It's a 50hz set,where are you getting the 100hz spec from....

From Sony Tier 3 Technical support is where I am getting it from.
Although I did mention in my post above it's 100hz (or possibly 50hz).

I assume you are getting the 50hz spec from the test HDTVTest.co.uk ran and reported 300 lines of motion.

not in stock anywhere, is it still possible to get this? does anyone know

i work in argos, in the stock room
we get a big delievery every friday which mostly is tv's ( any other large items ) but
cant speak for every other argos but
last friday we got the 2nd tv mentioned in the OP only twice ( out of 28 tvs delievered that morning ), and it sold out later on that day , think it only took 3 hours to sell out. Tvs go quite fast in argos, as their good quality, and normally always have a discount on them, not sure if they all come with warrentys, il can check though, they should come with at least a year, isnt their some law on that?

i work in the illac one in dublin , so if your looking for this particular model i'd suggest getting in early, as its quite cheap and in my opinion one of the better tvs in the store, specially for its price

you could also try the jervis one, i think they have big delieveries on fridays/saturdays as well

coming closer to xmas their will most like be alot more stock for all tvs anyway cause they sell like hotcakes:pac:

the offer ends today though?

There's a chance I won't be using my reservation code for Mahon Point. Can't justify it.
I've offered it to the lads in the office, and I'm waiting to hear back from them. So if nobody wants it here, it'll be up for grabs.

id take it if it's available

I'll give you a shout when I get the collection notice from Argos, and nobody in here claims it.

Anybody know when these tvs should be in cork stores?have reservation code but forgot dates they said it would be in stock

Hi,
Got one in Arklow reserved until tomorrow evening.
Anyone got a reservation to swap in Limerick/Galway Argos.
Thanks

Just picked mine up from the ilac, reserved it Saturday and got the text today to pick it up.

Yeah same here but won't be able to collect it till Thursday, hopefully they will honour the price I reserved it at.

Anyone know if you can use a discount on Argos sales items?

I tried a few stores in dublin to see if i could reserve it at that price , she said it will be in stock on 18th but she cant reserve it at that price

Ok I have one reserved in Klkenny if any one got one in the GDA ill swap.

Don't mind it, they only say valid until (insert date) to boost up sales to make it sell quicker, sometimes they will put the price back up to normal, but a week later they will drop it again, its all about sales mate. With christmas getting closer theirs only going to be more and more sales, this week it might be the OP's tvs that are on sale, but next week it could be a 50/60inch smart HD tv on sale.
Its all about getting in their first to buy it, because we could get 20 tvs on 1 delievery, but all 20 could be different, so theirs never enough for everyone on the sales of items, its the reason they sell so fast,
but like i said big deliveries are on fridays , and saturdays coming closer to christmas(no sat deliveries yet but in novemeber they start I think)
so make sure you guys, for what ever you are buying in Argos, keep an eye out for something you want on sale or whatever for friday afternoon/saturday mornings, because it takes us the whole morning and sometimes afternoon to put away all the fresh stock so it would'nt be up on the system until friday afternoon or saturday morning.
