Samsung LE37B550 - Where to buy?

Hope this is the right forum for this lind of question. Mods feel free to move it.

I've been looking for this TV everywhere:

Richersounds have low stock and won't deliver, bad news becasue I'm in Cork so collection is not an option.

Argos list it on their site: http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/0871514/Trail/searchtext%3ESAMSUNG+LE37B550.htm
But are out of stock nearly everywhere, I'm going in tomorrow to see if it will come in again or if I can order it.

Directtvs.co.uk also list it: http://www.directtvs.co.uk/Samsung_LE37B550_37_Inch_1080p_LCD_TV_LE37B550A5WXXC/version.asp?switchc=e
But for 730.74 euro (210 more than Argos):eek:

If anyone has seen this TV for sale anywhere online or in shops around Cork, please drop me a line.

Failing that, even the C530/C550 series.
Thanks.

Surely you'd be better off gettin the C530 or C550? There the 2010 models and should be better sets? The 40C530 is 500€ in power city and did at the moment with free delivery i think. And without gettin too technical a 40 samsung will have a much better panel than a 37", different panel manufacturers...

Thanks Zonda

The C models look the way to go so.
37" is the limit for the room I am putting it in, 40" might be overkill

On the Powercity website, the 40C530 is €500 like you said, but the 37C530 is €650 :eek:
Whats that about?

Well DID are having a sale this weekend so PC are just matching them on the specific models so as to not look bad i guess. I know what you mean about fear of putting a too big tv into a room but 3" extra should'nt really kill it and i cant see anyone paying 150€ extra for a smaller set!

And like i said earlier, like for like the 40" version will be the much better set

I'd be fairly sure too you wont see the 40C530 lower than 500€ anytime soon so if you're gonna go for it you had probably better make it quick! The 40c530 has now disappeared off the PC website so you're left with DID, i imagine that price will disappear at midnight though!

Thanks again Zonda

Yep, I went for the LE40C530 from DID, had to buy it online though and pay 25 for delivery as I am living in Cork.

Should be arriving on Wednesday/Thursday, thanks again for the help.
I might write a quick review on it once I get it set up and post it in the HE Video Displays & Projectors forum.
