margin less than I could have gotten it in bulk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fast700c for the receipt, it really helped with negotiating the deal. Which Myer did you get your deal from? I used fast700c's receipt as well but could not go near it. Best they could do was $3359 with an extra 1 year warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markus T Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Which Myer did you get your deal from? I used fast700c's receipt as well but could not go near it. Best they could do was $3359 with an extra 1 year warranty. Got mine from Chatswood, NSW. I had to keep pushing to get the price down, they offered me $3100 with the standard 2 year warranty. The salesguy then spoke to the manager who agreed to the $3035 price. Salesguy said he wouldn't be surprised if the manager wouldn't be around in a couple of weeks time as they really are not supposed to sell at anywhere near that price!

Yeah, got offerred $3100 with the standard warranty as well and wouldn't budge, even when I said I was gonna buy a 42" pana as well. Said I was willing to pay $5100 cash for both the Sammy and 42PX70A, but unfortunately no deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fawltyrat1 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 bay the bludgers double group buy and all ???Can you clarify ? It should have read pay double. there is a group buy on for the pioneers in case you havent heard http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtop...5906&st=100 prices are still much cheaper than you see here but they were negotiated a month ago as as far as im concerned they should have dropped another 20% just like the opposition did.

fawltyrat1 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Perhaps someone should organise another GB for the Pioneers... Yes in both..we need a 3rd group buy for the Pios and am also interested in the Panny if its the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpeant Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yes in both..we need a 3rd group buy for the Pios and am also interested in the Panny if its the right price. Pioneers have much better PQ than the Panasonics, but you are paying a massive premium for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmaxwell1503559518 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Pioneers have much better PQ than the Panasonics, but you are paying a massive premium for them. I have seen both panels and I cannot justify an extra $4-5k for the Pioneer. In a very short time all these displays will be dirt cheap...sorry to the people paying $8k for the Pio but the depreciation on a $8k display is going to be ugly.

sottovoce Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I would like to thank everyone in this forum for providing me with the research information for the past year. I have finally made the decision and bought the Panasonic TH-42PX7A yesterday. Below are some information I would like to share and contribute back to this forum. Store : JB-HiFi Chadstone Shopping Centre, VIC Price : $1550 2 year extended warranty (taking it to 3 years) : $229 4 year extended warranty (taking it to 5 years) : $339 (I chose this option) [shipping & Box Size] For those who are planning to bring it back themselves, the box dimensions are Length : 115 cm Depth : 40.5 cm Height : 81.5 cm Note that it has to be shipped standing upright & the entire box managed to fit nicely at the back of my 2005 Camry sedan. [installation] Assemble the stand first and then place the panel over the stand before securing it with the screews provided. I had help lifting the panel up and placing it over the stand. From upgrading from a 34" Panasonic CRT to this, I must say I am very happy with the purchase. I had initially wanted to buy the TH-42PZ700U but realised I didn't require the additional features. I hope this information helps anyone and good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandazilla Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 That could well be the cost. Not as much profit in some of these TVs as what a lot of people think. I would believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzler Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 May not be of interest for most, but today just purchased LG 26lc7d for $900. Bought with an LG fridge, which was already on special and they couldn't do any better on the fridge, so $900 achievable solo. Not bad for spare room TV. Also considered an offer on 32lc7d for $1200. Great little set for the bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
