Just had a browse at NL's site all the good deals are already sold out!

 

 

I was in Harvey Norman checking out Samsung UA65KS9000 on 24th. The staffs told me it will be even better pricing on boxing day. And they will have store stock even the website is sold out. It was 3697 on 24th.

Looking for a basic 43" TV to replace just died 32". Cheap TVs at PBtech. 

 

Do I bother with smart TV for $200 extra considering I own a Google Chrome and some tablets? 

 

LG Smart 43"

Be careful not to rely on the reviews on the sellers website you see on the sale items.I was looking at the Noel Leeming website and came across this. The reviews are the same on both the items. Even though One is a 4G and other is Wireless.

That subject had its own thread. They are trolled from overseas review sites and filtered how they want it to sound. May not even be NZ models. (often text mentions how many pound it was..)

 

 

 

 

With this in mind, Noel Leeming has partnered with leading global product review aggregator, TestFreaks to provide you with the most comprehensive un-biased opinion on a huge range of our products.

Cause we all know paid product reviews are better than real life ones. So those are prioritised..

If anyone sees any reasonable deals on home theatre amps post it up - the ones that normally tend to show up with this haven't so far.

Forget about this 2 low end FHD lg tv, very rough and dark picture.

 

Chrome cast is not user friendly at all, maybe for you yes, not for other family members. LG 570 or 600 series is not a full smart tv, very limited and slow function/interface. 

 

 

 

For under $700 in Harvey Norman, the Samsung 40K5500 or 40KU6000 is 100 times better. Better panel and 4K and better system.

Good score, I always get the office 365 personal when it comes around each black friday/boxing day.  You can stack the codes.  I currently have 2 years left on mine.

Harvey Norman have these Panasonic 1TB Hard Drive Recorders (DMR-HWT260GN) on sale at the moment, cheapest price I've seen them at. $298
They are a fairly good Freeview recorder, especially for those considering ditching Skytv for Freeview + Netflix.

D'you happen to know if that hard drive was just for that store - NL's cheapest HDD on their website is $119.99 and the cheapest on PriceSpy anywhere is $118.

What do you think the chances are of going into HN/Noel and asking for a further 10% off specific laptops and bargaining them down? Im thinking laptops around the 2K mark give or take. Paying with cash.

Unlikely laptops will be at cost or below. Well that's what the sales person will see
