LG 42" plasma : price?

[Dolby]

I'm selling this for R5,500.00 - which I thought was a decent price - but seems the queries on it are slow. Am I charging too much? Or am I just impatient and should wait longer?

It's got HDMI and 720 resolution and pretty much been used for only 300 hrs.

Also got a 42". You might struggle to find a buyer - new prices keep on dropping and specs improving. Paid R14 000 for mine 2 years ago. New price: R8000.

Why do you want to sell anyway?

 

[Dolby]

I paid under that ... about R12,000.00 But I they're similar specs to the new units and that extra R3,000.00 may be outta reach for someone to get a brand new set. Oh well ...

I'm upgrading to a larger screen with 1080.

Damn good price. Where are you based? Give us a link for the specs?

What sort of life expectancy are plasma TV's expected to have? I see you mention hours...

It seems the price is ok then, so just being impatient

I don't have a link to the specs - couldn't find much online. That's why I put the model so maybe one of you guys can search Based in Randpark Ridge, btw.

A plasma is about 60,000hrs life. The reason I mention the hours is because it shows the actual usuage is very low compared to the age. I've read somewhere that you can't even run a plasma on high contrast & colour till about 150 hrs anyway, as the screen is still reasonably 'new'.

I might take it from you if you don't have much interest, need it for my bar. Is it an urgent sale? (still renovating the bar)

 

[Dolby]

Urgh not really urgent ... but how far along is your bar?

Though, the sooner I get rid of this, the quicker I buy a shiny new one ... hehe

I'm maybe two or three weeks away from being done. Can I connect a Playstation 3 to that TV and watch blu-ray,etc? I need to get this thing out of my lounge, it's driving me nuts.

Yea ... it's got 2 x HDMI, component, VGA in, composite in etc

Just keep in mind that static images (Xbox, PS3, PC's, media player etc) are better with LCD - especially with the risk of image retention and possible burn in (depending how long the static image is displayed and whether you have a screensaver).
