Hi guys, first time poster. I was in dick smith yesterday and the manager told me that this TV (which is currently on sale for 899 down from $1299ish) will be $699 online from 4pm today (24/12/15) and on Boxing Day Instore (26/12/15).

Great saving!

Discounted Gift Cards

Apply the 18.2% off with the Big W and DSE at Woolworths and it brings it down to ~$572.
- step 1: Buy Big W cards for 10% off and then buy Woolworths cards with these
- step 2: Buy DSE cards at Woolworths (which are 9.1% off at the moment ) with the gift cards.
- gives you 18.2%

Note: See comments this method is not guaranteed to work, proceed at your own risk.

I saw at least 20 boxes at the Marion store in Adelaide. Confirmed with manager that this is Australia wide.

I assume this is a great deal, personally I'm intestate and can't take advantage of it 😞

    Is this 3860 (4k) for TRUE UHD 4k? (4096)

    Apply the 18.8% off with the bigW and DSE at Woolworths and it brings it down to $566.19

    How is this? Can some one explain?

      That's if you get away with buying gift cards with gift cards which is not really aallowed.

      • Sestrooper on 24/12/2015 - 11:46

        Oh really? I must have been lucky. Never had an issue yet and I have tried at least 5 different stores around Australia. Worth a try anyway!

        • [Deactivated] on 24/12/2015 - 11:47

          Been discussed in big W gift cards deal.

        • danger163 on 24/12/2015 - 11:58

          So I buy Big W cards online (eGift cards), go to WW store and exchange them for Physical cards and then buy DSE cards online?

        • [Deactivated] on 24/12/2015 - 12:36

          @danger163: no you will probably find you won't be allowed to do that. Been discussed before in e gift card deals.

  • ranma241 on 24/12/2015 - 11:25

    This dosent seem like a UHD but a FHD TV refer to link http://www.harveynorman.co.nz/tv-and-audio/televisions/led-l…

    However still a great price

      For the price it is still a great TV

    • volturee on 24/12/2015 - 11:42

      What the advantage of 100 compared to 50? I did some light research and most say u won't notice anything different except for 3d content. Please correct me if I'm wrong

      • BradH13 on 24/12/2015 - 11:55

        50Hz screens suffer from motion blur.

        Whether or not your eyes see it is the question. I certainly do, and need 100Hz minimum - especially for video games.

        Not everyone is picky though so this screen could be fine for you.

        • volturee on 24/12/2015 - 11:59

          Thanks for the input brad. Also read that most modern panels have some sort of technology to reduce motion blur so refresh rate isn't the only factor any more. Gotta read more arghhh

        • BradH13 on 24/12/2015 - 12:01
          +1

          Yeah, they do - doesn't work as well as a native 100Hz screen though.

        • nakedposition on 24/12/2015 - 14:12
          +1

          I don't think you're going to be able to find 100Hz content easily.

          All of your movies, tv will be at 60Hz or less, current gen consoles won't be higher than 60 (probably lower), so all you have left realistically is PC Gaming, but if you're playing games @ 100 FPS wouldn't you prefer a g-sync/freesync monitor?

        • soob on 24/12/2015 - 16:57

          @BradH13:
          The 100Hz is irrelevant, for other than games, since (almost?) no content is 100Hz unless the TV has good motion interpolation (read: guesses what has moved and where it could be) for the extra frames. I found Samsung and Sony both only rarely worked well for sports, which is where you mostly want it since movies are 24p and look extremely weird with 100Hz (read: soap opera effect). I now have the top model Sony 60", I leave motion interpolation (100Hz) off always, and I mostly watch sports. YMMV

        • ozy on 24/12/2015 - 19:09

          Some 100hz TV's also have motion blur.
          Its due to the LCD screen refresh rate anything at or under 5ms is not going to give you motion blur that the human eye can pickup.

        • nick nick on 24/12/2015 - 22:39
          +1

          Console games usually run at 30fps and never more than 60.

          THis also isn't real 120/144hz you get on 24~31 inch gaming monitors.

          Stop spreading misinformation.

    Could be stuck with gift cards you dont want as cant change for ones you want or when you do get your dse one no tvs or deal not on in your state.
    Would not want to be stuck with dse gift cards.

    • aert on 24/12/2015 - 12:20

      Yeah agree, especially with Dickie cancelling pretty much every order I've made with them the past few months.

    Make sure you check out the PVR function before buying this. I have the 43LF5500 and it sucks. Single tuner so you can only record what you watch, and if you want to record TV onto a hard drive it reformats the drive so wipes everything you have saved on it already. Additionally, you can't record onto a USB stick. It has to be a hard drive. Hopefully this model is different!

    • aja12 on 24/12/2015 - 13:27

      Yep, bought an LG TV for relatives last Christmas and the PVR function definitely sucks. Won't record to any USB, regardless of capacity. TV guide is strange too, only seems to load the guide for the channel that is currently in use. No issues with TV itself though.

    Naked position what are you on about ,not be able to find 100 hertz content.It is the refresh rate of the tv to put it simple 100 hertz is 100 frames per second,the quicker the refresh rate less lag.

      Our Aussie $$ was worth more back then too.

  • raziel on 24/12/2015 - 16:06

    Can you redeem multiple gift cards online? I can see an option to add a gift card but it's not clear whether you can add several.

    Hi Guys,

    What do you suggest should I buy 6 x 100 and 1x 50 gift cards at woolies that will bring it to $ 710 and pay or should I be skeptical giving reputation of Dick Smith cancelling orders.

    TV seems to be a good one and upto my likings and we'll within budget.

    Please guide

  • ShortyX on 24/12/2015 - 21:39

    If you buy the Big W gift cards at 10% off, can you use them at DSE in store or online?

  • Them3lguy on 24/12/2015 - 22:05

    I think at both.. The website does have a link of payment page, gift card option there

  • Them3lguy on 25/12/2015 - 09:11

    Merry Christmas Mates,

    If any one can confirm that the deal will be available in store tomorrow!?

    50hz refresh rates are just the concerns which are holding me from pulling the trigger (credit card from my wallet)

      I spoke to two seperate managers in two seperate stores and they both confirmed it will be Instore. Victor harbour had 5 in stock. Marion had at least 20. They said it was Aus wide

      I set this TV up with the $699 promo and there were A0 sized poster sent out to each store. It's definitely on in-store. It's also on the front page of the Boxing Day catalogue.

      • Them3lguy on 25/12/2015 - 13:22

        Hey mate,

        If you can also lemme know if I were to buy multiple gift cards for woolies and make payment via 6 or 7 different gift cards would it be accepted in store?!

        It am planning it to buy it as a birthday gift for my sister who is working at woolworths, may be after she sees the TV she can put in 5% employee discount as well there.

        Thanks for guidance

          There's no limit to how many gift cards you can use if you go in store. I have no idea about the website. I avoid it like the plague. If

          you plan to use her Woolies discount she really should come with you. Some managers care about the non-named person using someone else's Staff card as it is against the T&Cs. Personally I don't care but YMMV.

  • Tigerclaw on 25/12/2015 - 11:32

    Is anyone else having issues with ordering this TV on DSE website?

    When I go to checkout, put the credit card info and click purchase, the error message keeps on saying that I've missed out the Shipping Address but there is no section for shipping details! So I've created an account and updated my billing & shipping information but still not proceeding to order?!? Very annoying as I've been trying this since last night and might miss out on the deal :(

    Hi,
    I have ordered this TV online on xmas day.
    However, havent heard anything about the delivery. I have called DS but seems they dont know about the delivery.
    Can,I ask does someone here and order online and receive the TV ?
    I am worry that they lost my order and currently they are out of stock.
    thank you.

  • Frankly Frankie on 06/01/2016 - 20:49

    Purchased mine via DJ's.
    Rang them yesterday asking for a contact point at DS to find out where order is at. Said would get back to me.
    Received following email earlier today -

    Thank you for contacting David Jones.
