Even cheaper than before!! Enter code at checkout to get the price in title. Enjoy! :)

Features highlights: PVR Recording via USB. 3 x HDMI & 1 USB Inputs. 1920 x 1080 Full High Definition

If you have any valid $25 voucher from this deal, use it to buy an extended replacement warranty for 3 years costing $68 (i.e. $43 after using voucher), when you go for pick up. Please note that the warranty comes with $180 of TGG vouchers ($20 every 4 months to be used within 4 days with no min purchase limit).

Credit goes to virhlpool for the description, and I hope the same prices still apply considering people are getting an opportunity to buy with the $25 vouchers

    Is this TV worth it?

    • JohJoh on 14/11/2016 - 10:49

      Got one from the last deal, it does the job, no huge complaints. Depends what you compare it to I suppose, I upgraded from a 21" lcd monitor. Now I just need this TV survive in the long run because I don't have the extended warranty.

      • montorola on 14/11/2016 - 10:51

        Well… We've still got a rear projection TV that's still kicking from 2001 lol so I'm guessing the picture difference will be noticeable

    • jingsu6688 on 14/11/2016 - 12:31

      Worth it. It is a 42 inch, probably not the main tv at home, not sure about the sound, because i use a speaker. Definitely worth it.

  • Ametric on 14/11/2016 - 10:37

    mine from the last deal is still in the sealed box waiting while we move in next month :)

    • tonyjzx on 14/11/2016 - 10:55

      I'd advise having a quick look at it if you haven't as I bought one last sale and screen was cracked. Replaced it but they reckon I had only 7 days to do so.

      • Ametric on 14/11/2016 - 14:12

        Thanks for this piece of advice, I'll have a look at it tonight.

  • dazza666 on 14/11/2016 - 11:03

    I brought one from last sale. The picture is very average, and the sound is bad. But for $230 what can you expect. Ok for a spare room, but wouldn't want it as my main TV.

    • jingsu6688 on 14/11/2016 - 12:32

      Totally agree, not the best or even the second best. At this price, certainly not the worst, so worth it.

      • johndemonik on 14/11/2016 - 19:32

        It's the third best? Do you have a tv in the loo? That's where I'd put a shitty tv

        • jingsu6688 on 14/11/2016 - 20:49

          Really？mine is in the kitchen

        • virhlpool on 14/11/2016 - 23:39

          Your loo deserves Samsung. This one is for poor people like rest of us. :)

    • systmworks on 14/11/2016 - 13:02

      What audio output does it have? Headphones socket, RCA audio out, optical (toslink)?

      • Ttam on 14/11/2016 - 16:38

        Just had a look in store, it appears to have RCA out.

        I'm slightly wary since my previous DSE TV only output audio when playing from the internal TV tuner, but I've ordered this one and will give it a shot tonight.

        • Ttam on 15/11/2016 - 13:28

          Just confirming it has both a headphone socket and RCA audio out, no optical or coax.

        • Ttam on 18/11/2016 - 22:27

          Just wanted to add in case anyone comes across this in the future, was just checking and it appears to have coaxial digital output too. My mistake…

  • mantamuzza on 14/11/2016 - 11:10

      Don't tell Cam then & just get another one for yourself.

      • attfiecz2 on 14/11/2016 - 12:18

        Buck just got one too.

  • beesa888 on 14/11/2016 - 11:10

    I ordered one from the last deal, my order was delayed as TGG told me it was out of stock, so it was delayed about a week. Once the TV arrived, I noticed it was resealed. I wasn't too fussed about this, but once I plugged it in, it was obviously a faulty return.

    The panel has terribly uneven back light. (could not see the bottom left corner of the screen) Image quality is okay for this price, as is the sound. Also this was purchased primarily as a bedroom TV to play videos of a USB. sadly the supported formats are pretty much limited to only AVIs. And only AVIs encoded with a certain codec, because not all AVIs played either. No mp4s would play at all.

    So I called TGG up the next day to have it returned. Return process was a breeze.

    • tonyjzx on 14/11/2016 - 11:23
      +1

      It looks almost exactly the same as my DSE TV.

      I expect the same thing… horrible sound but thats what the 3.5mm is for.

      Hook up a set of 2.1 speakers you got on special.

      Picture of SD 720 and 1,080p files is as expected. Very very good.

      Console picture is fine.

      It is what it is for $230.

  • mboks on 14/11/2016 - 11:39

    I have an Aldi TV from 6 years ago.Would this be an upgrade ?I don't game or anything just want good picture and i have good speakers to make up for bad sound .Useful feedback please TIA

    • macca on 14/11/2016 - 12:12

      Broadcast tv quality is generally terrible, especially the SD channels. Fine for a spare/kids TV but I'd never call this an upgrade…
      Netflix etc looks pretty good with some weird backlighting issues etc.

      • macca on 14/11/2016 - 12:13

        My experience with both has been the opposite. But then these no name brands switch manufacturers all the time anyway so it's a bit of a crapshoot.

          agree… sort of.

          @WalterM: Yeah my Soniq was from 2 years ago and GVA from 4 months ago so who knows how much either has changed

      Of course it will be better if your Soniq has banding issues. Read other comments for more info on picture quality.

    Thinking of pulling the trigger. Will there be any better deals on boxing day? How's the response time, I'll also be using it for gaming.

    Where on the tgg website does it say about the vouchers?
    Do I buy the extended warranty at eBay checkout, or at pickup in store?

      I just jumped in the Delorean & fired up the flux capacitor & went to Boxing Day & it was pretty ordinary as usual. You should get this one now.

      Probably dependent on the store we chose to pick it up from.
      I've waited since Monday morning and it finally became ready for pickup earlier today. Not too bad although it means I can't pick it up until the end of the week now.

  • troyboy on 16/11/2016 - 11:32

    I pullled the trigger last night around 11:30PM and ordered one, pickup at my local GG. Received a phone call at 9:30AM this morning saying its ready to pickup.

    My first cheap and nasty TV. Interested to see how it goes.

    • delucz on 16/11/2016 - 16:29

      Nice and quick turn around - I had a similar experience, receiving the call only a couple hours after ordering. Keen to hear what you think of the TV

      • troyboy on 18/11/2016 - 10:03
        +2

        Well hooked the TV up last night and as most people have suggested you get what you pay for. Wouldn't say its the sharpest picture I've ever seen on TV nor is the sound that flash, but for what I paid, I'm happy. I didn't think I would ever worry about the quality of the audio, but when you have to listen to this TV through its inbuilt speakers its pretty ordinary. I have connected it to a Target home brand stereo soundbar (Paid $34) and it sound 100% better.

        A couple of qwirky things with this TV. Its unbranded, It has no visible branding besides the stickers on the rear. It also has an analogue tuner which the autoscan scans through at the initial setup. The power cord is also fixed.

        I'll have a play around with it more over the weekend and see if I can improve the picture somewhat. If anybody else has one and has some magic numbers, please share.

  • trev on 16/11/2016 - 16:52

    Anyone know if the PVR recordings on this will play back on other devices (eg tablets, desktop, media players)? In other words do the recordings made using the built in PVR have DRM encoding (Digital Restrictions! Management)? ;)

    Having used a (21"!) iMac as a media centre of sorts for many a year, ordered and collected one of these from Ringwood yesterday (the concept of 'spare room TVs' makes me lol). For the price couldn't be happier! Plugged in existing 2.1 speakers, hooked up Mac to VGA (no HDMI adapter on hand), watched Westworld, would recommend. Thanks OP!
