Not a bad price for this. I'm looking at cheap tvs just to display CCTV in offices. I got a 55" kogan dumb tv 18 months ago for $400 and has been great.
There's also a 58" for $449.

Review:
http://4k.com/tv/a-review-of-the-seiki-se55uy04-55-inch-4k-u…
i dont think that review is for this TV, is this one 120 hz? Also i doubt we'd be fortunate enough to have a central stand like the one pictured, the thumbnail has the cheap, crappy winglets.
The review is for the SE55UY04.
This is the SC5500US.Searching SC-55AU600 i think will turn up reviews for this exact model. They are pretty limited and pretty mixed, but then again this is pretty cheap.
Got 1, this model number is SC55USN8 this is series 8 model… SC5500US is Series 7 model
@Kas: You have one? How would you rate it as a TV for the Shed/Man cave.
Will just be hooked up to PlayStation, Kodi box and maybe an old Wii for sh1ts and giggles.@Tiggrrrrr: Picture and sound quality is good… it has couple of build in apps including prime video, youtube, youtube kids, Netflix, internet browser, screencast (still couldn't connect to this.. )
@Kas: As long as Netflix and Youtube work that's probably all I'll use. When I use via PS it sometimes freezes, so would be nice to have an alternative.
Warning, only has hdmi 1.4 and etc
it's only 60hz and via its HDMI 1.4 ports it can only do 4K at 30hz/30fps. Good price for what it is though.
it says;
• Wireless Connectivity: noneis that mean, do we need to connect using ethernet cable?
Reviews on the target page mention crap WiFi, so does have wireless.
SC55USN8 is on the instruction manual
Bloody beauty mate! MY old man's 55 inch Bauhn from Aldi just carked it so i was on the lookout for the cheapest possible 55 incher and you delivered the goods you bloody legend!
How long did the bauhn last, can I ask?
Was thinking of a cheap tv for alfresco but wouldn’t mind a few years at least :/
Maybe this will doi think 6-7 years or so. I have heard from some ppl the NEWER Bauhns are really dogshite tho and tend to not last more than a couple years at best.
Wouldn't the rain still get to the Alfresco?
Patio? I dunno. It’s outside. Covered.
I have 2 of these but 50" model. not bad! pretty happy with them.
just for reference, I bought during Black Friday sale last year for about $330. Exceptional value.
I still think that $399 for this 55" version is very good, especially brick and mortar shop.thanks for your feedback, whats 3 things you like and dislike about this tv ? :P
like
price
picture quality
has an ethernet port and many other ports, ARC etcdislike
main dislike is hdmi sometimes has issues. something to do with a feature to stop copywriter content or something. forgot the name. causes issues with android boxes etc working at times (even their own Seiki branded product which I bought too).
only basic smart tv - has youtube and Netflix and some kids cartoon thing built in, but you can't add any further apps as they're just bunged into it.thanks so much for this, so it isnt android tv?
@Spennyrich: If you want android, I'd look at kogan and wait till they change models and drop the price on old one. Usually see something cheap every few months.
Does this tv support dlna streaming (e.g. from a media server on the local network)

same here.
58 inches of CCTV is alotta CCTV!
32 cameras. Want to see a few at a reasonable size.
Thanks mate bought one
wat kind of tv is dumb tv just wondering XD
Doesn't have smart TV features, imo "dumb" TV's are so much better. No unreliable software and you can connect whichever TV box you choose.
A simple raspberry pi or a chromecast is better than a lot of smart tv software so when looking at cheap TV's, dumb TV's might be a better option
Better than Android TV too (at least TCL's implementation), I have one and it has so many issues. A dumb TV + Vodafone TV would make a really good pairing.
@Void: I don't like the chromecast control system so if money wasn't a problem, I would rather android tv for ease of use.
@AlmightyBeing: A dumb tv with nvidia shield is the best bet. Kogan do have android tv built ins but I believe they rarely update so you're kin of stuck with whatever version ships most probably.
Nvidia shield FTW
Reviews mention a Netflix button on the remote.
I'd give my first born for a TV where all the cost went into picture quality and not sticking a crappy excuse for chromecast hardware in there.
a family member bought one of these a few weeks ago. (think it was $500-600, small town with not a lot of options)
Had a couple of issues with it - for some reason the remote control was ridiculously unresponsive/sluggish most of the time, which was not a huge deal when simply changing channels/volume etc but it was bloody infuriating trying to do things like set up the connection to our home wifi, get netflix etc connected up…
not sure if the remote was a dud or what… I tried fresh batteries, getting closer, etc. nothing helped.Also had problems when attempting to use the TV as a second display for our desktop PC via HDMI. terrible flickering and glitchyness, totally un-usable. Again not sure why, but the same Pc/cable etc works perfectly with all the other TVs I have used.
We ended up getting rid of the damn thing and bought a different TV for a little cheaper, slightly bigger screen.. think it's a TCL.. Teac? one of those anyway
anybody bought one and can tell me whether you noticed the same problems?
Picked up the TV today. The model is SC55USN8. Picture quality is good, sound quality not so good. Sound quality is slightly better than my old Aldi 24" TV. Sounds like the speakers are facing the wrong direction. No problems with HDMI, not sure if it is HDMI 2.0 haven't tried plugging in 4K 60Hz source. TV is fast. Applications load time and responsiveness is impressive. Much better than my 5YO LG WebOS based smart TV. Was able to cast and control Youtube from my phone. Haven't tried other apps. No problems with Wifi. Video streaming over WIFI was quick and smooth. It is also very convenient to have dedicated Youtube, Netflix, Prime Video buttons on the remote control. I was also able to use keyboard and mouse directly on the TV. Besides the sound quality, there is nothing to fault about this TV, even if it had been at full price.
Picked up mine too. Faster than my 5yo Samsung smart tv. Picture is great sound not so but I connect to a sound bar so no problem. Youtube no problem casting and played well and Amazon prime works well.
Sound is always horrible on panel tvs in general. I just use a good set of logitech PC speakers or a soundbar.
Managed to improve sound quality by playing around with the equaliser. Sound is now acceptable.
What equaliser settings did you end up with,, if you don't mind sharing?
Was able to cast and control Youtube from my phone.
but it's not a chromecast right?
Yes not a chromecast, but you can still cast it from youtube.
Anything more to report after a few days? how is the HDMI still? This is most important to me as it will have input running 24/7. It has wifi and ethernet? Thanks.
All good. Has both Wifi and ethernet. No pro lems with HDMI. This TV is a true bargain.
This sounds like it would pair well with a Chromrecast Ultra
my 2008 52" LG LCD recently died…. hmmm
Thanks OP, ended up pulling the trigger. Ordered click and collect from Chatty. They said it'd be ready by today, so hopefully that happens.
I just need to figure out which GoGet to rent that will fit it in the back!
So I have a dilemma regarding the distance between the legs and the size of most TV units. To those who purchased it, do you guys think the legs can be installed facing inward?
Thats what exactly I did… only thing you have to use L for R and R for L inwards. (Simply you can't turn Left inwards and install to left side) you can't use 3 screws.. just 2. Also remember to put safety strap.
If you have kids, I recomend this,
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/22-70-Adjustable-Table-Desktop-T…Have you measured how far apart the legs are with the standard set up? From my estimation, they seem to be about 1210 mm apart
Yes with standard set up it require atleast 122cm, When legs inwards, 87cm stand enough.
@Kas: Ok good to know, your comment has been very helpful. I have been looking at TV units and they all seem to be 120 cm or less on FB marketplace.
@Kas: By the way, does it feel sturdy with just 2 screws on? I am worried it fails over time with one screw missing.
@F1ProjectOne: Use something like this,
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/22-70-Adjustable-Table-Desktop-T…
Anybody have troubles with their orders?
Mine was meant to be ready to collect on Monday and I still haven't heard a peep from them. I called on Tuesday and they said yeah yeah, today… Ergh.
Don't worry, they took 2-3 working days to get mine ready.
Got it now, I called again. This time, the person was useful and checked. It was sitting there ready to go, but everyone thought it was an "on hold" product so didn't process it :\
Anyway, great TV, liking it, but when I connected it to the TV via the PC, I wasn't getting a signal until I changed it to 30Hz…. Is this normal? I thought it would be at least a 50 or 60Hz refresh rate?
Or am I limited by an old HDMI cable?
Grabbed this guy thanks to OP. When I aw the same TV on display at Target the price was $599, so must be an online deal only.
Menu system is snappy, pleasantly surprised.
Plugged in my Nvidia shield watching Start Wars 4K HDR and looks brilliant.
The sound is better than my old 2015 Samsung.
Overall can't imagine anything better bang for the buck.Haven't tried built-in Netflix. Also there doesn't seem to be a Plex app available, or at least I can't figure out where to find it.

I literally just broke my tv screen, thanks for your update of stock availability, i ordered one.
Just received email saying could not process my order. I actually drove to the store after placing the order to check it out whether there is stock but none. Had a feeling there are none actually despite it said there are limited stock and was able to check out.
Speaking from experience, it may show lock stock but they don't have any stock in reality.
After i have received the "Your order could not be processed" email, i called the store and asked to check if there is any stock for the item no. 63368062, and the guy told me there are 3 in stock. I told him that i wanted 2 of them and told him to hold them for me. I drove up to the store right away and these were at the check out waiting for me.

Call them first so noone else buys it while you're on the way?
After 6 weeks, the TV developed a red vertical line. I hope my TV is the exception.
All good so far after one month, the speakers were crap so I bought a second hand Logitech z506 for $20.
