Greetings everyone, I noticed this deal a few days ago was quite popular, and now it has gotten even better! If you combine with discounted gift cards, it makes it even better! Waiting to see if cash rewards is payable, that would net an extra 2.5% also if purchased online.

It's even cheaper than the recent Bing Lee deal which was only accessible in NSW/VIC from what I can tell.

From what I can tell, there is a lot of stock nationwide, delivery cost seems to be $35 in Metro.

As always, enjoy!

Thank you to jainp for the Original Deal Post

  You can get them from a few different sources, the best free option is 5% off from Cash Rewards from what I can tell, TA says testing has given gift cards fairly quickly.

      Ohh damn, you're right… There is other paid options like RACQ rewards and other rewards programs. This wiki goes over all the programs. A $26 membership to RACQ would still net a saving of $48 once using the gift cards, they're usually instantaneous.

this or similarly priced 65"?

I really only use this for the odd game (XBone) or watching movies with the kids.

I was thinking of getting a HiSense 65" for similar money but will go for this if the reasons are for it.

thanks in advance for suggestions.

  Even though only 55". The quality if these models are phenomenal. Don't settle for the hisense.
- DWT197722 on 14/12/2017 - 22:31
  
  The Series 7 HiSense is the one to go for, not this Series 6 model. The HiSense 55/65N7 got rave reviews (google it), and you should be able to get the Series 7 for around $1,500 if you're patient - check previous deals on the 65N7 published on OzB

    ended up getting 55N7. Awesome TV but not android so no custom apps.

      Just realise that comparing LCD to OLED in a bright showroom is a bit unfair as plays to LCDs only strength over OLED (brightness). I'd bet if you compared them in a dimly lit lounge room, there would be a much more noticeable difference in OLEDs favour. So if you are going to watch TV in a brightly lit room and can't see much difference between them in the shop, then I'd go with LCD. But if not, and you want the best picture quality, I would seriously consider OLED.

  Go for OLED mate, it supports HDR, HGL, HDR+, Dolby Vision etc. Its a future proof. Also, Sony will get dead slow withing couple of months and webOS is far better and intuitive than android.

    Nope. Current Sony Android TV is just as fast as the day I got it. Worst case, you need to clear out the cache in Android.
    
    webOS is far better and intuitive than android.
    
    For general TV usage, maybe, but Android TV is far more powerful and avoids the need for extra boxes for stuff like Kodi.

      This is OLED vs QLED however checkout the image retention.

      I've been gaming on my OLED for 3 years. If there is any IR I haven't noticed it.
    - vinni9284 on 14/12/2017 - 15:02
      
      @Ryballs:
      
      How many hours per week do you game?
      Do you change your games continuously? (Differing HUD's will minimize retention)
      
      Btw, There are heaps of articles discussing image retention issues on the OLED
    - Ryballs on 14/12/2017 - 15:18
      
      @vinni9284:
      
      We use the TV for about 70/30 gaming/video. The only game we play is Overwatch on Xbox One. Total average playtime is about 4 hours per day (wife and I both play around 2 hours each). We play the same few characters every time, with the same HUD.
      
      Never really had a problem with IR. I mean I did see it once or twice in the first year but it quickly went away. I think it's an non-issue for most people and not something that you'll really notice in everyday use. While I'm being blown away by jaw-dropping infinite contrast, the last thing I'm thinking is 'hey did I just see that logo's faint after-image for a few milliseconds too long while on a white background?'.
      
      The new fandangled generation of OLEDs have even better IR/burn-in protection than my lowly second gen model. As long as you look after your panel and don't do anything stupid such as leaving a static image on max OLED light for a week or skip the compensation cycle by turning off at the wall, you'll be fine.
      
      Overall I think LGs OLEDs really are the best TVs for gaming. As well as their amazing picture quality, they also have much better response time than any LCD and lower input lag than anything from Sony or Samsung.

      +1
      
      @vinni9284:
      
      Normally these issues are not typical of regular OLED usage. LG OLED's are designed with anti burn-in protection, and models left on for 18 hours a day, weeks at a time, still do not display permanent burn in. Rtings.com are currently testing screen burn in on OLED, Plasma and LCD. On Week 4 of constant use image retention becomes noticeable and only at Week 9 of constant use, has burn in become a problem. That's 9 WEEKS of 20 hours per day usage.
      
      Image retention can be more prevalent on an OLED, but the TV runs a screen wash program as soon as it is turned off to get rid of this. And where it does hover on the screen, a serviceman can be called out to run a wash program to clean the screen up. Permanent 'burn in' is not only very rare, but typical with non-intended use. This means people calibrating their screens to run MUCH Brighter than they were intended to be used, and people who switch off their TV's at the power point or run plug breakers which does not allow the TV to run the wash program while it is off.
      
      its almost 2018, time to do away with LED/LED and move on to more future proof technology mate.
- Zorn on 14/12/2017 - 15:37
  
  Oleds look great in store. Real world viewing you risk black banding, colour banding, image retention and some very poor motion. Please be careful and make sure you are 100% happy woth oled bedore you purchase.

I've been (im)patiently waiting for boxing day to get this TV, with price determining whether I go for the 55" or the 65"

With this discount, the 65" is $2316, $840 more than the 55" Decisions, decisions……….

I wonder why this exact model was excluded from the JB 20% off Sony TV's promotion
philart on 14/12/2017 - 13:41

My question is regards the Android connectivity? Does this have full access to Google Play and third party unauthorised app sources like Aptoid? More importantly can APK's be opened and installed from downloaded files?

I subscribe to a swiss TV streamer, the app can only be used with a Swiss IP address, Getflix gets around this for me.
So basically does this smart TV do everything that my Android TV boxes/phones can?

My current Sony is also 'smart', it's crap really as you have to live with the apps they want you to have.

I think OLED are little too premature now, like when Plasmas was first out.
They suffer from burn-in right? (as opposed to LED)
- Zorn on 14/12/2017 - 15:50
  
  Unfortunately they do (all do), but not all to the same extent. Plus OLED is still in it's infancy and also because it is an organic material, it does dull over time.

Just bought this tv two days ago from The Good Guys for $1660. Trying to figure out how to submit their 30 day price guarantee claim form but its telling me "No approved retailer found for this docket. Please try a different docket number." and I can't upload evidence to show Harvey Norman has it priced for $1476 as well.

Does anyone know how this thing works?

  yeah i tried it once with a washing machine and couldnt.

This was posted 6 years 11 months 8 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
