How is this model of Soniq? Am after one for the kids room but still need decent tech and slimmer body!

Am looking at Sony KDL65W850C 65 @ $1998 for my Garage (ahem…mancave): https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/hd-televisio…

  I bought this TV and it's pretty decent. I've watched Netflix on it and played PS4 and Wii U, and it handles everything fairly well. Might have to fiddle with the settings a bit in the beginning but it's been great.

Bought one for $399 6 months ago (I think its the same model). I'm no TV expert but the video quality is fine for the price, the USB can play a huge range of files without fault, it works well for gaming without any noticeable lag, and if you're looking for a TV at this price range that's probably enough to drop some cash. We have a soundbar attached to it and it's a decent main TV

Crazy cheap. I have a 32 inch Soniq I bought a few years ago for the kids games room. Was the same price as this, has been absolutely fine and has a surprisingly good picture and viewing angles.

thanks OP, I used the 5% too.

been looking at this price/size for a few weeks now.
next cheapest was a 40" Kogan for $324 delivered.

this tv is for the kitchen family area where picture quality not that important; news, cartoons etc
I can now put my G10 away for a rainy day.

I got one in the last sale, mine had one dead pixel but I ended up living with it (you can't see a single dead pixel on this screen from say 45cm to 1m away).

The sound level is too quiet on the screen, but they have a headphone-out socket so you can add a 2.1 sound system (i.e. a cheap Logitech set).

Otherwise I'm very happy with it, and I'm going to buy another :)

    You don't need a usb port on the TV to power it.

      Consumer law says you don't need receipt, just proof of purchase, so if you have a credit card statement with the purchase (or even a serial number would show up in their system) you are able to return it (doesn't matter what they say).

  Would this work as a computer screen okay?
  
  Perhaps, if you like to sit about 6 feet away from your monitor.
  
  It would be almost unusable as a monitor at the normal 500-600mm viewing distance.
  a) Too large, you would be swivelling your head to look at it all.
  b) Too few pixels - the image will be grainy
  c) TV colour gamut is probably not the greatest for use as a computer monitor.

      You wear or carry the goods (unless they are liquids, gels or aerosols or oversized or bulky goods which the airline require to be checked in) as hand luggage aboard the aircraft or ship as you leave Australia, or check the goods in with your luggage after they have been verified by an officer at a Client Services counter.

Just a heads up for you all (something I didn't take note of so my mistake): Take a note of the stands. I had to refund mine because the table wasn't big enough for this type of stand (unlike the TV stands that are at the centre and can fit on most compact tables).
- GreenGuava on 08/06/2016 - 22:16
  
  Thanks for the tip. Your post prompted me to check the dimensions of my tallboy that I was going to place it on and I found it was only about 92cm wide. I think it still would have just fit, but I couldn't chance it and decided to let this one slide :(
  
  Great deal nevertheless, especially with the 5% discount code.
- eug on 09/06/2016 - 11:48
  
  At this price, I probably would have considered buying a piece of ply or MDF the length of the TV and putting that on the table for the TV to sit on. Maybe paint it black too.

  If you are using it as a bedroom TV or in a small games room etc the logitech Z113 2.1 speakers for $21 (see it in another deal posted here) seems a cheap good solution for you.

      Yes. I dont have them but my understanding 2.1 computer speakers are good enough for a bedroom. Of course if you are putting them in the living room they won't be loud enough and you will need a proper sound bar with subwoofer costs $50 or more.

Bought one from Glendale NSW with 5% off coupon. They had heaps of them in boxes ready to go yesterday.

I've had a refurbished Soniq 42 inch for a year or two now ($279 delivered, thanks to OzBargain) and it's been great for the price.

For those of you wanting to wall mount it, make sure your mount is 400 x 200 VESA compatible. I stupidly bought a 200 x 200 mount, doh! Have had to buy a another mount.
- danield on 09/06/2016 - 11:38
  
  Are you mounting it on a single or double stud?
  Im looking at a single stud as an option, but thinking if I need double. I'm mounting it between the door and the cuboard and need to be able to move it a little left and right to open and close some doors. Convinced the Mrs we needed the 43" with this price even though we both agreed the space was only big enough for a 32"
  
  These are the one Im looking at.
  
  Single Stud

    I'm no DIY expert, but luckily this TV only weighs 8KG, so it should be forgiving. Very lightweight and skinny compared to our other TVs.
    
    I stupidly bought and installed this one originally (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182099761391) - expecting the TV to have 200x200 VESA screw holes. It's attached to a single stud with 3 screws and is very sturdy. To buy a bracket converting 200x200 to 200x400 would cost more than a new mount.
    
    Last night we ordered the Single Stud swivel mount (X-Bull) from eBay as a replacement - the first link you posted! It's rated up to 50KG, so should give plenty of buffer even when extended. Should have it installed next week.
    
    Maybe someone with more skills and knowledge can advise?

This was posted 8 years 6 months 23 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
