Im on the lookout for a 40-46" LCD. I would spend anything up to £1k.
Ive been keeping an eye on the Samsung LCDs since early last year when the M87 series first appeared. Ive left it a long time because to start with the prices were rather high and I wanted the bugs ironed out which I guess they would be by now.
So yesterday I started looking. The M87 40" model is now at a quite reasonable £740ish or lower depending on the deal and thats great. The 46" on the other hand is £1080 at best?!
Thats a massive £340 difference in price for a mere 6" of screen size. Why is the price so dramatically different...?
On another note the F series was launched later. On the face of it, it would appear to be quite similar to the M series with a number of additions that will be important to some people. This also is more than £300 more than its M87 equivalant... for practically the same screen, whats going on there?
And finally the M87 series is now 9 months old at least, which in LCD TV terms is getting on quite old. Does anyone know of plans by Samsung to replace it? I do think 2008 will be the golden year for 1080p TVs
Thanks all, and happy New Year!
