Samsung LE46C530

Morning again.

Dunno if ye've seen the thread over in BA, but Argos are doing the above set for €550 delivered. We've got 2 of them ordered, and was just wondering if ye could pricematch it?

Ye may as well have my money as someone else.;)

Hi again.

Unfortuantely this is a model that is now discontinued on our system and not one that I can even order in.

It seems like a pretty good price, but I would advise that you see the performance of that screen before you buy it as the 40" wasn't up the standard of some of the other screens around the same price.

It's certainly a big screen for that sort of money and currently in a 46", I wouldn't have anything to match.

I am expecting a Philips to come in at £549.95 / €679 which is a 47PFL3605.

Currently I only have the American specs which are subject to change.

I would suggest as this is a much newer screen to the Samsung and it as such has a much better Contrast ratio and superior sound, this would be the closest alternative that I will have. The Philips has an MPEG4 as standard also.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanks Dave.

It's interesting that it's not on your system. AFAIK, it was only released in June.

Anyways, not to worry. Thanks for your time.

dave. Do philips measure contrast ratio different looks to have a lower ratio. Also missing a hdmi slot along with the ability to play
back video from usb. Do you think the euro model will allow for this. Or do they leave these feature out of the entry model on purpose. Must have a look at it when it comes in.

Hi Ted.

It may feature on it, but normally they reserve this for the higher spec screens.

The problem at the minute is that you either buy a screen for performance or sometimes you buy it for features. It's nice to get both if you can, but it's not always possible within a budget.

I personally bought a screen that was the best that I could afford at the time and since then have added other gadgets to give me the functionality that I need. You end up with a much better combination at he end of the day and it doesn't have to cost the earth. Media streamers are not expensive these days, but the decision is up to the individual.

Rant over !

cheers dave. I've a media player that'll play from an external hard drive. Must admit i really like the look of the new apple tv. Paired up with a good tv and an american i tunes account it'd be the biz.

Hi Ted.

I like the look of it too, but I don't like the restrictions.

Typical.
