Seems like a good deal, an quick internet check showed this at higher prices elsewhere, it is Full HD and has some sort of Internet feature (which I don't understand - so I've copied the info below from the listing). Also I'm not sure about the expiry date, so the one I have listed is just made up.

"The Sony 40 Inch FHD LCD TV KDL40CX520 has the new X-Reality™ picture engine for superior picture quality, as well as, state-of-the art Sony Internet TV features including BRAVIA Internet Video.

X-Reality™ Picture Engine
Sony's advanced image processing engine analyses each scene to give optimum colour and contrast.

Enjoy great pictures, no matter the source
Don't let your enjoyment be hampered by low-resolution source videos. With Sony's exclusive X-Reality Engine, everything you watch - from HD movies to web videos - is analysed and selectively processed to give clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. While 3 unique noise reduction features work their magic prior to upscaling, Sony's Intelligent Image Enhancer divides the signal into four characteristics - texture, outline, contrast, and colour - and optimises each one individually for more vivid and distinct pictures.

Skype™ Ready
Make calls to other Skype users or even regular telephone numbers, even as you watch your favourite shows.

Make free video calls over the Internet
Keep in touch with friends and family easily by making and receiving Internet voice and video calls*2 from your television. All you need is a compact microphone/camera to make free Skype-to-Skype calls and low-cost SkypeOut calls to regular telephone numbers.

Remote Keyboard
Connect your TV to your VAIO for seamless navigation.

Easy TV control and text input
Use your VAIO keyboard to control your television and input text quickly and conveniently.

Full HD 1080
See every pixel in stunning clarity with Full HD. Enjoy HD content the way they were meant to be seen. From HD broadcasts, HD satellite TV, HD cable, Blu-ray Disc™ movies, and HD home videos, you'll catch each and every pixel in stunning clarity."

      I think its free delivery on this model with or without paypal- but worth using it for the extra discount ;)

    Don't forget the $25 Christmas bonus discount code K24XDH863L and the $20 PayPal cashback offer http://dicksmith.com.au//offer/paypalcashback?FOLDER%3C%3Efo… which would bring it down to $504!

    • ywpn on 08/12/2011 - 12:27

      Thanks for those discount codes :)
      This would be sweet as a secondary TV for $504 :D

        The promos don't add together. Lowest I could get was $524 with the Christmas $25 discount.

        • cuongizzle on 08/12/2011 - 14:09

          I believe its $524 with Paypal providing $20 refund 28 days after promotion.

    • skatoz on 08/12/2011 - 13:03

      And moneybackco with 3.5% cashback will bring it below $500

    • AzzaD on 08/12/2011 - 16:02

      wow, thanks so much another $25 off a SAMSUNG 40" Full High Definition LED/LCD UA40D6000 I was buying today because of Woolies staff discount, brings it down to $856.80 with free delivery :D

        100Hz on the cheaper TV's look so much worse then 50Hz on good QTY brand name TV's FYI

    Having said that, i still might go check it instore and see for myself. Sounds like a fantastic tv, and a bargain at this price for a 40 incha

  • binks90 on 08/12/2011 - 13:41

    can someone please tell me how to get the moneyback co discount

  • gimme on 08/12/2011 - 14:00
    +3

    don't waste your time on moneybackco (or whatever they're called these days), use buckscoop instead

    • josephlee80 on 08/12/2011 - 17:40

      I have just registered a buckscoop account.

      Don't know if it is tracking properly… and once I pay (using paypal), what are the next steps? confused

      *edit: http://www.buckscoop.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=4549

      1. Cashback is not available when you purchase a gift certificate. Cashback is very often not available when you use a discount code with your purchase

      2. Please be aware that many merchants will not honour cashback when a purchase has been made using a discount code. Some codes result in the cashback being attributed to another site/merchant. We are unable to pay you Buckscoop cashback in these cases. When we know of such cases, we do let you know. However, please be aware that merchants policies do change without warning.

    Bing Lee is doing it for $499 via negotiate online if anyone wants instant gratification and don't want to wait for shipping. Their online price is $529 so you can try DSE or Harvie to price match/better it instore.

    • cuongizzle on 08/12/2011 - 14:26

      tried asking for $480? ahha

    • blaze on 08/12/2011 - 14:27

      I just came in here to say $529 (plus delivery is only $6 for me). Didnt know about the negotiate feature. Seems interesting!

    • orange123 on 08/12/2011 - 15:05

      Don't forget 5 % off when signing up to their newsletter.

      • blaze on 08/12/2011 - 15:38

        i just tried. you cant stack the 5% newsletter code on top of the other coupon code that the live help guy gives you when you negotiate.

        • AzzaD on 08/12/2011 - 16:17

          where's the live help I can't seem to find it

    Here's the Deal with DSE
    549 (minus 25 xmas bonus) (minus 20 Paypal bonus) minus (3% buckscoop approx 15) = $489 DELIVERED. Pretty good value imo

    Get the EX520 @698.

    • Alzori on 08/12/2011 - 17:14

      This AN ex520 (ex520 is a series of tvs). Do you mean the 46" from the same series? If so link please :)

      • Paradox on 08/12/2011 - 19:57

        Ditto. Just about the buy the 46"…anyone know if I could get it for under $750?

      • terrywang on 08/12/2011 - 21:59

        KDL-40EX520

    10% off for those with Woolworths discount cards too :D

    • josephlee80 on 08/12/2011 - 17:39

      Just be aware that if you pay the entire amount with Wish gift card, you won't be able to take advantage of the PayPal bonus.

      The wise choice is to use gift card to pay the amount down to $200, and pay the rest with PayPal!

  • frewer on 08/12/2011 - 18:06

    Any one know a good 6 stars TV ? i just getting an idea. thanks

  • yada on 08/12/2011 - 19:19

    TVs are certainly much cheaper than 2 years ago. Bought a similar-ish thing for $1400. KDL40v5500.

    • Paradox on 08/12/2011 - 20:35

      Back during 2005 or so, I bought a 50" Pioneer Plasma for $8000 on special…orginally RRP of $10,000.

      Baffled at the dirt cheap prices of TVs nowadays.

    I managed to grab one at Binglee for $449 + $6.73 shipping

    http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4913/binglee.jpg

    I bought the 32" from the previous deal, so now i will have to return it to JB hifi =(

    Hope this helps others somehow.

  • binks90 on 08/12/2011 - 21:56

    that's amazing vooz! was that through the negotiate online deal?

  • binks90 on 08/12/2011 - 22:06

    i just tried and he refused to go lower than $470 =(

  • Pylgrim on 08/12/2011 - 23:15

    Oh noo

    Now I regret purchasing the non-full HD 50" plasma for $499 last week :( This is so much better (besides the size,) and cheaper on top of it!

  • tyler.durden on 09/12/2011 - 01:43

    this video
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuvoL54t8EY

    says 100hz better for gaming
    will give a slightly clearer picture

    also with 100hz u get more option
    u can watch/game at 100hz or 50hz etc

    with this, no option

    any thoughts or comments?

    • tryonthis on 09/12/2011 - 18:21

      Gaming is more than fine at 50hz.
      Anything more than 100hz and many people seem to get motion sickness/can't stand the effect it gives.

  • cdeep0 on 09/12/2011 - 12:25

    My goodness…I paid over 900 few months ago from JB……Silly me!

  • martian_rob on 10/12/2011 - 19:44

    Thanks for tipping us off on this deal - great price. I went in to Dickies today to check out the picture. They had the test match running on it so perfect to check out broadcast tv quality. It was an aweful picture and unwatchable for me, poor on motion and very blocky around silouette of the cricketers.
    Once again thanks for the tip, the price is good for a Sony, maybe ok for the kids as a rumpus tv only.

    • thxsmileys on 12/12/2011 - 23:09

      That is an unfair analysis of the picture quality of the TV. TV broadcast quality is low already. You should not judge the bargain based on a low quality source. I doubt you will find a TV at this price or more that will actually make the picture better.
