Hi all,
After much researching on this brilliant forum, reading of reviews, traipsing through countless stores, ringing around for competitive prices and plenty of stress later .... I have finally put in an order for a budget widescreen telly.
I was looking to buy a Nicam only JVC AV28T25 initially and then upgrade the sound system with a full 5.1 surround sound set but instead plumped for the JVC AV28R25 (with DPL built in) as I managed to get this model for less than the cost of the standard Nicam one.
John Lewis do not sell the AV28T25 ... but were selling the AV28R25 for 649 GBP but I managed to persuade them to do a price match with RGB in Ilford and got the telly for just 489 GBP with their standard Five year guarantee thrown in ... WHOOHOO !!!
The person I was dealing with at JL informed me that they are now getting stricter with the Price Match promise - apparently they will only match against certain listed competitors and no longer do a price match on the spot.
In my situation, I was told they would make an exception as I had made a trip into the store after someone incorrectly told me over the phone that if I was there in person they would check the competitor's price immediately ... tut tut!
Incidently, Costco are selling the Nicam only AV28T25 for 494 GBP (including VAT) with their three year guarantee.
Anyone, I'm looking forward to next Monday when it is being delivered to chill back with some trouble free viewing (cross fingers) - it was a close call what with the World Cup not too far off !
So thanks to all on the forum that have helped me make a decision and good luck to those out there stlll trying.
Cheers
Rash.
p.s. I'll be back should I have any probs ... please no !!!!l; l;
