That does seem good value.

Kv32fx68u - 5* in what hi-fi but Heavy at 64Kg !

The KV-32FX68S is =A3674.95 on soundandvisiononline.com

Not sure what the different letters at the end of the model code mean ie
S/U



Have you found any other 32 inch sets as I'm currently looking.

Panasonic 32pd30
Toshiba 32pz38

Hi all,

Noticed this (32" Sony Wega WS TV) on play.com this morning:
http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=3Dtitle&r=3DELEC&title=3D182195

After reading some reviews, it seems like a good deal to me. What more,
they
were selling (now sold out) the exact same TV last
week WITHOUT the stand for =A3899 (=A3350 more expensive).

Am I missing something...?

OK, so I am very tempted but the only doubt I have is over import
duty. The max I have order from play in the past was =A3285 for an LCD
Monitor/TV. This arrived by Parcel Force and was not subject to any
duties. Has anyone every been hit for import duties when buying from
play.com...?

Their T&C states the follow:
"If your delivery address is outside of Jersey, you may be subject
to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches
your country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must
be borne by you. You should note that customs policies vary widely
from country to country; Play.com advises each customer to contact
their local customs office for further information."

TIA,
Andy.
