    seeing as it is sale time going to upgrade the tv, after reading boards richersounds seems like a good place to buy from..

    Looked at a few sets in currys and was thinking 32' but looks kinda small and 40 looks kinda big so going for 37' also not really into HD so was going to go for plasma but they seem to be better for over 40' so LCD it is ..

    Narrowed it down to these few any suggestions good / bad or other let me know ?

    LG LG 37LG3000

    LG-37LG6000 http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct/LG-37LG6000

    LG- 37LC5*

    This sony also got my interest cause of the offer http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct/SONY-KDL40V4000U

    thanks all

    Had a look around the sales here and boy are they so so poor. Even sale prices dont compare with uk (Richersounds etc) normal prices. Was in Currys in Galway and a 32" tv was in sale for 499€, same tv in richersounds was £299 (approx 350€).

    +1 on ROI sale prices.

    Was in a few sofa (etc) shops today and prices are same as before "sales".

    I'd hoped that the ROI AV sellers would have copped on by now and at least started getting their sale prices even close to the NI/UK guy's, but nope.

    Who's paying €2000+ for 50" plasma TVs in ROI? Who's buying anything in ROI?

    To OP: you're right to spend your money in NI or UK - it may not be patriotic, but neither is the practise of exploiting your fellow countryman's gullability/naiivety regarding AV technology and their nervousness about buying online or travelling 200 miles in their car to save €700 (or €1075 - see edit below) on a 50" plasma.

    EDIT - just checked RS's UK site: the TV I'll be getting is now £1100 with the 5 year warranty. That's €1125 today: €1075 less than Harvey was selling it for before xmas! I'm not sure of his post xmas "sale" price . . .

    If your free cash is as limited as mine, it'll matter to you that it'll go a lot further in NI/UK than if you donate it to greedy ROI sellers who laugh about you over dinner in expensive restaurants, or on their Blackberries to each other (while driving the porsches), boasting that "Paddy hasn't got a clue! Haha!"

    I've said it elsewhere - my conscience will be clearer when I buy from RS than that of the greedy dealers in ROI should be.

    Also, I'll bet that in 2 months time you'll be regretting not going for the biggest TV your money could have gotten you.
