{HELP} Planning to buy Sony-46HX800 but not available

[amanker]

I am planning to buy this diwali Sony KDL-46HX800 (Sony has very good offer for this TV on this Diwali 9 bluray titles, 2 3D-glasses, Surround Bar, 3D BDP) I informed my dealer one month back that I will buy this TV on Diwali but now he is telling that this 46inch model is not available, after much persuasion and after talking to Sony they said that they will made available this TV but not with Surround Bar. This is really frustrating. How they can deny the freebees which sony is offering on this diwali? And sony is heavily sending on promoting 3D so how its possible that this product is not in stock anywhere. If 40inch product is available with all freebee's than why not 46inch? And Diwali broucher clearly says its applicable to both 40inches and 46inches.

I have seen Panasonic 50-VT20D. I really liked this TV. Its indeed a best PQ. Even in 3D. Things stopping me from buying this TV are:-
1. My TV is on for at least 10Hrs daily. and power consumption of this TV is 365W according to AVSForum testing ( even 200W avarage after calibration and can go upto 400W)
2. Screen Flicker is clearly visible in light color scenes. This is irritating to me. ( May my eyes will adjust to it after using for days )
3. I am using my TV as computer monitor (Sony 32V300A) whole things are attached to this TV. I have fear for pixel burning or image retention since I use my PC from 11.00PM to 2.00AM almost daily.

So please suggest me what should I do?

Well isn't there a Sony World,you are clearly entitled for the freebies since its a 3d tv.
If the dealer doesn't have them in ready stock,ask them at the earliest when can they get it.
the alternate to the Sony is the Samsung C8xxxx LED lcd,which also has some form of limited local dimming just like HX800 but more expensive then the Sony.But has slightly worse 3d PQ then the HX800.

have you seen the Picture quality of sony and samsung 3D ?. As i'm also planning to buy a 46 - 3D TV. My Take after few days of spending in the shops is

On 3D --- Sony negative : it has a external transmitter, from an angle the image gets distorted, not available in the market (saying waiting of 4 to 6 weeks).

Don't buy such a product! If they are making such a fuss over a product which you want to buy and are willing to pay money for, imagine the natak they will make if, God forbid, the TV gets spoilt?

...... HX800.

I went to Sony Exclusive Dealer. There is no Sony World here. I talked to all possible persons here in Rajasthan and they talked to their higher officials. But the matter is same. Someone told me that this offer is available in metro's only. I talked to Sony Customer care but no help.
