The link is for their Singapore site. The new US models are *LE857U.

that spec page is not up yet IIRC

What's the best price people have seen for the Sharp Aquos LC80LE844U 80-inch and where did you see/buy it?

Who has the best price/tax/delivery on the Sharp LC80LE844U - 80" LED this weekend?

Thanks in advance!

If you want an authorized dealer, look at these, be sure to scroll down,

If you aren't concerned about authorized dealers, some of these will probably be cheaper,

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

I'd like to get a price match at BB for an internet price, so, any tips on getting the PM at BB would be appreciated.

Please chime in if you find a PaulsTV Coupon Code on the Sharp Aquos LC80LE844U 80-inch.

Any update on what people are paying for this TV? $3800 delivered good price from online?

Which model??

That's what i paid for mine, included 2 pairs of 3D glasses

Has anyone heard or seen any great deals on the LC-80LE844U recently? I spoke with Sears and they said their first shipment of the new models will be the first week of April. I imagine this will be the month to grab last years model at a great price and maybe some bundled glasses.

Personally I'm looking at the LC80LE632U model, don't really want or need 3D. Starting to see some nice deals out there...Paul's TV showing $3,499 with free white glove delivery and U.S. Appliance quoted me $3,297 with free white glove---probably go with that one in a couple weeks.

I'm sure there are deals on the 844 also, you probably have to call them.

Hi,

East Coast TV has the LC80LE632U for $3209 with no taxes and free shipping. Is this a good online company? Any better prices out there?

Laz

There is a variety of info on East Coast TV's, some good, some not so good. For me the biggest thing is that they are not listed as a Sharp authorized online dealer (as far as I know). Places like Paul's TV and U.S. Appliance are and with less than a $100 difference (at U.S. Appliance) it wouldn't be worth it for me to use East Cost TV's. Many have said positive things about U.S. Appliance.

YMMV,

Rich

My local BB matched buytvtoday.com without batting an eye. They didn't even look at who they were matching just looked the TV listing and matched it. As it turns out all 1/3 of each side of the screen the whites were pink. My new TV is being delivered Tuesday no hassle. I'm a new fan of face to face local buying.

I'm hoping to get just as lucky. Looking at Best Buy's price match policy, it is very strict on which websites they match. There are a few websites listing the LC-80LE844U at $3800 but none are considered "Sharp Authorized Resellers". It would be nice to buy it at Best Buy using a reward zone card, getting premium silver then receiving a free ISF calibration.

So if they're not an authroized Share dealer and they sell a new unit, what does that mean? Does that mean I'm not covered under the Sharp warrenty?

I think they are still covered under the manufacturers warranty but you can't (generally) price match sites at brick and mortar stores if they are not a factory authorized reseller.

Wherever you decide to buy (online), make sure you really check them out. There are a variety of threads on East Coast TV's. I'd also make sure you are comfortable with their return policy. For instance, part of East Coast TV's policy says this:

for televisions 50"+ and major appliances:

.[content skipped]...If there is a problem with the merchandise from the start, that will be caught upon delivery. Upon delivery you, the customer will inspect and test your merchandise for any physical damage or defects. If you find your products to be damaged or defective in any way, the delivery may be refused and replacement merchandise will be shipped to you right away. If the item is delivered and it is not defective or damaged, you will be required to sign the delivery manifest which states the items were delivered in good and working condition. If you have a problem after the items are delivered and the delivery manifest has already been signed we cannot accept a return on the item.

The highlighted part is what would concern me. If there is something about the TV that I don't like a week after it is delivered, I'd rather not have to deal with the manufacturer's warranty. Other dealers like U.S. Appliance allows a 30-day return of TV's.

Again, saving $100 would not be worth it to me to buy from a place like East Coast, but maybe it would be to someone else.

Rich

Send me a PM and I'll give you my contact info. You can buy from any BB and have it delivered to you or the the store nearest you. I spoke to the GM and she said as of March they are getting really aggressive on price matching. They are unhappy with just being a showroom and figure a half a loaf is better than no loaf.

Thanks bigbone! I stopped by the local BB after work to see what they would say and I'm amazed. They matched fassie.com @$3799.99, free delivery and two free glasses. Also, they didn't push the calibration and extended warranty too much. With a reward card, this puts me in silver status and I'll get a free calibration after a month or so of use.

Thank you... My friend was able to get BB to match East Coast TV price of $3809 plus tax. BB is in San Jose, CA.

anyone try BuyTVToday? looks like their price $3649 for 80LE844U is the lowest I can find, but I assume they accept cheque only?

All of these last posts are GREAT NEWS to me!!! I've been eyeing the 70" Sharps for a couple months. And was going to go buyu that cheap "downgraded version" of the 600U tomorrow! But, IF I can talk Best Buy into matching an online store's price on an 80" then I'll be watching the BIG Screen tomorrow night!!!!!

I bought my 80 sharp from buytv, worked out great!

I spoke to Sharp C.S. a few days ago regarding Full array vs Edge lit in 2012 vs 2013 model, etc...
This is what I was told:

• New 2013 80" models will carry new model numbers. So if I buy an LC80LE844U model, it's 2012 and it is Full array lit
• He wasn't 100% certain if 2013 80" model will remain Full array or Edge lit
• I can call up Sharp and purchase Extended warranty directly from them up until before the standard warranty expiration, which I found pretty impressive. The quoted price was much lower what are offered on-line. More research is needed to have an apple-to-apple comparison

This past weekend a BB sale staff managed to get me to close a deal, even though I wasn't prepared when I visited the local BB, for the following reasons:

• He matched the price of an "among the most reputable" on-line store, which has been offering the best on-line price in the US. The only drawback here is he included the $250 express delivery charge which would have been the same charge from that on-line store for the reason that BB will deliver in just a few days. The free shipping on the best price on-line store would have been 7-14 business days (10 days to 3 weeks). I certainly would wait to save money if the deal offered me that, but having it in 3 days vs. 3 weeks is an easy decision
• He also included 2 pairs of the better model 3D glasses
• Unfortunately, the sale tax is also an extra, comparing to buying it from that on-line store
• With a purchase of this item, I automatically become a BB Reward Zone Premier Silver member, which provides me a complementary ISF-certified calibration, which in my opinion a MUST-have expense for this 80" TV
• Last, but definitely not least, is this purchase is eligible for a 24-month interest free payment plan, if paid in full, the only financially possible arrangement that I c/would buy this set

I've been looking out for this item in nearly 2 months, and am very aware of the price/trend across US stores, including on-line stores. I'm very please with this outcome, and wanna share with everyone.
Btw, even if I have to pay a little more, I'd always choose to buy BB, because of their standing behind their sales.
