At this price I'd have jumped on board.
Oh, I know that. But, the fact they are willing to drop it to this price…
Hisense also abandoned this tech. So, don't expect too much support. Barely any reviews…
Don't buy Hisense TVs if you like firmware updates :)
@Shon: Beyond firmware. The entire tech is not being used by them or anyone else. So, something is seriously wrong and no reviews to claim the quality.
@samkenny: You lost me, what tech? Dual Cell?
@Shon: Yes, to the tech question. Not sure about his claim of its viability as a technology.
@samkenny: They released another Dual Cell this year in the US. Apparently the 2020 one didn't get released elsewhere hence the lack of reviews.
Try searching ULED XD.
@[Deactivated]: If you can link a review for this TV, that would be great. I wanted to buy it at full price but didn't find a single solid review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEMa-CenQwc He talks about how their road map doesn't include it and assumes it to be due to power consumption and extra layer (extra weight).
That’s cheap
Be mindful that it weighs about 40 kg.
Is it including the woofer stand or just the tv
TV 38.5kg
Sub (doubles as the stand) 22.5kg
Oof that's a heavy one, I don't want to wall mount and don't think tv units can hold 60 Kg
@otter-raptor: My Ikea scratch-and-dent one won't, but a nice hardwood one probably will. :)
@eug: Yeah it would , though would cost as much as the tv - however will last for a generation :)
Just curious is 40kg too heavy for a 65? The x90j 75 is 45kg
it more has to do with wall mounting.
Why are you comparing a 65 with a 75 lmao
Just a genuine question mate. No need to argue
@Bjay: Nah no argue just funny.
It has an additional layer to do the funky dual cell action and probably more cooling for the additional power draw.
That's crazy, what makes this model so much heavier than other 65" TVs?
Not many places available for pickup
They should throw in free delivery as well. 65 inch and 40kg.
Holy crap this dropped fast, this a killer deal (I think?) seeing as it is a 3k AUD television at retail.
Looking through reviews now will update with my conclusion soon (im looking for a 65" tv atm).
Cons: No hdmi 2.1 (cmon really?).
- Built in smart tv is kinda trash, if it has the apps you want congrats, if it doesnt bad luck.
- Plan to buy a smart device IE ps5/apple tv.
It looks like it has issues with its display pipeline…
this might be a pass from me.

Wonder if they will bring back oled
I thought the Hisense oled was pretty great for the price.
Seems a steal
Is this a step up from their 65Q8 series?
No
Yes
Maybe
Can you repeat the question
You're not the boss of me now
Stop lookin' at me swan!
One review said that on the side you could see the two layers of the two screens….almost like a ghost image.
Also higher power usage due to two panels.
This is apparently the issue everyone reports (artifacting) holy crap its terrible.

I think this might be a buy, check if you have a dud or non dud and return if its a dud.
Not available in Victoria :(
Just got off the phone with them, there's only one in the whole country in Moore Park and it's a display model.
no WA
no WA
And that's what I would have said if that fat lard Clive won. I'm glad he didn't.
It is 888. At this price it kills ! Thanks op, I think I am the last guy managed to get one in VIC
Lucky if you did! I put my order in 22 mins ago and just got a call from JB who said it's out of stock everywhere.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen to me. Gosh!
Hi mate, What store did you get the call from ?
Kedron in QLD.
From memory the power draw on these was pretty significant
Cause of the subwoofer or cause of the actual tv. Why would they throw in a free sub when people are just buying the tv. These guys have no sense of cost/margin control.
It was the TV, the sub's power draw is comparitively small.
The TV is effectively 2 TV panels in 1 which led to this.
Nice price but too many issues
Thanks CCP, you've done it again.
This was made to have the best of both worlds (peak brightness and black uniformity) and failed miserably.
When I used to work for this poor excuse of a company, I was playing around with the sample and let’s just say it’s nothing to write home about.
A good FALD panel from Samsung or Sony is much better than this abandoned technology.
Can't go wrong with this for this price.
That’s cheap
I bought one. Ill report back.
Now to buy a tv cabinet, and a couch.
Anyone got a recomendation
It’s OOS mate.
I got confirmation, so….. as far as im concerned I have one untill they call me.
The confirmation email is automatically generated regardless of stock levels. Good luck in any event.
@[Deactivated]: yeah, we will see. I semi expect it to be cancelled.

ANNNNDD I got one!
It's gone from website already
Jb also have 75Q8 for $1495 which is also a bargain
I'm kicking myself. I bought this $500 more 6 months ago.
How have you found it? (in case JB find some more stock)
Good TV. Great image quality. The Ultra Smooth Motion must be turned off in settings or the judder / artefacts will show up. The OS is sluggish when navigating within apps. Otherwise it is great especially when watching Dolby Vision or 4k HDR10 content.
Doesn't sound a good TV…
@chris666: English good too sound…
@chris666: It has one issue which owners don't like but it's because it has a setting turned on which imo shouldn't even be included as an option. But it's on by default. It can be easily turned off.
Does the subwoofer really weigh 20kg?
@Plutonus: Yes. I would say so. It's heavy. Same with the TV which needs to be lifted and slotted in the sub's base.
Hisense products tend to drop quite significantly in price compared to other manufacturers.
Damn, hour too late.
Wow, I paid like $3000 for this last year when it was almost impossible to get a TV. I’m Officially handing in my ozbargain licence.

Hisense chinese OS is garbage, would never buy another 1
They are getting better lately. I have 65Q8 and it is 90% as good as my Sony 65x9500H. They both have stunning PQ… sony android interface and better motion handling gives it that edge
Didn't think the order would get through but it seems to have. Support emailed me confirming stock for my order and asking for my preferred delivery date.
Lucky! What time did you order?
6:09PM AEST.
What. That's way after me, and I got a call cancelling my order. I guess the NSW distribution centre has stock. Congrats!
@eug: Unlucky :(
Hope you snag another deal.
@eug: Confirmed, also got stock in NSW.
@eug: Weren’t you told OOS nationwide?
They were probably referring to store stock.
Weren’t you told OOS nationwide?
Yup. I asked if it can be shipped from anywhere in the country and the guy said nobody has one, there's only one in Moore Park and it's a display unit.
They were probably referring to store stock.
I would have thought he would have checked the distribution centre as well. Or maybe they won't deliver such a big item interstate.
Received confirmation email, and asking me for the delivery date now.
still hesitating guys, should I go for it? the other post of sony x9500 seems to be a great price too😱😱
I would go for it, worst comes to worst you can return it or flip it on the old Gummer tree
still hesitating guys, should I go for it?
No, the X9500 is much better so you should get that. I can take care of your 65SX order for you. ;)
oh wow this didn't sell as planned…
