Based in Braeside (nearish moorabbin costco) for those that want to check out some decent TVs first ;). They semi regularly (last one a few weeks ago) have car park sales for quite a bit of stock. For those close by might be worthwhile checking out the refurb for those scratches etc before purchasing.

not wall mountable?
Considering shipping charger i would recommend pick up for people which live in VIC.
I got excited for a moment. Misread it as "Sony".
One of the comments on this unit on the interwebs is that there was a lag between the video and audio which was sorted out with a firmware update. Presumably this would have been addressed when the units were refurbed.
Worth noting too that these are listed at $1799 on Soniq's website but for $1298 on JB's website, so the saving here is around $400.
for less than third of the price of the big brands thats quite tempting.
Cheap!
Astonishing price
Can this run any Android app?
Just worth mentioning that it's running Jelly Bean so it's not Android TV (or Google TV even) it's Android on the tv.
Custom rommable? :p
Customisable ROM ;-p
Any good for gaming?
Would imagine if they're anything like Hisense that there is considerable input lag when playing games
Lol Hisense, can you believe their 55" 4K TV has 200ms input lag, it's ridiculous.
Please just buy a Sony if you want to do a lot of gaming, not worth experiencing the input lag of other sets.
What would the picture quality be like?
tempting, I've got 2 48" Soniqs and no complaints, one for TV one for gaming. On mine I did have to turn the red down quite a bit
Quality? Android aside (nothing a cheap Chromecast and similar can't better in time anyway) how's the quality on the TV itself? For 65" it's very cheap.
Hate refurbs at any price.
Suggest everyone walk into a JB Hifi as their the major stockists and should have this model. I dont see Soniq running out of them anytime soon as they have been advertised for the past month or so at this price via their newsletter. I personally dont think it competes with the major top line brands but for 1/3rd the price I wouldnt expect it to. I would like to know dead pixel policy under their warranty terms and if soniq pay for returns etc.
For all refurbished products SONIQ CONFIDENCE 18 Month Warranty
however dead pixel warranty is not specified in their warranty terms & conditions
The advertised SONIQ models for this price is 65" 1080P & 58" 4K…
…this is 65" 4K
(Though I wouldn't personally but a refurb TV anyway)
Just note as per my post below, the one that's on JB's site @ $1298 seems to be a newer model, as it has a visually different stand, 100Hz and HDMI 2.0. Don't know if the internals have changed or not, but wouldn't buy this TV based on how that one looks.
They have this one on there aswell but is marked as out of stock , it's the same features but 3D.
I'd get the hisense 58" that's been on here the past few days if I was looking for a tv in this category.
Thinking of it, do you have one?
Purchased a different tv recently from their EBay store and they were happy to double the warranty to 3years by simply just asking.
Worth a shot to call them or email for extra warranty on this tv
Soniq refurbs are absolute garbage and their warranty support are difficult to deal with. If you're going to do Soniq you are much better off going into a JB Hi-Fi who will actually support the product.
They have given many OzBargain members the run around and quite frankly I am surprised that they are not banned.
You're kidding! There were a few issues with that deal too
Gawd I only got sorted out from this debacle in early 2016.
Smart TV lol!
Wow look at shipping cost to WA!
Was interested, but looking at the manual, doesn't look like there is HDMI 2.0, so no 4K 60Hz support over HDMI.
Also to note, the one for $1298 @ JB Hifi seems to be a model up, which (noticeably) has a different stand, is 100Hz and has HDMI 2.0.
Still a good deal for the price though!
Just google the model number it's not hard , this is on the website but been discontinued . It has 100ghz and 3D but only 1.4 hdmi
Had their TVs recently. Rubbish
Reviews say ok picture quality but has quite a few bugs which might have been fixed with updates by now , probably explains all the refurbs…
The deal ain't that good, its a refurb… you can go to any decent auction house and pickup a good tv for about the same price… i ended up getting a Sharp Aquos 60inch for around $900… cash and carry… very happy with it.
Nothing of the sort shows up on the link?
Would not having HDMI 2.0 make any other difference to this TV other than not being able to do 4K at 60hz?
Had to take this back. Audio was often out of sync on HD TV channels and HDMI inputs would stop working until it was restarted :/
Just had a quick look and got a pop up saying "Subscribe for special offers and get a $5 voucher" too.
Any idea how much shipping is?
