When are we likely to see some cheap TV deals next?

Hi all,

I'm in the market of buying a new 65 inch TV.
I've got my eyes set on either Samsung Nu8000w or nu8500w (same model just curved screen) or a Sony X90f.

Historically I've seen the cheapest prices for the nu8000W at around $1950 delivered and around $2400ish or so for the X90f.

I'm actually kicking myself because I bought the 65" nu8500w for $2000 delivered with videopro ebay but had cold feet and pulled out.

I'm wondering when I could be expecting to see some decent deals again?

Most likely black saturday?

I know videopro ebay is very cheap when their sales are on however I'd rather go through JB incase I have issues with the TV and need help with warranty.

Cheers.

    It's been around mid November the past 2 years.

      Yeah that's what I was thinking…
      I want to pull the trigger now but I should just wait.

    Good Guys has 20% ebay code at the moment. P20TGGS

      True but still not amazing prices.
      The Tv i'm after nu8000 is $2230 with the 20% off.
      The tv was going for $1950 about a month and a half ago.

        Price rise may be a reflection of the Aussie dollar exchange rate?

        Hey it looks like it's down to 1800ish until tomorrow… I'm eyeing it up but would be quite impulsive to me. Is it a good deal?

        Thought I'd give you a nudge incase you hadn't seen this deal.

        Edit: Just noticed you posted the deal!! Haha

    It's better to deal with the manufacturer than jbhifi for warranty purposes. It just seems so much easier. If you find it cheaper through a different retailer don't worry.

    Make sure its au stock if purchasing electronics online.

    • defro on 11/10/2018 - 12:55

      Do you have any past experience with this?
      I was thinking that but I have heard about difficult experiences with dealing with the manufacturer directly.

        Yeah with a computer monitor, dishwasher and washing machine, all under warranty. They just remind you it's not a defect caused by yourself otherwise you have to pay for the fee (callout).

        I dropped off monitor nearby to be fixed.

        Dishwasher was repaired twice then failed again, replaced with newer model.(purchased from appliances online)

        Washing machine was repaired at my home. (purchased from Bing Lee)

        All through manufacturer. Try your luck with the store. It's a TV so they may not send a technician out, they may say to return it to store.

          Thanks for the info.
          Gives me more peace of mind to go through Ebay.
          This was the main reason I didn't buy the tv before.

            @defro: Majority of this site is through online/ebay.

            Also good to pay with PayPal if you have delivery problems.

    yesterday Kogan had a sa;e woth 55" Smart HDR 4K TV $399 (not including delivery)

    • defro on 11/10/2018 - 13:46

      Thanks for the suggestion.
      I'm looking at getting something more mid/higher end.
      I was actually looking at the ultra wide 1440p kogan monitors before.
      Pretty crazy prices.

        Check out the Kogan 1440 144hz 27” pre sale
