$2548 is now the best price - from JB Hifi. Thanks Plapic

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-home-entertainment/hd-televisio…

$2699 was the new low watermark for this TV until JB came along.

I paid $2749 just over a week ago.

$2699 from Appliance Central includes delivery to several capital cities - delivery to my regional NSW address is $74.
The JB Price of $2548 does not include delivery.

A couple of points having owned the TV for a week:

The feet at the base of the TV are at the extreme ends of the screen. So unless you are wall mounting it, your entertainment unit/TV stand must be at least 160cm wide. I got caught out by this as my Samsung 60" which this replaced had a stand in the centre of the screen. Have had to buy a new entertainment unit as well as new TV!

There are 4 HDMI ports at the back. 2 the input is perpendicular to the screen. 2 the input is parallel. Only the 2 perpendicular ports support 3840x2160 @ 60hz. The parallel HDMI ports only support 3840x2160 @ 30hz. Without knowing the technical reason for this my guess is that the 2 perpendicular ports are HDMI 2.xx whereas the parallel ones are only HDMI 1.xx.
In a modern TV I dont understand why they dont make all the HDMI support 3840x2160 @ 60hz as a minimum?

TV weighs close to 50kg and is unmanagably large and heavy for most normal people to move around by themselves - its a 2 man job at my place.

The box is huge. You are kidding yourself if you think you'll fit it in any normal sized sedan. It would work in a ute or van perhaps - and maybe a troop carrier or similar.

  • WesthamAreMassive on 22/02/2017 - 23:44

    Also note that if you wall mount this tv, access to the ports is very hard as they all face the wall and are away from the edge.

    Great price but delivery to WA is $205

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 22/02/2017 - 23:54

      As an owner of the TV, they don't ALL face the wall, but certainly a fair few do. I agree this could be a problem for some wall mounting scenarios.

      Of the HDMI ports, 2 face the wall and 2 are parallel with the screen.

      Page 6 of this guide shows you the exact configuration

      https://etcpg3uvcgs41q4ci23mfssr-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-…

      2 x HDMI, antenna, 3 x USB and the headphone socket are parallel to the screen

      2 x HDMI, LAN, optical, component and AV connectors face the wall

      The 2x 60hz at 3840x2160 HDMI ports both face the wall.

        are you able to share or post a link to the settings you use?

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 24/02/2017 - 07:58

          I just use stock settings - out of the box - everything 50/100

          Looks fine to me.

        • Maveot on 24/02/2017 - 10:18

          Is a thread on Whilpool in the Home Theatre forum, it is Hisense ULED, I used the settings on p71 of that thread and they are much better than the default settings.

        • rakerr on 24/02/2017 - 12:04

          @Maveot:

          Maveot both of those settings are for the 65inch model, not the 75 inch model. They are different panels. Are you using the settings on the 75 or the 65?

        • Maveot on 24/02/2017 - 12:05

          @rakerr:

          Yep I have been, true they are different panels but I like them more than the defaults. Perhaps a little dim still, but a starting point.

        • rakerr on 24/02/2017 - 12:06

          @Maveot:

          excellent mine is arriving in 10 mins and just wanted to see what settings are recommended. Ill give those a shot. you running rpps? or Mpr_65s?

        • rakerr on 24/02/2017 - 12:18

          Maveeot, i saw that your contrast levels are starting at 50. According to Macman1s post on page 19 of the whirl pool thread the following:

          Here is a tip for setting up an LCD TV (LED is LCD).

          ALWAYS set "Contrast" as high as possible before clipping of peak white or colours occurs. Normally the manufacturer will use a setting very close to this as the default. Using a Contrast setting any lower then optimal simply throws away contrast ratio for no advantage what so ever so don't do it.
          To control how bright the TV is use the backlight control NOT the "Contrast" or "Brightness" controls.

          The "Brightness" control is mis named, its should be called the blackness control because it sets the black level of the TV. Using a setting lower than optimal will crush shadows to black, and using a higher setting then optimal will increase black level, both or which are not good.
          A simple way of setting the "Brightness" control is to display a credits screen from the end of a movie with a small amount of text on a black background, the less text the better but there MUST be some. A wide screen movie with black bars top and bottom works best.

          Pause the video at an appropriate point and turn the "Brightness" control up until the black level obviously rises, then turn it down one click at a time until the black level just stops getting any darker. At this point going up one click should increase black level and going one click down should make no difference.
          You have now "calibrated" the brightness control for the ambient lighting in use. A different setting will be required if the viewing environment gets significantly brighter or dimmer so you will normally need a night and a day setting. Same goes for the back light setting, a bright daytime setting is highly inappropriate for a dark room and will cause eye strain so don't be afraid to turn the back-edge light WAY down. Doing so will greatly improve black level.

          The optimal "Contrast" setting remains the same in all environments so its set and forget.

          "Gamma" is a vital setting thats has a VERY large influence on picture quality and its also dependant on ambient light. Its not an easy thing to get your head around and like colour requires test gear to "calibrate". Any adjustment to Gamma requires Brightness be rechecked.

          My question to you is have you tried this in your playing with the settings? It would seem he is pretty knowledgeable on all things PQ.

        • Maveot on 24/02/2017 - 13:36

          @rakerr:

          I was using MPR_65s settings.

          I also haven't tried what Macman1 suggested, TV only arrived on Monday after damaged unit and the incorrect one the week prior. I will have a play further this weekend. I have actually turned the Motion back onto Low to smooth it a little, I dislike Soap Opera so would normally turn it off, but not as bad with the Hisense.

          You probably already know this, but remember you have to set it for each input.

        • rakerr on 24/02/2017 - 15:01

          @Maveot:

          yup. Mine is also set up now. i went with rpps then set the contrast up 5 and im happy enough for now. My set looks good i cant see any major screen issues so im very happy that i dont need to return anything and start again. But ill do some proper testing tonight.

          Very happy with my purchase. Glad i waited the 6 months I did. I started chasing the 65 inch then decided no 70 is the sweet spot. But with this last deal i couldn't resist the 75 and glad i did.

        Got mine yesterday $2545 50 months interest free at HN. Just wondering if anyone got 3D glasses. Says they come with in the quick start manual but I did not get any. And is it passive or active 3D?

        • Trojan on 01/03/2017 - 12:26

          Active 3D and it came in the box … check the front and back of every piece of styrofoam before you throw it out!

        • Regie69 on 01/03/2017 - 12:27

          @Trojan: cheers will do. Lucky I still got the box.

        • Regie69 on 01/03/2017 - 12:47

          @Trojan: got the wife to have a look on the box and no glasses. Mate bought one on boxing day he says no glasses either

    • chuneeperformance on 23/02/2017 - 16:26

      65" is edge led
      70-75 is fald

      • Duece1995 on 23/02/2017 - 21:17

        What's the difference?

      • ialam99 on 24/02/2017 - 09:07

        Is fald better or interior?

        • chuneeperformance on 24/02/2017 - 09:58

          Full array local dimming if memory serves me correctly was patent by sharp - of which are these panels. Hisense have taken over sharps display arm.

          They are closest to true direct backlit panels at cheaper price. Far better Black's and colour as the back light turns off on black areas. Won't be as true black as OLED… But the best you can get with LCD which I think has 200+ led zones.

          Edge lit you obviously know what it is and the inferior "grey" you get and not the Black's you get from fald.

  • random101 on 23/02/2017 - 11:32

    I paid $2749 just over a week ago.

    Check to see if you have a credit card with purchase protection (e.g. 28 Degrees, Coles). They will refund you the difference, even if it's another retailer IIRC.

    • systmworks on 23/02/2017 - 15:34

      I dont think that is true - both my credit cards with price protection (which Ive claimed over $1,200 back on) specifically say it must be from the same retailer (but can be a different branch, or in store vs website).

      Imaging buying a TV for $4,000 from David Jones, only to claim back $1500 the following week when JB HiFi have the same model for $2500…
