Geez, they really do a mean markup.... hey CIS... now that you know the retail price maybe you can throw in a case of beers and free "kuier" for the world cup... me and my mates live close enough to you.

From what i've heard of plasma, it basicall the same as LCD, if not a bit brighter. Does lose contrast after about 5 years. Do a search on Google on LCD vs Plasma. There was also a great article on Wikipedia.

Naah , not quite - BIG difference actually !!!!! Res / Contrast / type of display etc etc. Everybody is very cagey 'bout recommending the one or the other - sounds like it's very much a personal choice. I'm still in two minds - reading and checking threads and actual feedback from people is sort of forming my oppinion at this stage....... :D

Whahahhaha - I'm not a serious soccer fan but the beers and a kuier sounds more like the way.............. I see there's a Durbanville Computers supplier on either the Esquire site or the Proline site - what are the chances of that being you ???? :D :D :D
 
None at all. I'm only a dealer to avoid being ripped off by retail. I supply at cost to everyone and only charge for any actual effort I make. Besides that, I will NEVER sell esquire products again.

I read you comment on that a bit earlier - Esquire being thieves.:D . I usually do the same through my brother but he's not a pinnacle dealer. Sahara / Rectron / Light Edge etc etc. What's the warranty like on the Proline products ???? Are they full of **** ??? :rolleyes:

It's an entry level set for sure. Probably a Gateway, rebranded as a Jean (both from Taiwan) Reviews have not really been favorable on the Gateway sets but I suppose you'll have to see it in action.
My experience with Proline products have been great, but there's always a first :eek:
 
BenQ

Hi CIS, have you already bought, if not, I can give you a good quote.
 
Hi CIS

I sell the BenQ LCD's as well, very nice units. The 37" is going for about R 11 500.00 inc VAT. Check out Benq.com
 
Anyone seen a Proline 32"? I stayed at a flat for about a month where they had one... wasn't impressed with the quality, the refresh rate seemed terrible, a lot of ghosting in DVDs.
