It's still on their catalogue search, but when you click the link, you get a blank page.
I'm willing to bet it'll be exactly the same as all the other internet price cock-ups, i.e. you'll never get it for that price.

I think if the transaction has gone through and the money has been paid, then they do don't they?

Best hang on for 1080 Panels, then you'll get TRUE HD!
Hitachi have one at the mo, and I think Samsung have just brought one out. Not just "HD Ready" but "HD"!
some broadcasts i thought were not in 1080i, so using a tv/monitor that has a natural 1080 pixel count would mean that it still has to scale the picture. Not true hd then. Just being pedantic smallest size monitor for 1080i is 37" in the uk. 1080p is what you really want as 1080i is only showing half the picture per frame, and 1080p would show the whole frame. Doesn't arf get complicated. A salesmans dream

No, they don't. They can just say sorry there was a fault, and refund you the money. The other forum had a similar deal last year, everyone paid, then everyone got refunded and an email apology.
Then I will think you'll find they are in the wrong, once your money has gone through and been accepted, I believe that makes a binding contract, wrong or right price. So the shop has to honour it, I may be wrong, but I think thta is how it works.

No. legally they don't have to honour the transaction - they can just give a refund.

If you have a binding contract and that contract is breached, there are two remedies generally available. Perfection of the contract - ie the Court force the party in breach to comply with their obligations (which is uncommon) alternatively damages. Damages are normally to put the innocent party in the position they would be if the contract had not been breached. If the contract had not been breached you would have had the tv you ordered, not simply a refund so you should be entitled to source the same tv elsewhere buy it and claim the difference from the party in breach. Most people can't be bothered to argue the point.
However, you may not have a binding contract, there are rules governing "mistake" which can let a party wriggle out of it. But that can wait another day.
Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing? (John 7:51)

I'm not making stuff up for the hell of it  About 20 or 30 of the guys on the fiatforum paid in full for a telly that should have been about a grand, that was up for a stupidly low amount. About two days later they were refunded and whatever excuse was cited, but they did not get their tellys. Que uproar and 20 people browsing the web for something that stated the shop had to honour the deal, but strangely enough nobody got their super cheap telly.
 Coopless!

If a £60k car was on a dealership's forecourt and one of the zero's got blown away the dealership wouldn't have to sell the car for £6k. Surely the same principal applies?

Ah come on JimO, arsing around through the court chasing a cheap telly case you may or may not win Most people have a busy life and it's just not a possibility.
Well don't do it then, I am not making you do it, no-one is making you do it, do it yourself if you want to do it yourself. All I am saying, and maybe correctly which is by luck more than knowledge, is if you get charged for something at an incorrect price and then are not allowed to buy it, there is a chance you can chase that price through the courts and get it at that value.
What bearing this has on a so called busy life is beyond me

ISTR that if these cases go to court a test is generally applied to see whether the offer price was one which the buyer would think reasonable for the item.
If, for example, the telly was priced at £7.50 instead of £750 there is no way a buyer could convince the court that they thought they were getting a genuine offer, so there wouldn't be the automatic assumption of a contract being formed when the seller took the buyer's money.
£150 for a 42" LCD HD TV seems to be too low for a reasonable person to think it was a genuine offer, a fact underlined by the OP using the caption "quickly" for their original link.
Dear monos, a secret truth.
