Samsung LA40R71B (R7 40-inch LCD)
The LA40R71B aunched last month and the brainchild of its Imagine campaign, Samsung’s R7 series LCD TVs are in league of their own among their Korean peers. Decked in enveloping gloss finish and clean lines, the series presents a distinctively polished design expected of premium brand names the likes of Bang and Olufsen and Loewe. We taken a closer look at the LA40R71B beyond its pretty face to ascertain its worth at an extravagant S$8,099 (US$5,125.30) price tag.
The LA40R71B is an absolute stunner that ranks high in wife acceptance factor but comes second-rated for value. Its aesthetic extravagance is a groundbreaking initiative yet risky gamble undertaken by Samsung in its ongoing campaign to woo consumers’ dollars. Will the increasingly affluent but price-sensitive Asian be convinced to part his dough for fancy facade? Perhaps we will get a hint in the R7s’ successors.
