    The Sony car audio prices are normal JB prices. Am I missing something about the 20% off?

    • TRENT86 on 27/11/2014 - 02:48

      Yeah they aren't showing the discount, they are def discounted, the catalogue shows some items like the 4050 for $178, here is catalogue so you can see the before prices

  • disrupt3r on 27/11/2014 - 08:07

    The ad says its the KD65X8500B which is the 65" model number at $1698. I wander if someone could get away with buying that model number?

      I doubt it, the 65" is $3200

    • odysseus on 27/11/2014 - 09:08

      The ad also says 55" (which the KD65X8500B is not), so obvious typo.

  • ca6leguy on 27/11/2014 - 08:31

    TV is only 50hz.

    • educalifa on 27/11/2014 - 09:05

      Are you sure? TGG have the 49" on special as well (pretty cheap I might add) and it says it's 100Hz…

        Motionflow xr200 = 50hz

        Motionflow xr800 = 200hz

        • educalifa on 27/11/2014 - 11:52

          That's good to know! I had an old LCD Toshiba 50Hz and it truly sucked at sports and even PS3… Mate had exactly the same TV but with a 200Hz panel and the difference, especially on the PS3, was night and day!!

        • TRENT86 on 27/11/2014 - 12:33

          @educalifa: I have an old Samsung 50hz and play games online watch AFL And other sports and never noticed a problem

        • educalifa on 30/11/2014 - 14:27

          @TRENT86:

          Wait till you try it against a 200hz panel

        • TRENT86 on 30/11/2014 - 14:51

          @educalifa: well as I said I have no lag at all playing now so what would I notice?

        • educalifa on 30/11/2014 - 16:23

          @TRENT86: The lag I can't say… but you do notice how much more fluid the images are on the higher Hz panel. Say, for example, if you're playing a FPS game, when you turn around chances are you won't have to readjust your aim half as much due to how smooth things happen. When watching fast paced sports (I noticed heaps on MotoGP) it almost feels like they've slowed things down a bit.

      • WatchNerd on 27/11/2014 - 10:36

        Saying that a TV is "only 50Hz" means nothing really unless you explain it.
        It just shows that you have fallen for the marketing hype and don't really know anything.

        Is there any non-curved, non-3D, 55/60" 4k 100Hz minimum HDMI2 screens under $2k TRENT86? In my research…

        • educalifa on 27/11/2014 - 12:03

          Yeah, I'm on the same boat… I think I'll wait for the 2015 line up. Samsung will be offering most TVs with at least 100Hz and HDMI2.0 so here's hoping they'll have some affordable model at a decent size(i.e. 50"+ and around 1.5K)

        • McFly on 27/11/2014 - 13:32

          I think I'll wait for the 2015 line up

          @TRENT86: Sweet BUT, it doesn't have WebOS.

          The 850 does and is $1699 at DJ's http://shop.davidjones.com.au/djs/ProductDisplay?urlRequestT…

          But not sure if that includes 10-15% off as per this deal http://www.davidjones.com.au/Whats-On-and-Events/2014/11/Christmas-Comes-Early?cm_sp=HP_Hero--w118_3DayOffers--ShopAllOffers

          If so it could be $1444-1529…

          @aimbot: WebOS Isn't worth hundreds more, you still get web browser, smart tv and magic remote

      Are there any TV screens out there that are higher than 3840 x 2160?

    • aeon on 27/11/2014 - 09:58
      +1

      Looks like that's the case for all 4k TVs:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution

      4K has become the common name for ultra high definition television (UHDTV), although its resolution is only 3840 x 2160 (at a 16:9, or 1.78:1 aspect ratio), which is lower than the 4K industry standard of 4096 x 2160 (at a 19:10 or 1.9:1 aspect ratio).

      The television industry has adopted UHDTV as its 4K standard.

      • McFly on 27/11/2014 - 12:49

        Reminds me of when the HDD manufacturers decided that a Megabyte was 1,000,000 bytes.

    • stupidmansuit on 27/11/2014 - 11:56

      I don't think any of the '4k' TVs are actually 4k - they are all UHD. But I could be wrong.

  • maximus1974 on 27/11/2014 - 11:52

    Hmmm. Wonder if the price drop is because Panasonic seem to be releasing a new model (AX670) 55" UHD TV? See here: http://www.dicksmith.com.au/tvs/panasonic-55-139cm-4k-ultra-…

    I can't find much information about this AX670, except on Harvey Norman's New Zealand website. I think this new AX670 is probably the Australian equivalent to the AX700 in Japan…..

    • TRENT86 on 27/11/2014 - 12:35

      Nah it it was in comp it would be lowered permanent

  • yacman on 27/11/2014 - 13:32

    My research indicated that the sony with the panasonic not far behind it is the best UHD TVs on the market.

    These prices have dropped rapidly on the past 3 months, when I was looking at the KD65X8500B around June/July it was going for $4,500.

    Such an insane price drops happening so rapidly I saw this is just a holdover period while the real standerd of 8K and OLED comes into play in the coming months/years. I decided to wait a year or 2 before I personally upgraded.

    • PVA on 27/11/2014 - 18:41

      By then you will be waiting for the new standard 16K laserLED TVs, and then wait a bit more for 24K TVs ….. you can wait forever and in the meantime you have years of your old TV. Buy what suits you right now, not what may be in the future (distant future for electronics).

      • yacman on 28/11/2014 - 12:26

        I understand where your coming from but your clearly missing my point.
        What I am saying is tech is in a transitional period at the moment, look at the rapid decline in prices on the UHD TV's in the past few months, I feel so sorry for people who purchased recently.

        I'm not saying to wait for ever, but big shifts in tech don't happen very often, every few years, we are currently in the early stages of that change (4K TV's available but how much content is available?) by the time there is enough 4K content to justify the purchase of a 4K TV they will be at realistic and affordable prices. Then what will be regarded as a premium TV will be OLED technology for example, or potentially 8K.

        Now the idea of "wait for 8K" then 16K etc.. at that point wouldn't be the mindset the thought process would be that this is a significant shift in tech, that won't move much in the near future, So I will take advantage of the fact that some of it is on the market, forcing the lowering of prices of the current tech (that is still very new)

        I wrote that in a rush so I hope it made sense.

    • Klang on 27/11/2014 - 19:09

      Don't hold your breath. 8K is not coming in 2 years time. Not according to this article and Sony.

      • asa79 on 28/11/2014 - 08:16

        Tokyo Olympics will be recorded in 8k res

      • yacman on 28/11/2014 - 09:51

        Amazing read, thanks for the article, very informative, but as said in the article, they did not expect 4K to come in so fast, I suspect the case to be the same with 8K, it was published over a year ago, tech is moving fast, I'm not saying I will wait for an 8K TV but I am saying that I'll wait for OLED and 4K or 8K if they get there in 2 years.

    If they were giving away 4 sets of 3D glasses, I would buy that 55" TV… I don't 'need' one, but I do WANT one!… then again a work mate I believe bought this same model, when they were giving away a PS4 with them via redemption.

  • PVA on 27/11/2014 - 18:37

    do Sony TV have built in cinavia? I know the PlayStations and all BluRay players do.
    What if I plug a hard drive with movies on it into the Sony 4K TV will it pop up a cinavia warning for some?

    • Klang on 27/11/2014 - 18:55

      No problem playing mkv on my Sony 4k TV. It can also stream mkv from your computer.

    FYI the movies are:
    Captain Phillips
    The Amazing Spider Man
    The Amazing Spider Man 2
    Ghostbusters
    Premium Rush
    SALT
    Battle: Los Angeles
    Money Ball
    The Patriot
    Total Recall (I assume this is the new one so that makes 9 movies available… at most)

    BTW, the movies need to be unlocked over the Internet and expire on 30/9/16.
