but by that rationale Mark we didn't "need" one because I took months and months to decide. Turns out we did need it because our old TV was too small where it was in the lounge and also it started to have green patches on it if left on for too long

You're as bad as I was phykell, I was even worse when it came to the surround sound

There comes a point where you have to put a stake in the ground and make a decision, otherwise you'll just keep going round and resent the thing. You have all the information, you know your budget, make it happen

There was a rationale in my post?

I've spent the past two years wanting a Wii, but not deciding to get one. I can do long decisions.

It doesn't help that everywhere is out of stock on the Sony LCD. Just rang Richer Sounds and they say Sony simply aren't fulfilling any orders

Perhaps it really is a case of them holding back due to the issue of backlight clouding

There are also some reports of similar issues on German AV forums.

I suspect they're trying to tell you something. You're not meant to have a Sony. Either that or they're all getting snapped up as Chrimbo pressies.

If you can, you might be better waiting for the January sales and trying to bag a bargain. Come January, there's going to be murder on the high street I suspect.

Not bad advice TBH however...

There will be murder in the phykell household if I haven't got a telly sorted by then!

best price I can get the KDL-46W4500 apart from RS is £1299. Well when I say best price it's the place we bought our TV from and they are competitive.

EDIT: that does come with a 5 year warranty. Found it somwhere else for £1199 but not sure if they have stock.

phykell · 17-11-2008, 18:28

That's a good price!

Richer Sounds are doing it for £1179.99 with the standard warranty - it's odd that John Lewis say they'll price match but they're still doing it for £1,649. It's odd because as part of their promise, once they find a cheaper price, they're supposed to apply it for all customers, and if that's the case, why has no-one been able to price match it lower than £1,649?

These price match promises are a bit dodgy AFAIC.

What have you got APoL?

A 50" Pioneer, but TBH Im thinking about one of the new 46" Kuros as the 50 is a tad large IMHO. I realised this as soon as I got it home, but I still think the typical 42" is too small, but now there are some internediate sizes coming onto the market.

I'll be reading all of your future posts, looking carefully for the next rollseyes for anyone that got a good deal on anything.

Although we both know that won't happen, don't we?
