CES Hands On - Samsung HW-Q990F review
@Dinglebin Really interested to see if they offer you the full price match. Sounds like a brilliant tv but the full price is too high for my mum. Not submitted a price match yet. Waiting on your outcome. Fingers crossed!

@SiUK Total Digital don't appear to include any extra warranty but John Lewis include a free 5 year warranty. Didn't John Lewis take this into account in calculating the difference? Surprised if they didn't! When you completed their online form did you only mention the current Total Digital price and £30 delivery charge? My mum's really interested in this model if she can get this price match although she much prefers the stand on the lower UE46F7000 model. Also do you know if either do installation and for how much?

I have never worried about delivery costs etc when submitting a NKU price match, just use the online request form and put the price from the total digital website
I'm pretty sure JL offer an installation service

What MrW said
Just submit it via the online form, JL work it out, and what they are willing to match. They can take a while however. If you don't get a reply after 48+ hours or so I would resubmit it personally. I haven't heard anything back yet on the second submission yet, so I'll resubmit again tomorrow.A Toshiba 500GB Stor.E Basics USB 3.0 2.5" external hard drive (HDTB105EK3AA) and an Amazon Basics USB Cable - 3.0 A Male to Micro B 1.8m will turn this TV into a useful PVR. Simply Plug the cable into the USB port with HDD on it, the TV tests the drive, formats it, and then sets it up for recording and time shifting. The Toshiba drives are very small and inaudible! No plug, as it is powerered by TV USB.
Before getting another Tosh hard drive (I use them for the Marantz MCR610s as well) I phoned Samsung and asked them about it. They confirmed that the hard drive didn't need to have an external power supply, as long as it met the read write speed requirements, which this USB 3.0 drive does easily. If you are thinking about using a bigger drive, bare in mind that I was told that this TV can't map drives larger than 2TB, just for your info.
HTH someone.

JL Matched the Total Digital deal in the £30 delivery. £1,247 total. Just gonna wait until tomorrow to see if the Electronic Empire pm is approved. If it is then I'll be purchasing this monster for £1,199 all in. Thanks all

@Dinglebin Wow great news! This is such fantastic value for the best LED TV ever! Just looked at Electronic Empire and it says £1216 in store price inclusive of free delivery so even better! How do you get it to £1,199?
@MrW @SiUK Thanks for the info guys. Submitting a price match now as per your advice. Interesting info re the hard drive also.
@SiUK Out of interest, when you bought this TV from JL via their price match, take it they still gave you the free 5 year warranty anyway and the £150 Cash Back offer on Samsung purchases within 28 days? #whatadeal!

The 5 year guarantee is on every tv regardless. So yeah. The Samsung cashback deal has to be applied for after purchase. You fill in a form and send it to Samsung and Samsung send out the cheque, not John Lewis. You have to provide proof of purchase for the tv and the second Samsung product...which has to be equal to or greater than the cashback amount. So you need to buy another Samsung product costing more than £150 to get the cash back from Samsung and within 28 days of purchase of the tv.
@Lynne - Arrh the price was 1,199 when I submitted the pm on Monday. I took a screen dump of it in case the price increased. I suspect JL will only honour the latest price of 1,216. For the sake of 17 I won't even bother. Now what to spend the 150 cash back on? Any thoughts anyone. I can't decide between a Blu ray player (the 4k ready one at 179) or a tablet at 139.
Dinglebin said:
@Dinglebin Ah I see. Their price must fluctuate somewhat. Thanks. Just submitted a price match against Electronic Empire's current £1,216.00 price. Will let you all know if I get a reply. Thinking a Samsung-compatible tablet would be a useful purchase using the £150 Cash Back to be used alongside the tv.
Hi
No it doesn't work like that, you have 28 days after price match to try and beat it again, John Lewis will do it.
Electronic Empire doesn't work because it is a clearance website, you need to use Total Digital's website and it will definitely work.
You have 28 days to return it if you don't want it any longer.
Warranty is transferable if you decide to sell it in the future.

I assume JL add on the total digital delivery fee of £30 based upon the postcode you provide when you submit the pm. I bet if you use a Birmingham post code they don't add on the delivery fee! Lesson learnt for next time. My lovely wife has just purchased me a sonos playbar inc free bridge for my 40th next weekend. Can life get any better!
I've had 2 price matches accepted against Totaldigital, and neither of them had the £30 added on, and I live nowhere near Birmingham!
Wow! JL just priced matched again. Yippeeeee! Sorry, sorry, I'll pull myself together! No I won't :cheer: The Samsung has now cost me less the last 47 inch Panasonic that went back! That's pleased me immensely (I know I know, not obvious is it) and as the ISA I closed to buy all this gear is almost fully burned out it's nice getting a bit back ...Now I can afford a Blu-Ray film, a single malt and a box of chocolates for Xmas as well Then it's back to normal boiling worms and eating grass

Yeah, asbolutely. You never know
I think it will be a scheduled daily activity for the next few weeks, just to make sure, MrW I'm waiting patiently (!!) for a deal to come up on a 55F8000
If I spot anything on the 46, I'll post it here

@gel Thanks for letting me know. I did wonder. I'll just stick with using Total Digital price as a price match.

@MrW Did you mention Total Digital's £30 Delivery Cost under "Information about additional charges" in your price match request to JL? Sure they're aware of it but wondering if it makes a difference if you don't state it in your request?
