I did search & didn't spot this one…hope it isn't a repeat.

Seems a good TV for the money (most in this range are 50hz)?

    Wasn't a fan of the pic quality of the dse TV's a few months back, main issue being slight stuttering in fast scenes, anyone vouch for this one?

    Contrast ratio seems pretty damn poor for an LED tv.

    • swimmingtoad on 10/12/2013 - 22:19

      The contrast ratio is pretty much a useless stat anyway, since there is no real standard test that all manufacturers apply, that is why you get such large disparities (on the box stats) between brands

      Actually… the contrast ratio is similar to the Sony and Samsung TVs… what you might have been thinking of was the Dynamic Contrast ratio.

      I don't know much about the contrast ratio but apparently the dynamic contrast ratio is the blown up ones like 500000:1 which is apparently useless and doesn't reflect anything or at least not much.

      What you want to look at is the static contrast ratio, which is (i'm assuming) in this case 4000:1 which is as good (on paper) as the Sony and Sammy tvs

      Most monitors static contrast, even the Dell IPS, are only 1000:1.

    This or the $349 one from JB ?

        The "C" version is 60hz
        ("A" Version is 50hz though, correct)

  • wbeer on 10/12/2013 - 22:46

    IMO, go instore and check one out. Ive seen very poor 100hz TVs.
    From an actual user experience perspective - Hz rating doesnt mean a great deal to reducing motion blur and is mostly marketing.

    Soniq's 40" is $349 @ JBHIFI for those who don't like 100hz (Lifelike motion crap)

      Soniq Tv has no headphone socket. Only Toslink so can be painful task trying to hook up some headphones or external speakers.

  • tetsuma on 11/12/2013 - 00:35

    Only tested it in store briefly, but there was a lot of input lag when I tried it out. Very noticeable delay with HDMI input but didn't check for a 'gaming' picture mode.

    Here's an interesting article on refresh rates:

    http://m.cnet.com.au/what-is-refresh-rate-339341937.htm

    Televisions are such subjective devices. It's hard to choose in-store with so many others going, the ambient lighting, & the fact that out-of-factory settings on the sets are all over the place (some are set at 50%, others at 85%, say). As I was shopping for our TV a couple of years ago, a customer was busy changing settings on nearly every set…Makes it difficult as the next one walking up to determine picture colour, contrast, quality after something like that.

    I feel that a sub-$400, 40" FHD television is pretty amazing. I just wish I needed one- lol.

    Cheers & happy shopping everyone :)

    Can only do MPEG2 which means only digital SD channels. Would have to use a set top box to get 720P although I'm happy with 540P I CAN tell the difference between the smoothness of the edges between 540p-720p, can't say the same for 720p-1080p.

    • gibbo_au on 11/12/2013 - 10:23

      What are you on about?

      All digital channels (apart from the 3D trials) are MPEG2. If and when the ACMA allow broadcasters to use MPEG4 this may be an issue, but not currently.

    I still prefer my legendary $299 40" Akai TV from previous OW deal.

      • OzBLover on 11/12/2013 - 10:15

        not really. I managed to get one but then returned as the PQ was not good enough. Maybe Im picky but I reckon the Soniq @ JB is better

  • garetz on 11/12/2013 - 08:30

    dse tvs are very bad, i would rather get kogan personally for no frills.

    Best quality tv for $300 was the Akai from officewrorks, now that's a real steal, clear and crisp image. Unfortunatly still out of stock.

      Akai? Thanks for the Lols

  • TerryJustTerry on 11/12/2013 - 14:12

    what do people think of this as a gaming monitor.
    pro's -con's?

    • ProjectZero on 11/12/2013 - 15:29

      I believe rule of thumb is… never get a TV as a gaming monitor because of the input lag. Also what do you mean by gaming monitor…

      Depends what you are willing to sacrifice… if you want high refresh so it minimises input lag then a 120hz+ monitor… if you want colour then an IPS… if you want both, then you will have to compromise and get a korean monitor (catleap etc.) which will do the job but you don't get the same "quality" as branded stuff…

      P.S. i used "quality" because it just gives a sense of comfort knowing you bought a branded item is all… there will be differences in quality of course, but i don't think it'll differ by too much.

      • TerryJustTerry on 11/12/2013 - 17:00

        i see thank you

      • CharcoaI on 12/12/2013 - 20:43

        Input lag has nothing to do with refresh rate. In relation to gaming:

        Input lag is the equivalent of pressing 'a' and an action taking place 2 seconds later (manufactures almost never specify this, only reviews from prad.de and tftcentral do to my knowledge)

        Refresh rate is how many images the screen can show per second (approximately). A 50hz TV will only display 50 images per second (perfect for 30fps gaming or 24fps TV/movies). And obviously, a 120hz TV will do 120 images per second.

        For gaming nowadays, if your planning on playing things like skyrim or GTA on a console, there's next to no input lag on most "new" LCD TVs (plasmas do still have input lag in my experience). If your planning on playing FPS (CoD/BF4) on a console; check what the game runs at. If its 60fps, the minimum you'd want is 60hz. If youre playing FPS games on PC through this; you'd definitely want a 120hz TV (or tbh, a good quality monitor)
