Good man jarvis - delighted as always to see you posting. I got one of the 32" models just after Xmas so that should do me for a while but I do have a couple of friends that would be interested in the above.

LOL can't wait to see this thread grow. Still well pleased with my TV too. Hopefully some of the others that missed the €399 bargain will pick something up this time.

Fair play Jarvis.;)

I'm still very happy with my 32" (genuine) Technosonic. Then again...

Lord Nikon

Don't think they'll be on sale this week due to the beer promo their having. Tesco Maynooth had no information of the discounts today either. Looks like it will be next wednesday.

Good man jarvis.
Will this be a refund on clubcard points offer or genuine money off offer?
Also, is this in selected/bigger stores or all stores?
My local Tesco is a mickey mouse affair when it comes to electricals.:)

Lord Nikon

The deal kicks off in Tesco at 9am next Wednesday. This is confirmed because they rang me personally. Lovely Jubbly

They have internal scalers. Same way computer monitors can be set to multiple resolutions.

It's just a price reduction. You bring in €999 or €699 depending on model, and you leave with 42" or 32" depending on cash you bring.
It also depends on how quick off the mark you are. You could bring €999 or €699 and leave with €999 or €699. With this early notice, there isn't much of an excuse for anyone who really wants one, to leave with €999 or €699.

It is next Weds and I'll answer questions about how many units that individual stores will have in a later post.

To answer the guy about the alcohol: All the shops have it but they're running out fast!!!!!

Jarvis:D

themonk

Fair play Jarvis ... is there any way you could ask for one to be reserved ... sorta like what happened at christmas once they advertise it ... ?

quintron

Cool.. however..the specs & link listed above by yellow dog point to 32PF5331/10 and jarvis listed a 32PF3331/10. The 5 in the former seems to indicate a newer/different model. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
Cheers

mobby

Sorry folks but am I missing something here, you can pick up a 32” LCD from various online sites for similar if not a little cheaper so what’s the big deal with this one. Also do you not need to have a dual tuner for the PIP to work?

mayto

yep i dont understand what the hype is about these, its nothing like the 400 euro deal, 700 euro is nothing special at all for a 32 inch atm. Check out the other lcds threads in this section. You can get samsung 32 inch lcd's off german sites for 650 delivered and the price is going down the whole time.

Do-more

Was in Germany last week and Media Markt had a special offer on a 32" Sony Bravia LCD at €849! Which seems like a great price for a high-end model. It just goes to show that prices for LCD's are dropping fast. Although it will be a while before we see anymore 32" LCD's at €399! Cheers Jarvis mine is the biz!

Thanks for that jarvis.:)
As I thought, I checked with my local Tesco (niece is some sort of manager there) and they're not getting them in. They *may* get 1 or 2 sent down to them but won't know until it arrives.:mad:

Shiminay

jarvis, you're a legend, many thanks!

god's toy

It will be very soon as the details were sent to the advertisers yesterday.

(also the ad sent up was a 32" but model number was from a 42"...)

Tazz T

How does this work for 24-hr stores? Tues/Wed midnight???

@drdre

700 euro's isnt a bargain anymore for 32 inch lcd's, I wouldnt pay anymore than that tbh. You can get a samsung 32 inch lcd for 570 euro delivered off one of the german sites mentioned in the other lcd thread. The fact that you go and go into store and buy the tv there and then, is the only thing really special about that philips tv price.

mobby

What looks like the same model is in power city ATM for €699 also, for those that cannot wait! http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-12-=4337

Actually, when you go to the checkout, it's 673 quid (Paddys weekend discount).

kaisersose77

Well I'm after ordering this one

http://www.topvision-online.de/details.html?item=739922229451112ec4d761&

Came to 622 including delivery and could pay by credit card ( it says +16.00€ Credit Card so i dont know if theres a further 16 euro charge but it wasnt mentioned in the checkout)

This one works out at just over 580 including delivery

http://www3.hardwareversand.de/8VaAPE0ZTChsfY/3/articledetail.jsp?aid=8859&agid=568

Payment is by bank transfer

Frankieboy

In tesco today, the 42" is €1349, model 42pf3331/10 is this the full price reduction or will there be further reduction next Wednesday. Cheers.

AIB screwed you then, it's been discussed on boards before (search for jes.de and you should find it) but banks should not charge you more to transfer to a bank in the EU than one in Ireland.

mayto

they charge you more for quick payment or something like that, its only 50c or something for the normal method. Or else that bank teller pocketed 19.50!

Hi guys, do any of those Samsung TV's from Germany have picture-in-picture?

Dman001

What model is the 32" philips

ronanm98

Hi,

Question for those that have bought 32" LCD TV from Germany, whats the story on customs and tax!

Is it safe to get it delivered from Germany? Any problems from anyone?

Thanks Ronan.
