Overview
The people of China have got a surprise in store for them this year. Especially, the ones who are Samsung fans are not going to be the ones who will be disappointed. This Chinese New Year, on January 23rd, Samsung will give the Republic of China a new gift. On the Chinese New Year, Samsung is going to release special edition of their computer monitors, and yes, along with free gifts! The special edition Samsung monitors will be custom made for the Chinese audience and will be available with a pattern on the back featuring ç¦, which means ‘Good Fortune’ in the Chinese language. The character will also have one character in red symbolizing extra good luck for those who buy it.
Pricing and availability
The Samsung monitors are not over priced as such and thus pose a great deal. The monitors come in a variety of prices, from around ï¿¥1,1056 to around ï¿¥3,499 or more as in Chinese currency. The monitors are available right now, both from online and shops, and the offer is there till the 15th of January, a week before the start of the Chinese New Year.
What’s great?
The monitors are quite good too, having LED back lit screens, HDMI input, along with complete 1080p support. There are plenty of gifts for those wishing to buy the Samsung monitors. Then there is the high speed performance and the perfect color combination with the help of Samsung’s Color Effect feature. The monitors also provide wide angle view so that you would be comfortable viewing the screen from any angle whatsoever. Samsung also is known for its great customer care and quality of its products, so the purchasing of the monitor would probably not give you any such headache. There are goodies on the side of the monitor, and what you get depends on which monitor you purchase. In fact, some of the gifts also come with a throw pillow that has the sign ç¦, and some even come with a tote bag. Then there are also gifts of a wireless mouse and a keyboard set which you could get if you are lucky. For getting these gifts though, you really need to rush up and be one of their first customers. The monitors themselves are pretty decent quality, too, featuring LED back lit screens, HDMI input and 1080p support. The offer ends on January 15th 2012, that is a week before the Chinese New Year.
What’s not so great?
The offer here ends on January 15th, a week before the Chinese New Year begins, so you need to really decide for yourself whether you want to buy this or not. For those who would come to know of the offer later, like during the Chinese New Year, they would miss out on it. To get the better gifts, you also need to be among their first customers, so you have little time to decide. Moreover, this limited edition Samsung Monitor will only be available to the people of China, and so if you are from any other place of the world, you will most probably not get a hand into this one!
Things to watch out for
It looks like Samsung is going to try to rake up good sales with the sales of these monitors, and are even trying some ‘good fortune’ to increase their sales, (with the concept of the good fortune symbol embedded on the Samsung monitors). The consumer market in China, which is slowly getting stronger and has a huge potential is one place Samsung, doesn’t want to miss out on and so might try many a things and give many a gifts to woo the customers there. The attractive gifts that are promised to be given with these laptops are sure to draw many customers and with the configurations being pretty good too, there sure will be many takers.
Verdict
The quality of the monitors that is being kept on sale are pretty good. At the price, it seems a lucrative deal too and should not be missed out. What works on the down side though is you do not know whether you will get the best of the gifts, as the best of the gifts are reserved for the first customers. Nevertheless, it is a great choice for the Chinese New Year, especially if you were planning to buy a monitor from before. Coming from Samsung, the quality of the monitors are expected to be pretty good as usual.
