From experience, yeah.
U get what u pay for, they got high end stuff too
In my experience brands like changhong, TCL etc who make their own panels are usually better than brands like soniq etc who don't
It's on par with hisense without marketing expenses.
I've read some glowing reviews for the hisense lately is this as good?
you mean Changhong tv? value for money, definitely. it was top 1 tv brand in terms of volume in China.
I can't speak for this tv but I've 55 inch from changhong. Bought 2 yrs ago when Dick smith had a sale on for $899 for family room for my kids to watch abc kids.
Volume is ok for normal tv viewing. Picture quality is really good when viewed HD content. Only complain is the remote controls' letters fading.And realistically it's unlikely that there have gone backwards in this time with a larger higher special set (assuming you is only FHD)
Edit: it has 5 years warranty too
Definitely a clear cut above mud brand Soniq. Not seen their UHD sets but earlier TVs were surprisingly good quality
I have a 42" changhong from DSE for ~$285 over 2 years ago. Good TV. Plays most media formats. Decent sound. Would recommend.
This one looks like the 65" Bauhn non-smart TV a while ago. Might be the same manufacturer.
First Sony, then Panasonic but now the new dawn has arrived.. Changhong
What……
Give it a few more years and we'll all be speaking Changhong
Live Long.. Changhong
Given Sharp is now owned by Foxconn, their large size TVs will be flooded to the markets with very steep discounts in the very near future. Sharp has the best technology in making TV panels.
Still using my old 52" Aquos and still has a great image compared to modern tvs, the last made in Japan I believe
Sharp have OLED??
HDCP2.2?
I've got a 50" changhong from the dick Smith sale a year ago. Great TV - no complaints really image wise. I'd advise getting a sound bar if you can though!
Anyone has 4k Changhong? I want to know about upscaling quality.
I don't know this model. But changhong was a big company in china and the quality was OK. certainly better than some of the Kogan unknown brand. At least they have their own factory.
hmm bit sad no one seems to have this TV to list the pros and cons compared to other 65 inch cheapies (Baun/Soniq/Hisense etc)
would have been appreciative to know things like the build quality, upscaler performance, black levels, motion blur on fast action/sport, console gaming input lag
anyone?….Bueller
I bought one… it was a bit strange no Bing Lees had this on display and there are no real reviews of the Changhong UD65D4000 but I bit the bullet.
So far so good, setup was easy, it doesn't give a million useless configuration options but all the basic required options are there, aspect ratio, colour preferences, CEC, a choice between DVB-C and DVB-T, and a choice of European languages. Using the Samsung external soundbar was easy by connecting an optical cable to the SPDIF port.
I think a soundbar is a must with this TV, it makes a difference as in you can hear people on the TV talking more clearly. The inbuilt speakers are minimal 2x8watts according to the spec and it sounds such. I used the 130W Samsung HW-K360 on sale at GG for $199.
The first thing I watched was a Great Barrier Reef documentary on ABC at 1080p and I would say it looked similar to the more expensive brand names found on display in the shop. Then we watched a movie, firstly in 4K from a HTPC on HDMI1, and then then from a Chinese TV box on HDMI2, both worked fine no issues. It also had no issues auto-tuning.
The set itself looks good with the clean jet-black look, basically indistinguishable from other sets of the current generation. Cable sockets are appropriately positioned and oriented for optional wall-mounting, and all cables plugged in tight and firmly.
My main criticism is the remote control is a bit flimsy the buttons are squishy and they need to be pressed fairly hard for them to register, combined with the light weight of the remote, the remote control in general feels cheap. But maybe I'll go with a universal remote anyway. It also takes a few seconds to turn on, but less than 10 seconds, and it does remember where it was at from when it was turned off.
Overall I would definitely recommend it at this pricepoint, I have used Samsung series 6 and SONY in the past, this is more or less the same thing at a cheaper pricepoint and without the Smart TV functionality - which was fine for me as I plug in all my own stuff in anyway.
So, does normal tv look ok on screen? Does it suffer from motion blur? I watch cricket and league but can't find anywhere decent to view 1.
Most of uhd tellys look good on hd tv, blue ray or 4k content.
Just want it as a monitor only to hook up all my other gearNotes about the 4k experience (no fault of the tv)
So I've had this TV for almost a week and i ended up spending more than what I thought I would to enjoy 4k content.
1. when i connected up my computer via HDMI i realised my computer only has HDMI 1.4 (you need HDMI 2.0) for 4k 60fps so i ended up buying a displayport to HDMI 2.0 adapter for $30
2. Went out and bought a Chromecast Ultra only to realise my router does not have 5GHz so chromecast Ultra does not run smoothly. ($99)
3. now looking into a new router ($100+) or cheap powerline adapters ($50)Notes about the TV.
1. the black levels are below average
2. during dynamic scenes with fast moving objects (action scenes in movies) there are white spots that appear on the screen, just some pixles which flicker white. most of the time you have to REALLY look for it to notice it, you only really nice it when it's a dark scene and the white flickering pixles really stand out. (it's happened twice in the week I've had it for maybe 2 min each time)
3. 4k quality is on par slightly below the samsung 8 series 4k tv I've got in the loungue room (which was 3x the cost of this tv)
4. as stated above a sound bar is a good idea, the sound is a bit muffled, and tinnyNotes about the 4k experience (no fault of the tv)
So I've had this TV for almost a week and i ended up spending more than what I thought I would to enjoy 4k content.So is it worth the money?
Sorry for the late reply, There is a deal for the TV for $719 here
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/287158for sub $800 I feel it's worth it especially when I compare it to the Samsung TV I have
I connected up my Xbox one to play some Halo, and some Gears, the upscaling is good.
Splitscreen for some reason looks a bit blurry, that just may be the poor performance of the Xbox
Bought one today for my mother in law. The sales guy laughed at me when I told him that I'll transport it in my Honda Jazz. He followed me to my car, he said to help, but I'm pretty sure it was out of curiosity.
It was sticking out about 10cm, but I was able to close the boot and tie it down.Love my little Honda Jazz! Biggest small car ever!
Any advice on doing this safely? have a Getz
I think the Getz' cargo space would be a bit smaller than the Jazz'. But still, if the diagonal is long enough, it should still work.
The way I tie my boot down is by attaching the rope to the boot latch and go over the wiper. You've got to be a little bit careful with that because you have to go as close to the joint on wiper as possible and you have to somewhat lower your pressure, but I've done it plenty of times and have never had a problem.
Cheers man.
I have fit a 55inch in box still with shutting the boot space before but that was tight!
KE thanks for the assessment , re the 'with fast moving objects there are white spots that appear on the screen, just some pixles which flicker white'
could that be a symptom of the 200Hz enhanced motion rate feature?, with enhancements turned off any pros and cons?simon26333 nice report, don't suppose you have tried any console gaming?
lol spludgey let's hope the mother in law enjoys the new TV.
hmm I thought reports on this TV would have come in thick and fast at the price point, I guess we know more about Honda Jazz ;)
I had a feeling it may be the HDMI cable I was using, the artifacts (white pixels) seem to have stopped with the new HDMI cable. I was always told all HDMI cables are the same, but obviously not.
I've played some Halo, Gears, and some Destiny on the this TV, I sit about 3m-4m away from the TV and I can't notice any difference in gaming from my samsung to this. Take this with a grain of salt though cause i'm not a professional gamer, just a casual one playing on the weekends.
thanks KE again with posting your experiences
so with warranty registration did you register it via Changhong's Product Registration web fill in form? or cut out the card and mail it in?, surely in this day and age the online registration is acceptable and most convenient…hmm
any recommended picture settings?
anyone found a working 'service menu' access codes?not sure if I have the same issues KE spoke of with 'pixles which flicker white' but I seem to get like brightness flares (c)JJ Abrams ;) that flare up every now and then each side of the screen, like an artificial control the TV tries to implement
I'm yet to see anything at 4K as my Xbox One/PS4 game consoles aren't the upgraded 4K versions, not sure what to expect with 1080p viewing, as mentioned Digital TV and Foxtel are borderline, gaming seems pretty good, Netflix also looks fine, overall I'm happy with bang for buck
I was happy with the product the first few days, although it annoyed me that I couldn't seem to turn the 200Hz motion 'feature' off as there seems to be some visible tearing around some objects depending on the scene. I was hoping that might be the cause and could turn it off.
The blacks are rather poor, but the picture quality itself isn't bad. Speakers are terrible, but that's commonplace in cheap displays (thanks for the tip about the soundbar simon26333).
A few days ago however, I decided to play some SD content from my Wetek Core connected to HDMI port 1…. and ran into a bunch of lip sync errors and the picture is jittery as hell. Given that it doesn't occur on other devices around the house, like my Hisense or PC it leads me to belleive the Changhong is the problem, if I had to guess, maybe as a result of up-scaling SD content? It seems to affect all lower than 1080p content (the screen is currently running at 1080p) from the HDMI connected Weetek.
Has anyone else had any similar issues? Or can suggest a fix? Most articles online suggest disabling the 'truemotion equivalent feature' which in this case would be the 200Hz EMR, but that doesn't appear in the menu options for the TV.
Any help would be appreciated. It's pretty unwatchable and makes me want to return the TV (interstate…. :/)
I am guessing Changhong quality is about on par with Soniq (ie. shite) ?
