Dixons has reduced the price of Samsung LE40M86BD to £1074.99 as of last night, so with the 50APR07 voucher code (enter at basket page) that gives £50 discount, you can now buy it for £1024.99 including free delivery.
If it’s out-of-stock at your post code, but you’re hell-bent on locking in this price, there are a couple of ways around it (usual disclaimer you’re doing this at your own risk, I’m not responsible for your actions etc.):
- Place your order after 11pm… Dixons’ stock checker is switched off after hours and you can order anything regardless of stock level. This is of course only if you’re prepared to wait out the delivery; I spoke to Dixons this morning who said that stock will be replenished on 6 May (coming Friday).
- Order from Currys Online, which is under the same parent company as Dixons, and share the exact same warehouse distribution centre. The online price is £1099.99, but you can use voucher codes NHS192 (if you’re involved in the NHS) or TEACH5PCT (if you’re a teacher) to get 5% off, making the final price £1044.99 including free delivery. Yeah it’s £20 more expensive than Dixons, but at least you get to place the order.
Otherwise, if you’ve ordered or bought from Dixons at a higher price over the last couple of weeks, simply call them up and pleasantly explain your situation… they should refund you the difference. Call 0800 0682868 instead of the normal 0870 3331222 to avoid being charged at national rate.
I also called and was told 140 were going to be available next friday 6, May.
Does anyone know the difference between this and the LE40M87? Amazon.co.uk have for virtually the same price, the only difference I can see is that its M87 instead of M86. Please advise.
I think the differences are purely cosmetic? Same internals…
The difference is purely cosmetic, the M87 has a silver strip along the bottom of it, and has exactly the same internals as the M86.
Apparently the M86 is only available to Dixons & Currys.
Thanks for the tip. I ordered my M86 on 17th April, and with the 10% egg cash back I paid £999.
The TV was delivered yesterday, so today I called Dixons for an extra discount and got another £86 off, bringing the final price I paid for the M86 to £913 !!!! Bargain. Cheers Guys.
Spoke to Brian ar http://www.robertwhyteltd.co.uk/ and he offered the M87 with 5 years Warrentry from Axa for £ 1139.
I ordered one on the Dixons website at 10.20pm this evening. Not long left to take advantage of the 50APR07 discount. I hope they aren’t planning to re-ship customer returns from deliveries already made!
mmm…The M86 is selling like hotcakes…maybe I should get one myself…or get samsung to loan a review unit indefinitely
Just ordered my LE40M86BD from currys with todays (4-4-07) 10% extra off. went via Quidco so should see another 3% back. Within 28 days delivery – can’t wait for it!
in other words it should be about £930. Better than the store price of £1299.99 by quite some margin!
if your an NHS teacher, do you get 10%?
Hi-Spek are offering very cheap LE40M87… £929 – check it out.
Any one tested this over vga with a 360 yet at 1080p?
Did hear there were problems
Graham/Anybody
I’m looking at one of these to plug my 360 into, but was planning on using component – is there a reason why VGA would be better? The manual says it sucks in component at 1080P okay (unlike the bravia)?
Cheers
David Moore
I didnt think the 360 did 1080p through component? Well will find out friday.
