Not anymore. Their android TVs are rather average when it comes to input lag. Unless that's just the 4k variety?
just to clarify, when you say input lag you aren't talking about the screens refresh rate right?
No input lag is how Long the picture takes from the device/console to the screen. Very important when gaming. They do not state specs of input lag. Only way is to test it with a lag tester. Google input lag
ok fair call. I see a lot of specs discussed and compared on ozbargain but I feel like input lag does not come up often. I know you said to google it but…is there seriously significantly variable lag over hdmi?
@hetzjagd: yes, some games like cod can be unplayable on some new large screens that have 100ms+ input lag.
i have a leo bodnar tester and will be testing the model before i purchase
How is this compare to the Sony KD55X8500C deal ($1473 - $110 cashback) that was around a few weeks ago?
they are two different Tv's, some people arent fussed wether its 4K or not as they do not have 4K content to play, i for example only use foxtel so the Full HD TV is good enough, and the fact its $500 cheaper is a bonus.
Is Foxtel HD really 1080p - i recall reading its only 720p…. and what about the standard Foxtel Box - is that like 560p or 1080i?
Foxtel HD is 1080i. ESPN is 720p.
@jelko: Thats bollocks right… 1080i is worse than 720p
Amazing price. I paid $1200 for the 50inch version in the last eBay 20% off sale and thought that was good!!
TV has been great. Picture is fantastic and Android tv is a good interface.
Op, that Good Guys promotion required purchase by the 23rd November - need to remove it.
NVM
My bad, good pickup, i read it as 30 November!
should i wait till boxing day?
not really.. after you take into account the 20% off - even on boxing day you are only risking another $50-100 discount if you are lucky. I would pull the trigger if you're in the market for this sort of tv
Is it the same TV as this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/222078 ?
no because the other one is a refurbished unit.
thanks!
just for the sake of future proofing big purchases .. i think i'll wait till 4k screens drop in price instead. I've had my Panasonic for 6+ years now which i got when FHD was just starting .. :)
There's no such concept as future proofing in technology. You're only delaying the upgrade for 'x' amount of years before you get something faster and cheaper.
Lol. I bought it from them for $500 more last week. That's life.
If you bought it instore you probably can get your money back.

you can't
They don't price guarantee themselves, only with competitors. I've tried this already and got knocked back. Luckily a competitor had a special the following week and had to honour it.
Any bargains on wall mounts for this TV?
Selby used to sell a unit for 27, out of stock now.
yepyep
@mrgeckoz: Thanks :)
The NZ 1 day site often has the flexible wall mounts for around $25. Handy to extend off the wall and into the room for those christmas duets with kylie.
Dang. Would have snapped this up about 3 months ago! Oh well. Happy enough with my KDL50.
Looks like out of stock now… :(
Yep out of stock :-(
Seems to be back in stock already
$1000 tv if you live in America :)
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KDL55W800C-55-Inch-1080p-Smart/dp…
Well we pay an extra $100 for something with IQ
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/hd-televisio…
Also doesn't it matter where you live? There is stock in NSW and VIC.
no more click n collect?
edit: seems to be all right now.
Refurbished model. Cheaper by nearly $100 if delivered? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SONY-KDL55W800C-55-Inch-Full-HD-L…
It is cheaper at JB https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/hd-televisio…
check the size mate..Its 50
Yes jibupaul, u r right, my bad.
Will JB price match with the ebay discount?
Have JB vouchers I need to use.
Hmm.. I have no options for click and collect..?
I didn't either but I just wore the delivery price. Too good to miss when it keeps coming in and out of stock… Apparently
Good for you buddy!! My ozbargain instincts kicked in and I just couldn't do it!! Haha..
So I'll probably wait another 6 months for a similar deal.. And then wait because I am unsure about it until I have a few beers.. And then miss out.. Ah crap.. :(
out of stock
The 4K Sony 55" TV is way too glossy and reflective for me to be comfortable after buying it
Lag tests at 70ms not great. Panasonic is a better choice at 46ms
how do you know this? I read the lag for the Sony is much less?
See this: 37.4 ms http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/w800c
bought it for C&C and was told for out of stock.
3-4 weeks wait, should i cancel it or wait…
Great TV. The Sony TV's also feature some of the best input lag response times for gaming. ;)
