Seeking good 75" TV EOFY Sales

We are in the market for a good 75" TV, was hoping to find a good deal in the EOFY sales.

Will be used for watching movies on Foxtel, Netflix etc. No gaming, not really for watching sports.

As per Choice Magazine's latest review I was looking at:

Hisense 75R8, LG 75SM8600PTA, TCL 75C8 and Sony K D-75X8000G.

However, the salesman at Good Guys mentioned these are all 2019 models and not really in stock anymore… was trying to point me towards the newer models of the above as they would be the same, but I was unsure if it was just a sales tactic to get a sale out of me or truth.

I might be able to get one of the Sony's, or hubby was tempted by the LG 75UN8100PTB.

Any advice on any of the above items? Has anyone seen them on sale anywhere?

Are the current models of the above actually the same?

Thanks!

    I think the 75" Hisense S8 is still available here $1690

      Yes it seems there are S8 and Q8, but not the R8. So are the S and Q range the same quality? I am unsure. I think the sales guy said the Q8 is the newer one.

    The Sony model you’re interested in is now the 8000H. The salesperson wasn’t lying, most brands have run out their 2019 range and are in the middle of introducing their new models now. For Hisense the S model is basic and the Q model is upper range.

      Thank you for that!

      Any comments on preference between the Sony and the LG 75UN8100PTB?

    Just purchased a 75" Samsung Q70T after selling my former 5 years old 65" Panasonic, picture now is like chalk and cheese, sit 3m away and the picture is really awesome, fab colour after minor colour adjustment and fine detail, can't fault it, got it from our local GG to price match Appliances Online, a few months back this model was over $4K, paid $2870 less $250 gift card.
    Was able to use current wall mount and added two Ruipro HDMI Fibre Optic cables in wall. Run 4 devices into new Yamaha slimline RX-602 receiver and 1 to TV + 1 spare, speakers and stands are new (white) Q Acoustic 3020i plus music cast wireless Yamaha sub. It sure is a nice setup, very impressed with audio too.

    @Foxtail what sort of USB does Samsung Q70T have? 2.0 or 2.1. ARC or eARC?

    I have seen no less than 5 near identical posts to this in the last week or two

    Suggest Op do some research on this topic first before asking the same question yet again

  • John678 on 18/06/2020 - 17:04

    Is the S8 good enough?

    • impoze on 19/06/2020 - 09:05

      very subjective question dependent on the viewer.
