SAMSUNG LED TELEVISION

BionicRasher

Seems like a very good bargain
reduced from €991 to €554
44% off

seeing as a lower spec 32 inch model is approx €500 in the shops this one seems like a great buy

Any thoughts?

I am not worried about deliver times - it arrives when it arrives
Price and specs more important to me
Have you had a bad experience with them?

Pixmania have a really horrific reputation amongst anyone who has ever had issues in dealing with them. Basically if anything goes wrong you'll wish you never, ever, ever went near them.

- Anyone that tells you this is untrue has just been really lucky so far in their Pixmania dealings and their day will soon come.....

I'd have to agree, if and when it arrives make sure to double check it before signing for it. If its damaged and you have signed for it you will end up in the proverbial without the paddle. I would pay 200 more elsewhere for peace of mind

Bought a multimedia hard drive off them about 2-3 years ago and never went back, a 3.5" hard drive packed into a box approximately the size that reams of paper come in without any extra packing = broken hard drive.
There RMA system is a joke and i ended up opening it up and fixing it myself.

Never gone back, often use them for a price reference thats about it.

Having said that, great value offer!

Never had any problems with Pixmania, there delivery times have always been reasonable.

It's an okay TV for a good price, but I would, like several other users, recommend buying from someone other than Pixmania. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired and, while their delivery times may be adequate for some, I would rather buy from a company with a more robust consumer appreciation; something to think about when considering buying such a large item.

Pixmania is grand and abit cheaper than others sometimes, the shipping is alot though and if something ever goes wrong with a product u buy from them they will not reply to emails sometimes and if they do they often just tell you to contact the manufacturer. They dont want to have anything to do with you after they take your money

Dont buy a 50Hz TV. You will regret it on a large set.

i think you could get away with it on a 37" as long as you're not used to any better

I had s 50hz lcd and would not recommend it, if you want something cheap get a 46" plasma with great picture quality and no ghosting for around 700 in any major electrical outlet. Plasma quality is like the mid-high range LCD LED

I would rather walk a half a mile naked over hot coals with firelighters between my toes carrying a 32" CRT TV on my back before I would buy anything again off Pixmania, yes they are that bad, if you look up in the dictionary the definition of Pain it says Pixmania Customer Service.:rolleyes:
