    Some of the brands we deem cheap in Australia are huge in China. So depends if we deem a brand negatively due to marketing or valid engineering short comings. Not many Samsung's are still made in Korea.

      Please justify this response by elaborating.

        Name says it all!

          If you have experience with the brand, what are the panels like? Have you seen many fail? If so, what is customer service like? Any concerns with build quality or features? We need details man!

        • Savas on 24/08/2016 - 15:02

          @skegger: We used to have a Changhong and it never failed. Never needed to call support. That said I wouldn't buy this deal.

    200hz at that price point? Maybe some number fudging

      Enhanced Motion Rate(EMR) 200Hz
      From http://www.cnet.com/au/news/ultra-hd-4k-tv-refresh-rates/
      Ah, marketing

      Misleading specifications are a fact of life in the tech world, but that doesn't make them OK. Refresh rate is a real, measurable thing. If a company says "120Hz" refresh, there's an expectation in my (and I assume, your) mind that the TV shows 120 different images per second. Or at least, is capable of that. If it doesn't, if it's a 60Hz TV with black frame insertion for example, it may have similar motion resolution to some true 120Hz TVs, but it's not actually 120Hz.

      So many (most?) of the refresh claims you see on 4K TVs are likely somewhat misleading. None are more than 120Hz, despite what their numbers claim, and many are just 60Hz.

      Here's the best way to read refresh specs: If it uses any sort of modifier ("TruMotion 240Hz"), or doesn't explicitly say it's the panel refresh, it's probably not. The few companies that disclose the actual panel refresh information on their websites are quite clear what the panel is doing, and what the backlight and processing assistance does

        Great article and consider me corrected in how I thought of refresh rate - scary how ignorant I was lel.

        So this is actually a 60Hz (presumably) TV that uses image processing to insert frames which gives the illusion of smoother motion at the cost of image detail during motion. Some people find this blurring jarring than others - interestingly the TV isn't blurring the image, the viewers brain is (see article).

        It's actually scary how most people are very ignorant about technology: what i and most other people do is assume things work very simply and then marketing does the rest. This leads to extroadinary levels of consumer rip offs. Just for example the human ear is physically incapable of discerning the difference between 16 and 24 bit audio. And in fact a lot of consumer equipment playing 24bit audio may introduce audio artifacts making it have less fidelity than 16 bit.

        Looks like refresh rates have a similar story (although digital audio is so complicated very few people understand it): I bet almost no one reading this knew the TV isn't actually blurring the image and that 240Hz does not mean the TV is updating the image 240 times per second.

    Advertised as ultra hd yet the specs from the seller's web site are as follows:

    Specifications
    Resolution (px) 1920 x 1080
    Refresh Rate(Hz) 100 Hz
    Full HD Yes

    Something does not add up there at all.

    Feature list says 'AppStore'

    Is this Android & would it enable installing an app like KODI?

  • altomic on 24/08/2016 - 13:27

    i have a 40" changhong - about 2 years old. great TV.

    plays pretty much every format I've tried on it.

    my only gripe would be the function/button names on the remote control are wearing off.

  • garage sale on 24/08/2016 - 14:28

    The Freeview would be a bonus so you don't need to buy a Freeview set Top box to keep up with the Freeman's

    I had a look at the smaller UHD unit and tried to work it without the remote since Bing Lee don't display the remotes and I didn't care to ask.

    I found that C@#$%^&NG had forgotten to incorporate a select button, so you could only navigate around the on screen menus. Selecting anything was impossible any other way. Even long presses and double presses.

    I thought about buying it and raising a bug but don't trust them to fix a basic function they can't get right in the first place…

    IIRC Aldi have a 48" UHD coming again soon.
