I have been looking at grabbing a 55" LED TV. Checking pricing before Christmas the cheapest price I could find was $2876. Yesterday I noticed that Harvey Norman in Frankston had it for $2278… Comparing it to prices in the Good Guys, JB etc they were all over $3000. After some haggling I was able to get HN's down to $2100. As I am not a local to the area and it is a little too big to fit in my car I decided I would see if the same price was at all HN stores.

I rang my local HN's (as I live several hours away from Frankston) and their price was $3100, but were prepared to match the price after they made a phone call… So I am off to pick it up tomorrow.

Remember if you buy this prior to 31 December you can also get the Xbox 360 Kinect pack.

Note this is a 3D TV - but it does only come with one pair of 3d Glasses as such you may need to get more.

    I picked up a Sony Bravia KDLX55" 800 3D from JB for $2850 - David Jones has them listed on special for $3800 roughly, 5 year extended warranty for $200 (RRP for $499) and belkin 2m 3d HDMI cable for $99 ($179 listed)

    Includes the free ps3 3d pack, Gran Turismo 5 , 3d sensor and 3 3d movies with 2 3d glasses rrp $1100 roughly

    The ones recommended to me were the Sony and the new Sharp…Wouldnt touch LG with a barge pole

      And you got taken for a ride, $99 for a 2m HDMI cable LOL

      That's a rip off not a bargain, you shouldn't be paying more than $10 for such a short cable.

    • systmworks on 27/12/2010 - 18:34

      It bit harsh to neg this deal when you paid $750 MORE for the same size TV, albeit with a few extras that many people may not want to fork out $750 extra for.. this deal is still a bargain.

        Neg is harsh but I have to say I'd prefer Sony to LG.

        However if the Sony doesn't come with the pack I'd take the LG.

        And I definitely wouldn't take the HDMI…

      It did:

      I hope you got the receipt dated 24/12 or earlier…

    • lazed on 27/12/2010 - 23:08

      If you paid $99 for a 2m HDMI cable you should not be commenting on deals - biggest sucker ever.

  • jhaley3180 on 27/12/2010 - 18:39

    Might be worth pointing out that I am not after the 3D capability as such the Glasses/3D packs don't interest me. Rather I am after the better quality panel's used by 3D.

    The 3D glasses concept doesn't fit with me… Imagine you decide you are going to watch Avatar 3D with five mates… Ops I only have 4 sets of glasses… Sorry buddy you will have to watch it without the glasses, but don't worry if you blink your eyes alternately, and really quickly you might not hate the experience?

    So.. extra glasses etc aren't what I am after.

  • gomango on 27/12/2010 - 19:02

    Sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm after something similar in 46 inches. Did you see how much they were asking for that or have an idea of how much I could get one for?

    • jhaley3180 on 27/12/2010 - 19:07

      Sorry, didn't check that size out…

  • dragon5664 on 27/12/2010 - 19:39

    jhaley3180, can you please post a copy of the receipt…I want check if HN in Maribyrnong will match/beat the price…

  • customxxx on 27/12/2010 - 20:58

    Thats heaps cheap…im going to try it at HN…so is it a good TV?

    • jhaley3180 on 27/12/2010 - 22:15

      I have spent some time looking for an LED LCD and this has been my pick. Sharp consistent image, great colour reproduction, good response and low power usage. I have owned several LG TV's and never had a problem with them (yes I know we could have a debate Sammy Vs Pana Vs LG Vs Sony etc etc) also I think LG are the only major manufacturer that still has the 3 year warranty. So when I pay with my Platinum Credit Card that makes it a 4 Year Warranty without having to fork out an extra couple of hundred bucks for warranty, which incidentally I consider the biggest scam in retail.

  • customxxx on 27/12/2010 - 22:30

    Thanks mate, i'm going to sell my 50" Samsung C550 Plasma. It is a POS!

    I hope i can get it for $2100 like you did, that'd be awesome! Xbox, 3 warranty, 3D etc.

  • dlakers3peat on 27/12/2010 - 23:54

    please people don't waste your hard earned money on expensive 3d hdmi cables. I have 3dtv a ps3 and a cheap hdmi cable and it works fine. $99 for a belkin hdmi cable. What a scam.

  • CyberMurning on 28/12/2010 - 00:15

    wow you guys are rich boys… spend 2K over for a tv…

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 28/12/2010 - 06:38

      Yeah - my car is worth $1k, my TV $2k.

      Go figure..

      I had a good look at the Sammy but the things that put me offer were
      a)Could not find any specifications regarding contrast ratio
      b) Response time I believe for the Sammy is 5ms compared to 2ms for LG (I know probably nothing anybody will actually notice), and
      c) 3 Year warranty for LG compared to 1 year for Sammy…

      Just my thoughts on the two.
