asho1503563358 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi (Yes I am a new registrant but I have been reading here for a long time trying to resolve my own dtv problems) If there is anyone in SA that receives one of the free TVs and is interested in selling please let me know. Thanks, Asho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorg1503559539 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 can anyone confirm that it has a inbuilt tuner - dealbreaker for me where we want to put it. Also hoping to do the Myer 12 months interest free deal this weekend with thier 10% off, doubt if I can get the La650 40 inch for $2275 as someone else mentioned. Also Harvey Norman has 42 months interest free at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1503559538 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Got my new UA55B8000 today after waiting over a month. Is an amazing panel. Wall mounted it is so much slimmer than my old 50 " Panasonic. Has a funny wall mount - like a painting hanging on two discs that are mounted to the wall. But probably will work o.k. The remotes are space aged, the basic ones are more like garage door remotes - and 2 of them so no need to fight over who has the remote. Definitely looks like the goods - can't wait too get it all connected. Edited July 17, 2009 by Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis7 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) looks like it has inbuilt digital tuner. I saw one in a store and the TV picture was digital. Edited July 18, 2009 by denis7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechc168 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 yup, saw one at Myer and was assured that the free ones from samsung comes wif a built-in HDTV. Good timing too, cos my DTV tuner for my CRT in the bedroom conked out and cannot be fixed or replaced (cos they don't make Strong SDTV tuners anymore!).

Wags69 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) btw, do ppl know what the average time for delivery is? i got my confirmation email (for receipts) on THURDAY and can't wait for it to arrive It says allow 28 days from when it has been processed. Bout 16 days left for me! Edited July 19, 2009 by Wags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechc168 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It says allow 28 days from when it has been processed.Bout 16 days left for me! it took them a while to process the receipts. Sent it out by registered mail one saturday morning and had to call them around the 14 day mark to check. and they said to call back in a week's time! interesting reflection isn't it? here we r in a recession and it looks like there are LOTS of ppl out there buying flat panel televisiong, let alone Samsung ones! btw, has ANYONE actually received one of these televisions? is the darn thing actually worth all this trouble? I m planning to mount it on a wall that's 70 to 90 degrees viewing angle from my bed (have to do this cos the antenna outlet is on that wall and currently, i have my CRT in the wardrobe directly in front of me! guess who's not happy cos it takes up hanging space Can someone recommend a suitable wall mount that enables one to pull the TV out and angle it around 60 degrees to the original mount?
