wow… this is really cheap. I’ve been looking to get a 32” but since this 37” is pretty cheap I might get this one. $900 for a Sony 37” LCD is pretty good I reckon.

yeah even has a bulit in HD tuner which is suprising.

Kmart are not a registered delear of sony, so the $100 cash back is not valid

Is there a list of who is a registered dealer ?

I always thought that clause was put into any cashback offer so that it stops you from buying off the back of a truck and still claiming a cashback.

is this available in all K-Marts nation wide?

Cool!!! But where did you get that Ad? i couldn’t find it in Kmart’s website though…@@

yeh, where did you get the ad? lol. spill!

Next catalogue, so won’t be on the website until Wednesday night/Thursday morning

heads up the catalogue is now online:

Forget about Harvey Norman, their so call price guarantee requires you to purchase the item from another store, then purchase the same item from HN for the difference in price for discount, you end up with 2 exact items meaning you will have to refund the initial purchase say here from Kmart. It’s a fraud system!!

Wow i want one! Hmm now what to do with the almost new, perfectly good 32inch LCD sitting in my loungeroom?

Hmm…. Maybe I can distract the wife with the 50% off sheets, blankets and other home items while I run the Sony TV thru the checkouts early thursday morning ;)

It looks like it might be avaliable now, a mate told me he saw it in Store already for $999 (Garden City WA).

actually they have been on display and available for purchase in some stores since before the last long weekend (about 1.5 weeks) ago. i got one already but i just need to pick it up

can you tell us a bit about how the pciture looks on it ?

hard to say because i havent been been able to display any HD content on it, so far its been playing DVDs off this piss poor dvd player hooked up to it…….however it did look pretty good still. i should be able to report back after i pick it up (car is in the shop atm). one of my friends have been trying to find one of these and it seems that many stores are already out of stock (side effect for having it on display before a sale)

“so are you able to claim the cash back from Sony even if you bought it from k-mart?”

Yes, I rang Sony Promo’s on 1800 181 777 and they confirmed that K-Mart is an approved dealer for puroposes of the cashback.

Wait, so some people have already bought these? I went to Kmart Greensborough, Northcote and Preston today and each time was told that there’s no way they’ll sell it before Thursday.

Does anybody know where I can get one today (or tomorrow) in Melbourne? I don’t want to miss out on it.

those who have seen this in stock can you please post here which kamrt it was.

I have heard that Kmart Garden City WA has them on display and ticketed at $999

Also have many people been going to JBhifi in Melvile to get a price match cause bloke over there says he been getting requests all day about this deal but has no stock to sell :)

Page 37 of the harvey catalouge have this item for sale as well but they are $1299 after cash back.

Whoa…has anybody seen this ebay sale.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HOW-TO-GET-NEW-SONY-BRAVIA-37-LCD-TV-...

its a copy and paste job of the deal i posted, somone put it on eBay selling the info on how to get this deal. No body bought it though!

Who ever put up for sale didnt even bother to change the words or headings, even put in the **.

has anybody been able to find reviews of this tv ?

Hmmm. This or a Dell 27” monitor. BIG choice to make.

I need a TV for the bedroom but would like to sit back and view computer on large screen as well. 37” for the bedroom might be too big for a computer display.

Might get this to replace 3+ year old plasma in living room.

I just bought one from Campbellfield, VIC. They have 21 left.

It’s amazing how much bigger TVs look at home than in the store - I don’t think I would want any bigger than 37”.

how does the picture look ?

how does sport look on it ?

Question…how can you get $100 cashback if you purchase the TV from kmart for $999?

Picked mine up Tuesday evening, so 2 nights with it now. It’s a terrific TV, and it’s either Sony or Pioneer at the top of the list for LCD panels so you know your doing well. Motion is no problem, both sports and movies. I sit 2.2m from the TV and the HD free-to-air is nothing short of magic. 37” is teh perfect size too, I certainly wouldn’t larger for my distance from the TV - and I’d even be happy to be up to 3m from it to still be in optimum viewing distance too. Hooked it up to the DVD player by composite connections, and the colour range and clarity is terrific. Batman Returns was teh DVD I played, and it was like seeing a brand new movie with this TV. Motion during the actions scenes was no different to a CRT for me - in other words completely acceptable. If your thinking about it - just buy it, you’ll be very happy! And if your in metro Melbourne - Southland was already sold out on Tuesday, but nearby Keysborough store still had about 7 left.

Oh, and I just completed the Sony website cashback registration/claim, and authorized dealer is by search and match to what they have on record. K-Mart stores were recognized and the cashback accepted fine - now I just have to mail in the paperwork :)

Bummer about Southland. I live 1 street away. Will think about Keysborough though.

Hi, I did a search around some Brisbane stores today but everyone had sold out this morning. Some are taking rainchecks on it, so I eventually found a store that gave me one. They are only offerinng 4-5 at each store. I was just wondering if someone could explain the HD set up on this in layman’s terms. For instance what does this mean?

Not True HD 1080P but still for the price pretty good

Thanks.

1080p is the resolution—which equates to 1,920x1,080 pixels. 1080p monitors are, in theory,capable of displaying every pixel of the highest-resolution HD broadcasts and should offer more than twice the resolution of 1,280x720, or 720p, HDTVs. So, these are called true HD or full/ultra HD . Also, 1080p is theoretically better than 1080i despite an identical 1,920x1,080 resolution, in i, interlacing takes place- half the resolution appear on your screen first, followed by other half within 30ms. Progressive-scan display all of the lines of resolution sequentially in a single pass, and give a smoother, cleaner image. This TV is a very good value for money, and all broadcasts currently are max 1080i. Of course I have a Sony KDL46X3100 46” X Series Full HD Bravia LCD TV, which with the Toshiba HD DVD player, makes watching movies a real new experience at 1080p! Humm… did I mention the home theatre system! (I know I am being a silly SOB!! Chill out guys- and enjoy your new TV!!!)

BTW, if you buy a selected Sony Home Theatre along with a Bravia , you get another 100 AUD off the same!!!

Found this on eBay
Someone willing to pay $1200 for it. So who have the spare cash buying it & put profit back to OzBargain :)

This lcd tv is also tax dedutable if you are doing computer related job since it can work as a LCD monitor. Enjoy!

thats if your comfortable in telling the ATO that your Sony 37inch Hif-Def Flat Screen LCD TV is a “necessary” expense in gaining your income or at least you dedcucted it in proportion to the amount of work you do with it in line with your job.

Be funny if you get audited and the ATO asks what this $899 “other work expense” deduction is and you point to your home theater :D !!!

Well, that’s if they go to your house and inspect it. That’s very unlikely.

looks like all kmart stores in WA have sold out, they all had ony 5 in stock

lol, just saw an advertisement in the Herald Sun with the title ‘Apologies’ with something along the lines of due to unprecedented demand, K-mart may not be able to supply the Sony BRAVIA 37” TV for $999.

all sold out unfortunately in all kmart stores around my area… =(

I know the answer is proably no, but if we were given a raincheck for one of these does it mean we will get one, or more than likely not?

I got a call from K Mart Shop at Home Richmond VIC. They informed me that the item pretty much sold out in 30 minutes. I just wanted to let them know I was interested in buying one. Maybe they’ll be back due to HIGH demand.

they will not be back again as they are now EOL, now replaced by the S4000 series. these were also planned for a catalogue a few weeks from now, it will now be removed, as the stock reserved for the future catalogue was moved up for ppl who were buying from the current catalogue (ie, rainchecks). for those who already secured their panels or rainchecks, thats the last of them

i just picked up mine today, tested it by playing 720p and 1080p vids off a notebook, quality looks surprisingly good

Hopefully they have enough to satisfy the raincheck I received from my local store. Kmart are not always that good with getting in stock to cover a raincheck, but since that was the only option I’ll see what happens.

Just out of curiousity, just in case the raincheck does come through, can someone tell me what the box size is roughly. Just so I can work out if it will fit in my car, or if I will need to get another car to pick it up. Ta.

LOL…I knew it would be a mistake to post this deal up online before I bought one of these TV’s !! Doh!! :(

Oh well I wasnt able to come up with the cash till the weekend anyway which meant I would have missed out.

I think I better start saving up a seperate kitty for times like these, forget the emergency health money I need “emergency bargin money”!!!.

All those who havent voted, want to give me a vote to kick start my emergency fund as I could get the popular deal of the week comp :)

Box size is 32cm wide x 80cm high x 102cm wide.

Just called a custom rep. He told me it’s current sold out in Australia… Well. you can still put an order on Kmart on line store. But not guarantee got a stock for ya… http://kmart.com.au/onlineshop/order_step2.asp

Anyone know if this is avaiable in Tasmania?
