For anyone looking for a decent Sony LCD for - in my opinion - a very decent price (though we'll see what the OzB community thinks), here's a receipt for a purchase yesterday.
Price on the floor for this TV $2,999. Got it down to $2,398… 4 year extra warranty for $275 made this lovely bit of electronics mine.
Franchise owner (not the manager on the floor) had to approve, stated he hadn't sold this for less than $2,789.
Full specs of this model: http://www.sony.com.au/product/kdl-55hx820
Amended the title, thanks!
Harvey Norman advertise this TV for 2499 on their Website.

^^ Above
No deal
And with the extra warranty $2878… Sure it does not make this a bargain, just a small discount, but compare like with like at least.
Thanks for posting but no value here, sorry.
Ozbargain? Or Ozripoff?
Picked this tv up for $2195 + warranty and stand. Its a beautifull tv you wont regret it, if you buy it.
Except of course for MKV playback….
You bought it from Harvey Norman as well.
Lesson here is always do your research before walking into a shop to buy.
you got ripped bad
hahahahaha
"Franchise owner (not the manager on the floor) had to approve, stated he hadn't sold this for less than $2,789" and you believed him???
hahahahahahaha
Enjoy your new tv
BWAHAHAHA COOL STORY BRO! OZSHOW OFF at best
Franchise owner (not the manager on the floor) had to approve, stated he hadn't sold this for less than $2,789.
That's because he has been ripping all his customers.
Loathed as I am to interrupt the mobbing… the tv and warranty were bought at lower than the advertised price… no one has (yet) offered a link to a cheaper alternative.
That said, I am not sure that this should have been posted, this is a pricematch.
Ok… back to the informative negging and taking the piss…
no one has (yet) offered a link to a cheaper alternative
There are 2 links in the first 3 posts^.
maybe he was blinded by that shiny dollah!
First post was a different product, second post only shows their webprice - add the warranty it is more expensive.
So, Andy's post stands.
I don't mind that it doesn't stack up to some of your opinions of "bargain". The way i see it is that if i don't need it, it can be a cheap as it is, it'll never be a bargain for me. I felt it was a damn good price for a very fine product. If someone wants to use my experience to get an even better deal, i'm happy. If not… so be it.

There are 2 links in the first 3 posts^.
first one is irrelevant as it is for a different product,
second link is for a price $101 more than the op paid….
6 negs and….. as yet, still no one has offered a link to a cheaper alternative
Should state that this TV is a
Full HD 3D TV with Dynamic Edge LED, Motionflow XR 400, Wi-Fi, Internet video and Skype
instead of a LCD
Previously, a Sony 55" LCD TV was selling for $1166 which was indeed a bargain - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/56681
