Yes, the specs are very good. 60:000 contrast ratio means the colours on it will be amazing - films will look really good on it.

To be honest, I haven't seen a tv this good for this price ever

Nice nice. And I saw it's Hd. With the tv's that come from lidl people always ask do they have mpeg-4 (i think that's it anyways) because if it doesn't it can't pick up Irish terrestrial channels. If it has that I'm defo buyin that

How come there's no option on the UK eBuyer website to change the country to Ireland?

Are you using the paypayl checkout or normal checkout?

Both allow me to set EIRE as my address - you have to select UK as the address then REP123 as postcode

Normal checkout (if my mam lets me buy it ). Is this correct? Sorry to ask a stupid question but I've never bought off of an english site (besides Amazon) before so this is somewhat confusing, plus it's morning and I'm still sleepy.

Think you may have to select to pay via google checkout or paypal for ebuyer. Both are painless anyway. Theres a guide to checking out here, not sure if its all still valid tho:

Nevermind, mam's on hols and she won't give me the cc to buy it until she's home on Sat. All I have is a laser card and that won't work. All I can hope now is that there's some in stock by the time she's home. Can't wait until I'm 18 in two weeks then I can get a visa card god dammit.

Get a pre-paid mastercard instead and save yourself the hassle of CC debt! You can load it for free from a lazer card. Can't recommend it highly enough - Moneybookers

OOooooo interesting. Thanks alot! .. and that I can load it from a laser means I can buy from sites that don't accept Irish laser cards (or laser in general). How come I didn't find this sooner

Edit, you've to be 18 for that too lol.

Mam said we'll only go into a bricks and mortar shop (bit of a technophobe).. so I better start looking online in places like Currys and stuff.

Also looking for the LE32C530 (this years model). If anyone sees it cheaper than D.I.D which I have locally in Galway please let me know. Pixmania UK has the LE32C530 for only 305Pounds = 365Euros and another 7pounds off with a voucher. Unfortunately they don't ship to Ireland.

So just in case anyone knows a cheaper place than D.I.D (E429) for the LE32C530 please let me know.

Btw in the richersounds section I was quoted Pounds 319 which is an excellent price too. Unfortunetely they can't ship that TV and its a bit of a overkill to travel to Belfast from Galway for that.

Thanks

P.S. The free shipping is only for UK anyways at Ebuyers - Correct?

I wouldnt advise that for something you are going to pay nearly €400 for. Its ok for a freebie, you have nothing to lose, but ebuyer might charge you shipping fee when the item is returned to them as wrong address. ROI 123 does work for ebuyer

Do you mean that you have seen it cheaper in Galway ?
If so where ?

Try Peter Murphys in Westside. I found my TV was E20 cheaper there than in DID. Not much but still with their double discount thing it'd be 40.

Worth noting that the newer version lets you play Avi & other format files from a thumb drive or HDD. That could be a very handy feature.

There is no industry standard way of measuring contrast and Samsung's figures are the most outlandish.

Read reviews of the TV and proceed with caution.

I bought a Samsung LCD TV and will not buy another as it has so many bugs it's not funny.

To: Fistycuffs. No I meant to say that there is a D.I.D in Galway so I could buy it in-store not having to deal with shipping or sending it back if something were to happen. Just figured maybe someone knows a cheaper place somewhere.

Also anyone know what the best panel is for the TV and if there is a way to find out the panel maker by the serial number. If I buy it at D.I.D I doubt they'll let me take all their TV's out of the box to see the sticker inside that tells me the panel maker. Its on the top left side of the TV btw if anyone is interested.

If there is a way to determine the Panel maker by the serial number that is on the actual TV box that would be great. I think Samsung panels are the best and 2nd best is AUO and it goes downhill from that point on.

Yeah you're right the SQ panel is meant to be the best followed by the AU or maybe its AOU cant remember but if def begins with an A. The panel to avoid is the CN one though. I've no idea if you can check the panel from the serial, you're better off going on to AV Forums and asking there!!
