$100 cheaper than yesterday's deal on the G8. Both G8 and G9 prices look like ATLs from a quick OzB deal search, first time the G9 has dipped below $2k? Probably our version of some of the cheap prices in the US getting posted on Reddit threads etc
Even cheaper if you can get through a partner portal - eg with a Westpac Rewards credit card (in wallet of every OzB for Shopback, surely?) the G8 is $1234 and the G9 $1899, and then it seems if you pay with Westpac's new PartPay system (see those instructions to add to your existing card through the app), you get another $100 off = $1134 and $1799 respectively ….. happy dayzzz….
Only proviso is you'll probably (?) be unreasonably waiting for delivery - YMMV, but seems there're plenty of reports of people ordering from Samsung AU site and then having to pester for months to chase….
Also note that unlike Alienware's 3yrs on its OLED monitors, Samsung has express no burn-in warranty. (FWIW - I tried via Dell chat to get the $1299 price beat on the AW3423DWF - no dice, only would give the 7% corporate discount)
EDIT 17/11 - G8 seems to be coming in and out of stock. so you might get lucky. Website price gone up to $1399 - but ppl are managing to get better prices through 10% app discount, education and partner portals etc.
How does partpay give 100$ off?
