Spotted in-store Wollongong Central. Suspect price will become active over night. Guy said they had just put the sign up.

Hopefully the larger screen sizes will also get a haircut.

    Photo?? Sure it wasn't the 3 Series?

    Great news if it is true … and as you said, hopefully the 65"s come down in price too

  • sillyhead on 12/04/2017 - 19:08

    This will be a good deal. Kicking myself a little, I bought the Hisense series 3 65k3300uw last weekend for $1157 and getting a little too much flashlighting/ clouding when the room is dark, top right corner is just so noticeable to me.. may have been better getting the smaller series 7.

    • Konstantin on 13/04/2017 - 14:28

      Had the same problem and I ended up returning it back and getting it replaced, also was dissapointd with the app store they have on these 2 coming from my samsung 55''which had everything in there, but ye if the screen goes all black and you see some light on one of the corners thats a faulty panel most likely or they didnt fit it properly and its pushing in more than it should

      • sillyhead on 13/04/2017 - 15:11

        Yeah that sounds like it. Because I bought it from able home office I don't like my return chances I might try going through Hisense. Did you send back to retailer?

          I bought it from The Good Guys, I made a phone call and they sent 2 guys to pick it up the day after and they brought in the new one, you should hurry dont let the week pass , they are obligated to replace or refund as far as i know especially if its not older than a week

        • sillyhead on 14/04/2017 - 08:45

          @Konstantin:
          Thanks… Public holidays, I will try Able on Saturday. I don't think they will be as reasonable as the good guys though. There operation was small scale/questionable at best. It was a "I'll help you carry this 40kg purchase out the front door and 400m through the shopping centre with out a trolley" approach to a loading dock. The alarm bells were ringing.

          I did stop look at the local Good guys floor model yesterday to check i wasnt losing my mind, and i could see any bleed/clouding/flashlighting at all compared to my set. And it was a reasonably dark area of the store too.

      I've just been through the 55 inch shopping process, and narrowed it down to either the Hisense 7 series or the Sony 7000 series. I bought the Sony due in most part to the Android smart features. Both looked amazing in the many, many stores I visited!

      • bashar20 on 12/04/2017 - 23:20

        How much did you get the Sony for?

        • adrian234 on 15/04/2017 - 15:46

          I paid just under $1100 from the Sony store online, but customer service and shipping were terrible.

        • bashar20 on 15/04/2017 - 16:56

        Also get SuperMax Wizard. Can stream anything you want :)

    • nicholasnbg on 13/04/2017 - 08:31

      Just got the Sony x850D 2 weeks ago for $1500 ($2000 atm), if I didn't go for the sony I was going to get this Hisense TV @ $1200, so $900 is ridiculously cheap!

    • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2017 - 21:32

      Sony. The screen/picture quality are on par but I'd pay the extra for Sony's build quality and Android OS.

      • CrushJelly on 12/04/2017 - 22:41

        Hisense has a 3 year warranty. What's Sony's?

        • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2017 - 23:08

          1 year with on-site pick up within 25km of a Sony authorised service centre.

        • ONEMariachi on 13/04/2017 - 12:18

          @Chateau: Warranty time is irrelevent in Australia. ACCC law states, reasonable amount of time. I've had a tv shit itself at just under 4 years, sony replaced it for me. It's pretty reasonable to expect at least 5 years out of a tv.

    • Romain on 12/04/2017 - 22:54
      +1

      Comparing a number of TVs in store last month, I narrowed it down to those two which to my eyes were better than the rest of the TVs at this price, and pretty close. I thought the Hisense had a small edge but eventually it's the 3 years warranty that made me go for it. The OS is clearly disappointing though, so if the warranty isn't a big deal for you, I'd probably go for the Sony.

  • Richardc on 12/04/2017 - 21:29

    what os is this tv using?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2017 - 21:33

      Opera TV operating system.

      • Richardc on 12/04/2017 - 21:46

          Nope. You get what you're given.
          My bad, there is a paltry 'app store' on Opera TV OS.

        • Corapmafya on 13/04/2017 - 13:46

          Netflix and Youtube work flawlessly with my series 7. The screen mirroring didn't work with my Nexus 5X out of the box but after downloading a 3rd party app from the Play store that works too now. Can't say much about the other apps as I have not tried them.

        • Dbuiz on 13/04/2017 - 15:27

      The OS on this TV is not great, but you can easily fix that with a sub $100 Android TV box like the Mi Box. But having said that, it still comes with the most common apps and features you would expect in a modern smart TV (e.g: Netflix, youtube, Plex, Freeview plus, Wireless display support, HDR capable built-in media player etc..)

      • ONEMariachi on 13/04/2017 - 12:20
        +1

        Also if you have a ps4/xbox most of the main apps are already on that anyway. I can't remember the last time I used the native OS on my TV

  • Phalaxis on 12/04/2017 - 21:42

    Great TV. I paid $1095 2 weeks ago at Domayne, unfortunately outside the price guarantee period now.

    A steal at $898. Deal ends tomorrow as per the email I received.

    • PVA on 12/04/2017 - 21:51

      doesnt that mean the 7days ran out today (Thurs-Wed , 7days) so would mean you'll miss out by one day if you go to them tomorrow.

      i guess you can try tomorrow, just show them your receipt and the JB website.

      • Phalaxis on 12/04/2017 - 22:01

        I edited my comment. Got my weeks messed up. I purchased on the 30th of March.

        • PVA on 12/04/2017 - 22:04

          i guess you could still try but I doubt it now - its only $200 and think, you have had a great TV for 2 weeks.

          whats the menu system like - does it change channels quick etc? does FTA looks ok?
          anything you dont like about it?

        • Phalaxis on 12/04/2017 - 22:12
          +1

          @PVA: Yeah, a bit annoyed but still happy with the price I paid.

          Menu system is okay, fairly basic.

          Channels change quick enough for me. FTA channels look good. I've played some 4K video samples from USB and they just look stunning.

          Nothing I don't like so far. For $898 I'd definitely recommend it.

      That review is far from thorough. It's purely subjective, the reviewer doesn't even take one quantitative measurement. How's the greyscale accuracy, colour accuracy, contrast ratio? What's the backlighting method, calibration options… the list could go on.

        Happy to spend up to 1.5K probably? Less is better obviously though.

        • Steptoe on 14/04/2017 - 04:00

          The Chang Hong from Bing Lee was decent in the low $700s via eBay. Not so much at $999.

          There's always the Aldi version.

          The Hisense 7000 might end up under $1500.

    i have had this tv for a few months now,also have a sony x80 4k 55.out of the box its terrible,reds make your eyes bleed and the picture looks over processed but with some time tweaking the settings its a fantastic picture and the sound is pretty good for a tv (i run it through a av system)
    startup times and os response is quick

    opera ecosystem sucks,has all the basic apps like netflix plex and stan but forget about kodi (i stream it chromecast via my phone )but all function quickly and without issue

    have had a few issues with it randomly resetting the settings…..turning cec off reverting back to original picture settings resetting network etc not all at once but at random but this hasnt happened for quite a while.

    i havent tried any hdr content but 4k looks nice

    i paid 1k for mine and would again,at this price if you are in the market for a tv i think its a great purchase but if your budget allows go for a sony/samsung etc
    i am really happy with mine and would buy it again but prefer the sony

    • whitepa on 13/04/2017 - 08:03

      What settings did you tweak? Is there are particular forum post or blog that you based the changes off from? I have played with the settings somewhat but I think there is room for improvement.

      • Cambam on 13/04/2017 - 08:30

  • Plasma on 13/04/2017 - 07:30

    I am about to pay off my lay by for the Samsung 55" KS8000 ($1498 Boxing Day). Is the Samsung $600 better? I've read a heap of positive comments regarding this model.

    • hessels92 on 13/04/2017 - 08:13

      The Samsung you got was the buy of the year and will continue to be until next boxing day. LG and Samsung lead the way especially with 8000 and 9000 and OLED.
      The Hisense is a fantastic TV and price but is a step below these guys.

      Not many people realize how good that ks8000 for $1500 was.

        I was tossing up between the Hisense 7 series and the KS8000 as well, and ended up getting the KS8000 on Boxing Day. Could not be happier, the picture is incredible and everything works great. Great looking TV too, very sleek.

        I read a lot of good reviews of Hisense as well and I'm sure it's a good TV, but the KS8000 is brilliant for $1500.
