UA40D5000PR

Will be buying by Frid

Typical usage will be for watching football in HD and Series maybe a bit of PS4

Thanks

anyone?

The D is a year older (2010) than the EH (2011).

IIRC the D uses edge lit LED backlighting, and it has a slimmer bezel. Better aesthetically, but more prone to light bleed/spots.

The ES range from 2011 was the equivalent of the D, with edge lit LED backlighting and slim bezel.

I doubt there will be much in it, perhaps go for the newer one.

Here is one at DionWired. http://www.guzzle.co.za/specials/view/836181/

Not sure if it is a good price though. I see Teljoy have something for R729pm.

Hi guys
I need some advice
The t.v. Listed in picture is available for sale by a friend of mine at staff price
Basically the guy will charge me R39000
Is it worth it?
Is it available cheaper anywhere else

Highly unlikely to find it for cheaper.
Holy crap, that profit margin though...

If everything is legit, then you should be jumping all over this deal. Profit margin is HUGE!!!!!!!

I'm thinking of speculating buying and reselling is it worth it?
Do you guys think I can get a buyer for a tv
Or will I Burn my fingers

 

[Debeer165]

I'm sure someone would buy it from you at a profit. These TV's are way overpriced either way, yet seem to be selling.

I'd appreciate any feedback, from the Postman or anyone else.

Looking at getting a new TV. Currently on a 32" Samsung LCD which has been excellent.

TV sits in lounge. Used for movies and sport. Viewing distance 3m+.

Considering these options:
50” Phillips LED from Dionwired at R7200.00

http://www.dionwired.co.za/televisions/philips-50-high-definition-led-tv.html



48” Samsung from Kalahari at R7499.00 plus a R500 voucher

http://www.kalahari.com/Technology/Samsung-UA48H5100-Series-48-Full-HD-LED-Television_p_49057194



42” LG from Takealot for R4599.00

http://www.takealot.com/jvc-42-full-hd-dled-tv/PLID32533201

Max budget is around 7k.

Any recommendations?

The difference between 42" and 50" massive?

Thanks

Personally, I would go this route. http://www.guzzle.co.za/specials/view/827478/

It just depends on how bright / dark the room is, etc.

I purchased a 42'' LG FHD 3D TV from Makro for R5,999. Thought it was a helluva bargain.

The LGs seem quite popular.

I'm trying to go as big as possible, while staying within budget and not sacrificing size for quality or brand..

So far I'm leaving towards the 48" Sammie from Kalahari...

Went to the LG store. They have a 50" plasma for 6k...What's wrong with plasmas again?

Apparently there is a lurking plasma stalker. He will visit your house in the middle of the night to gaze upon your screen before they leave this world forever.

People are scared of him
