Yes, this will work. Note that with Toslink you won't be able to play DD+ audio, so HDMI ARC is still better.
You can use the buy & sell section of the site: https://www.hifivision.com/forums/for-sale-by-owner.77/
Thanks, i brought mine in July (LG Showroom) when It was freshly launched in India at Rs 165K, so i fixed the price according to that
Try OLX too. Why, can't you use it for games alone for your children? As this is the best gaming tv currently available in market.
@BLASTO got his CX brand new for 1.05 lakhs last Diwali and a lot of offline stores even now are selling for 1.2 lakhs. Even on Amazon, if you buy with 1.34 lakhs with no cost EMI and cancel the loan immediately, it will effectively net you 120k (as that's the principle amount).
I have it put on the OLX since last couple of weeks, if I don't get the expected price then I will keep the TV n shift it to my parents room n my children have free access to there room 24x7, so a win win scenario I guess.
I just checked with Croma,Tata, Reliance they are all at Rs 145k , could you elaborate more on those offline stores as I maybe missing out on some others...
Vijay sales in my city has been selling for 1.2 lakhs when I last checked a couple months ago. Obviously right now in Mumbai there's a lockdown.
You just checked the online price I guess. The CX is available for a much cheaper price offline if you go in person and negotiate. That's how most on this thread got it. I have tracked the price of CX for at least one year now and almost bought the thing last Diwali if the U79 didn't come for el-cheapo price.
Wow! That's a big accusation.
The online prices are only for show. Actual selling prices are a lot lower. I got mine for 1.2L after CB last diwali in Mumbai plus got 3 months Netflix premium plan worth almost 2,500 with it. Add to that a warranty of 3 years as opposed to standard warranty of 1 year.
It is based on heresay mostly and I am afraid I can't substantiate those with actual proof, I guess one will have to check the packing thoroughly and the look for any panel defect or performance issues.
It is 8 months old actually, it came with 1 plus 1 warranty, I paid Rs 165 k for it then.
Duly noted and obliged
I think it needs a different HDMI cable. 2.0 over 1.4 or something like that. I will try Toslink. Always wanted to use that.
I have placed order on Amazon's optical cable. So let me try that. HDMI, I can use later when I have better audio amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers. Till then I am too lazy to fiddle with the AVR settings.
