PANASONIC TX-32LXD85 32" LCD TV only £399.00 delivered at Roy Jowett

PANASONIC TX-32LXD85 32" LCD TV for £399.00 delivered!



Great TV at a great price, ordered mine today from Roy Jowett - Home Cinema & HiFi. I called to check the price as they have the Panasonic - TX32LXD80 listed at £425.00 which is a lower spec model. Turns out they got a bulk order deal from Panasonic, the guy on the phone was very helpful and gave me some useful advice.

Here's the link:

Panasonic TX32LXD85 LCD Television: Roy Jowett Home Cinema & Hi Fi

Panasonic's flagship 720p LCD is a stunner. Expect superb build quality, great value, a plethora of features and an altogether great image. Panasonic's TX-32LXD85 has a high contrast ratio of 10,000:1 allowing for deep black levels which make movie watching a pleasure. When it comes to Freeview, the TX32LXD85 is equally as impressive, thanks to Panasonic's 100Hz Motion Picture Pro technology. This high 100Hz refresh rate makes motion smooth and blur-free. Scrolling text will be as clear as ever and pan shots will be seamless. But Panasonic have not stopped there. The TX 32LXD85's advanced 3D colour management gives accurate colours, whether it be the natural tones of movies or the rich vibrant colours of games consoles.

Shame it isn't backed by the usual 5 year warranty

Roy Jowett will no longer honour this unless you collect from their shop. Mail order price is £126 more at £525 (yes you did read that right).

They blame Panasonic, but I had a legally binding contract with them prior to the date they claim Panasonic "changed the rules". They just rang up, spoke to someone other than me and told them the price was now £525 instead of the £399 when the order was placed.

Currently reporting to Trading Standards, but Roy Jowett don't seem to care about that either.

Caveat Emptor.

I also place an order with Roy Jowett at £399 and even had a delivery date. But I also received the call two days later saying panasonic had pulled the plug and so they wanted more money to fulfil my order. Post how you get on with Trading Sandards.

Roy Jowett's terms and conditions state that an order with them is not accepted until an actual delivery date has been arranged and the law in this country allows a retailer to change the price at any stage up to the acceptance of an order. For what it's worth, Panasonic has just (1st Feb) increased the price on this tv by £90.
