The gentleman is correct. I bought a 40" sony mid nov just before the floods hit and it was around 1k (Got it down to 900 if i remember correctly). Good deal for a 55"
I've got one of these. Very happy with it.
Pretty good price for a Sony 55inch
Nice.
I'm not familiar with SONY's range. Is EX series the "value" line?
Yep. It's a CCFL LCD.
Still, it has a lot of useful features like IPTV (7, SBS, iView) and DLNA support. I steam media from my NAS and watch the occasional iView program with it.
Disregard what I said about built in IPTV and DLNA support.
I was mixing up my EX500 up with my EX720.
I've got my EX500 set up with a Sony S370 blu-ray player which gives it all the IPTV and DLNA support. It isn't built into the TV. The EX500 is just a dumb TV (which isn't a bad thing).
On the other hand, my EX720 has all that stuff built in.
Sorry for any confusion caused.
I still think it's great value for money though. If I needed another 55", I'd buy one.
partly right. The EX500 and below are CCFL LCD
The EX600,720 and above are LED LCD. Also there is a difference between the refresh rate ie 600 has 50Hz and 500 has 100Hz.
Note LED LCD has a bit of light spilling from the edges which might be annoying to some, but totally fine to others. Always compare the tv live before buying it
Jb hifi just priced matched it
saved me a costco sign up fee for this tv. cheers
Good Deal! Good Guys Browns Plains had on sale too for $1188. Gave me it for $1150 when I purchased and extra 2 yr warranty so I'm happy with that.
EX500 series is 2010 because I have the EX600. Good price for 55" screen as this was the street price for the 40" in November last year
