Above your comment.

@JV
It looks bent…
It's a curved screen, JV. An S-curve at that.
False advertising. It's not one of those fancy curved TVs at all, does seem to be a smart TV though: http://www.bauhn.com.au/product-listing/48-4k-ultra-high-def…
Catalogue special
anyone has experience with similar Bauhn 4k tv and their quality?!!
quite possibly…
if you're not happy with it, just return it within 60 days for a full refund…
Or…, to put it another way, free TV for 60 days.
I think it is pointless, no 4K broadcast of freeview, and the picture quality was not that good anyway as confirmed on whirlpool
Returned with no fuss thanks to the 60 day policy.
Might be a newer model, no brainer return so have a go if you want and report back.
hey there are other posts here about 4k tv. You might find some feedback there. (I think the general consensus is that they are OK as long as you don't intend to use it for gaming. )

I think this is similar to the one I bought recently and it's NOT a smart TV. But it's still a good TV. And the 60 day warranty is a satisfaction warranty. If you don't like it for any reason you can take it back no questions asked. The regular warranty is at least a year if not two.
A 4k really should be a smart TV… How else do you get content to it?
the official page says its smart TV so not sure
Via HDMI devices
Is this German engineered? I read somewhere the panel is the same as a Bosch stovetop.
I read somewhere the panel is the same as a Bosch stovetop.
I read somewhere that it heats up like one.
Well played
I got the 65" version and I wish I hadn't.
I takes forever to turn on - from the press of the button on the remote it would take approx 30 sec before I get a picture on the screen.
Changing channels, settings, volume etc is extremely slow aswell - you can count seconds before it responds.
And yes, I have updated to the latest firmware.
Thanks for the review!
So it would be a perfectly good deal for someone (I) who wouldn't mind those less than a minute delays? (main use for movies)
How's the actual screen though?
I wouldn't use TV on it. I plan on just hooking up a Playstation and a computer for multimedia.
By the way, you should be able to avoid the laggy issues by using a TV box.
I wish I hadn't.
Why didn't you return it within 60 days and get a full refund?
This is in my HT room and is not my main tv so I'm not always using it . When it finally clicked that the UI was crap it was outside the return period.
I have this connected to my htpc and only use it to watch movies/music. My computer has finished booting and I'm still waiting for the picture to come on.
Screen is good and even very good for some movies however for others it's bad - eg oceans 11, 12, 13 where it's quite dark and has a lot of red it looks like I'm watching a cartoon at times (it's like looking at one of those cartoon camera apps you have on your phone - I'm using standard settings btw).
Hope this helps.
Its curvature is off topic, so here is the link to the Bauhn website where people might actually see it: http://www.bauhn.com.au/product-listing/48-4k-ultra-high-def…
cheap tvs are cheap tvs , you buy for price and size not quality of picture or being user friendly.
4k effects number of pixels but has little to do with quality of picture in a cheap tv.
if you can get a 1080p tv cheaper you may as well get that
Can you provide some links to those claims please? I've read that some of these devices have great panels with excellent upscaling. Just shitty software, 'smart features' and bad/slow UI's, all of which can be mitigated with external devices.
i dont need links to claims
you should never buy a tv from reviews , just go into any major retailer and look at one in comparison to a brand name watching regular tv.
sure tv manufacturers share panels but when it comes to software and colour engines and other tech that is generally made by or for the brands themselves especially on their mid to high end.
now if you go in and you think the picture is great and the sound is good enough on a cheap tv then you sir have yourself a deal
the tvs i own are Samsung plasma ( main room ) , Sony lcd ( gaming ) , Hisense lcd ( computer room ) Hisense lcd ( kids tv )
I'd argue reviews are going to be far more accurate than comparing in shops, unless the shop in question is going to isolate the source (i.e. allow you to play a sample file via USB or allow you to plug a Blu-Ray player into each television separately) and then allow you to change the picture settings, as well as dimming all of the lights in the show-room to best replicate the viewing experience you'll have in your house. It's pretty much actually impossible to accurately gauge picture differences in store.
I'd also argue sound is the last thing I'd look for in a flat panel. A sound-bar is pretty much the bare minimum to get anything approaching decent sound out of any television (regardless of that tv's price tag). The picture quality difference between an average tv and a high quality tv is much lower than the sound difference between the speakers that come attached and a sound-bar.
I don't think "going into a major retailer" is a fair estimate of the quality either.
The regular viewing experience is rarely in a highly lit room (such as jb hifi) and nobody ever watches their tv next to 20 other panels. Its a poor estimate of a TVs viewing experience.
I have seen cases where panels are purposely set up poorly to enhance the image of other screens next to it giving it inherent bias.
Detailed reviews are good. You should consult people who know what they're talking about and who are using the TV in the same setting as you would like to.
Sorry but you shouldn't be providing advice, and I for one would never listen to a person that makes such claims without backup, especially someone that 'doesn't need links to claims'.
And congrats on your TV collection.
ok im sorry for advising you to drag your butt into a retailer and actually looking at the tv you may want to buy
I guess everyone IS the same and we ALL have the same views as to what sort of picture we like.
Quite frankly i dont know why there is so many sets on the market when really there is only need for one in multiple sizes.
and thanks the three different brands of tv i own all fit the purpose i intend for them exactly
3000:1 contrast is a serious put-off.
I believe Netflix has some 4K content if you pay the right subscription.

it has PVR capabilities but I discovered that my Samsung also has it and was never mentioned for it!I guess (as usual) you get what you pay for.
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
Panels Native Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Contrast Ratio: 3000:1So there, UHD not full 4K, low refresh and contrast rates.
Dude 2160p is 4k….is uhd….
The 4K is a bit of a con by the all TV manufacturers. Full 4K resolution is 4096 x 2160. Remember the HD re-badged to HD ready vs FHD saga?
Wikipedia says "4K UHD is a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines" and "The Digital Cinema Initiatives consortium established a standard resolution of 4096 pixels × 2160 lines", but that's called DCI 4K. Wikipedia gives two references to back up the 4K UHD claim, and they check out.
Where have you seen it claimed that 4K UHD is 4096x2160?
@Russ:
I did not dispute that at all. All I meant was the TV makers instead of referring to 3840 x 2160 as UHD for their TV as they should, they deceived us by borrowing the established term 4K from DCI which should be 4096 x 2160.
Don't use it's USB port to watch Movies use another source. Can't turn off any Motion Blurring etc on USB 'channel', and it's horrible.
One of my friend purchased the 58inch 4k bauhn TV from Aldi. The first one was faulty with the panel. Returned the first one and got the replacement, it was good for the price. It doesnt have any issues.
Price is good, but customers are not happy with the quality due to functions and time delay. It's ok to people who don't watch sports much and no video game. Free air tv watch should be fine with 4k display.
It looks bent…
