My friend from Abenson Festival Mall, called me last Saturday to inform me that they are having a price reduction on LCD's. However I did not ask for more details since the news came in too late for me, I have already bought a plasma from the other store.

It could be the price reduction that you have been talking about. Lucky for you, it's a good time to buy. Good luck.

now we know what we did wrong

also, upconversion will always produce some degree of graininess.. its was just a lot worse with the saving private ryan dvd

but we saw the graininess while watching Avia, Ronin and War of the Worlds too.

you're right, must be the upconversion.

oh well... with the N71s tweakability, we were able to lessen it anyway.

ambassador..

anyways, we will be meeting at the varios shops in glorietta

also.. the samsung 32r71w went down by 10k recently.. i cant remember if happened today or a few weeks ago...

allenwfc · « **Reply #127 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 02:32 PM »

@ everyone
ok, i called ambassador regarding stock for the lcd tv's.

they said that they have on-hand stock for the samsungs and some for the sony.
i inquired worse-case scenario assuming no stock is in the shop. they said it will only take about 1-2 hours to have it delivered from the warehouse on sunday

if anyone has time, please check if there is any SRP prices movement for the sony and samsung models.. or by a "miracle" they released a new promo for march.. though most unlikely for promo changes.

see u guys on sunday!!!

Guys!!! Just called up Abenson. It seems that Samsung dropped the freebies promo but they dramatically reduced the price. the N71 is now 79900, R71 69900, S 59900. These items can be bought with the 12% zero-interest. Cash basis without haggling is less 5k.

Allen, can you check if Ambassador is going to lessen the price by 20% with these prices? I doubt if they can still offer the freebies, but even without the freebies, it would seem like a great buy.

wohoo!!
that translates to a potential 64k for the n71 @20%!!!!

is this abensons branch in glorietta? or where? we need a "quotation" in paper from them so that it would be easier to haggle, since many shops tend to be slow in price propagation ex. star hub experience.

@everyone
please pm or text me at cell number so i have list of everyones contacts, aside from stained and ryukai.. i dont have anyone elses number saved here

Nope Shangri-la. Just called up the first abensons number I could find. The just took out the value of the freebies, but it saves us the trouble of selling them.

yes, agreed.

i guess best way is to ask for card price withouth the freebies haha

dips15 · « **Reply #133 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 03:36 PM »

Actually I was told that Samsung wasnt offering freebies for the 32 inch models anymore. I think they had to match the price reduction of LG, Sharp and Toshiba. Not to mention the price that Sights and Sounds offer for their Sony TVs.

if that is true, then it would really be good news!!

i just hope that they will update their website b4 Sunday, so that it will be "official" or better yet grab a flyer stating the new price.

btw, dips, i dont have your cell num yet

well 70k *. 8 = 56k =)

well sounds like the no freebie thing is starting to take root in the shops already wohoo!!

PUSH · « **Reply #137 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 04:30 PM »

i went to abensons(near my place) last night and they're giving both the R71, S71, N71 at minus 20K..bringing the price down to 69K, 59K and 79K respectively plus a free HTQ20... however there is no 29" tv included anymore...

if you dont avail of the HTQ20 then an instant 5K can be shaved off the price...

hopefully the price drops take effect before sunday across all stores...

poch · « **Reply #138 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 04:36 PM »

how about the sony prices? any reductions? specially the V2 series

PUSH · « **Reply #139 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 04:39 PM »

by the way the sales guy gave me the details in writing so it seems this is for real... im just not too good in haggling so i didn't get the 20% off on cash buyers...

miks696 · « **Reply #140 on:** Mar 02, 2007 at 04:44 PM »

yeah prices are pretty low now. The 40" samsung (dunno model 3000:1 contrast ratio model) is now 129,999k with a free 20" LCD. You could probably sell the LCD for 20k so cost is 110. Not bad?

*wishful thought*
40f71 @ 100k mwahaha

I guess this does sound kinda like good news, although I already had plans for the freebies. I was gonna give the camera to my mom and the mp3 player to my brother...Anyway, it's been running through my mind for a while but somehow I think other than the fact that they(samsung) wanted to match the prices of the other brands, that the posters of this thread had something to do with with the price drop. It's like samsung noticed they had to rethink their strategy or something to sell their LCDs, because of all the calls and inquiries appliance stores have been getting.

I really still hope though that we can still get a discount with the group buy because even at these prices I still think their kinda expensive, you know, compared to other country's prices.

well the SRP of the 32n71 in singapore is around 90k pesos, probably lower a bit now since the website i checked was a bit outdated. so im pretty the local samsung prices here are a bit higher but by only a small margin with cash purchases.

but, yes cheaper is better.. hehe
