    • Deviner on 29/04/2021 - 23:19

      Seems almost all of the bad reviews are for the Android functionality or the TV's remote, which you could easily get around with an Android box.

      • Spendmore on 30/04/2021 - 00:29

        Doesn't look like this has android, the HD units have full android.

        • Deviner on 30/04/2021 - 01:00
          +3

          I should probably rephrase, merely referring to the "Smart" part of the TV - whatever OS it's using can easily be circumvented with an Android box.

          • Spendmore on 30/04/2021 - 08:23

            @Deviner: I can understand that, we have a "smart" Hisense and it is woeful, no way to add Amazon to it. The available apps in the app store are like C grade apps you would never use like redbull tv or obscure web browsers.

            • macrocephalic on 30/04/2021 - 11:20

              @Spendmore: Must be an old one. I have a hisense smart (non-android) TV and it has Netflix, Youtube, Amazon, ABC, SBS and then a bunch that Inever use. I'm not sure if it has Disney+.

              • Spendmore on 30/04/2021 - 11:38

                @macrocephalic: Yeah it's a 2019 model, I wouldn't mind if the apps were half decent or you could sideload but there is no way to add Amazon on this model.

      • G-rig on 30/04/2021 - 07:22

        Chromecast with Google TV fixes that and is a great addition to most TVs.

        I got the Eko 4k 65" qled for $699 late last year and it's been great.

      • BrownManWalking on 05/05/2021 - 23:13

        What's the point of buying a smart tv if it has crap or no android?

    does this come with free netflix for life?

    • descavenger on 29/04/2021 - 22:54

      It doesn't come with free Netflix to begin with. It just means that it has the Netflix app built into the TV.

      then money back

      • amsaini15 on 29/04/2021 - 23:12

        Not if it goes faulty after 12 months.

          You can still use your statutory warranty. A TV is expected to work beyond 12 months.

  • amsaini15 on 29/04/2021 - 23:14

    I bought DGTEC TV from Bigw and it stopped working in 2 months. Got money back but I am again in market to buy a cheap TV as I need something only for 12 months.
    Not sure if Eko will be fine or trouble again.

    • kfcfatfat on 29/04/2021 - 23:47

      You get what you pay for…. Can't expect a cheap tv to last decades…..

      The better way is get something semi decent with min 3 years warranty and as part of the haggling get them to throw in 2 years extended warranty for free. At lease you will have 5 years peace of mind….

      • amsaini15 on 30/04/2021 - 06:28

        Don't even expect a good TV to last decades. My expectation was quite decent for it to stay alive for atleast 12-24 months. I guess too much too ask for.
        They all should be banned if their success rate is so bad.

          Yes even Sonys are made more cheaply and aren't what they used to be, better off not over spending on this stuff. ACL protects you for a while anyway, got my old Sony repaired when the main board failed after 3 years (when out of warranty), and bought the Eko. The sony was a FHD and probably displayed FTA a bit better but was a fairly old model.

          YMMV, but the Eko has been good unless you get a bad One. Big W would be easy to deal with at least. Can't speak for this exact model BTW.

    Plan on having an ethernet connection, WiFi4/n isn't good enough for consistent 4K streaming.

    • spackbace on 30/04/2021 - 00:05

      Ah yes it is

      I stream Plex 4K Remuxes over wifi

      Streaming is no hassle

      • Jimbuscus on 30/04/2021 - 00:35

        Do you have WiFi5/AC?

    • MasterScythe on 30/04/2021 - 10:41
      +1

      Blanket statements like that dont stick man; it depends on the bitrate youve encoded at.

      But even then, wifi4 allows up to 600Mbps; even if you halve that, it's still more than 6x the throughput you'll need for high quality 4k.

      Netflix 4k is only encoded at 25Mbps.

      And plex officially recommends "150Mbps or faster"

      Wireless N (4) is capable of 300Mbps.

      I have the 65in version and havent had any issue with 4k streaming.

    I purchased this tv not too long ago as it was posted on here for $299.

    I would avoid this tv for the following reasons
    1. Remote stops communicating with the tv randomly and you need to unplug the tv from the wall socket and turn it back on for it to work. Ayonz sent me a replacement remote and fault is still there. Out of the box it says it is up to date with latest firmware.

    1. Soundbar connection is quite poor. Although it his HDMI Arc, it works intermittently and you have to keep playing around with the settings as it seems to reset itself.

    2. Ayonz doesn’t provide in-house warranty for this model. They only provide it for TVs 55inch and above lol. Can you believe this crap?!

    I took the tv back to Bigw and they didn’t refund me as they couldn’t replicate the fault at the time it was Brought in.

    Reviews are also pretty bad. I should have done my research before purchasing.

      So you have to take it home again? Do you still use it?

  • czqlj on 30/04/2021 - 00:03

    Bought one at $299, sold it for $295 on facebook the next day.
    The sound and the image quality are terrible.

    What's with all these TV's and monitors having LED in their names. Are they trying to make us think these are OLED panels?

    • MasterScythe on 30/04/2021 - 10:43
      +2

      No, just telling us their backlight technology, like usual.

      Good to know you're not buying ancient ccfl models.

      • Dalton on 30/04/2021 - 12:08

        Okay, thanks. That makes sense.

  • Wildozer on 30/04/2021 - 10:59

    Well I'm stoked with my 75 inch LED Eko. Although it is Android. I personally couldn't use a smart TV if it wasn't Android. I've had it since the start of Feb and upgraded from a pretty ancient Sony Bravia that was probably a little over 10 years old. So maybe I just don't know what else is out there and how much better a TV can be.

    To me the picture is great, vibrant colours and good darks. Contrast is great. OS is snappy, but again mine is Android so it is probably different on this model. You might want a sound bar or similar, but my stock speakers are doing fine for general use so far.

  • dealman on 30/04/2021 - 16:54

    Read the reviews before you buy !

  • cunningdrew on 01/05/2021 - 20:26

    It's cheap and it's tempting, but after reading a few reviews seems these things fall of a cliff pretty easy.

    I don't have time to deal with dead TV's. Better to just get a Hisense with a 3 year warranty and be done with it.

    • G-rig on 02/05/2021 - 10:28

      Should just buy a Sony/Samsung then pal

    • MasterScythe on 02/05/2021 - 11:22

      ChiQ if you need cheap and 3yr.
      EliteLUX offer 24Month.
      Some of the SONIQ come with 3 year.

      The benefit is, so long as you buy bigger than 32" It's all in-home service, so while it's not ideal, the grand total of your 'effort' is simply being home.
