EKO 65" 4K QLED TV at the introductory price of $749 from BIG W.

EKO TVs have a pretty good rep in other OzBargain threads. This appears to be their first QLED model and has a "normal" price of $1199.

The plain LED models are usually $699 so for an extra $50 this seems a no brainer to me.

The only downside I can see is the 12 month warranty. We bought using a credit card to get the extra 12 months warranty that most cards offer. Alternatively you could pay with discounted gift cards to save another $37 and take your chances with ACL and BIG W in the event of a problem within the second year.

I picked mine up this afternoon and the guy at the loading dock said they'd already sold five this morning, which was totally unprecedented, so the word is out.

Will update when it's set up but if its a total dog I'm confident I can get a refund from BIG W without any dramas.

    saw heaps of them in-store, display quality is not bad at all for this price range

    • [Deactivated] on 05/09/2020 - 19:40

      Aldi 65" is $599, how would it compare? I was looking at Hi-Sense 75", tho more expensive.

      After seeing the picture quality on my mates LG 65" which he paid around $1,500 it was amazing.

        Go Hisense. Very good bang for buck.
        It will give you a higher sense of what's good picture quality.

          Just be mindful that Hisense OS is junk. Apps missing (they never update app store for new apps) and rarely gets software updates.

      Why would you compare a 50" and a 65" ? Quite different sizing.

      • SonOfATightASS on 06/09/2020 - 16:00

        I agree, make your mind up on the size you want, then compare products. It's just too confusing otherwise. You could compare $/inch but that's a bit silly.

      • striker5950 on 06/09/2020 - 16:28

        i understand what he is comparing although he chose the wrong tv, he should have said c715 qled from ebay for $719 for a 50" with 3 year warranty vs this 65" a lesser known brand with a crappier remote and only 1 year warranty (cant comment on picture neither) etc which is a fair comparison since they are in the same price range so you choose a smaller better tv with 3 years warranty vs a shittier tv which is 15" bigger with 1 year warranty

    Samsung's QLEDs did not do much to bridge the gap between the two technologies (LED and OLED) and in some ways even regressed in performance

    QLED is practically LED, but the name sounds better.

      You are right…but it depends where you will use your TV. OLED is better choice if you watch TV in Dark Room. QLED is more suitable in living room areas.

      Something that article doesn't cover is what QLED actually does: it improves colour volume for LCD. OLED improves colour volume but also offers per pixel dimming.

      QLED without FALD is not a good HDR experience, it's just got an improved colour volume, and not one that people would really notice that much.

    Good QLED panels are actually really nice with great colour reproduction and brightness but not sure about panel quality for this one (unusually low price for a 65"…). But on the bright side, can't be worse than the 10 year old LCD my grandfather watches on in aged care, which more than does the job for people like him.

    • BartholemewH on 07/09/2020 - 00:52
