JB online says save $300
Here is a link to the Samsung site specs - http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/tv-audio-video/television…
Other retailers: Harvey's $1786, Good Guys $1787, Bing Lee $1779. Again, all retailers are in clearout mode, so they'll wanting to clear stock, so should be able to get cheaper.
We recently [two days ago] bought the 50inch F6400 from Costco for a little under $1000 once factoring in multiple cashbacks via ING Paywave. Very nice tv but shame about the limited DLNA and absent SMB support :(
Limited DLNA? Use Plex for media streaming!
Yeah, most TV interfaces aren't the best. At the moment, external boxes are the best way to stream stuff. Well from what I've seen anyway.
thanks just bought 1
How much streaming do you want.. I have this TV and it streams from my computer once I loaded all share on it.. It streams from the drive attached to my modem..
That is a bit of streaming and my friend was streaming from his Galaxy S4 phone to my TV to watch a show called Talkibg Dead which follows The Walking Dead show
The issue isn't that it can't stream to the TV, but the lack of control when streaming from a media server. You can't pause, fwd, rwd, skip to a certain time. You have to watch it from start to finish.
Only way around this is using USB or use a samsung phone or tab to mirror/share to the TV, which gives you control of the content. Or using other apps like Plex.
Negotiated further and just bought 1 for $1611.
I bought one 2 weeks ago from The Good Guys. Their ad price was $1,787 but they have guarantee price match with further 5% as their policy. I found that "appliance central" has them for $1,619 so asked for price match. They did! I also took advantage of "The Block" cash back promo, eligible for $200 cash back making the price down to $1,416. Further negotiated for warranty (extending it in total for 3years), final price paid was $1,750 (excluding cashback) which adds up to $1,550 including the cashback.
<One condition, the supplier MUST have stock and the good guys MUST have stock> I drove in to about 3-4 places to find stock!
Yep - still $1619 at Appliance Central, good find - http://appliancecentral.com.au/shop/index.php?route=product/…
And free shipping to selected cities only, but depending on where you are it could be still cheaper with delivery than the $1696 JB price.
you paid $334 for 2 years warranty? WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!!
ah the great warranty scam. all goods are supposed to last for the purpose intended, no matter what the warranty says. recently they said that for TV's this is about 5 years.
Plz recalculate……
$1,416 after cash back.
Overall total after cash back but also including warranty $1,550.
Therefore the price of warranty is $132 which was also negotiable down from $150 or so dollars!
2 years more warranty for $132 is reasonable IMO.
My previous samsung led tv died on me in its 18mths of use. So played it safe this time.
BTW love the colour, clarity and price!
Sorry, I meant $134…. still $134 too much. TV is expected to last easily 3 years so under consumer law you would get this replaced/fixed for free anyway.
Saw this Good Guys Promo… it was really good with their lower price + the $200 cash back. and price guarantee made it even better. all this 1 month after I already bought my TV. Arrrggghhhh…
so all I have to look forward to is JB hifi dropping its price as much as possible, and put in a claim with my 28 degrees mastercard for the price difference.
Thanks for posting. Now I can claim the price difference from my credit card, since I bought this TV from JB in Jan for $100 more.
