4K HDR TV 50in for $398 (down from $448), seems OK as per reviews for watching TV, Netflix, etc.

Features:
1. Linux OS based with Netflix, Youtube, Stan, YuppTv, etc.
2. USB PVR capabilities.
3. 50Hz refresh rate with dynamic ratio as 5000:1

*Limited stock

Note:
1. Response time is 9ms so wouldn't recommend for FPS or high input required gaming but should be ok for casual gaming.
2. It's supposedly made by TCL FFalcon by TCL
3. Buy at your own risk or maybe have a look at it in a store near you!

      Ha-ha yes, it's what you shout when it breaks- FFS, F Falcon and their crap TV's

      • bdl on 15/08/2019 - 14:24

        "Well this is just F-Fscken F-Fantastic, the F-F F-Falcon has F-Fscked up again, FFs!"

  • Josho on 15/08/2019 - 14:07

    are they really crap?

    • Major Mess on 15/08/2019 - 15:29

      The colours are bearable but the stuttering drives you up the wall.

    Ask the sales guy to show you that advertised image. FFake representation of this SShitbox.

    Friend purchased one of these and for the price, they're actually quite decent.
    Navigating the menu is sluggish but once you're watching something, its fine.

    Don't expect a high-end TV but these are better than Soniq IMO.
    As for how long these will last before you encounter issues: I can't comment

    • Josho on 15/08/2019 - 14:56

      Whats the pic quality like and would this be ok as a dumb tv?

      sound quality ok?

      • jsediv on 15/08/2019 - 15:31

        Picture quality looks fine and motion is good too.
        Sound is eh but for TV speakers, not terrible.

        Take a USB with a sample video into JBHIFI and try it out

  • geeluv on 15/08/2019 - 14:25

    Hey team, would you guys recommend this or the Aldi TV? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/476916

    • BertieBrown on 15/08/2019 - 15:05

      Well, it's hard to really know without either seeing both of them side by side or even relative comparative reviews, however, the FFalcon is supposedly a direct-lit panel which seeing as it would be a cheaper model is probably a good thing as it wouldn't have any sort of local dimming, so in that instance being direct-lid versus edge-lit means that in a cheaper model it would hopefully a more uniform backlight, but again without actually testing one, it's hard to know. I don't know about the Aldi model?

      The Aldi would likely have a better returns policy, potentially? 60 days change of mind? JB HiFi are usually pretty good with returns, but it's something that you'd want to discuss with them prior to purchase I'd have thought.

      If it were me, and I absolutely had to choose one, based on the info I have I'd probably go for the Ffalcon, which is supposedly made by TCL for JB HiFi.

      • geeluv on 15/08/2019 - 15:31

        Jawanzar sir, many thanks for your detailed response. I think I will go with The FFalcon. Reviews are looking good and its bigger. Thanks a ton :)

      • scottishdave on 15/08/2019 - 15:57

        Where did you read this was a TCL built tv? If this was a TCL rebadged known model (and I could check reviews, for what they are worth) I might consider it but maybe JBHiFi had it built to a price with lower spec components?

  • geeluv on 15/08/2019 - 14:29

    How does one know if this has ARC?

    • Major Mess on 15/08/2019 - 15:31

      Ring JB Hifi I suppose. But really? Wouldn't you be better off looking at a different TV?

      • geeluv on 15/08/2019 - 15:32

        Yeah, smart thinking. Will do!

  • Raynes on 15/08/2019 - 18:24

    Take the HDR claim with a grain of salt

    • bert-lifts on 15/08/2019 - 21:22

      Most entry level TV's can't display HDR properly. Including the big brands.

  • smudger on 15/08/2019 - 20:57

    Got one of these today to replace a 12 year old 40 inch Samsung 720p that was failing (bad artifacting on images)

    Mounted it on the wall and set it up to discover a vertical thin purple line on display.
    Phoned JB to find out the DOA policy and while I was waiting on the phone it dissapeared!

    Been Ok since. JB guy said if it appears again they will replace.

    This is a TCL sub brand
    warranty card says FFALCON by TCL Electronics Australia Pty Ltd
    Inside the remote is stamped TCL Global Manufacturing.

    ARC is on HDMI 3

    Will see how it goes, for $400 thought it was worth a punt

    • geeluv on 15/08/2019 - 22:40

      Great going. Hope it serves you well.

    • Rodderz1979 on 31/08/2019 - 11:11

      How did you hook up your ARC connection mate? I tried connecting to HDMI 3 port to the ARC port on my Yamaha receiver and done all the correct settings on the receiver but can’t get any functionality. It’s like the tv doesn’t have any options to allow sound via external speakers, unless I use the optical cable. It’s just handier having ARC hooked up so you can control volume from the 1 remote. Unless my hdmi cable isn’t ARC compatible? I’ve read you require the correct cable

  • imahippy on 18/08/2019 - 17:57

    Got one today. Not too bad! Thanks op.

  • ZSasha on 21/08/2019 - 16:21

    Does anyone know anything about their "dead pixel" policy (if any)?
    Sent an email yesterday - no response so far.

  • quarrymaster on 15/09/2019 - 13:59

    This is back today, September 15, 1 day only.
