The guys over at Red Flag Deals don't think it's much of a deal, but for some of them if it isn't pricemached 8 times and their favourite brand sometimes they don't like it.
However there was mention of a Samsung for $799 at Leons.

I might be tempted to get that Samsung for $100 more. Better reputation, better reviews, 3 HDMI instead of 2.
There could also be better deals come boxing week.
