Myer has 51" Samsung Full HD 3D Plasma PS51D550 for $799 on special until 23 October. Good luck haggling for even better discount and/or warranty. The guy wouldn't throw in warranty for me.

FYI out of box, there is 1 pair of 3D glasses if you were going to use it. Didn't ask him how much extra pair cost cause I wasn't interest. But based on DSE, they're around $150 RRP?

    • QQPenguin on 18/10/2011 - 16:10

      Well, I was procrastinating over the OO deal last time. I would have gladly picked up to keep the price under $800. All psychological. The sales rep said there wasn't any stores in sydney metro with stock today. But I placed order at 3pm today and pickup tomorrow 9am tomorrow. Not too bad.

        Remember that a 51" TV is VERY big and a plasma MUST be transported upright. Never lay a plasma flat when transporting it.

        • bazza236 on 18/10/2011 - 17:29

          Why not lay it flat?!?! Was never told when I bought mine…

        • StrickenAza34 on 18/10/2011 - 17:53

          Never lay it flat because of the gases. May not have been warned from rep, but the Box WOULD have warned you with a big arrow and the words "keep upright"

        • imaximax1 on 18/10/2011 - 19:32

          because of the gases??? is there a whole at the bottom?

          Big ol' sheet of glass don't like layin flat :)

          BTW, These things use twice as much power (or more) as modern LED sets.

          And 3D? All the digital TV transmission sites in Oz have had their 3D capability decommissioned. I guess there's still 3D Bluray…

        • MrZ on 18/10/2011 - 21:01
          +5

          It has to do with it being a large thin pane of glass. Glass panes are always transported upright (ever see those 'glass trucks'?). If it is transported while laying flat, cracks may form because the up and down movement of the vehicle (bumps in road etc) puts stress on the glass and being so thin it is very fragile. You could of course try but not recommended.

        • GregFiona on 18/10/2011 - 21:21

          i also was told so when i bought the same tv from HN(and i had to go back home and drive my old kia sportage 2000…it fitted perfectly :) ) when i got home and tried to attach the base the instructions sheet said that you have to lay the tv on a flat surface… LOL

        • Ultraman on 18/10/2011 - 21:27

          Once at home it aint moving anymore unless you're laying it on your vibrating bed to attach the base lols.

          For the sake of being smart, you have to return it to Myer, have them replace it. Will that dumb Myer rep reimburse you for the time and mileage costs? I guess since he is that clever, its why he still works at Myer LOL

        I thought modern plasmas only used slightly more power than modern LED's and the difference was a matter of a few dollars a year.

        • inertia on 19/10/2011 - 04:18

          You are correct. It's nothing, and you'll never get your money from "saving power"

        • INFIDEL on 21/10/2011 - 00:33

          This Plasma consumes 539kWh (Yearly Average)(350W max; 151W typical) - up to twice a similar sized efficient LED LCD - so about $70+ more to run per year in an average household. BUT, the price difference outweighs the energy cost savings, even over many years!

        • MrZ on 24/10/2011 - 02:41

      • Coops1 on 18/10/2011 - 17:33

        • Reddog888 on 18/10/2011 - 17:08

          Absolutely spot on. Plasma does in fact use a LOT more power than an equivalent LCD or LED.

      • aaronaldo on 19/10/2011 - 11:58

        Also, it's hard to see a Plasma screen when you have the sun on it (which I have at my place). I heard LCD/LED has less of a problem.

          Sure enough the old Plasma screens did have this burn in problem and heat issue but not the new ones that came out mid-late 2010. Also as many pioneer owners can testify once you go Kuro, you never go back

      Very good picture - the latest $3000 TVs where the only ones that really looked noticeably better (unless comparing side-by-side). 1080p blurays are stunning, really vibrant colour.

      Connect up to 2 usb hard disks or thumbsticks at the same time, plus wired networking (you can get a wireless adapter extra), plays almost everything, including .mkv files.

      The 3d didn't impress me too much, but still, was as good as any TV I've seen.

They have samsung ua46d6600 LED TV there over a month now at $1599 when most retailers have them for $2000 plus.
