Today I bought a Christmas/Housewarming prezzie for myself. A 40" LCD TV :)

After a lot of research, this is the one I bought: http://www.samsung.com/au/products/tv/lcdtv/la40r71bd.asp

Now to set it up and check out the HDTV goodness :)

That's worth more than my car!

*drools* glad you didn't go plasma anyway (price aside) they seem to fade after about 18 months apparently. Happy viewing :-)

Cheers.

Yea, there was no way I was going to buy a plasma. LCD all the way!

The viewing angle is nothing short of spectacular! 178 degrees! To be outside that viewing angle, you would pretty much have to be viewing the TV side on.

And 5000:1 contrast ratio! *drool*

Hey thats the same tv that I got in september! How much did it end up costing if u dont mind my asking?

[steven047]

After doing a fair bit of negotiating, and "i can get it over at that place for x dollars", with the Harvey Norman sales guy, I got it for $2864. Not bad since the sticker price was $3499.

P.S. Who is this?

itsss meeee, 64 is a weird number :P They still have it for $4,699 on the samsung website and its a better deal that i got in september $3,300 or something

Yea, what I did was look online for the absolute cheapest price i could find (which was $2864), and took a printout of that into a few different places to see if they could beat/match it. Harvey Norman was the only one willing to do so. I was happy with this, because I'd much rather buy from Harvey Norman than some random web site, in case something goes wrong with it and have to take it back.
