Looking back on this post, I'm very glad we took advantage of this, because offers of 50 interest free payments simply don't exist any more, making $290 a month seem like a steal.
The same TV (43" LG 4K) is now around $22,000 (was $15,000) and the most you could expect is 12 payments now.
Not the Fernandez variety one hopes 
Display MoreWhat do you do with your old TVs?
I saw in the classified section on La Nación (Monday issue) a series of charity ads of some schools looking for flat TVs.

I have our LG 32" LCD (2010) on Mercadolibre, but it's awash with used TVs at the moment.
Anyway, I decided to pen a few words about it all:
For reasons of my personal safety, it may be advisable for me to wait till after the World Cup.
It was a long road for us to get to a Smart TV, which probably deserves an article in itself.
Anyway, now that we have one, I've put my custom built AMD based PC up for sale and now that we only use Cablevision for news and sport, we are surely paying over the odds, but nowadays you have to have both TV and Internet in the same package. I'll need to double check that though.
We're paying around $2000 per month for 50Mb and a standard Cablevision HD pack.
If I could find a way to go Internet only, I surely would.
In the end I bought an LG 300w sound bar with woofer and the sound is stunning. I was going to get a Sony 80w or a Philips 120w, but since it has more power and is the same make as the telly (LG) making syncing a little easier, I went for it. Besides, the high-end sound bars are ludicrously expensive here CruiseJunki
Just need to adjust the lip sync and we're done!
I suppose it's fair to say that TV speakers aren't the best. In fact the other night I was watching Gladiator on Netflix and the dialogue wasn't clear at all, with all the other sounds being very much louder.
I'll be buying a soundbar during our trip to the UK in August then 
Okay Sr Guru, I've a couple of questions for you.
MIL's TV is set up with Cablevision HD connected through an HDMI cable and when I set the TV up for her, I went to auto tuning and it found all the channels through HDMI, which means she can use the remote to now change TV channels. When i did the same on ours which alos has Cablevision HD. it couldn't find any channels 
I have to say that I prefer Netflix in a browser because those show previews are incredibly annoying in the TV app and what's worse, you can't turn the preview sound off, like you can in the browser. I've read that this is a common complaint.
I loved the set up by the way. It's one of the most exciting parts.
Edit:
Found this interesting article.
It all started when my mother in law (MIL) began watching The Crown at my sister in law's house, as she stays there on weekends and wanted to carry on watching when she got home. At first I recommended a Chromecast, but she wasn't very happy controlling it with her phone, which I had to agree with. I then explained what a Smart TV does, in spite of never having used one myself and she was completely sold. The only thing we needed to agree on was the size as she thought 32" was perhaps a little small. She already has a 32" LCD non-smart for the living room, so I suggested that if she were to buy a new one, it should be a little bigger as she wanted it for her bedroom, as many people here do.
A few weeks passed and on Tuesday a lady came for a new laptop set up which she'd bought in 50 credit card payments with a certain bank and I told Adri about this, who then relayed the info to her mum. Next day we zoomed over to Rodo at Unicenter and came away with a 43" Phillips Smart TV for $11,000 at 50 payments of $220, interest free.
Setting it up was a breeze and I particularly liked the remote with a qwerty keyboard on the back. Then I set her up with Netflix, sharing our account, all her favourite TV channels and she was happy as Larry when I left, which is always a heart warming feeling especially since she's 82 and lost her husband last year.
Anyway, when I got back home, the cogs began to turn and Adri and me agreed that, with inflation and the Dollar going the way they are, we ought to take a similar deal. So, two hours after buying the Phillips for MIL, I was back at Unicenter eyeing up an LG 43" UHD/4k Smart TV, gobsmacked at the picture quality and the Magic Remote which uses an on screen pointer. Within less than ten minutes I was walking out of Unicenter with another TV under my arm, this time at $15,000 and $290 per month, interest free. Everyone more or less agrees that that the monthly payments will be pretty insignificant this time next year, for the reasons stated above, but I'm still trying to figure out how the stores/banks handles these arrangements.
The size of the TV is just right; any larger and it wouldn't have fitted where we wanted it. In fact, I had to put a slab of glass on the TV cabinet because of the width.
I had been holding out against a Smart TV for ages, using the PC underneath, but I can now see how remarkable these gadgets are now. The picture is stunning and with more and more UHD content on Netflix becoming available, I'm delighted with it as the detail is incredible.
Later,I mentioned it to my daughter, who then told me she has a 58" Samsung UHD, which kind of floored me.
