    Hard to argue with the price; I don't suppose anyone has experience with the quality?

      I've got a Viano. There's a little bit of bleeding of the backlight, but you only notice it on a monochome background.
      Mine also has two dead pixels, but it doesn't bother me too much.

      The remote is rubbish, but I've got a Logitech one anyway (use Vivo codes).

      If I was in the market for a tv, I'd jump on it.

        can someone please explain this joke to me. I see it in quite a few comment sections

        • PVA on 17/11/2017 - 22:33

          It's not much of a joke to be honest.

        • ju2au on 01/12/2017 - 16:45

          Band 28 refers to the mobile phone 4G frequency (700MHz) for the Australian market. Because Band 28 was the old analogue TV signal frequency before it was decommissioned and repurposed for mobile phone 4G, very few other countries use it.

          However, Band 28 is every important for the Australian market because it is the frequency most likely to give you a 4G signal if you are on Telstra or Optus.

          Thus, when a new mobile phone gets mentioned on OzBargain, one of the very first questions asked will be: Band 28?

          Band 28, Xiaomi and Eneloop batteries are synonymous with this website.

          It will not hurt your eyes at normal desktop range, I have a 40" 1080p and its easier on the eyes than a smaller monitor, plus games and movies are much more immersive.

        • cdaddy on 08/11/2017 - 19:06

          @geebee: 1080p yea because thats got nothing on the quality and detail 4k has

        • geebee on 08/11/2017 - 19:33

      might be a bit large depending on how far you sit. and probably not a great option if you want to game.

      but for general purpose use, would be more than fine.

    • BadGiraffe on 08/11/2017 - 15:34

      I found 40" to be alright for a monitor. 50" would surely hurt your neck or eyes, unless you have a fairly deep desk.

      • AlienC on 08/11/2017 - 16:50
        +1

        I'll probably be using this like a console for a tv. Just don't want to pay more for less with a tiny pc monitor.. looking for an all in one multi purpose solution.. as long as it has chroma subsampling 4:4:4 it should be fine.

        • Raynes on 08/11/2017 - 19:24

          It would be extremely unlikely that this TV supports 4:4:4.

        • AlienC on 09/11/2017 - 13:41

        To go to 4K and have decent size text at 100% scaling I don't think I would go sub 50 inch screen size.

      Warranty is at least double that, before ACL comes into it.

      • DarthLord on 08/11/2017 - 15:34

        ACL means how many years of warranty? Sorry, noob here

        • Zorlin on 08/11/2017 - 17:24

          For a TV, 3-5 years. It depends.

        • tranter on 08/11/2017 - 19:52

          3-5 years is bit misleading. There is no specified time frame but I doubt for a $350 tv the consumer guarantees provided under ACL would apply after such a long period of time.

          Good luck walking into a Big W store in 4 years time demanding that they apply ACL guarantees to your $350 tv. It's just not going to happen and I doubt the ACCC will help you.

        • uniqualz on 09/11/2017 - 11:30
          +1

          @tranter: So does that mean the ACL is just a set of subjective guidelines? I just presumed there were rigid, set guidelines set out for all to follow, regardless of price paid for product, or how many upvotes it got on Ozbargain as a sweet deal! If a TV costs $1, does that mean you'll only get a month's ACL protection thrown in? Genuine qn (noob).

        • tranter on 09/11/2017 - 11:47

          It's been a while since I read the info about the ACL consumer guarantees on the ACCC website but from what I remember it's specific and detailed in some areas and fairly vague in others, eg. time frame.

          From what I remember the purchase price comes into the equation so you would expect a longer time frame on a $3500 tv compared to a $350 tv.

          Yes, to a degree it's subjective.

          I think it comes down to common sense as well. I think it's unreasonable that I should expect a retailer to fix, replace or refund my faulty $350 tv that worked perfectly for 3-4 years.

        • littlefishyyy on 10/11/2017 - 20:11

      I bought a 32" Full HD version of this tv from the same company a few years ago. It died like after 2 years, so I went out and bought a new one. Before I threw the old one out, I thought I'd check about warranty, and lo-and-behold the company picked it up from me, repaired it and returned it within two weeks. Was super surprised, but impressed. Now its my bedroom TV!

    50inches 4k is not enough recognise whether it is 4k or FHD, and this TV might have bad image rendering. but just need bigger TV for local broadcast, It would be fine.

    • bargaino on 08/11/2017 - 16:00

      It does if you use it as a desktop display.

      Even with a 70" TV, very few people sit close enough to tell the difference from FHD.
      And even fewer regularly have any 4K media, except still photo slideshows.

      But hey, its $349. Unless you can find an equivalent FHD display cheaper, don't spoil it.

      • Jackson on 08/11/2017 - 18:56

        I picked up the jvc from big w for 328 that was 48", like having 4x24" FHD monitors. Don't use it much but it's quite good, big but no one said you need to maximise your windows. A damn sight cheaper than buying 4 monitors

  • AssociatedTheGunslinger @ BIG W on 08/11/2017 - 15:50

    Not a bad price. Too bad it is a discontinued line and the last time our particular store had stock was back in June.

    Good luck to all those in the hunt for one but you might have an easier time getting the Aldi 4K tv that's coming up.

    Edit: key code is 595051 if you want to chase one.
