[Merged] Warm? 32" Samsung LCD $499

[wharxce]

Futureshops customer appreciate sale is offering this 32" Samsung LCD for $499

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10099578&catid=23521&logon=&langid=EN

I think this offer is good until Tuesday 10 am est.

[ClubberLang]

lowest price i've ever seen. Last year's model on Boxing Day was 649.99

[Blackjack]

That's the best price I have seen so far---will it go any lower? Boxing day?

Best price previously: $525 w/$25 coupon from Sears

It would probably be safe to pick this TV up now---then using FS 30 day price-protection policy should there be any lower pricing.

I caved...that's my boxing day deal.

[scouzer]

ISPU is disabled :(

It says:

Sale Ends:
12/9/2008

Does that mean it ends at the START of the day tomorrow, or the end of the day???

[boubouq]

Damn! I got it just under 4 weeks ago from BB for $539.99

Now it's cheaper and it's a different store so I don't think I can price adjust!

[MC25]

Nice!
This is the price ive been looking for for a 32" LCD. I will PM bestbuy to get it at $489.

Hot price! I got this model in late August for $629 and am really happy with it so far. And I really like the design styling of it. It's got a gloss black finish.

I went to the store earlier ready to buy this for $599 plus 10% off but they had it at $589 on sale so the 10% didn't work. I went home and checked the web and it was $499 on the Future Shop web site. Went back to the store and had it price matched. I've been keeping my eye on this tv for a while as a gift and this is the lowest I have found it.

is this 1080p tv? not that it matters on a 32incher, 720p looks very NICE on a 32 when ur gaming

[Pot_Pie]

I was able to get ISPU on it. Just had to try for about 10 minutes before it finally let me. Placed my order at around 7:45 tonight.

[funnypanks]

is this 1080p tv? not that it matters on a 32incher, 720p looks very NICE on a 32 when ur gaming

no its 720p. 1080p on 32" only matters if u use it as a monitor

[grimplin]

must resist - must not cave

[sixer]

Wow, I can't believe how much tv's are dropping, this is crazy!
This is the best 720p 32inch tv in the world. This was several hundred more couple months back.

wow - This is a Hot Deal, change the title, forget warm.

[SAS-1]

I price matched this at Best Buy tonight for $479.99.

[esq05]

WOW. I was hoping this would be the price on Boxing Day so I could pick this up, but this is better. Took the plunge now, with ISPU - get it tomorrow.

Thanks OP.

[ZeroCoolZ]

Hot deal indeed!

I bought 2 of this model and just love it. I paid 750$ this summer...

[Grey Merlin]

It's a deal indeed, but the add of the shipping cost gives it a bitter taste.

[TheRequiem]

I price matched this at Best Buy tonight for $479.99.

Man, I'm set on getting a panel this year, but these prices are only getting better.

My dad works in electronics distribution, and says the overall stock in the system is insane, so the prices will have to come down even more to offload them all.

Bear in mind all the retailers made and paid their huge Christmas orders months ago. When the money dried up in sept/oct, the TVs were already in container ships on their way here from China.

[esq05]

So if we weren't to open this TV, is it 30 days return policy? or 14 days?

Like people have said, prices are going down, so might as well put another $100-$200 and get a 1080P 40" instead....

Great deal for a sammie 32"

One thing to think about, sure prices are sure to fall. But there's a point where it wont fall down to. 40" 1080p TV prices will probably be min of $750 or so.

You're right on that part. I'm just saying... but come to think of it, for the quality of a 40" 1080p, it won't be less than $800-$900 - I guess of course you can always get those Dynex or Insignia ones - but its not like the quality per $$ you are getting with this sammy.

[rsxonly]

hot deal... my brother has this tv... its nicer then my 42" panisonic plasma

[cmr140]

Fudge I paid 750 for this tv this past summer, aw well. By the way its a great tv for gaming and watching blu-ray's.

[nabate]

you might be alittle wrong there check your TV i'm sure it says made in Mexico.

[jaemes]

Damn. bought this about 2 months ago for 629.99 :(

oh well.. what can you do? but enjoy it for the moment.

[hellinar]

If I bought a TV from Futureshop without the HD digital cable box deal but later (within say, 3 days) reconsider, is there any chance I can still get one of the HD boxes for $99.99 if I bring them the receipt?

Nonetheless the fact of the matter is that purchase orders were made (yes probably a couple months ago) based on a much higher estimated pattern of demand, which has quickly dried up since everyone is starting to save, and/or wait for prices to fall.

Inventories = huge and only way to get rid of this is dropping prices like its hot ;)

This is one reason why i think prices might not be significantly better (in electronics) after end of year, as retailers have realized that growth outlook is low, they order less units and do not have to offer such crazy deals. Can you tell i work at a retailer? lol

[redbimmer]

This is smoking hot, esp. since you can PM at BB for additional savings. This model is the definitive 32" TV and consistently gets rave professional and user reviews on all the major websites. I was seriously looking at this model even at the original price point a few weeks ago, but in the end decided it was too small for my needs. These will probably sell out in a few days anywhere that's willing to match the price.

[Evil Baby]

Exact size I need for my computer room but I'm still holding out for cheaper damnit, even if it's used :)

[jeremy31]

This is good price....Perfect for a bedroom..


Ohh well Just Pickup One in Metrotown , Futureshop. I just got home , im installing right now..

[icu_nxtime]

On a price match from Montreal gazette add.

Best tv I ever owned and this is still a great tv for SD cable FYI.

Will it go lower ????? Possibly but at this price will there be any stock left soon ?

I jumped on it - because even if it is say $449 or something on Boxing day, there will be like 5-10 per store - and its hard to be one of the first ones just to save another $50 in this case scenario...

ok guys some of you say its not 1080p but it is, as it shows in the specs but i found that its 10000;1 contrast and then there is a 32 inch toshiba also for same price $499 and is 15000;1 contrast but is 720p/1080i only, so which of the 2 will have better hd picture? here are the links, i wanna buy one of these tvs tonight and need your guys' opinion it would be great thanks

you probably are gettin mixed up with the input capabilities.
yes the tv can receive a 1080p signal but will it display it at 1080p?
It will not. As the above poster mentioned both tvs do in fact have display capibilites of 720p. So these are not 1080p sets.

The contrast ratios given are both dynamic. they are measured by the companies using somewhat different methods. the numbers are meaningless. the higher one does not mean it displays a wider range of color shades.

I would go with the Samsung over the Toshiba. I find it looks a little better than the Toshiba. It also has a swivel base if that is important to you.

[ppl4golf]

All the drooling from you guys is the sole reason for these 32" to stay relatively pricey:D

At least, try PM and pick up at the store. You can bring a 32" on TTC and the -10% delta helps too. Still not what I'd consider super value but then it's just me becasue I don't need a 32"...

[jonno]

I was able to get ISPU on it. Just had to try for about 10 minutes before it finally let me. Placed my order at around 7:45 tonight.

What does ISPU stand for?

[b1unt3d]

I have seen both, and the samsung has superior picture quality. Like everyone has said, this is one of, if not the best 32" televisions out there.

ISPU = In Store Pick Up.

[NvMySi]

so i decided to go with the toshiba, as i put it in my shopping cart it went from $499 to $449 $50 off, so total after taxes and enviro fee $503 good buy for a bedroom tv.

[mathewvc]

that toshiba drops to 449.99 when put in the cart (like the guy above said)

[NvMySi]

yup and i know its a great tv, as i had a 32" in winnipeg,mb but my fiance sold it for $640 now picked up a brand new one for $449 lol, toshiba is great as i have a 47" toshiba regza 1080p tv and cant complain at all. anyways $49 is a great price.

[mathewvc]

man how long is this sale for... till next tuesday? i have 2 exams tomorrow so i dont have time... damn i think im gonna pull the trigger and price match it at bestbuy.

[boubouq]

u can definitely price adjust. just bring them the bill and the web page.

Thanks funnypanks. They adjusted the price no problem for me. Almost $50 saving!! Thanks OP, you saved me $50.

[Ilovedeals]

+1 - I bought this in July for about $679-$689. This is a great deal. If this is what you're waiting for on Boxing day, then I'd say save your sleep, stay warm, and snag this now. I can't see this dropping much on B-Day. Nice catch folks - I'm enjoying this TV right now. :)

[NvMySi]

no problem, just a better deal i think, also if you select the 37" toshiba tv it also knocks off $75 and brings the tv down to $674 model# 37AV502U) , or lg 37" $629

that toshiba drops to 449.99 when put in the cart (like the guy above said)

The reason why it's $50 off when you add to your cart is because the customer appreciation sale is on right now, and that ends Dec 9 @ 10:00 EST.

The Samsung is excluded from the customer appreciation sale for some reason.

The Samsung is defiantly the winner in terms of PQ, and it also has one more HDMI port compared, along with 2ms faster response time. But if I were buying one, I'd buy the Toshiba just due to it being $50 less.

[scouzer]

Picked up the Samsung! Woot! And my girlfriend picked one up last week, got price protected and got $100 back. Awesome.

[mathewvc]

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with a product you have purchased, we will gladly give you a full refund (except for certain items described below) or exchange if you return it to any Future Shop store within 30 days after you receive it (14 days for computers, monitors, printers, notebook computers, camcorders, digital cameras, radar detectors, portable DVD players and air conditioners) in its original condition (including all packaging, accessories and manuals).

My god...need to spell everything out for you eh.

Just buy another one if it's cheaper and return this one.

or easier is browse the futureshop site yourself to find their policy. Considering you know the difference between price protection and product service plan, shame on you for not trying to help and just sit there and correcting people.


Here is the Correct one.


3 great reasons to buy at Future Shop.

1) If you find a lower advertised price we will beat it by 10% of the difference.
2) If you find a lower advertised price within 30 days* of your purchase we
will beat it by 10% of the difference.
3) If our own price is reduced within 30 days* of your purchase, bring in your
receipt and we will refund the difference.

* 14 days for computers, laptops, monitors, printers, camcorders, digital cameras, portable DVD players, radar detectors, projectors and air conditioners. (http://www.futureshop.ca/informationcentre/EN/onlinepolicies.asp?logon=&langid=EN)


Their online and in store policy are the same. Hope it helps.

[boubouq]

If you ever find the same model for a cheaper price within 30 days, bring in your bill and they reimburse you the difference.

I was just within the 30 days (by 3 days) so I got my price protection. But I did notice that when I pulled up my orders I had ordered it on Nov 10 but picked it up and paid for it on Nov 11 so I was told the 30 days runs from Nov 11 when I paid for it. Lucky it was not closer or I would have been disappointed as I was working it out from Nov 10 when I ordered it.

[lunaris]

I just sold my Daytek 32" lol!! Any Coupons to make this even hotter?

[Airey]

Just did a quick check on how hot this deal might be.

The American Costco is selling 32 Sharp (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11313797&whse=BC&Ne=5000002%204000000&eCat=BC|79|2341|3316&N=4001382%204294908733&Mo=16&pos=1&No=15&ViewAll=17&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&ec=BC-EC10605-Cat2341&topnav=) for 499.99 regular price.

And that's not even the cheapest place to get TV. With the exchange rate and stuff, I think it's possible to get a comparable deal. LCD price is dropping like a rock. Especially these relatively smaller size TVs.

Just my 2 cent to share.

[rfdaddict23]

sweeet...thanks OP, i pulled the trigger on this deal! $499 is definitely a pricing sweet spot for 32' LCD TVs. PQ from SD Digital Cable looks pretty good, and I can't wait to test out some HD material.

[Firestorm]

With both TV's at $499.99, which is the better deal?

The Samsung.

[misterburns]

The Samsung.



Yezzzz, CNET and I agree with that!

The question now is, do I return the $675 27" Dell UltraSharp and get this $565 Sammy as my monitor instead? I'd save $110 and have a bigger screen...mind you a crappier resolution.....but I do sit ~3 feet from my monitor

suggestions? comments? advice?

thanks

[WarODO]

It'll all depend on what you use your computer for. Personally I'd stick with the higher resolution on a smaller screen, especially at only ~3' away, but then again I opted to get a 22" lenovo monitor with 1920x1200 instead of a 24" with the same resolution.

If you're using it as a monitor I would opt for 1080p instead for the resolution. It's the only reason I haven't jumped on this already, I'm hoping for a 1080p around this price before I jump on it.

[who_ca]

I just ordered one online for in-store pickup (ISPU) this morning.

I tried last night but the ISPU system was down (I spoke to FutureShop web support and they confirmed they were working on it last night and told me to try again later). It was back up when I tried at 7:30am today.

This TV is for my Dad to replace his 27" CRT that is on the fritz. Looks like a good deal.

Pulled the trigger on this one for the mother-in-law.
She needs a new YV to add some space to her room.
Great deal, better than the 2 year old LG TV I have.
Hopefully, the wife sees how beautiful the picture is and asks for one for our house :)

You should have no regrets. That's how the technology rolls these days. Unless you have a true insider, there is absolutely no way to time the pricing.

Must be over. When I add it to cart, it's $649.99.

best place for a walmount is ebay

No monoprice has killer deals on mounts.

I caved... further justified it by getting the much needed HD 4250 receiver for $99.

It appears as though the deal is now dead. Both TV's are now back to $650.
