How is that better?
Sales starts early for Prime members anyway and this is just classic Game theory. There is no way that the sales don't start on the same date.
How is that not better? If someone wants to buy some items and is waiting for the sale. If it starts early, he can buy those things early! Unless I am missing the point here.

Historically, the discounts have been lesser when the sales have been farther than the dussehra.

Ohhh sh*t! I was afraid you are gonna say that. f**k this sh*t man!!!

I am looking to buy a few appliances myself and even last year the offline prices beat out these sales handedly on Dussehra.

Online there has always been a correlation with the proximity to Dusshera and Diwali, i remember that they extended the sale last time and few of the appliances in my watchlist actually got cheaper towards the end of those sales.

But this can always not be the case.

Don’t worry there will be another mini-sale before Diwali. But majority of the deals will be available in the current one. It has happend before also. And for those who want to buy for Diwali can buy now also (am I wrong here?).

 

Besides, I think CAIT will appreciate that Diwali sales is left to retail stores largely. Makes everyone happy.

Can someone suggest a 32 inch monitor?

 

I am looking for best and rich colors with excellent HDR support 

Good HDR in monitors is a tough ask. 
Look for monitors with VESA HDR 600 (at least) or 1000 certification. But can get as expensive as OLED TVs. 

Most of the cheap HDR monitors can’t even get close to 350 nits. It looks worse.

I heard iPhone 12 getting a fat discount, going down to 55K on Flipkart's sale?

 

I'm only an Amazon Prime member, sale starts 2nd October midnight or at noon?

Hoping they match that deal, plan to get an iPhone 12 for my dad. 

 

Frankly, might get one for myself also - just haven't decided yet.

I am planning to buy a side by side refrigerator. Should I go out and try in local stores or get it during the sale?

Don't buy expensive TV, Fridge etc online, IMo. The customer service offered by good offline store is much better.  Prices are also better offline on these items.

If you decide to buy from a store try to go a big retailer who has multiple outlets (croma, vijay, reliance), check out high end appliances (in the category you want to buy) even if its above your budget, ask the salesman if he has any rejected pieces and check them out. Rejected pieces are usually stuff that got a dent or stratch while transportation or storage and is not fit for sale. The internals will be fine and you’ll get the standard warranty like any other unit.
 

DO NOT simply go and ask for it as theyll reject it outright and this mostly wont work with budget caegory. One of my friend got a 1.2 l refrigerator just before covid for some 70~75k. Try it out, you might land a good deal

Thanks for the inputs ?

 

My budget is 1 lakh . I am looking towards a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser. I zeroed in on a LG one. Will go and check the local stores during the weekend. I actually want to exchange my current one also.

Try to find a double door (top+bottom) fridge with a water+ice dispenser.

The side by side ones have absolutely no management. Horizontal space is cut in half and you can hardly put one tray or big bowl at one level. There is absolutely no need to have a freezer taking up half of the area.

While a top+bottom fridge offers greater area and flexibility.

Go with LG only, Samsung is not good for the long run.
