    Wow,
    Wonder how the 43" 4K TV is as a monitor?
    How's it compare with the Philips BDM4350UC 4K IPS display

    • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2016 - 14:53

      Plenty of people at WP using them as a monitor, heard no complaints.

    • Poimandres on 15/11/2016 - 15:01

      It's a fantastic TV, reportedly great monitor.

      I got one for $999 and felt like that was a great deal, so for this price it's a no brainer really.

      • insular on 15/11/2016 - 15:10

        warning: sony is now notorious for input lag. input lag is extremely annoying when using a TV for a computer monitor.

        http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x830c

        says that it is not great (but not that bad either). i'm using a sammy 55 from the GG deal and that is apparently 20odd

        basically you need to find a TV that is 'gaming friendly'.

        • Poimandres on 15/11/2016 - 15:18
          +1

          This is close to top of the line performance for a 4K TV with HDR at the moment, certainly the best you will get for this price. Input lag is certainly acceptable for gaming, but yeah might be annoying as a monitor.

          The only are this TV really falls down is the rather average HDR max brightness.

          Edit: Also that link above is to the wrong model. This is the TV in question: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800d

          Specifically see that the input lag is much much better than the older model listed!

        • TheContact on 15/11/2016 - 15:21
          +4

          The equivalent to the X8000D is X800D

          http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800d

          7.9 score for HDR gaming seems pretty decent. Though 35 odd milliseconds for input lag is quite a bit worse than your Samsung.

          Edit: Too slow :p

        • mavis30551 on 16/11/2016 - 12:16

          @TheContact:

          AAAH, I cant decide.

          Will the imput lag make it a deal breaker?

          These Samsung models, how much are they?

  • victinini on 15/11/2016 - 15:00

    Wonder if there will be any discounts on the cameras.

    • oz-dave on 15/11/2016 - 15:07

      Probably nothing major deal wise, considering they are still recovering production from the Kumamoto earthquakes.

      • aec on 15/11/2016 - 18:04

        is it the reason sony has not run the cashback deal for a7ii for over a year?

        • oz-dave on 15/11/2016 - 18:33

          Well it's been a bit less than a year, but yes, most likely, they lost significant production capacity in April 2016 when the earthquakes occurred. It is claimed by many reports that it also affected their ability to supply to other manufacturers for phones, etc.

  • oz-dave on 15/11/2016 - 15:03

    Wow, there are some really negative reviews on the Sony Xperia X Performance. Although some of the annoyances are based on the US-spec version, the sub-par camera seems to be universal.

    43" & 49" has been at this price before via EB Games deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/271574 … looks like they need to shift excess stock.

    • Poimandres on 15/11/2016 - 15:19
      +4

      Seems weird since this line only launched a few months ago? Anyway, the 43 inch is $650 US as the standard price so these sales just bring it more in line with what a price conversion should be.

    • oz-dave on 15/11/2016 - 15:21

      I used to think of Sony as one of the leaders in television technology. I am constantly amazed at how many people I come across who compare the current models to offerings from manufacturers like Samsung and LG, and then go for one of them over the Sony. Quite a few people describe the Sony screens as having a "flyscreen wire" effect (and lag issues) when compared to many others (which seems to relate to the different pixel technologies used). I am constantly told that Sony seem to be falling behind in mobile and television screen technology. I guess if people perceive the other brands to be better and buy them, that would explain why Sony might have excess stock to sell ;-)

      • Poimandres on 15/11/2016 - 15:34
        +5

        I would say when making a purchase like a 4K TV, throw any "brand loyalty" out the window and research the actual model in question!

        These 2016 Sony TV's are definitely one of the best picks for the (on sale) price. Android TV, proper HDR, decent input lag etc.

        Use rtings.com as the best source of TV info, noting that sometimes local models are labelled slightly differently.

  • elektron on 15/11/2016 - 15:18

    Amazing deal on the receiver…

    • carlscott1982 on 15/11/2016 - 15:20
      +2

      Good deal, but do be aware that it doesn't support the latest sound formats (atmos and X), just inc ase you wanted to use it for home theatre future proofing.

      • elektron on 15/11/2016 - 15:32
        +1

        Good point but are you seriously asking for Atmos and X at this price given the specs? It costs USD $1,400 on Amazon. How much would you pay for equivalent specs and quality with Atmos?

        Besides, my view is that Atmos is great for cinemas but as far as home theatres go it's just a ploy by the industry to get people to replace their receivers.

        And at this price you could replace it in 5 years (or sooner) when Atmos content becomes commonplace.

        • carlscott1982 on 15/11/2016 - 16:17
          +1

          Elektron, not at the sale price, you're right. But remember, they're saying this has an RRP of $1,800. I would expect Atmos and X at that.

          Put it this way. I got my Onkyo NR646 for $1000 from Kogan and that has Atmos, X, bluetooth, airplay and Wifi. None of which this amp has.

          @carlscott1982: Good deal for what it is, but that's almost twice the price of this Sony.

        • scuderiarmani on 15/11/2016 - 17:09
          +1

          Such a rubbish RRP. No way in hell it belongs at that price. Atmos Receivers can be had well under $1000. While Atmos is basically useless atm, I wouldn't be buying a receiver without it. I'm about to get another, unfortunately limited to slim line, but no way I get it without. With those specs it's a $600 receiver at best. Not to mention receivers are unfortunately not the flavour of the month these days.

        • odysseus on 15/11/2016 - 17:11

          @carlscott1982:

          Yeah, this model's a bit over 2 years old, and wasn't leading at the time it came out. Not the kind of thing anyone would pay that price for now - as said a bit later someone paid only $800 earlier this year for it. A more realistic reflection of its value and standing in receivers imo.

        • odysseus on 15/11/2016 - 17:20

          @scuderiarmani:

          Sony do this often. They don't revise the RRP as the technology ages. I've seen tech stuff on their website about 8 years old, still with its original RRP!

          Maybe they'll sell a 68cm Trinitron TV, with a $2499rrp for $500!, 80% Off!

          Laughable, this receiver has the specs of a $599 equivalent.

        • Scab on 16/11/2016 - 05:37

          @scuderiarmani:

          limited to slim line

          Same here, have you found any?

          I can only find three brands that do one, Marantz, Yamaha and Pioneer.

          I only have about 14cm and the full-sized ones are 15.1cm, plus you need at least an inch of clearance on top for cooling.

        • scuderiarmani on 16/11/2016 - 09:41

          @Kleetus:
          Marantz 1607 seems the most likely I will go for… ATMOS and everything included, I have the 1505 I think in another cabinet, nice sound….

          Didn't know of the Pioneer one actually.

        • Scab on 16/11/2016 - 11:11

          @scuderiarmani:

          I'm looking at the Marantz also but the 1506, don't really need 7.2.

          It's just annoying having such a limited range as my needs aren't all that demanding.

        • scuderiarmani on 16/11/2016 - 13:13

          @Kleetus:
          I think we can blame Soundbars and the like on the lack of receivers suitable for typical furniture…

          I have the 1605 downstairs connected to a couple Kef floor standers, and it gives more than adequate power too.

      • falzoni on 15/11/2016 - 15:40

        What would you recommend in this kind of price range? $500-$800ish? I was going to commit on a Yamaha RX-V681 when they were on here a few weeks ago for around $618, or even the RX-V781 for $817. Would like to be future proof for quite some time!

        Just purchased a Hisense 4K TV and recently got some nice Q-Acoustics, the receiver is the final piece! Except a PS4 Pro…

          Oh man, spent most of Saturday playing Tomb Raider in 4K on PS Pro. It's just insane. The only downside is, my eyes now find 1080p real blurry! I'm at work, so don't really have time to research the latest amps, but just make sure you get HDCP 2.2 enabled HDMI ports, or your 4K pass-through won't work (for that upcoming PS Pro, which I know you will now get) ;)

        • falzoni on 15/11/2016 - 16:28

          @carlscott1982: I'm feeling so poor already…but I literally just jumped on the Yamaha RX-V781 from Amazon Germany for about $895, a bit more than last month but I just kept reading the specs and I just need it. Starving myself for a while I think!

      • Gav on 15/11/2016 - 15:42

        Also no Bluetooth, no Airplay, no WiFi.

    • rabid_monkey on 15/11/2016 - 15:54

      Looks like good value, but it doesn't have Bluetooth or the other baked-in connectivity options for Spotify etc, which probably stops me from pulling the trigger. As mentioned by carlscott1982, the lack of atmos is a shame also…although not a deal breaker.

    • Martini on 15/11/2016 - 16:11

      Agreed. I bought for $799 earlier in the year and it's worth every cent.

    • odysseus on 15/11/2016 - 16:33

      Also doesn't have the HDMI 2.0a standard, so no HDR. Also, only one HDCP 2.2 in/out.

          the KU6000W (hopefully) is close enough to the US KU6300, it appears that it is.

          in direct comparison, it's okay.
          http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300 vs http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800d

          as they put it … "The Samsung KU6300 provides similar picture quality, at a similar price. Unfortunately the motion handling isn't quite as good as the Sony X800D, and there is no support of a wide color gamut for HDR content (aka 10-bit colour). The Sony X800D provides better overall performance, and is the better pick.The Samsung KU6300 provides similar picture quality, at a similar price.

The Sony X800D provides better overall performance, and is the better pick."

          like every cut down KS series. It's hard to know if it's ideal. as TV's, they're both okay. software is relatively good with actual TV, they both have netflix and youtube for 4k, and support 4k UHD modes for 4k blurays or as 4k monitors for PC.

          Tizen on the samsung rubs some people the wrong way with it's simplistic menus. On the other hand, the Sony uses Android TV, which is a bit slower, but easier to read and use. Slower bootup and on-time, but more apps and broader support for content. side-by-side, they do a good job, but the Android TV experience is okay.

          Both have weak HDR support, i don't know if the samsung actually has a 10-bit panel to show 4k UHD content or HDR netflix on,

          the sony does have 10-bit HDR and works with the xbox one s for 4k UHD's, it's just not as bright as the more expensive models, which is why it demo's poorly when in a shop side-by-side comparison

        Actually the panel technology is different, 43" is a TN panel, better blacks and contrast, 49" is a IPS panel, better viewing angles…

        • Angel2305 on 16/11/2016 - 01:52

          43" is a VA panel

        • Phoebus on 16/11/2016 - 08:52

          @Angel2305: So which is better as a monitor?
          I always thought IPS was the best all round, color, viewing angles, brightness.
          I always assumed TN sucks and VA was somewhere in the middle.

        • Anubis on 16/11/2016 - 09:05

          @Angel2305: Ah yes, my bad, was meant to say VA. The comment still holds true about blacks and contrast.

        • DangerNoodle on 16/11/2016 - 16:32

          @Phoebus: ips panels generally are better for colour accuracy and clarity, although they can suffer from a bit of input lag. Oled displays have a wider colour range and true blacks, but most will have an 'accurate' setting.

    • bozbargain on 15/11/2016 - 17:19

      The blacks are a bit better on the 43" from memory as with most smaller displays. Other than that, it's the same range/model.

    • Panama on 15/11/2016 - 18:43

      I believe the 49" model has an IPS panel, meaning the contrast (blacks) isn't as good but has better viewing angles.

  • Zylam Marex on 15/11/2016 - 17:20

    What's this input lag everyone always brings up with TV. I mainly just game, so input lag is a bad thing yes, so wouldn't a Sony TV be good for gaming considering they make the PS4?

    799 is crazy for an HDR Ultra HD TV. Really considering biting. I love Sony too.

    • insular on 15/11/2016 - 18:10

      so wouldn't a Sony TV be good for gaming considering they make the PS4?

      i had this assumption, and i was proven wrong by hours of research

      i can't say whether this TV is unplayable, but if your main use is gaming, then i'd go for the best possible TV with lowest input lag for reasonable price.

      to me, 43" is too small for the price. and too small these days period.

      • DangerNoodle on 15/11/2016 - 18:28

        Set TV to game mode, turn off Hdr, and then the input lag will be more acceptable. The more features you turn on the laggier it gets.

I’ve been searching high and low for a good deal on the U2715 or the U3014, but can’t really justify those prices for a small jump in screen size and resolution. I’m considering the Sony 43” as an alternative for a PC monitor. I intend to hook the 43” up to my PC’s hdmi port which is a R9 280x (or my thinkpad with a Intel HD 620), no intention to game, mostly for watching Netflix, movies and TV shows in 720p. On that note, how does a 4k UHD monitor handle 720p resolution files? Is the upscaling any good?

      If you are using your PC, then you can set your pc to handle the scaling.

      I game with my pc on a Panasonic 37inch ips panel and I still score top three in call of duty online.

        Thanks. Bought the 43" with Amex, $769 including free delivery.

        Still a little skeptical about using it as my desktop monitor - not so much performance but the viewing size.

        But at this price, I could probably resell it on gumtree for as much without much difficulty I'd imagine.

        Anyway to answer my own query, this TV actually gets a fairly decent rating (8.4) when ran as a PC monitor and upscaling 720p (8.0) according to rtings and 4k forums.

        5 star reviews for this TV specifically used as a PC monitor with gtx1080s:

          There is no such thing as "upscaling"
          It's a recent word invented by marketers.
          It's just "scaling"

          It will feel weird for a week or so. You'll find you'll have to play around with the settings to get everything looking okay.

          The most noticeable thing is usually input lag. I set my TV to game mode and force my graphics card to adjust all the settings I'm after to minimise input lag.

    Delivery wise: if you are not home, will they come back on another day or you have to pick it up from their depo?

    Can anyone recommend an amp for the speaker for PC use?

    I have STRZA2000ES Receiver. Please be aware this is NOT HDR compatible! And Sony have told me they will not be releasing a firmware update.

    So now with the PS Pro and Xbox One S I have to use the ACR ports….which also do not seem to be able to handle uncompressed audio.

    Their webpage for this receiver is kinda misleading

    • odysseus on 15/11/2016 - 20:43

      Yeah, pointed that lack of HDR out in the discussion earlier.

      It's okay if you want something for right now, but not for the future.
