LG 1 year extended on OLED costs nearly 18k, iirc. For 2 years I believe they quoted 30k.

No way. 35k or 40k for 1 year. 3 years is about 90k. 

 

This is from LG. 

 

They offered me these prices thrice. Didn't buy since my C8 costed me about 1.07l, and the 3 year extra warranty was equalling the cost of the TV.

Funny thing

 

I visited Vijay Sales today for picking up a vacuum cleaner  (No Maid so wife wanted one ). While she was looking at cleaners, I was looking at TVs. The sales guy gave me a great pitch about the RU7100 and offered me a quoation of 60k for the 55" model. By that time, the missus had finished her work. I showed her the TV and after two minutes she was like "This is nice. Are we getting i?t". The sale guy's eyes lit up.

Now given that 60k was a tempting price and the high command seemed to like it, I was about to buy the TV, when a voice in the back of my head starting chanting "5ghz 5ghz"

I asked him if the TV supported both 2.4 and 5ghz bands and he said yes. I took out my phone, set the hotspot to 5ghz and asked him to connect. The Hotspot name wouldnt even appear on the TV till I switched it to 2.4ghz. 

Same thing happened for RU7470 also

Then, he went over to a Q60R and it worked, He restarted the other two TVs and still no luck. I told him flatly that I wouldn't plonk down 60k if it couldn't connect to my 5ghz router. 

I still don't know who was more disappointed, him or the missus :D

 

But it surprises me that a TV that was made in 2019 does not support 5Ghz bands.

Tell your wife and your kids if you have any to act disinterested even if the want such ( bargainable ) items.

The moment the lying sales guy sees that the customer wants a product suddenly all opportunities for haggling are shutdown, they know you are excited and will buy the product anyway, so no discounts, no offers nothing.

I dont think he lied knowingly.  

Yeah I have seen few salesman who dont even have that knowledge about the TV.. One time a guy was trying to sell Reconnect TV but didnt even know its specifications and I had to take the remote to show him the specifications.. It was sad and funny..

Salesmen lie all the time. When I went to buy my 4k led in 2018, I asked the dude if it was 10 bit hdr and he said yes but after much research found out it was 8 bit. Wasnt too dissapointed as anyway that was the max i could afford.

 

Better is to do your own research and then bargain for a deal.

 

I remember being told by a saleslady that Mac could run all the games. "Haa sir sab games chalte hai isme aap fikar mat karo" :rofl:
