EDIT: Sale prices are being gotten by people in store now. Head in to a store :)

10:20am 10-Nov: Even though the sale said "Online Exclusive Offer Ends 14-Nov-10", the Dick Smith website has just been updated so these prices no longer apply :(

These are the prices the site is showing now :(

KDL40HX800 $1792 (eligible for Sony 3D Entertainment pack)

For anyone wanting to give it a shot, I rang up to ask if I could get the Online Offer price and they put the order through over the phone for me (I just told them the website kept giving me the Page Could Not Be Found error and that I wanted to get the sale through online for their online only price).

Online Customer Service Team:

For anyone that wants to try price matching until 14th, I managed to print these off yesterday.

    still remember I bought a Sony 40 Full HD LCD this time last year for $1600 :(

    • No Child Support on 09/11/2010 - 17:48

      You think you got it bad? My Sony 32" was $1600 2.5yrs ago

      • bragains on 09/11/2010 - 17:52

        40" for $2800…. Now that is bad :( .. it was 3 years ago.

      • rendezvous on 09/11/2010 - 20:42

        Thats probably because it was made in japan. The newer batches are made in countries with cheap labour eg Malaysia

        • Trance N Dance on 09/11/2010 - 20:55

          serious? I thought all Sony TVs were made in Japan…. I guess my info is old….

        • Windows7forever on 10/11/2010 - 06:52

          I thought it was due to LCD panels becoming more ubiquitous and technology maturing, hence the global price drops. This should happen to 3D and LED technologies in the coming years.

      • gerrys on 11/11/2010 - 19:21

        Bought my Sony 32" was $2200 3 yrs ago from Rickhart and that was not even HD 1080p. And yes, mine is Made In Japan.

    • dirtyhen on 09/11/2010 - 18:42

      Luckily I got a PS3 as a promotion :P

  • Trance N Dance on 09/11/2010 - 17:08

    55" 1.6k is that right?
    damn i remember payinh twice that for a 46" two years ago….

    • unco on 09/11/2010 - 17:13

      Yeah I was looking for a tv around $1200 and first looked at the 40".
      Then I saw this sale and realised I can get a 46" with my budget.. but that 55" price is tempting me too much!
      I'm going to make a purchase on Friday so I've got a couple of days to listen to the angel and devil either side of my head.

      • Trance N Dance on 09/11/2010 - 20:09

        GO GO GO GO!!!!
        55"!!!! :P

      • Baldrik on 09/11/2010 - 21:09

        Could they be out of stock by then? :P

    • ryang on 09/11/2010 - 17:14

      Sucks hey? I spent about the same for a 50" 6 months ago!

      • portmac on 09/11/2010 - 18:25

        Me too…..52" cost me 3K 12 months ago :(

        I'm almost tempted to NEG this based on how depressing these prices are for current Sony owners!

    Bought KDL40NX700 6 months ago for $2600, wtf was I on!? But did get a Ps3 slim out of it.
    Still it's a sweet tv :@

  • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2010 - 17:25

    I'm guessing that the 5% staff discount can also be applied to this as well? (By replacing the QFF number section with staff number instead).
    Or have they changed it since they moved over to the new dicksmith domain?

    Might have to convince friend for their number if that's the case…

  • jv on 09/11/2010 - 17:29

    i spent $3K on an 80cm CRT about 8 years ago :(

      I presume you mean 80inch

      • StewBalls on 10/11/2010 - 02:42

        It's not the size of your CRT that matters Bigglez, it's how you use it! :p

    • Strikingviking on 11/11/2010 - 09:27

      haha i did the same 5 years ago 76 cm for 2.4k weighs a measly 74 kg and no one even wanst to steal it

  • vid_ghost on 09/11/2010 - 17:36

    I spent $3700 on a Samsung LA55B650 2 years ago from jb-hifi on a 15% off sale….

    55" LCD Full HD TV's have come down HEAPS!!! :(

  • neosin on 09/11/2010 - 17:46

    TV prices fall about half every yr lol!

    Rule is never buy top of range TV because next yr it will be redundant!

    • kimmik on 09/11/2010 - 17:59
      +1

      very true. i would aim for mid range, or one gen old models at a basement price, unless the current gen high end is super cheap.

      next year, 3D led 55" will be $1600

      • Elecmuso on 09/11/2010 - 19:14

        Totally agree - always buy the last off the line. I bought the last of the 76cm CRT TVs 6 years ago for $600 when my friends were paying $3000 for a basic and only slightly larger plasma. IMO that TV has a better picture (especially contrast-wise) than my Mum's Sony 80cm 3 month old LCD. Last week I bought a 50" Samsung plasma for under $700, delivered! The trick is not to believe the hype until the technology has matured.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2010 - 05:21
          -3

          I agree. I bought an 80cm Loewe crt tv on ebay for $150 and couldn't be happier with the picture. The colours are just amazing. I'm still not convinced about the new tvs. I must admit I haven't spent a great deal of time looking in the stores, but the large tv in the Crown Metropol hotel where I stayed last week had horrible depth of field, and the movement of people on screen appeared to be almost robotic, or 'CG'. I'm quite happy to keep my crt and watch my $3000 grow at 7% compound. Roll on the negs from people defending their $3000 'investments'…..

        • ozhunter on 10/11/2010 - 05:51

          @TonyP

          couldn’t be happier with the picture.

          Have you ever seen an lcd/led/plasma tv?

          I'm not the one who negged you btw.

        • Windows7forever on 10/11/2010 - 06:55

          tony - it is 2010.

          Tony - Check to see if your TV is on the recall list. That brand has issues with spontaneous combustion.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2010 - 15:29

          Reply to Rod71 - I just checked and my 'beautiful picture' crt is on the recall list. I'd rather be eating humble pie than putting out a housefire, or worse, so thank you for the information on the recall. It looks like I'm off to join the masses at a large retailer this weekend and buy a large screen tv.

        • schwinn on 10/11/2010 - 20:18

          Tony depending on where you are you should be heading down to the JB Hifi 15% off tv sale tonight. Tonight only. Of course don't forget to reference these Sony prices on DSE!

          Good on you Rod for pointing out. I almost thought it was a joke!

  • udyz on 09/11/2010 - 17:59

    Might save ~$300(ie $50 less than Dick Smith) off KDL40HX800 if you buy it from JB hifi on 10th nov 2010 after 6pm.

  • Chris McMahon on 09/11/2010 - 18:00

    KDL55EX500 - 55” FullHD 100Hz LCD - $1599.20

    $1600 for a 55"EX500, with free delivery, is a pretty good price.

    • Chris McMahon on 10/11/2010 - 20:27

      I tried to order the 55"EX500 today, but as others pointed out, it's gone up.

      So went to JB HiFi tonight to see if I could get a price match during the 15% off sale. I had a printout from DSE with the 55"EX500 for $1600 delivered.

      Best JB could do was $1700 delivered.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/11/2010 - 18:09

    I have a Dick Smith TV 180$ 5 years ago, does the job.

        intdeed but now its time to jump :) or maybe a the start of next year when the aussie dollar starts to have a BIGGER effect on NEW stock!

  • striker999 on 09/11/2010 - 19:18

    Not to mention free delivery too!
    omgggg

    • unco on 09/11/2010 - 19:49

      I'm pretty sure the free delivery doesn't apply, it doesn't have the free delivery sticker on it, only the HOT sticker.

      • Chris McMahon on 09/11/2010 - 19:54

        Did you actually go to the site and enter your postcode for a delivery estimate? I did. It was free - "Delivery Charge $0.00"

        • unco on 09/11/2010 - 20:20

          Oh cool, nah I didn't try that yet, I was just going by the info it had when you click to read the terms of free delivery.

          Even better! :D

      • Baldrik on 09/11/2010 - 21:08

        It does. I just bought the KDL32EX500 a few minutes ago, free delivery but only the hot sticker on the deal.

  • striker999 on 09/11/2010 - 19:54

    Really unco?
    I went to checkout typed in my address etc. and when it got to payment screen it said free delivery $0.00
    so i was assuming that meant $0 delivery fee? haha

  • Untameable on 09/11/2010 - 20:29

    Do they measure LCD TVs and LCD PC screens the same now, diagonally? Or is it still different?

    • Trance N Dance on 09/11/2010 - 20:58

      It's always been like that. All monitors/Tvs are measured by their diagonal length.

  • Baldrik on 09/11/2010 - 20:58

    A lot of these TV's include free delivery, the KDL32EX500 at $639 is a steal, HN were selling it for $845 as a "last one" special and the cheapest net search has been $747!!!!!!!!!!

  • stumo on 09/11/2010 - 21:03

    I'm finding it hard to resist that 55" of glorious LCD.

    So is that KDL55EX500 - 55” for $1599 shipped is well cheap yeah? I don't wanna buy it and have someone come on here saying oh its $200 cheaper at so and so.

    • StewBalls on 10/11/2010 - 02:47

      I've not seen cheaper! ;)

      That's amazing! Where did you get that? I bought a 50" Plasma PS50B850 Samsung for $1500 6 months back.

      • newington07 on 10/11/2010 - 08:28

        It was end of financial year sale (or probably they wanted to get rid of old models). Got in June. Mine is same series but B550.

  • jobski on 09/11/2010 - 22:10

    will the ps3 come with 3.41? :D

  • esq on 09/11/2010 - 22:21

    Great prices. With the aussie dollar on a bull run I can only foresee these getting even cheaper, particularly after christmas.

    • stumo on 09/11/2010 - 22:51

      I think you're right, I've waited this long to upgrade (got a 37" Toshiba LCD for $2600 back in '06), so holding out for a few more months isn't going to matter much to me.

      I'm definitely going for at least 46" LCD next, and I couldn't care less about 3D or edge lit LED, so that should play right into my hands niceley, mwuahahahahah.

  • wxwsf on 09/11/2010 - 23:41

    I just got it on 22/10/2010, sony EX500 40' for $999, and I got refund for matching price JB HI-FI on 30/10/3010, now it just $ 799, am I able get matching price again?

  • ranma on 10/11/2010 - 04:14

    Damn it, so do I get this or not? I'm eye-ing the 55" one.. I'm not in the market for 3d, led, or all that stuff.. I currently have a non-full-hd 40" Samsung, and all I want is full hd, some form of motionflow, and a bigger screen.. I can totally dig the 46", but at this price, why not go overboard for the 55"? But my real question is, will there be a guarantee that these will fall even further after Christmas? Would I be best to wait, (also considering these are Sony's.. what's the warranty on this, actually?) or might this be kind of as good as it gets? Thoughts?

    • harthagan on 10/11/2010 - 05:51

      Well it will be a long time before you can get it for significantly less!
      $1599 with free delivery is an AMAZING price. Consider that at JBHiFi even with their 15% off sale the cheapest you will get it for is $1700 plus delivery charge of $70. I think it's safe to say that this is 1 deal which won't be bettered this year and if it is well it won't be by much! I'd hop aboard the train and don't look back :)

  • quanyeomans on 10/11/2010 - 05:45

    I called my local store (Erina) about this deal and they said that it's also available in their "Large Stores" (the old Powerhouse stores I think). So my plan is to go in and eyeball the different sizes so i can figure out whether to get the 55" or just the 46". I'm only going to be sitting about 3m from the TV so 55 might be total overkill.

  • harthagan on 10/11/2010 - 05:55

    I just purchased the LG 50PK550 a few days ago from Binglee for $1100 and will get a free 22" LCD as part of the promotion that I will probably sell for $200 or something. I'm stoked with the deal I got but part of me wishes I could have gotten the 55" Sony at this price… and extra 5" is always handy :)

    • krum on 10/11/2010 - 14:57

      thats what she said

  • schwinn on 10/11/2010 - 08:26

    i'm pretty sure the EX600 TV's are 50 Hz… Unless you take into account their technology for multiplying the frequency.

  • ThePump on 10/11/2010 - 09:34

    The KDL55EX500 - 55” FullHD 100Hz LCD - $1599.20 is a bargain.

  • unco on 10/11/2010 - 09:36

    Nooo! I've finally decided which one to buy and when I click Add To Cart, it gives a Page Not Found error.
    It was working last night when I added it to the cart :(
    Anyone else getting the same issue?

  • ThePump on 10/11/2010 - 09:49

    • unco on 10/11/2010 - 10:04

      You're right, I opened the page up in another browser and it's showing the standard prices now.

    Calling up the store to see what happened now.

    • schwinn on 10/11/2010 - 10:29

      Just called up DSE Norwood SA which was stocked up for the KDL40EX600 and they said they couldn't honour yesterday's price! Not happy! Especially with the sudden removal of the notice! Will be calling this online customer service team.

        Yesterday I printed out the Dick Smith online page for the 46EX500, 40EX600 and 55EX500.
        I can scan these if anyone wants a copy to try and get places to price match.
        The printed ad shows that it's valid until 14th November.

        My friend who works in the TV section in JB Hifi Doncaster (VIC) said that they generally will price match without hopping on the website to double check, especially if the date is written there.
        I guess you gotta try to know though!

        Spoke to Rebecca, she spoke to her supervisor and I'll be getting a call later this arvo to collect payment details! $999 on the KDL40EX600!

        And to confirm, yes it IS a 50Hz TV, not as the description above writes!

    Wow that is so dodgy, the prices were good, but not extrordinary.

    I mean even I decided to hold off until after xmas than get the 55" now. They will be falling over themselves to get rid of stock early next year, and I will be remembering this DSE you dodgy pricks.

  • StewBalls on 10/11/2010 - 11:06

    If the sale was supposed to go until the 14/11, and they still have stock but they've upped the price on the 11/11, I'd be calling FT & the ACCC if they won't honour the sale price! ;)

    They have a "Sony 46" NX710 3D BRAVIA LED TV" for $2299. This is eligible for the PS3 3D pack too. Cheapest I can find is well over 2.5k. Hmmm.

    By the time you add the value of the PS3 etc, this is quite a good deal for a TV with all the latest features no?

    Guys, this sale is listed on their Facebook page as available in "Larger Full Range Stores" this weekend. If you ant to save yourself the hassle then just go into store and pick one up. My local (Erina) has heaps in stock and are happily holding a 55" for me until i can get in Thursday night to pick it up.

    I just called the customer service number and the lady who picked up said she knew about the 'update'. She said that there was a fault in the system, and she was taking the details of anyone interested in the special online prices. The details would get passed on to the supervisor and then he/she will contact the buyers.

    I made an order for the 40" Sony for $799. Hope it turns out well!

    Dick Smith being really dodgy again after the Wii remote debacle.

    KDL40EX500 - 40” FullHD 100Hz LCD - $799.

    Yesterday it was $799 save $159 , which makes the original price $958 without their promotion discount???????? It's now $1199????????? So they increased the pricing beyond the 'original price'?

    From past experience I'm sure they'll deny this and probably say it's easy for us to 'create' printouts of the deals that we have.

      If you check the post above yours they seem to be honoring it. The EX500 is the only one this seems to have happened for, and we'll never know whether it was a misprint but at least they're honouring the prices.

    Just purchased the KDL40EX600 from the Murray St, Perth store at $999. The guy there said it was well below cost..
    Great success!

      that's what they all say… :)

  • scheps on 10/11/2010 - 16:52

    Likewise, going to hold out till after xmas. the prices should be better by then. But this is a hell of a deal for those who need one now.

    yeee haaa

    Purchased the KDL50EX500 at Dick Smith's in Innaloo, WA. If you look at the stores, you might still be able to get them from today til Sunday, but only the bigger ones.. this one had already sold out, but the guy told me he'd get one shipped from Rockingham, which was brand new and sealed. I also got the additional 4 yrs warranty for 200 more, hell I figure I'll be happy with this tv anyway for the next 5 years, so might as well make sure it's covered.

    • ranma on 11/11/2010 - 01:17

      Oops I mean the KDL55EX500.. for $1599.20.

  • NXIETY on 11/11/2010 - 01:32

    Just got Clive Peters To price match the KDL32EX500 got it for $640 very happy as they had it on "special" for $850 there :) theres no chance it will go cheaper than $640 Christmas special time and boxing day they will be all sold out. if you can get these special dick smith prices i would get it now Trust me Christmas specials/boxing day isnt going to be big this year for electricals a birdie on my shoulder told me next year is going to be insane though :) but of course i could be talking porky pies believe me or not your choice! Sony is after all #1 for quality TV's youd be mad not to buy these at this price..

    P.S dick smith got alot of complaints from other stores thats why they removed the prices.. these prices are insanely low.
