          Set it up. Netflix works, picture quality is pretty great with some solid contrast. Bargain for $949 (used 5% cashrewards shift card).

          I just got rid of a Sony Bravia OLED and the difference is there, but the average punter won't care/notice.

    I think a 65" 4K Aldi TV @ $499 is a better value? The only issue I see with having some smart functionality or Android is that it makes the menu changes painfully slow at times.

      • tezza on 06/09/2018 - 11:33

        It was on sale earlier on in the year for $700 odd however at two recent store reopenings they have been selling them for $499.

        Call the Aldi line and ask them. They can check store levels or if any are around

          @kamban: I saw a 75" TV at Aldi 2 days ago. It was a marked down unit, from their last run of 75" TVs.

          This was in Melbourne. Not sure if it's all stores. I doubt it as I think they priced it to get rid of the last one.

          I didn't post it as there was only one unit.

          Anyway, maybe call Aldi HQ and see if anyone has stock left, then can the store and at what price? You might get lucky.

      65 to 70 is a big increase and has generally been the point where price starts getting exponentially higher.

      I have a 65 and would much prefer 70 or 75.

        The 60” is on sale next week. The 65” was on sale earlier on in the year however they have been selling them for $499 recently at store reopenings (after store refurbishment)

    • dexx on 06/09/2018 - 11:16

      These big, cheap TVs usually have terrible picture quality. Can anyone comment on this one?

    • simgue on 06/09/2018 - 12:01

      If it's anything like the old Kogan ones then you're spot on. Their implementation of Android made the television painful to use. Slow boot time, terrible menu structure, slow to do anything really.

  • King Tightarse on 06/09/2018 - 10:08

    Viano is a cheap "badge engineering" name.
    They haven't got the greatest reputation and its roll of the dice once the warranty expires.
    Cheap? Yes. Lots of apparent features? Yes. Long term reliability?
    Dubious.

      70 inch for $1000 is basically disposable. Uncertainty around quality and longevity shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

        "Buy it cheap, buy it twice" as the old expression goes.
        Would rather spend more on a Panasonic or Sony and have a much greatly chance of it actually lasting.

          Not to mention the inbuilt environmental and ethical cost of treating something like a new TV as a 'disposable' item. As if the world doesn't have enough issues already with pollution and labour exploitation.

          you'll be spending more than twice as much to get this screen size in even a basic panasonic/sony/LG/samsung tele.

          for some, its worth the risk of it not dying outside warranty to save a bundle. i always do, and it has always paid off for me…

  • NuclearWessels on 06/09/2018 - 10:21

    Good price, but I'm guessing it won't do Netflix 4K or other 4K playback. Playback specs listed show only H264 support and 4k streaming apps require H265. Easily fixed with a Chromecast 4k or similar.

    • gnarlyrocks on 06/09/2018 - 10:32

      So just to confirm you believe that devices like Xbox One S/PS4 Pro/Chomecast Ultra etc will all output at 4K?
      I've been bitten once before on a cheap 4K TV that only had 4K at 30Hz, so it was useless for everything bar a PC.

      • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 09/09/2018 - 20:30

        most games arent even 4k 60fps on consoles anyways. theyre usually just 30fps if u want 60fps monitors are way to go bc they usually have HDR as well

      Time for the short review.

      Build quality is on par with the 65" Bauhn it replaced.

      First startup probably took 2 minutes to boot, due to android starting. Subsequent turn ons are quick (~2 secs from pressing the remote on/off button)

      Can see some slight light bleeding on each edge of the screen (short edges).

      Colours are great, watched some youtube 4k 60fps vids what were great. maybe a slight stutter, but hardly noticeable.

      The remotes are identical too besides branding, however the bauhn one doesnt work on the viano.

      All in all im pretty impressed, i reckon its better than the aldi one, even though they are probably from the same factory.

      • guptsur on 07/09/2018 - 16:20

        Hi Heist82,

        Thanks for the update. Can you please tell us if the screen is slightly matte (as the 65 inch viano) or Glossy.

        I went to Waverley Garden Big W and apparently they did not have any 70 inch on display, and only 65inch.

        While I was there I noticed the Polaroid 65inch was a little more glossy while the viano 65inch was a little matte.

        I personally prefer matte for a computer monitor but wasn't sure if I should go for a glossy or matte TV. Glossy polaroid looked better against the matte viano for 65inch.

        Can you upload some pics !

        I am so torn between a 65inch or this 70inch. I was not even thinking about a 70inch before the deal came through.. !! phew .

        Thank you.

        I just meant that it's probably a very budget, bad quality TV for bogans.

        Maybe not the worst you could buy, but I wouldn't really consider it a bargain unless screen size is literally your only concern.

    • tezza on 06/09/2018 - 11:37

      At this price point there has to be some trade offs however. Whether it’s features, functionality, looks etc

      Aldi has a 60 day return policy so if it’s total crap, just return it.

  • dbglt on 06/09/2018 - 11:41

    Was waiting for a 75" for $1000… not sure how I feel about 70" though. Hrmm. Am hoping that this whole 8k push ends up lowering prices across the board. I don't really care about features like smart tv or sound etc as I run external speakers and connect up a PC… so just a half decent screen.

  • slknv on 06/09/2018 - 12:17

    Just picked up one from lilydale bigw, they had 2 left. Only just fits in the back of a big 4wd. I've had a bad run with expensive "name brand" TVs barely lasting 3 years, so the price/size/"brand" tradeoff on this 70" is pretty good.

    • King Tightarse on 06/09/2018 - 12:27

      Do you use a decent quality surge protector?
      These modern TVs can be very intolerant of surges - just takes one decent spike to take them out.

      • slknv on 06/09/2018 - 12:35
        +2

        Yep, have surge protectors on all TVs, plus UPS on two servers. Had a couple of projectors replaced too - because of bad DLP chips or something, the tech said it was a manufacturing related fault. The only TV which has lasted a while is an old samsung 42" plasma, about 8 years old, but it's painful to watch anything on it!

    • slknv on 06/09/2018 - 16:16

      So anyway, after I pickup the 70", I get back to work, and my wife sends me a picture of a 75" aldi 4K TV that she wants… reduced to $999 as well! Went and bought it, and will return the Viano to BigW this weekend. However the 75" is a huge box - beware!

      • KARMAAA on 06/09/2018 - 14:02

        Doesn't mean the panel can hit that refresh rate. I have monitors with DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 and can't do 144hz even at 1080p.

        Hah yeah. $950 if you pay with wish gift cards.

          Discount card gets you 10% off at Big W now, not 5%. Then you use the gift cards to pay, which gets the further 5% discount.
