Prices need to come down a lot more. I've got five tv's at home (all fairly new crt tv's). When i do change to lcd, i'll buy 3 or 4 at one time. But prices must drop much more.

I would stay away from Logik. Looks kinda suspicious. Rather go for Sinotech then! Its a much better option.

I had a Logik 32" - when the input board went faulty - I found out that the pcb is generic chinese - also used by Telefunken - cost R1700 to replace.

btw - Telefunken is now only a brand name - way down in quality

+ 100000

They quoted us R12 999 for the Samsung 40" B530 where Game (in the same mall) had it for R11 999 and from today on special for R9 999.

if its eating you just buy the tv one time :) no point in waiting and waiting....what is truly an amazing special? a 40 ' full hd for R5k? . just think....all the time you waiting you could actually be watching.if the cash isnt a huge major factor just get it.
im still extremely happy with my 42' Sinotech : i know the price will drop even further but ive had it for longer - got to watch all that extra porn ;)

Just ought one from Game Beacon Bay. looks awesome on Xbox

You mean the Xbox games look awesome on the new TV. The TV doesn't send signals (afaik) and the Xbox can't display them even if the TV could send coherent signals. Just a thought.

True. They seem to stock 'specials' for ages that aren't cheaper than Makro even.

Bought a TV at game on Saturday & to my astonishment there is a special where the thing sells for 800 less on the Sunday. Threw a fit & got the 800 back today ;)

Audio Vision had my 46" for R1,000 cheaper than Game - I went back to Game and got a R1,100 back... I think it depends on the model.

noticed now that game special is on that 40B530, all others carrying the R11999 special are for 40B550 (marko, stax, hificorp). Only difference btwn the 2 - 550 has 4 HDMI connections, 530 has 3. 550 70000:1 contrast ratio, 530 60000:1 and lastly but most oddly..550 has 6ms response time, 530 has 5ms? anyways..still likks to be a good buy (just returned from Game - no more blue rays tho - you can buy it as the special now and then hope to get one sometime...kinda like buying new mags and then getting the car next year...kinda letdown.:(
