stump up or wait? 48" OLED

[roadrunner20]

Hi all,

After waiting for christmas to provide a good sale there were none for 48" OLEDs or worth, i really wanted to try a 55" as the discounts kept on going, but cannot justify the size as it would look silly in living room alcove.

Therefor 48" is the way to go, issue is, the pricing for them is stupid, even though i understand the manufacturing process it makes no sense why they are priced so badly (especially given the profit they make as a whole on their 55"s, believe tech radar even did a post about it all).

Anyway, my question is this, new OLEDs are coming out soon, but all i can see is more 55" and yes there are 42" OLEDs, i cannot see any mention of 48"s being discounted.

so what do you do if you want a 48" OLED? continue to wait, and if so for how long? or just stump up the money and be forever angry that your paying over £400 more for 7" of less tv!

To make this harder I can get a Sony A8 for £1k and abit from a well known electronic store... Yet the 48" is £699 more!

This just mental, the 55 just too big which very annoying but I feel to be penalised for going smaller is just crazy.

I guess I'll just have to wait but rumours are the new 42" are going to be even more expensive than the current 48" and no news on any price changes for current 48" models .

Tough times

just get the 55, its not that much bigger. doesn't really matter if it looks silly in the space its in as you say, all that matters is what it looks like watching it.
you may have to wait a while longer for prices to drop again, i've got a pannasonic 65" coming monday and have noticed that the prices for it have just gone back up to 2k, i assume thats similar for all makes.

don't think my wife will be to happy at first, she said the 50" was to big when we got that 8 years ago

id love to go for that, but dont think id get away with it lol.

just mental that we penalised for wanting to buy a TV that we want size wise and instead pushed into buying what's easy to produce for them. Spoke to a guy at RS and he said they cant see any 48" tvs being reduced untill after easter !
