ok i bought this TV because well, why not?

in what universe is a $225 tv not a good deal

anyway as i expected its the exact same firmware as aldis and JB hifi no name sets

the sound and DTV reception, remote is exactly the same you get from those other no name sets, ie. passable

1,920 x 1,080 performance is very good

the 5 mins i had it on my laptop and xbox one was fine

what do i like is how slick it looks, very thin frame/bezel, very light overall and the cast metal legs are nice

it looks like a high end set and the no name on the bezel suits my tastes

there is no component which is a growing trend

also the hdmi sockets are a bit low rent and slightly hard to insert but otherwise

the 3 hdmi is plenty of choice for the modern ozbb shopaholic

row of input select volume buttons on the lower right inder the bezel but since you cant see them i dont know why anyone would use them as you're poking blind

bargain of the year even ahead of the two consoles i bought from dse

NEWSFLASH: THERE IS A HEADPHONE SOCKET AS WELL AS DUAL RCA STEREO OUT

so: great buying at $249 or $299 on sale, less so at $349

    How does it display text? Does the text look fuzzy?

    Does it have a 'game mode' or 'PC mode' to turn off the image processing (as it contributes to input lag).

      completely fine for what it is, i'd say better than expected but it is a TV

      i wouldnt use it to read PDFs for example

      the text doesnt have that blue fringing that cheaper sets have

      the panasonic i have is better though

      this has no game mode, in fact i havent seen any of these no name sets with it, but saying that i dont think they need it, they seem to work fine with consoles

    Can't be wall-mounted, correct?
