    Thanks to clevtrev, who started this thread :

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056219126

    I just bought a 42" LCD for the bedroom from Amazon. I was going to get it from Richersounds, but did not hear back from them, so I thought I will give Amazon a go, as it was cheaper than richersounds, and free delivery

    I have been buying from Amazon for a long time, and, there return policy is the best there is, as they refund you all deliverry costs if you have to return something, if it goes bad.

    Buying a TV from Amazon is Just like buying a DVD/Book now. Except more expensive:o
    Estimated delivery date 01 April 11 :D

    MODS: if it is ok, lets discuss TV delivery from Amazon in here, not diffrent TV models?

    I will update you once I know how delivery work.

    UPDATE: Sunday 27 Mar 11 - 10:45

    Delivery 1 of 1
    Dispatched
    Delivery Estimate: 30 Mar 2011

    Well, the Girlfriend wanted a 37", but the diffrence in price on Amazon between the 37" & 42" was only €9

    €9 for en extra 5" :D:D:D:D:D

    All i can say is, this will be good for competition, as Amazon is cheap, and local retailers will have to drop there prices soon to compete

    How do you send it back..by Courier ?

    Great that they do it and even better its cheaper, but I recently bout TV for DID which had HDMI issues and brought it back and exchanged straight away

    Wasn't without one at all

    Would be anxious about that part

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    I've a feeling free TV delivery to Irish addresses is a glitch, folks should pounce now if keen to buy.

    Hope I'm wrong caveman, let us know.

    That's how I've done it. Had to send something back recently as they posted the wrong item. I used parcel2go and sent on the invoice to amazon who refunded it (minus VAT) to my account.
    I didn't bother chasing them up for the VAT as parcel2go were nic enough to mistakenly invoice me in pounds instead of euros (15 pound when I paid 15 euro)

    They also ship the replacement before receiving the item back at least in the case of wrong item and you then have 60 days to get the other one back to them.

    That works out at €277 :D:D:D
    I bought that TV in Jan from D.I.D for €369 in the sales and it was the best price around. It's a lovely TV.

    But best of all? It's easy-peasy to unlock, and once done, it has a built in Media player that even plays MKV files.. :D

    I'd be concerned about TV's from the UK not working over here when the DSO happens (sometime 2012) without a set-top box.

    If you purchase a TV with a Freeview HD tuner it will work with Saorview which officially launches next month.

    so tempted to buy this.

    Make sure you turn off the Amazon Currency Converter and let your credit card do the work. It works out cheaper. You have to turn it off, as the default setting is on.

    Actually YES it has.

    It's certified for the French TV DTT called TNT-HD which is a MPEG4 service. There may be some issue with the MHEG5 digital text and the numbering of the channels like the channels starting in 800 but it's broadly compatible with Saorview.

    Do most new tv's not play mkv files? My yolk plays them no messing about, didn't update the firmware or anything either

    Wish i'd seen this about 10 mins ago. I was thinking "that's not a great rate" but didn't think "should turn off currency converter".:mad:
