    Not worth it imo

    Worth waiting for OLED and mean time get a full HD for far cheaper.

      Totally agree! That RRP is a joke too!! I'm not saying that the OP has made it up, just that that is ridiculous for what you could (or will get very soon) in OLEDs… IMO

      Isnt oled going to be 3 times the price though?

      • hollykryten on 13/02/2016 - 21:26

        Yes it is actually slightly more than 3 times the price. Refer to my comment below on the LG 65" 4K OLED model there at HN.

    • hollykryten on 13/02/2016 - 21:17

      LG already has a 65" 4K OLED selling in Australia but it will set you back a cool $8495. Any one got a spare $8.5k?. I say OLED is not cheap at all about 3.5 times the price compared to this 4K LED model in this thread.

      http://www.harveynorman.com.au/lg-65-4k-ultra-hd-oled-3d-cap…

      I find it funny that it's $8495, but select 2 years product care with it and the price rockets to $10,294. That's $1,799 for 2 years product care what a ripoff. It's basically just a glorified warranty.

  • nfenech on 13/02/2016 - 19:39

        There is marginal difference between this TV and HD.

        By the time OLED comes down at least there will be more content and you will actually see the difference.

    no deal.
    TGG had it on ebay at 2195 during NYE additional 20% off sitewide ebay deal.
    and last few days has been 2395 on TGG ebay with additional 10% off sitewide ebay deal ended yesterday.

  • Happythoughts11qq on 13/02/2016 - 23:13

    I picked this up for a few bucks over $1800 the day before Australia day from the good guys ebay store with a 20% off ebay deal and the 5% cash rewards cash back. Absolutely love the product.

    Thats a BS RRP. The uf 950t is pretty much that price.
    Also this model is the same price at bing lee and good guys right now.
    Bing lee isnt even promoting it as a sale.

    OLED won't be 'affordable' or at mainstream prices for 2 years. I agree though, 4K LED are not worth it. They're just LED at the end of the day, with all their inherent issues, 4K res or not. Not that anyone uses 4K source.

    • King Steuart on 14/02/2016 - 11:21
      +3

      I know plenty of people that insist they will have plenty of 4k content to watch once they buy their 4k tv. I just smile and nod.

      • FXx on 14/02/2016 - 21:15
        +1

        I do the same thing when I'm told that everything else (non-4k) looks so much better on their 4k panel (cause it's 4k) too.

        I'm just hoping that Sony and Samsung get on board with OLED too. They're ripping consumers by selling inferior tech(LED / LCD). Plasma has been dead for 2 years and that last ones were still better than anything LED. It sucks if you can't wait for OLED.

  • lowey71 on 14/02/2016 - 05:40

    2 HDMI ports on the LG 680 range kills it for me!

  • wherediditland on 14/02/2016 - 07:00

    For those waiting for the oleds to drop good luck.
    The cost to produce these displays are far higher due to the failure rate when producing.
    I recently bought a Samsung 65inch 4K 200htz for 2500 and u believe that's this this is now at the right price point for 4K tvs.
    Love watching 4K YouTube and as well as 4k Netflix.

    • wozz on 14/02/2016 - 07:46

      Umm isn't that exactly what happened with rear projection, then plasma, then lcd, then led lcd?
      I.e. massively expensive due to high failure rate (at least on some), followed by rapid price drops when people start buying them + manufacturing techniques improve

      • wherediditland on 14/02/2016 - 08:31

        When do you think you will see a 4k 65inch OLED for 2.5k with only one company producing them due to the high costs?

        • wozz on 14/02/2016 - 11:51

          I'm gonna be aggressive and guess within 1 year, and also guess that very soon more than 1 company will be doing it :D

          @wherediditland: I dunno about $2.5k but I'm fairly sure we'll see 65" 4K OLED under $5k this year.

          @wozz: Panasonic are already making OLED, just not in Australia. =P

        • digitalaxon on 14/02/2016 - 20:21

          @Ryballs:

          If you're referring to the THX certified OLED Panasonic recently revealed, all articles I've read about that TV suggest that it is using an LG panel but the circuitry driving it is Panasonics.

          Samsung and LG both were in the OLED game, however Samsungs manufacturing process did not scale while LG's method did allow them to ramp up production and in the process increase yields. From memory their initial yields were 20% and are now close to around the 80% mark.

        • FXx on 14/02/2016 - 21:19
          +1

          @wozz:

          I've read industry people quoted as saying it'll be 2 years(ish) before OLED is mainstream.

          But who knows, marketing managed to make most people think Plasmas were duds, and inferior to LED / LCD. Yet they were pretty much always the standard enthusiasts choice. Marketing +1. Who knows what'll happen.

        • wozz on 16/02/2016 - 06:25

          @Ripped:
          I cannot believe that led overtook plasma because of that kind of marketing! Unbelievable how well it worked, I remember doing so much research before buying my last TV.. seems crazy to me to believe a salesman and not read any further for a $1000+ purchase

  • thrice-a on 14/02/2016 - 08:44

    Can any owners comment on Web OS vs Android TV on the bravias?

    • Ryballs on 14/02/2016 - 09:29
      +1

      Web OS - Intuitive, easy to use, fast & stable.
      Android - Unpolished, buggy, sluggish & unstable.

      Don't get me wrong, Sony's Android TV has improved. It's just nowhere near as polished as WebOS.

    • digitalaxon on 14/02/2016 - 20:13

      Having bought the 65" 4K Sony Bravia @ Boxing day sales so can at least comment on experience using Android on the beast.

      Major issues:

      Bug in 3d mode with Mode: Wide popping up every few moments while watching 3d
      Random rebooting (4 times now since had the set)
      Slugging when turning on to respond to commands
      Goes from sleep to idle (20 watts idle) for 20 seconds every 4 hours (if your using a power saving board this is enough to make it think the tv has been switched on, having had speakers connected I could hear it clicking if I was in the room)
      Not full resolution 3d (its like every line is repeated 5-6 times so lower vertical resolution) - not sure if this is android related however - prolly not.
      Media browser glitchy - have to remove/add usb device twice to pick up files/media

      Nice Aspects of google as an O/S for a TV:

      Google music account ties into TV so can use TV to listen to google play music account (however thumbs up entries not in playlist)
      Can stream to it as a chromecast device from any apps that support casting
      Favourited youtube channels/shows can be accessed
      Lots of various apps such as Plex, VLC can be installed, as well as news apps, select handful of games.

      I do see using Android as a good long term solution, assuming the bugs are sorted out and more CPU grunt added to the sets.

      If you are used to the google ecosystem its a no brainer, however at times I wish there was just a 'dumb tv' mode switch on the back that would turn off android and just make the tv work like an old school tv - channel select, input select, volume and that's it.

      While I haven't used web OS outside of the showroom, I think if I had to use web OS I would feel it lacking in functionality given I'm used to having used Android on it just my two DVB channels worth

    Given Aldi were selling a $1199 65" UHD set in September 2015, I think Harvey Norman can do better on price here.

      Agreed.

      Also as are 1 year Warranties provided on sets with supposed RRP's of $4099 - its insulting of most vendors to provide such crappy warranties on such supposedly expensive sets.

      (Yes I'm aware of Consumer Laws)

      • [Deactivated] on 14/02/2016 - 20:19

        You'd think that if they had confidence in their product they'd offer longer periods on their top-tier products.

        But as you mentioned, consumer laws protect us after one year on a lot of products, especially expensive ones, anyway.
