    wow cheap. I assume its the smart tv since it says wifi. I got this at HN for about $1200 (less $200 in AMEX statement credits) in August

    • ddsingh on 29/01/2016 - 13:51

      Yes it is definitely a smart tv, and reviews say its navigation is pretty speedy as well

      • nismo on 29/01/2016 - 19:29

        TV's do navigation now?

        A bit bulky to carry around, I would have thought.

  • shapers on 29/01/2016 - 13:51

    This is really cheap. Everywhere else I've seen it's over $1000

  • CanadaAye on 29/01/2016 - 14:04

    Great price! I got this for just under $700 recently and am really happy with this TV. The Smart interface is quite snappy and I'm happy with the picture quality.

    • grumpyhermit on 29/01/2016 - 14:06

      Just wondering where did you get the deal from? :)

        It was via the good guys ebay store. It was around $720 but with cashrewards cashback came in just under $700.

          I got it via the same deal as well, only way I could be happier with the TV is if I got it via this one.

          Edit: Actually, there is one really annoying feature and thats the accessibility menu, when I press the subtitle button I want it to turn tbe subtitles on or off, nothing else.

        • rlexyd on 29/01/2016 - 20:05

          @rlexyd:

          The staff member from the Auburn Costco advised me they do this when Samsung offers COSTCO more money (rebates) to actually sell ALL of a specific TVs as quick as possible.
          More than likely Samsung wants to clear out this specific line, because if Costco doesn't sell them they get SENT/RETURNED back to Samsung hence they would prefer to sell them all off!

          Also, I heard a manager say (why would anyone want to buy the whole pallet of 20 TVs, staff seemed annoyed they weren't able to get any).

          Maybe it wasn't the staff that bought them.

        • Tadashi on 29/01/2016 - 20:11

          @rlexyd: am right here at Auburn the shelf had 7 still in the pallet. Apparently it's a pricing error so refuse to sell it at that price. Also cited OH&S so not willing to bring down the pallet. Oh well, not meant to be.

        • rlexyd on 29/01/2016 - 20:16

          @Tadashi:

          You serious?!?
          What the hell? Would sending you a copy of my receipt help?

        • Tadashi on 29/01/2016 - 20:20

          @rlexyd: no. Thanks thou. They cited pricing error. Thanks thou

          +1

          @Tadashi:

          I bet you the $510 Discount/Rebate was Correct, what the problem I think is they where suppose to UP the listing price from $1099 to the RRP OF $1399 and then apply the discount!!!
          COSTCO are guilty of doing this ALL the time.
          I bet you that's what happened, the marketing department made an error and dos NOT up the standard retail price and they didn't realise that till the evening.

          A few weeks ago they had the 55" Sony KDL-W800C around $1450 minus the $200 Rebate, it came down to $1250, NOW the regular price is $1240!

        • Tadashi on 29/01/2016 - 20:36

          @rlexyd: sounds about right.

          They said the discount should have been $210 and that they lost $20k today. Very doubtful about their explanation.

          Normally I'd argue but I guess they are just doing their jobs.

        • whooah1979 on 30/01/2016 - 09:18

        If there was only a few why is it so hard to count and say how many left? If the quantity is less than 10 it is not supposed to be posted as a deal. Otherwise if there was only 2-3 it might save someone an unnecessary trip.

        However, some dude from the office then scanned in the serial number off the box … Maybe they reprinted the ticket without the sale price?
