Actually im not sure if thats the one they are selling wit the above link for that price.
On the catalogue they dont give the model it just says-
32" Widescreen LCD TV-1366x768 resolution-2000:1 Dynamic Contrast-High Definition Inputs

The one at JB for $1396 will be the M series model, This is now EOL and has been replaed by the R series which you posted in the link. It has game mode and HD tuner built in.

I got the LA32R71BDX 2 weeks ago and its awesome for me :)

EOL? Whats that mean man?
Is it still good? Do you know where i can find any reviews for it?
And also with the one you got how much are they and can you post some pics of it?

I just want to make sure im getting a decent one that will last me for a LONG time

To help sort out the confusion

The panel you have linked to is the R series, this is the top of the line latest model with built in HD tuner and HDMI

the M series Flaps is refering to is the old model with no HD tuner built in and DVI instead of HDMI, though still a very decent panel.

the model in the JB ad is the T series, which is a very basic panel compared to the previous 2, think of it as samsungs economy version.

Sorry thats my work talk... EOL = End Of Life. I believe the M series is being phased out. I saw JB Hi FI had this model for sale about 4 weeks ago for around $1600?

I got my R series very cheap due to a staff discount purchase. If you shop around and bargin you could get one for $1800 if your lucky.

There is a thread a few pots down about the M series. http://www.xboxworld.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=46815
