Samsung plasma "shocker of a price"!!!!

[zoso02]

Around a year back I picked up a 50"...4 series Samsung plasma for around 60K. Have never regretted it.

I guess due to all the hype around LCD's and LED's these seem to be going for lower in India.

This is my first post on Hifivision. I was bent towards pana 42V20, but this thread has made me rethink my choice. Can any of the forum members help me compare these two, which would be a better buy. the best quote i have got for 42V20 is 61.5K.

Note: Size of the screen is not my concern, i am more towards PQ, service and reliability.

@Vardu and Madbullram,can you please post the address of the Kilpauk store??(Or,are there any other branch in Chennai,Kilpauk would be easier though)

they have 2 places: kilpauk and Mugapair, call up Viabhav and get the address

simple googling gives it to:

Thanks again,Mods,I didn't know all these days that one can google to find an address!
Now,I have the arduous task of locating Ormes road in Kilpauk,though I did my graduation in the medical college there,this road is not known,but Taylor's road is very familiar,so should be easy.Let me see.
Thanks mods.

From what ive read in the internet this TV looks like an amazing deal for the price, it might be slightly inferior in terms of pic quality to the v20 but for the price it definitely will be better than most of the expensive LCD's.

I am considering getting two 50" for the vacation home at my native place.

here is a review that might give some insight.

This was a direct order placed at the Chennai Store (Vaibhav is the store owner).

Hi All,

I am almost set to order one C6500 from Vaibhav to get it shipped here to Bangalore. Please let me know your experiences if any of your pieces is delivered. Also the shopping experience. I have been unable to check any C6500 here in Bangalore but still would like to go ahead with the purchase. I am bit apprehensive of shipping after reading elsewhere that Plasmas needs to be transported upright.

The TV is being shipped from Hyderabad, which raises the question - how was it transported to HYD?

 

[Kittu]

Transportation is a big lottery my friends !!!! forget the city to city or state to state ... intercity transports reportedly have more damages... just from the local store to home.... So all you can do is makesure to check with the dealer replacement incase of damages and pray the lord ....

 

[Dushie]

If the Samsung company is transporting the set then you should not worry, my set was shipped from Chennai and delivered in Bangalore . Then it was delivered at home by Samsung.

If the dealer is transporting then you need to have a discussion before hand with him as who would bear the transport costs and in case of damages what happens?

Better to clarify the above before placing the order payment.

In this particular case, when I spoke to Vaibhav (JD electronics) he told me that it was being transported by courier and any costs would be borne by the store and implicit immediate replacement in case of any damages.

I am waiting to hear from the other folks who would have received their sets by now.

Guys...can we stop discussing panasonic pricing in this thread? We will leave it for Samsung alone and continue our pricing discussion in Price Thread. I am posting Pana price I got from JD there

Where is the Panasonic pricing being discussed now?
