Question Buying TV in Singapore?

Was just wondering if anyone had bought a TV in Singapore, and had it shipped over to OZ?

Not actually done it myself but am sure Tv's in Singapore work on the PAL standard so should work fine in Oz. Not 100% sure but got a feeling you would have to pay import tax on it in Oz though....

What paid duty on a TV at the airport?

I bet lots of people have bought a camera, camcorder, laptop etc en-route, taken it out of the box and got through customs without paying duty because it looks like you've brought it from home but difficult with a TV.

Get onto some Aussie electrical goods websites and compare prices to see if there is any great saving to be made if you have to pay duty - Harvey Norman etc.

I could only seen to find mostly plasma Tv's on Harvey Norman's site. We would prefer to buy a Large LCD.

I'm sure someone must have bought one at singapore...
