    TV: Samsung Series 6 LE52A656
    Type: 52" LCD
    Date ordered: 14/5/08
    Date received: 17/5/08
    Price: €2460 inc. delivery (over €500 cheaper than Currys/Dixons!)
    Bought from: http://www.samsyerman.co.uk/
    Retailer satisfaction: Absolutely perfect. I ordered after searching around and finding nowhere even near as cheap as these guys, also got a 5% discount code after entering a contest on their site. Delivery was £50 to Kildare. Another advantage is the fact they offer a 3 year warranty, instead of the usual 1!
    TV satisfaction: Couldn't be happier, picture quality is amazing; Blu-Rays look absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful!

    TV: Panasonic TH42PX80
    Type: 42" Plasma HD ready (720p)
    Date ordered:12/04/08
    Date received: 18/04/08
    Price: £697 + £40 delivery = €928
    Bought from: http://www.electricalexperience.co.uk/
    Retailer satisfaction: Website says delivery to Ireland, but drop down only has UK, so you enter "Ayrshire" (or somewhere) & wait for them to call. Very responsive by email & phone. IRL warranty (only 1 year, 5 year came out in May!), but you pay to ship it back if something goes wrong in first month.
    TV satisfaction: Excellent TV, lots of good reviews. Very good with SD TV, DVDs and sport. Very happy with purchase.

    Date Bought: 29-05-2008
    Date Delivered: 03-06-2008
    Price: €1149.99 plus €59.99 shipping
    Bought From: RicherSounds.ie
    Retailer Satisfaction: Very Satisfied
    TV Satisfaction: Incredibly happy.
    Accessories: nice black cabinet from power city - €115 :)

    I opted for a cheaper 50inch and not full 1080p as i dont see the need. I have a 360 running off it and it looks incredible - dvd's and especially games - COD4 is AMAZING on it :D

    I previously had a sony rear projection which pales in comparison in both SD and HD. SD is a little blurry but im about 12-14 feet away and cant notice. the colour is excellent and the black levels are very deep. overall - glad i opted for this over the 46" 1080p which was €800 more!!

    TV satisfaction: Very happy - just need to tweak the settings. Looks lovely!!!! Was debating about full HD versus HD ready but am v.happy with it.

    Pioneer plasma Kuro 4280xd

    I took the tv and home cinema set deal for 1950 from Alliance Electric

    Good knowledgeable service - came and set up the tv in navan and wired everything in the house up to the surround sound thingy.

    He was in the house for well over an hour.

    and I just got in for the 5 year gaurantee offer - couldnt recomend them enough.

    Pretty impressed with the TV. My one year old keeps taking swings at it with the poker though - seems to think its a target or an enemy.

    Bought from http://www.1staudiovisual.co.uk/ in August Samsung Le40A656 LCd €1070 including delivery.
    £100 pounds delivery charge but still saved 350 compared to buying from irish retailer. Delivery was the next day.
    Just needed to fax them proof of address. then whole process was fantastic. Great TV great Service. Look to shop abroad for a bargain. When you compare the price in currys Dublin to Currys in Newry Northern Ireland It tells you that we are being ripped off because the irish market bears it. So if buying expensive tv Shop online or hop in your car and drive to northern Irekland to save hundreds

    Cant change post.

    Sadly richersounds couldnt get the PZ80 for me :(
    for love nor money.

    So went for the PZ8 instead, lower contrast ratio & one less hdmi port.

    tv cost £750 but panasonic are honouring the 5 year warrenty at that price. [it was £70 extra otherwise iirc]

    After waiting a month for the PZ80 to come in, changed the order to the PZ8 and that came into stock end of last week and delivered today along with our Pioneer 5.1 home cinema kit.

    total incl delivery was ~€1170.

    As an aside, richersounds have an awesome customer support crew. Great guys to talk to and very helpful.

    Saw the alert for this tv on the bargains thread - £399 or €544 from currys, including a home theatre system -was sick!!
    Luckily amazon then dropped their price to £329, and after checking every currys in NI (where I happen to weekending) and finding none of the specials left, I contacted amazon, explained my predicament and that I would be returning the tv as it was inside 30 days from sale - they agreed to refund me the difference, thus the TV cost me £329 - with a 3 year guarantee - now that's a deal - cheers to currys!!

    Pixmania

    Delighted with this set. Was going to buy it from Richer Sounds but they don't deliver them to Ireland anymore and couldn't guarantee when they'd be in stock, seems to be issues ordering from laptop place with credit cards. So I took the plunge last week and am blown away by the picture quality. When connected to UPC signal the digital tuner picks up 180 stations, between TV and radio. Can watch about 30 of these, saves me getting a second UPC digital box, have one elsewhere in the house. Don't know why I can't view all the stations, anyone shed any light on this? Only set it up last night, haven't had a chance to check out the MPEG4 signal for the terrestrial stations, will do that tonight. Xbox, PS3 connected via HDMI and honestly, the picture is amazing. Wii connected by component, Sky+ connected by scart, all look brilliant. Even the analogue feed from NTL is quite good, overall, in case you haven't guessed - delighted!

    Price: £999
    Bought From: Richersounds, Belfast
    Retailer Satisfaction: Great service
    TV Satisfaction: I bought this along with an AV amp and floorstander speakers (just went for two for the moment, no surround setup planned yet), but because I got it in the mouth of Christmas, I've only set the TV up so far. I've only tried standard aerial TV and standard Sky on it, but I've been very pleased so far. There is some ghosting visible on standard telly broadcasts which I presume is down to my aerial being a little off (this is actually more prevalent on Irish TV rather than the UK channels, for some reason). The TV didn't need much adjusting out of the box to get the picture looking just right (for me, anyway) and the viewing angle is very good. All in all, the picture is far superior to my recently-purchased Philips 22" LCD and I'm very very happy with the purchase and with Richer Sounds.

    TV: Sony KDL40V4000
    Type: 40" LCD
    Date Bought: This week
    Price: €569 (+ shipping)
    Bought From: LaptopsDirect.co.uk
    Retailer Satisfaction: Happy
    TV Satisfaction: Extremely Happy

    The TV for the price is absolutely fantastic. I didn't need a > 50Hz screen (never watch football, mainly movies, etc). My only issue was with laptopsdirect.co.uk (or buyitdirect.co.uk) regarding payment. I placed an order on a Wednesday afternoon. When ordering I wanted my order shipped to my work office as opposed to my credit card billing address. I watched my order status remain @ "we have yet to take payment" then on Friday afternoon it switched to "order cancelled", so I rang them immediately. I was told that they contacted my bank and were told that the address specified and my billing address did not match. Which is true because I wanted it shipped to work, so I explained this. They grilled me as to why I would want to do that (there would have been nobody at home). They then tried to call me on my mobile while I called them from landline to verify that I was the person behind all contact numbers. They failed initially and told me someone else answered the phone and said they weren't me (while I was holding my mobile phone in my hand). I told them them to make sure they dialed my number in the international format (as I had specified when ordering) to which they said that had, but voila it worked the second time. I don't think they actually process your card details electronically at the time of order. Instead they just feck your card details in a database and then manually contact the bank with your details afterwards. This means that human intervention is required during the payment process. Pro's and Con's apply.

    Anyway on the Friday afternoon they established payment, and shipped it to my billing address as they wouldn't ship it anywhere else. So I had to take time off work to receive it. It arrived yesterday in pristine condition. I've never seen a product of its size ship in such good condition.

    Set it up yesterday evening and am extremely impressed with it. In fairness to laptopsdirect I believe they were just security concious which I respect. It did result in my order taking a little longer and having to take a few hours off work. Also they don't give you an online tracking number, instead give you an order number and a UK phone number to call. Thankfully I have free calls to UK landlines and at least they don't leave you holding for very long.

    Would I do business with them again...Yes!

    I think it's the best LCD I've seen @ the price I paid.

    For high def content it's absolutely fantastic. Analogue tv is decent also, but there isn't much you can do with inferior input. I have a friend who has the 3xxx series, and thought it looked good enough. I think the 4xxx looks even better. I took a bit of a risk because any shop I went in to I tried to get as many questions answered as I could without sounding too much like I knew what I was talking about. In the half dozen or so shops I visited the sales people all knew less than I did, and in one case talked for many mins about the tv and then brought me over to the completely wrong tv when I asked them for a demo. Shops can be a disaster.

    TV: LG 32LG2000
    Type: 32" LCD
    Date Bought: 10-01-2009
    Price: €499
    Bought From: Soundstore, Limerick
    Retailer Satisfaction: Very happy
    TV Satisfaction: Very Happy

    For my first TV purchase, I'm pretty happy with this. I left the house this morning with the intention of going for the Samsung LE32a456c in Curry's but the guy in Soundstore was really helpful and knowledgeable; that's the power of good staff. Plus, I came across one too many problem stories about Samsung. I'm pretty happy with the LG. It appears to be very user friendly, nice menu's with good customization (front panel operating light can be turned off, inputs can be named - but only to preset names). Not sure if the picture quality is that good; I blame crappy Chorus, their OSD is tacky at best. The one thing I needed in a TV was VGA connection which I'm very impressed with.

    Also picked up a Monstercable power-surge adaptor (not sure what the exact name is); also a nice piece of kit with built in antenna and satellite signal amplifiers. This wasn't in my original plan but I couldn't leave it behind.

    I didn't get a stand, though I could have taken one for half price. As I'm only renting I didn't think it was was to get something which may not suit me long term.

    Tried it. It's one thing advertising it at a seemingly good price, but what's the point when they don't have it in stock!

    For whatever reason, this particular set is hard to come by, even the Sony Centre sold me their last one in stock.

    Anyhow, when you factor in the 5 year warranty (~ €150-€200 worth) and the Blueray player (about €200), the prices aren't a million miles apart.

Very happy with the glass stand too. The tele itself is better than I thought it would be and overall I'm extremely happy.

    Fantastic TV. SD (Sky), DVD, HD (Sky HD) and BluRay is all beautiful and imaculate.

    Done a small bit of gaming and I can see phosphor trails when playing in a dark room but if I didn't know about them I doubt I would have spotted them

    TV Satisfaction: Very Happy (a few more tweaks and I'm sure I'll be even happier)

    Currently watching Batman Begins (upscaled to 1080P through my DVD recorder) and it looks awesome. Aint bought a BluRay player yet (was about to buy a PS3 up north Friday but decided against it); probably going to pick up a Samsung BDP-2500 instead. Sky SD also looks really well (also upscaled through the recorder). Only got a Wii connected for gaming but it looks fine through component.

    TV Satisfaction: Happy enough till last night - pic's not great with my free satellite receiver (Lidl), but it's connected by SCART, so I forgive it. Upscaled DVDs (Pioneer DV-410V, also RS Belfast) are great - can't complain at all. The feeling of being really impressed, though, came last night when I connected my new XBox 360 and ran through the intros of Dead Space, Mass Effect & Halo 3 - these look genuinely stunning. I was alone but was grinning like a fool. It seems this TV can really impress with the right source material.

    Very happy with RS. Collected my VSX-818, DV-410V & NSP-110 set in person and the guys were all decent and well humoured, despite not having stopped for lunch on the day I visited because of a delivery coming in. Delivery of the TV was great - I helped the driver unload the box - it was really well secured in the truck: upright (as it's supposed to be), and strapped up nice & tight.

    More stuff coming from RS soon. Well happy with both the TV & RS.
