New 2010 32'' Sony @ Komplett.ie

Dr. Nick

KDL32ex500 for €607 (pick-up in Swords).
The UK version of this TV (the 503) has freeview HD, which is mostly pointless here and comes in at around the £700 mark, plus delivery.

Has all the necessaries - Full HD, 100hz, USB with DivX, internet tv widgets (plus wifi), MPEG4 tuner....

[QUOTE=Dr. Nick; freeview HD, which is mostly pointless here - it is good stuff, if no extra money for it , 2 HD channels plus about 40 SD channels

Dr. Nick

How many people can receive UK freeview here though? Wexford maybe? No HD in the UK yet.

Thats an alright price considering its a new model, but its not a bargain. Prices of non led sets would want to be coming down a bit now that led is after establishing itself in the market.

This may be from a dodgy retailer(who knows, they might have improved their awful customer service) but at just over 500€ delivered, its much more of a bargain. As good a set if not better than the sony IMHO

I'm typing on an Acer laptop bought from directlaptops.co.uk so no problem with them.

Samsung looks good, but we're not comparing like with like so therefore Sony remains a bargain compared to what's available - like for like. No MPEG-4 HD tuner on the Samsung as far as I can see?

It definitely has an mpeg4 tuner, without doubt, all 2009 samsung tv's have mpeg4.

True the sony is a year newer but the series 6 samsung is a brilliant telly and i'd say i'd still nearly take the samsung over the sony even if they were the same price

BTW, ironically, i'm typing this on an acer laptop that i bought from them but had a load of issues when ordering

But is there a difference between an Mpeg4 tuner and an HD Mpeg4 tuner?
Not sure myself...

Well, there is no difference between the tuner in that particular sony on komplett and the 32B650, they are both HD MPEG4 tuners

However, as you say in the OP, the UK version of the sony has a Freeview HD tuner which is different again, but can still pick up mpeg4,

Picking up 40+ DTT Channels here in Dundalk - VERY USEFUL

Note that if the DTT Tuner does Mpeg4 you can also get the 5 RTE Channels

Collected today from Ballycoolin (they've moved from Swords) - beware they only open @ 11am, but close @ 7pm.
€600 for this TV collected is EASILY the value in Europe......can anyone find this excellent TV cheaper?

good stuff, another €23 cheaper! - ah well...... even a better bargain for all.

Sony shop in Blanch quoted €799 today - unknown delivery date. What planet do these people exist on?

Zonda999

I find it amazing how many of these stores are still in business., same story of Harvey Normans, was in there today and some of their prices on tvs is absolutely ludicrous

gleep

+1 on that, I can only assume it's people buying on finance deals thats keeping them open.
