 |
|
I saw a similar post but it was a bit outdated. I am in the market for a new TV. I want something 50-55". I would like to spend around 1 000 000 won. I have browsed HiMart and have seen off brand sets in that range and a few LG's not too far outside of that range.
Any tips on specific retailers, brands or models? Should I stick with LG or Samsung? Moving into the new place thursday and I want to buy the TV this week. Any info would be appreciated |

I ended up paying 1 750 000 
Wife wanted 3D, I wanted a big screen. For 1 300 000 they had a 55inch LG (no 3D) or a 50 inch LG smart TV (3d). We couldnt make a decision. Thats when we noticdd the 60 inch Samsung marked down to 1 750 000. We completely over bought but on the plus side, gonna be fun watching Game of Thrones next month. |

For cheaper/smaller screens, buy local. HiMart has really inflated prices, but usually the LG/Samsung shops are okay. Online will always be cheaper, but the A/S is not as good.
If you're going to spend over a million on a TV, import! Any of the nicer models have crazy markups compared to the U.S. (despite being local brands). And with services like malltail http://post.malltail.com/, shipping is way less than if you'd do it on your own. |

Agreed. when it comes to electronics - first I look at amazon - then gmarket - if amazon offers the same thing for a lot cheaper, I move on to something else. |
