HOLIDAY AUDIO/VIDEO SHOPPING

• April 16, 2018

Like many Red-blooded Americans, this year we will participate in “Black Friday”. While there are many deals to be had, there are many things to look out for when you see a deal that is too good to be true.

Before we get started, just call us and let Dynamiq A/V help with your A/V needs.

The Stripped Down TV:

Sure we don’t expect much when we see a Coby or Emerson TV on sale, but when a Samsung 55” for $350.00, we are quick to salivate. It is only when we get that puppy home that we find out it only has 2 HDMI inputs, one USB port and a very “crude” remote. Yes, it is about $250 less because they took out $250 worth of features. Did you also notice that it is 2 inches thicker that the $600.00 TV, and it lacks any smart features? Let’s say you managed to get your hands on one of these TVs (they only carry a limited quantity of these door busters) to begin with. Look up the model number and do you research. As long as you know what you are getting all is well.

Price Match Guarantee:

Did you know that some of the big box stores convince manufacturers to change one letter on the model number of their products an make it available on to them? They then tell you they will match the price knowing full well you won’t find that exact model number anywhere else. And that’s all I have to say about that.

TV Gifting:

A premium Sony or Samsung TV is always a great gift idea, but many people don’t give much thought to having it installed. If you are already considering purchasing a TV, it makes a lot of sense to get it installed by a professional. An authorized dealer will be able to sell, deliver, and install your TV with little inconvenience to you. Gifting a TV with installation is as easy as making a phone call. Consider the following when thinking about gifting a TV with Dynamiq A/V:

We deliver the TV at no charge
We will install the TV at our everyday low pricing
Some 4K TVs qualify for free installation
The TV will cost the same as a big box store
Buyer Beware:

Purchasing from an unauthorized dealer may bring you a low price on a name brand electronic, but there are also consequences that these dealers hope you don’t know. At Dynamiq A/V, we stress to our customers that just like purses designer wear, there are bootleg versions of audio-video equipment. Of course this concerns many major brands who have made their stellar reputations on quality equipment. They have set out to enforce quality standards with authorized dealers-installers at the front lines informing and protecting customers. The way they enforce this is by not honoring their warranty when your equipment needs servicing. This is many times not worth the %50.00 you will be saving on the item. Many manufacturers will gladly provide you a list of companies not authorized to sell their products. Always verify an individual you are purchasing from is an authorized dealer for the brands they are selling.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a high-end audio-video component no matter what the season. Always remember that Dynamiq A/V can help our customers with advice, equipment, suggestions, etc. Our quotes are always free and we have appointments to fit your schedule.
