    Didn't think Amazon delivered that size TV... definitely good value if so!

    EDIT: Just tried, and they do indeed!

    Just tried a test purchase, went through OK. :) Says 34% of the stock claimed now though.

    Amazon won't send tv's which are more than 26"
    e.g. widescreen televisions (larger than 26 inch), furniture or some fitness equipment, can only be delivered to mainland UK.

    See above...

    Nah if it goes through checkout they'll deliver it.

    That's a great price. I tried and it let me too. The Lightning deals must work differently to normal. Was looking to buy a TV before and it wouldn't let me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Have it in my cart and trying to think of someone who'll need it before the 10 minutes Lightning Deal price is up! :D

    Just got a 42" LED Smart TV last month so can't warrant it for myself unfortunately.

    EDIT: Picked it up... father might take it. Otherwise I'll cancel it, or resell it on Adverts for whatever I paid.

    Thanks for the heads-up Oracle.. I never check those Amazon Lightning Deals.

    Oh, and marked as Expired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,413 ✭✭✭CH3OH


    The deal is still available as of 13;26

    62% now claimed 08:33:35 remaining


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Invincible


    Still available.

    Yep, I think Basq is under the impression that it was a 10 minute lightening deal rather than a 10 hour one.

    Whoops... un-marked as Expired.

    Was under that exact impression DeepBlue.

    Bit stupid that you only have a 15 minute window in order to complete the order if there's the potential of it running for 10 hours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭scout353


    Just bought one of these! Thanks OP - great deal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 216 ✭✭lotmc


    Just bought one. Not sure why, but at that price I will find a good use for it!

    What price does this work out at in euros at checkout?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,335 ✭✭✭death1234567


    What price does this work out at in euros at checkout?
    €374.44 I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    Paid in sterling... it'll be under €400 anyways.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭80s Child


    Darn...still, nice work op!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭Oracle

    I'm not sure but even if you get the option, don't pay in Euros on Amazon, pay in sterling. Amazons exchange rate is always higher than the credit card exchange rate. The euro price, including 2% credit card foreign exchange fee, should be about €384.

    Any gurantee with this tv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    Presumably 1 year's standard manufacturer's warranty.

    Amazon have excellent customer service. If it is faulty I would expect that you'll have no problems getting help from them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    100% now claimed.. so marked as Expired (for real this time! :D)

    Well yeah 100% claimed but ..... you can still join the Waitlist. I just joined it to test. I got a box within minutes saying I had 3 minutes to put the TV in my basket. So looks like there's still some left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭rocky


    I released 1 back to the queue, Ms rocky wants a tv with internet capabilities...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭jmorrisey

    Amen! :D

    The amount of stuff I bought on a whim on Amazon that I end up cancelling after further reflection!


  • Registered Users Posts: 266 ✭✭mickey1985

    Did read that alright somewhere. Doesn't Sony do this to their budget TV's too? Wouldn't particularly bother me tbh.
    Tested by Which? Only scored 44%.
    Tested by the typically reliable TrustedReviews also - scored an above average 7 / 10.
