      i got the 55" around this price last year, granted i dont watch much TV i dont have any reason to fault it, it seems to perform better in 4k than a friends branded 65" (cant remember what brand - his can get a little slide showy).

      it is a dumb TV but i prefer that to throw a chromecast on it rather than updating or putting up with buggy software

      bonus point the remote was compatible with some other no-name TV i had in the house (save on the cost of charging a pair of batteries )

        Hmm nah it's not Android TV. According to the manual:

        Smart TV Applications
        • Netflix
        • YouTube
        • Amazon Prime Video
        • NetRange Smart TV Apps

        You cannot download any extra apps on this TV.

        As for the "4K Ultra HD Resolution Chromecast Built-in"

        The Screencast feature enables you to echo the display from a compatible Android device like a smartphone or tablet on the TV screen by connecting your mobile device directly to the TV wirelessly. In order to use this feature, your device must support Wi-Fi Display technology.
        Apple iOS operating system is not supported.

    has this got Ethernet and Disney+? thinking of using it as a tv in my man cave just for watching movies (blurays) and netflix and disney. not an everyday tv so wouldn't get a huge amount of use daily or weekly. any thoughts whether it would be suitable for that? if it doesn't have ethernet and netflix and disney it's a dealbreaker so if not recommend a 65" plus tv that has all that that's not super expensive! i would be open to buying a nvidia shield to go with it thought if that would allow me averything I want if it's a suitable tv.

    "Watch fluid action in sports and films with the Linsar television's 60 Hz refresh rate."

    I'm in tears. This refresh-rate literally predates 99% of the technology in this TV.

    • Jackson on 14/10/2021 - 00:10
      +1

      I don't know why 60Hz is so bad, pretty sure one of my TV's is 120 and another is 60 and while the 120 is nicer to look at its not because of the refresh rate, after all its a 500 dollar tv

      • mett139 on 18/10/2021 - 13:54

        I agree. All of my monitors and TVs are 60 Hz. I have yet to waste money on an uneccesary upgrade like this.

        I'm just pointing out that you literally cannot buy a TV with a refresh rate lower than 60 Hz, so it's such a ridiculus claim to make by the seller. It would be like saying "Enjoy relaxing from your couch and not having to stand up to change the channel, with our wireless remote".

        • [Deactivated] on 18/10/2021 - 14:06

          There are new 50Hz TVs that are for sale right now. Like: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/ffalcon-65uf2-65-4k-ultra…

          • mett139 on 19/10/2021 - 14:03

            @[Deactivated]: Oof, I stand corrected. The 50 Hz is strange on a modern TV, though. This was standard for CRT's as it matched the AC frequency, but with modern TV's normally using mostly DC electronics, this is a bit weird. Sounds like a red flag for FFalcon products to me. What corners are they cutting to get that cost down…

    • Diji1 on 14/10/2021 - 00:20

      Er no most TVs are 60 despite marketing claiming otherwise.

      If they aren't 60 they're 120.

      • Canberralad92 on 14/10/2021 - 06:46

        Yeah we've only been getting true 120hz panels in the mainstream segment for a few years now. All the other claims are motion rate marketing speak.

        And if you can't tell the difference between 60-120hz go trade in your eyes.

          that's very fast, I ordered this deal same night it was posted, i.e. Wednesday night and now that you say yours is delivered I went to check my order it says backordered. Its a bit disappointing when they don't use the first in first serve model.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/10/2021 - 10:28

    I bought one. Picture is not terrible. Sound could be better, but that's to be expected. Noticeable backlight bleed. Cloudy and inconsistent at full black. No banding, which is nice. The best part is that it turns on VERY fast, about 3 seconds. I don't use any of the smart features, and I don't get FTA reception. Worth the money.

    • tunzafun001 on 16/10/2021 - 14:37

      Can you turn the backlight down to stop bleed and provide better blacks? Plus do the settings remain the next time you turn it on?
      Our cheapy defaults back to full backlight every time you turn it on. Adjusted properly it uses half the power and looks magnificent. Default setting is terrible.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2021 - 14:39

        Yes, but then all the other colors look dull. It's only an issue for all black. Near black grays look fine.

  • skinnytie on 15/10/2021 - 13:41

    @Skylex are you comparing the picture quality to other brands normally in the $600-$800 price range, or to Sony/LG/Samsung level brands?

    I'm looking to replace a Hisesnse that's about 5 years old and probably cost ~$800.

    It seems like new (to me) entry level brands like Linsar and FFalcon have emerged in the last five years. I can't work out whther brands like Hisense and TCL have moved slightly upmarket, or the quality of the entry level TVs has decreased as well as the price.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/10/2021 - 13:52
      +1

      The only TVs I own currently are this, a very old Samsung LCD, and a Panasonic plasma. Before that I bought multiple other TVs, most of which had some kind of issue. All LCDs seem to have cloudy all blacks. I also had electrical interference issues, which meant I preferred to use VGA analogue input. This lacks VGA, but it's impossible to find anything new that supports VGA.

      Compared to my old Samsung, I would say this is better. I don't think it's quite as good as the plasma, but it's also bigger than both, and so it's not a direct side by side comparison at the same size.

      I had a Sony 65" before but the blacks were very cloudy. There was also some noticeable banding in grays. This TV has the same issue with blacks looking cloudy, but grays, and other solid colors look fine. There's also no banding, and the color is consistent while watching animation.

      The main reason I returned the Sony was the electrical interference, which meant I'd constantly get a brief black screen, and the display input screen would flash up. Sometimes the interference was not enough to lose picture, and no black screen, but I would still get the display input shown. This interference happened every time someone opened the fridge, or turned on a light.

      TLDR: I'm comparing it to everything from Soniq, Kogan, and various Chinese brands no one has ever heard of, Dick Smith, Sony, Samsung LCD and Panasonic plasma.

    Pretty disappointing. Went to pick up but they only had display one! Apparently system allocates display tvs for online orders. They could knock off another $30 but no box, hence I just asked to get it delivered (for free, as worried transporting tv without box) They said it could take a week or more, wth that’s not great customer service.

  • tunzafun001 on 16/10/2021 - 14:38

    So how do you determine which TVs have the best upscaling.

    We watch free to air TV and the upscaling will be crucial in 65+ " TVs.

  • Mooncow95 on 16/10/2021 - 18:12

    I impulsively bought this not really questioning how big a 65inch tv is, (haven’t had a tv in my house since I moved here 5 years ago) it is so HUGE that it doesn’t fit on any of my furniture apart from dining table and so now I have to buy…a unit thing to put it on I guess 🙄 I probably should have researched. It seems really good though, i never would have thought you could get a tv this huge for this price. I paid $445 + delivery. (Latitude pay $50 off)
