It won’t have HDR or zoneable backlight dimming at this size/price.
So?
They are two of the hottest features in tvs from the last few years. True HDR is meant to make a bigger difference than 4K.
@AustriaBargain: Yes, going beyond 8-bit colour was definitely needed. For instance, in computer games you can often see banding artifacts over the skydome (especially at sunrise/sunset) because 8 bits per channel isn't sufficient to render these types of gradients. It's not just about MOAR pixels, but better pixels as well.
Selective backlight dimming really makes a difference in darker scenes when the backlight would otherwise bleed through… That said, $600 for a large TV is a magnificent price, you just have to be willing to live with the drawbacks of older tech.
@RefusdClassification: The problems with 8 bit colour stem more from what goes on when you compress an image and start modifying it than 8bit colours not being enough. Textures get compressed and lose details, then they get stretched, especially on the skydome, so 1 pixel can get stretched out into a one colour band of several pixels. Then screens (especially TVs) are more often set up to alter the picture significantly and crush colour range to make the picture more brighter/contrasty/vivid. Most of these problems can all be avoided of course. Getting a good display and setting it up properly is key. It's not just about having more colours, but using them better in the first place.
Selective backlight dimming sort of works but I can't stand the uneven luminosity it creates. It creates problems very similar to banding, except it isn't just on smooth gradients, it can be on anything. To me that's far more distracting than a slightly brighter base level of brightness. Having said that, I'm not a great fan of LCD technology over OLED and plasma, and I do run any LCDs I use at fairly low brightness to counteract their problems.
4K is certainly more useful to me than HDR but I appreciate HDR, as i've been using wide gamut monitors for many years.
Big TV prices have certainly taken a tumble! Is 60" even considered big anymore?
True HDR is meant to make a bigger difference than 4K.
I agree. But many would argue this is very faint praise.
ALDI recently had a 55" Smart TV with HDR for $579. How important is 10% greater size?
BigW have a 58" for $509. Save $90 for 2 inches. Any difference?
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/jvc-58-uhd-led-tv-lt-32n386a…
@bargaino: That 10% diagonal increase is a 19% increase in screen area.
It's certainly noticeable but not a huge difference.
Yup. Probably 50hz panel, edge lit and low peak brightness
You forgot to mention that it uses a genuine SAMSUNG panel, so it will clearly have the same image quality as a SAMSUNG tv. All those suckers paying hundreds more for nothing, hahahahahaha…. etc.
You forgot TV are more than just panel.
Don't most tv companies use either a Samsung, LG or Sony panel, with difference being the calibration and image processing?
Not all panels are made the same, even if they’re from the same factory.
You think Samsung is selling their top of the line panels to this brand?
Correct, panels are binned by quality and sent their separate ways.
It doesn't matter.
The panel quality isn't the problem, its the software.
Yeah yeah we've heard it before. I've owned no name TV's with name brand panels, sure they look great sometimes (still scenes, bright scenes etc.) BUT they have a multitude of issues/defects as the panels that Samsung/LG sell to these companies are SECOND Tier… they did not pass their standards. But, hey they would be fine for a kids room / bar/ bedroom or someone with impaired vision.
How about as just a 4k viewing machine for YouTube, Netflix, Cornhub and other 4k viewing websites?
Thinking of putting one upstairs for free to air viewing then adding an Android box or something to watch 4k media. Might try a steam link on it also but I doubt 4k steam link gaming would be any good on this piece of trash.
Looks like I forgot my sarcasm tag. Here you all go then.
/S
Should have said thousands more
LoL, I was thinking same thing as I read through all the other replies to your post. Some people are just too serious about these high end TVs.
Playing PS4 on it, not issues gaming on it.
it's fine?
Phone is fine.
Maybe Rumbaar is playing slow-pace games and not fast first-person shooter games?
@edfoo: Any serious shooter plays on a small screen. Like the Koreans playing games on square resolutions. It reduces how far the eye has to move so you can react faster.
/r/KoreanAdvice
anyone have a good alternative for a 55-65 inch tv, in the max $600 price range? I know it's a long shot (because of the price) but no harm in asking.
Have you looked at soniq
Soniq software is anus.
EDIT: To be fair, the software on anything in this price range is probably anus.
@edfoo: Very bad.
I tried to set one up (I didn't purchase it…) and some of the settings straight up didn't work at all. The function appeared to be there, in the menu, but it just didn't do anything.
Enterprise authentication??? Nice! Wait, never mind, it doesn't actually work.
@edfoo: Would you prefer to have an anus staring at you from your TV unit or just know that anuses exist and get a good TV?
TCL is pretty good
Thanks for all comments so far, I'll look into TCL and soniq.
I'm not expecting a miracle of a tv, not fazed by how smart it is as I use Google Chromecast, PS4, fetch tv, so I have my Netflix bases etc covered.
Just want a decent screen to game and watch tv on, I'm not expecting nor wanting something mind blowing (because of budget) but adequate is good@eltito: don't get a soniq.
its like double anus going by above comments.stretch budget for a hisense?
if not tcl would be the best bet.
Not sure if this one is any good. But it seems to be on sale at JB and is a bit on the higher end of you price range. Not sure about this TCL brand though. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/tcl/tcl-e18us-55-4k-uhd-smart-led-…
HiSense.
Similar to people whinging about $200 phones not having NFC etc.
Queue the TV quality questions.
Cue the spelling lessons. :-)
Well you could read it both ways so I think either could be valid even if they have different meanings.
no. One is right and one is wrong, for all intensive porpoises.
@bargaino: Well I though you could place questions in a queue for them to be answered so I stand by what I said. By the way, Porpoises are a group of fully aquatic marine mammals.
@colaman: Woosh??
"Intensive porpoises" is a humorous example of a misheard expression.
FYI intents and purposes.
@bargaino: I am sorry, I thought you were trying to show usage of proper grammar. All good, I don't know that one so yes you can say swoosh.
Can anyone comment on their experience with the "premium" leather school shoes?
$15 leather school shoes?! That's cheap!
Take my upvote for scanning in every page of their catalogue.
Yep, we don't get catalogues at our house (cul-de-sac) so I have to browse lasso like a caveman.
Do the delivery people get scared they won't be able to get out?
Cannot believe time is flying so fast. I only got used to writing 2018!
You must be fun at parties…
and party a lot(because time flies when you're having fun…)
Different exp here.
Time flies after uni / 20s.
No matter having fun or working 8-5 dead job.
Agreed soon we'll be dead
Try being 50.
At $2, they're called fongs.
I hear if you set the pantera gas bbq to power metal mode it cooks steaks at 200bpm
It might finally be time to replace my old and faithful 50" Panasonic plasma.
I’m still rocking 2 of those. I’ll need 3 men to lift them off the walls!
Need 3 men to lift a plasma TV? You should come and lift a 32-inch Panasonic CRT TV at my house which is 70kg.
Y'all need to come over and lift my 60" 120kg rear projection TV bruh
You need stronger friends…
Your plasma will be infinitely better than some trash ALDI TV.
Don't do it
My panasonic 50" plasma looks better then cheap LCD TV's like these.
Also doubles as a heat source?
And makes sure your electricity bill isn't too low.
@samfisher5986: That's my main concern. I've moved and it's gone from 2 hours usage per day, to 8-12 hours. Electricity bill will be arriving any day.
@jonagrah: It will take a very long time to make back the $600 you spend on this downgrade of a TV in electricity costs.
Thongs should not be printed with flag of any country. Will never buy these.
Wouldn't recommend. I'm a stickler for the rules, and while it's technically ok to wear the Australian flag as clothing, you're supposed to stand at attention whenever it's raised or lowered. That was an awkward day at the beach.
Is that you Mr Trump?
Is it OK to wear the flag as a cape though?
Aldi soundbar says it's arc so it's HDMI ? It's missing from the specs
Also missing from the specs is that it's a piece of junk.
It's a cheap $70 sound bar with a 60 day return policy no questions asked from a bricks and mortar store. Were you expecting Bose/Sony quality?
Didn't mention anything about expectations so let's not be presumptuous Ken. It's a waste of time and $70.
@BargainKen: True. Though I'd go for a little Logitech 2.1 system for this amount of coin for better sound.
purchased a soundbar thing from 2018. would not recommend.
why is that?
Is the TV a smart TV? Can i cast YouTube without a chromeast?
Don’t buy “smart tvs”. Buy a cheap panel like this and with the savings buy an AppleTV, ShieldTV, Vodafone TV or Raspberry Pi.
So called smart TVs are always underpowered, lack apps, have ugly UIs or don’t receive software updates. Basically they suck and should only be used by someone who can’t figure out to changes hdmi inputs on their TV remote.
I agree with the sentiment, but is it still possible to buy a high quality TV, as in high picture quality, without it being a smart TV?
It doesn’t matter, Apple TV works with smart tvs too. You’ll use some of the smart apps but mostly you’ll use your Apple TV or chromecast.
No, a TV that isn't smart is going to be a cheap chinese import these days.
In the past you could though.
That is called cutting your nose off to spite your face. Are you really recommending that Tv's with the best image quality and features should be ignored if they contain smart functions? You can simply ignore the built in, in favour of the nVidia Shield etc, as most owners of high end TV's do.
Yeah good luck running x265 10bit on a Rasberry Pi.I have a 2018 LG smart TV and have a Windows PC, PS4 Pro and MiBox hooked up to it. 90% of the time I use the smart TV function to watch Plex Netflix etc. and all of the built in apps support HDR10. Not ALL smart TVs are shit. But yeah, at this price point they would be.
Agree, just set up a mates outdoor viewing area, Platinum 55" UHD TV from this deal and a Vodafone TV - works brilliantly.
Picture on the TV was much better than I thought it would be at this price.
nocure is 2019's goat
How can greatest off all time have a yearly winner? 🧐
Australia day gear already? I need to get the "Straya's Full" banner ready.
Nah, didn't you see the hot cross buns at woolies/coles?
Oh yeah, Easter is just around the corner! Better stock up!
I'm sure we'll see Christmas stuff around August this year.
Anyone know if the $39.99 cordless headphones are any good?
My wife returned the last pair she got from Aldi, kept getting battery issues.
We now have Bluedio T-Monitor and TN2's respectively. Despite their dirt-cheapness they've been bloody excellent.
Their perishables are far better quality than the likes of Coles or Woolworths.
Does anyone know about the return policy of Aldi? I recently bought one of these TVs from Aldi, but a 50inch version. I’ve used the 50inch for the past month.
Is it possible to return it to Aldi (at the full purchase price) and buy the 60inch version instead? I’ve still got the opened box and receipt.

Queue the TV quality questions.
So lets cut to the chase. It's good for the price, but you wouldn't want to game on it because the input delay is horrendous and the HDR is either shite or non-existent.
How'd I go?
