as i think, usually the pricing from those small shop and hypermarket wont be much difference...
mostly small shop will markup higher bit and of cos hypermarket will be cheaper...
small shop may provide better service since we can direct with the boss but may no for hypermarket because deal with staffs only, they may show "ugly" face while servicing you...
if u dont mind u can approach direct to distributor instead, at least u can do warranty replacement easily without going thru middle man... the toshiba distributor located at glenmarie U1, should easier for you toward...

dannyl77,

maybe u should ask the shop whether the price is included transportation and installation...
and how long is their warranty they provided... some is expensive with longer warranty tenure and 0% installment
like the SENQ usually sell more expensive than hypermarket but with better service and warranty...

for 32" LCD RM1680, the cost price almost there, maybe no included transportation and cash & carry...
or maybe any warranty issues refer direct to distributor instead...
just afraid that they may provide u the used units, so be mind on the packaging's sealing...
like carrefour they always selling sample unit with different pricing... if anything wrong guarantee they will serve you...
as i remember harvey norman at sunway pyramid selling 32" LCD Samsung with RM17XX last week, quite worth as well...

both also got pros and cons, depend on you how to justify and your requirements...
