    Was $599 last month also.

    • wisdomtooth on 10/12/2020 - 15:04

      Yes, from 18 to 23 Nov.

  • albot on 10/12/2020 - 15:02

    This or the EKO?

      That's the question!

      • bmxr on 10/12/2020 - 15:35

        What's the answer?!

        I'm in the same boat for an outdoor, undercover man-cave solution

        EKO has Android TV
        Philips has brand and better sound (no doubt)

        I'm leaning towards the EKO as I have a spare soundbar that can overcome the reported poor sound from the EKO.

        Wondering if you can load/sideload Foxtel Go App on to the EKO.. can't seem to find a clear answer on that.

          Philips has brand and better sound (no doubt)

          I'd never buy a TV for the sound. They could come with no speakers for all I care. You're always gonna beam it to external speakers (or headphones even) for any decent sound quality (other than for straight "news").

        • virtual81 on 10/12/2020 - 16:50

          I'd pay no attention to either internal smarts/android or internal sound.

          Cheap/crude implementations of Android TV are sometimes OK for the first year or 2, but it's not uncommon for them to never recieve updates and to run poorly.

          Sound on a TV is always poor.

          Probably doesn't help but I'd consider neither feature to be deciding factors.

      Could you repeat that?

        This or OLED?

        • virtual81 on 10/12/2020 - 16:46

          Not even remotely the same price range.

    • scottishdave on 10/12/2020 - 18:04

      How about the 55" fFalcon by TCL? It has pretty good speakers and sound for $499.

      My brother has one and it's very good value for money.

      • poisongodmachine on 14/12/2020 - 01:25

        How's the backlight bleed on the FFalcon?

    Can't wait for them to start selling the proper Philips Tv's with ambilight.

    They're absolute rippers

    • wisdomtooth on 10/12/2020 - 15:19

      How about those DIY kits on eBay for $25-45?

      • Drakesy on 10/12/2020 - 15:29

        That kit only works with computers unfortunately.
        I think Philips has a kit for ~$800 that replicates the effect off the TV

        I have a UK import Philips ambilight and the changing colours reflected off the wall creates a much more immersive effect
        Strongly recommend trying it

        • bmxr on 10/12/2020 - 15:38

          Can't believe that HMDI passthrough active bias lighting isn't in greater demand and thus production.

          The Philips Hue gradient solution costs upwards of $1,000 for the whole kit and only does the sides and top of the TV if 75" or larger..

        • wisdomtooth on 10/12/2020 - 15:39

          Ah, right. Some people are making it with an RPi.

          Seems worth it, by what you say.

        • OssieA on 10/12/2020 - 20:26

          UK always get the better tvs. Their linsars have the centre pedestal stand.

    The 58" version is cheaper by $5.

    • wisdomtooth on 10/12/2020 - 16:59

      Wow, didn't notice that! Same is happening with the EKOs.

      Wonder if it's bc the odd size fails the search filters…

      That 58" actually fits the spot I have for it (1400 EKO vs 1302 Philips). Is QLED that much better than std UHD? Saw a comparison of QLED and UHD Samsung screens that was ambivalent…

      • chocolatebegood on 10/12/2020 - 17:15

        There doesn't appear to be much stock of the 58in one around though. I just picked up the 55in for $587 from TGG and they had quite a few in stock.

  • bailzwhat on 10/12/2020 - 19:06

    I have the 55" in my kids room. It works OK, but the UI is a bit frustrating at times.

    I bought this tv through GG commercial for $420 back in October.

  • poisongodmachine on 14/12/2020 - 01:24

    How's the backlight bleed on this?
