    Go one week without a television. Change your life, guaranteed.

      tell my GF. If you manage to convince her you will be my hero.
      I could go my entire life without tv :)

          If I left that to her, she would have bought a 4k tv.
          Where 4k refers to the cost, not the screen resolution

      Is it worth to spend more for the q60 compared to the tu8000? I can't figure out the difference..

        Much better colour, brightness on QLED screens in my experience. Personally if I'm planning to buy & use something for a number of years, I don't mind spending more $ to buy the higher-end device.

          Thanks. I found last year model q60 for 995 or this year tu8000 for 1095. Suggestions? Cheers

          • xuqi on 30/01/2021 - 14:06

            @ets27: I'd buy the Q60 for $995 if you can find stock.

                • ets27 on 30/01/2021 - 15:27

                  @jayboi: Yes. Picking it up now. Turned out they didn't have last year's model and they made the 2020 for $1,100

    Penty selling second hand on Facebook Marketplace and gumtree for $50 to $150

    • ets27 on 31/01/2021 - 10:59

      I rarely buy used as I keep what I buy until it dies. Also I doubt I can get something decent for $50

      • HeWhoKnows on 31/01/2021 - 11:04

        I bought a lovely Soniq 55" TV with Samsung panel for $50 just last week
        And I have bought TCL 47" TV for $40 and Skyworth 50" for $60.
        All are in top condition and with remotes

        So they are out there.
        But you probaly need time on your side as such bargains are snapped up very quickly!

        • ets27 on 31/01/2021 - 12:40

          Thanks.
          Don't believe the quality is close to the ones mentioned above.

    Got myself a second hand 55” Samsung 6 series for $450 from Gumtree. My decade old Bravia died a bit earlier. Planning to take the plunge on miniLed and OLeds units become mainstream later this year.

    • ets27 on 31/01/2021 - 17:37

      Thanks. I already got a Q60. For this kind of stuff I'm not very keen for the second hand market.
