Slightly cheaper than the current JB Hi-Fi deal. Cheap delivery of $40 for those that want delivery. If purchased from Ebay save another 1.25% by using cashrewards. If you have a targeted ebay 10% off (CSHOPTECH can someone confirm this works on the tv?) or ebay credit then can reduce the cost further. Also great for those users that don't have a JB Hi-Fi accessible but do have a Good Guys close.

Great TV great value, cant beat it for the price.

please view the description from gopi_kv2004s JB Hi-Fi deal and view the comments there for further info.

      Feel free to point out a better TV for $1600 currently. If you are lucky enough to have the targeted 10% off ebay offer your looking at sub $1450 for an excellent TV. The picture quality on the M7000 range punches well above its price range.

      Although there are brands out there that I'd avoid Hisence bought out Sharp a few years ago so it has great pedigree. If you search for reviews you will find that some Av. Enthusiasts are more than happy with their purchase.

      Lol you're welcome to spend more on your favorite expensive brands, leave the bargains to us.

      Don't know why some people still don't understand the basics of manufacturing/globalisation and every time they see something made in China or a Chinese brand they immediately equate that to poor quality.

      • pmupsinep on 13/01/2017 - 16:25

        Chinese brands and products are poorly designed and poorly engineered. The only thing China does well is providing cheap/slave labour and cheap manufacturing processes, due to their complete lack of regard to environment impact and natural resources.

        The only good stuff that comes out of China are products engineered/designed elsewhere by foreign companies and but manufactured in China to reduce costs (and with strict QC).

      Agreed, we took the gamble with the Kia Sorento and we are really pleased with it (it's no Stinger though).

      We went a bit too cheap with the Aldi TV (returning due to flickering panel) but I think we'll take the plunge with this TV.

        Haha that's funny I bought the Hisense 70M7000 and a Kia Cerento about two weeks apart. Loving both of them like I didn't know how to do life before I had them. (Very dramatic I know) but in all seriousness I am loving my Kia so much I am going to buy an Optima for the wife and kids.

        • furythree on 13/01/2017 - 10:39

          can you define whats good about the sorento? after a car but not loving the looks of the kia. but its its good elsewhere and cheap i would consider it

        • stumbows on 13/01/2017 - 11:08

          @furythree: Sorry typo I have the Cerato not a Sorento. Kinda confusing on Kia's part actually. But what I can say about mine is the seats are amazingly comfy. Interior design makes a tonne or sense. Mate of mine has a 2015 Audi A4 with S-line kit and interior look similarish and recently found out head of interior design for Kia came from Audi so that makes a bit of sense. But it also has great road feel and handling. The only couple things I find annoying is bluetooth audio does not default each time you start the car despite having been the last input I used. I guess it's only one click on the screen but would be nice to have it auto default somehow. Also I have a manual and the clutch friction point is really low and I am not used to it yet but probably won't notice as much as time goes on.

        • ShortyX on 13/01/2017 - 12:10

          @furythree:

          Among other reviews, this may help - http://www.caradvice.com.au/owner-reviews/2016-kia-sorento-s…

          Good summary - "The thing that stands out with the Sorento is the value for money equation you get when you actually look deeper into every objective criteria. It’s powerful yet frugal, smooth and quiet, simple but classy, spacious yet compact (getting into our garage and still allowing for the boot to open is a plus) and the seven year warranty is just the icing on the cake."

          @Stix: but theres still a stigma of driving a kia :(

          how about mazda cx9

        • ShortyX on 13/01/2017 - 16:02

          @furythree:

          What stigma? :) I think they're no longer the cheap and cheerful brand and it may take a while for people to realise that. :) I may be biased because I own a Sorento, but the Koreans seem to be delivering quality cars.

          The new CX-9 wasn't out when we bought so the previous thirsty 6 cylinder CX-9 made us sway towards the Sorento.

          As for comparing to the new CX-9, I like this post from the comments section in that link I posted earlier:

          Cost - the value for money for the Sorento is sharper (more kit, less cost)

          Size - the CX 9 is a monster, yet it has no more room in the second and particularly the third row seats (believe me, I've crawled all over these cars) than the Sorento. I don't want to drive something as large as the CX9. It's huge.

          Engine and fuel economy - there is no deisel engine for the CX9, and the real world fuel conomy suffers becase of this. Sure, it's relateively economical for a petrol engine, but it ain't no deisel and you'll pay for this week in, week out..

          Warranty - 7 years Kia vs 3 years Mazda.

          Quality - JD Power just named Kia as the number 1 vehicle maunfuacturer for initial quality. Sure, this doesn't mean everything. But it doesn't mean nothing either.

        • furythree on 16/01/2017 - 03:33

          @Stix: i got no issues with korean brands

          my issue is that they may be well established in a few years, but im buying a car right now ;)

          also more kit for less money doesnt mean anything. i need ALL the kit for less money.

          also whoever designed the nose of the sorento needs to be shot. the mazda designers lately have really gotten minimalist, smooth yet modern design right

          do you have a reccomendation for a 5 seater? i dont really need a 7 seater, i just wanted a decent boot space. i feel that the 5 seaters usually achieve this by screwing with the legroom of the back seats

        • ShortyX on 16/01/2017 - 12:43

          @furythree:

          I preferred the look of the Sorento over the old CX-9 but I do prefer the look of the new CX-9 compared to the Sorento.

          I don't understand the 'all kit for less money' comment. :) In our case, we settled on an amount we wanted to spend but couldn't have it all for that amount.

          No idea about 5 seaters - sorry! Good luck!

        I'm not counting out the bigger 70 inch plus TVs yet as I used to think 65 inch is ridiculously big.

      • bargaino on 12/01/2017 - 23:01

        Its not a can of paint. For the viewer, screen size determines viewing distance, and in a linear manner.

        Its a 15%/18% difference, which is substantial, but for three times the price, no bargain.

          You're not comparing apples with apples though. Yeah it's 3 times the price at a 10" increase. However there's features and quality in this TV that is not found at that price point in anything. I own the 70M7000 and it blows my recently replaced series 8 Samsung out of the water and that was a $3800 TV a couple years ago.

    Has anyone used this TV with a Harmony remote? Apparently there are no separate on/off buttons and INPUT button shows all the inputs in a random order, making programming with the Harmony difficult.

          @gimme:

          According to avforums, it seems it's not a good experience using this TV with a Harmony but probably workable. For example, the TV remembers the input when the TV is switched off which causes issues with automatic functions. However, if you set it to HDMI1 every time it is turned off, the automation should work ok.

        • gimme on 13/01/2017 - 10:19

          @Stix:

          Thanks Stix. Sorry I haven't read the av forums but are they saying that I can program the remote to set it to HDMI1 as part of the shutdown sequence so it'll remember it for next time? or do I need to manually set it to HDMI1 everytime I switch off? I really like this TV but I like my harmony hub even more ;-)

          https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-55-65m7000-uled-own…

          It's a little long winded but works, first edit device setting, then input settings, this will help the hub work out how inputs change.Then fix delay settings as mine takes 21 seconds between starting up and when it's able to accept another command. Next I had to adjust the end sequence of all the activities to put in another step where the TV sets the input back to a default setting before it switches off (HDMI 1) this means the TV always powers on from HDMI 1. Hopefully this makes sense

    • stumbows on 13/01/2017 - 10:00

      Yeah the TV lists the inputs in order of when they were activated or last used which is great for getting around quickly when using the normal remote but imagine it would be annoying with the Harmony.

  • DangerNoodle on 13/01/2017 - 05:25

    Honestly this TV is significantly better than the cheapo ones from Aldi and big w. Heck, it is better than most of the major brands under 4k. Reviews are great which is always a good thing.

    Not sure why people would dislike this brand because it's made in China. Most electronics are made in China. Most high end phones are still made in China.

    Having seen one of these in person, I wouldn't mind getting one of these as a TV in another room given that the picture quality when calibrated is quite close to my LG oled TV.

  • Daniel Plainview on 13/01/2017 - 10:16

    FWIW I think this is a great deal on a very good TV.

    But just as a side note, I do wonder if the sense of 'must have this feature' which seems to be accompanying true HDR capable TVs is vaguely reminiscent of the urge many seemed to have to ensure their TV was 3D capable ~3yrs ago. Not that I've done any sampling but seems for most folks 3D was a novelty and if their TV is capable of it - they rarely use it and very little good content available for it.

    In theory HDR seems far more of a usable & beneficial development across nearly all possible content types but I do think consumers often fool themselves into thinking a feature is 'absolutely essential' when in time they find it's actually of marginal true value.

    Like I said this is a great TV - bought the last series 65" Hisense UHD for a pal - he loves it. The Kia comparison is very apt. :-)

    • railspider on 13/01/2017 - 10:57

      I think this is a fair comment. I watch 99% of my content via online streaming, and on Australian internet I can rarely stream better than 720p video. I don't expect that to change any time soon; making these 4K TVs pretty useless.

      It's nice to "future proof" your technology, but sometimes you're better off waiting until you can actually utilise all of the features that you're paying for.

    • gimme on 13/01/2017 - 11:12
      +2

      Yup I agree…. all these 'must have' features (not just this TV) can be mostly useless unless you really use it. A lot of people have a habit of jumping on the next bandwagon without really assessing their needs and other factors. Then again that's how consumerism works and that's why there's a new version of something every 6 months. I'd happily stay with my 6 year old 54" Pana plasma when it comes to image quality, OS and usability. Don't care about a 'Smart TV' either as a $50 gizmo can do that for me anyway. The only reason I would like to upgrade is because I'd prefer a 70". More of a want than anything else. Might stay put for now.
