Bauhn 85 4K Smart TV model ATV85UHDW-0122
i so agree with you.
$1500 on an Aldi tv. please
it's for people who drive Hyundai's and claim its the same experience as driving an Audi.
what the hell do people expect from an Aldi tv, really.
yea. its big. like a big turd :)
have a nice day
@Nilfunds: Seems like you are stuck in the 90s.
No longer is audi that reliable a car manufacturer and no longer are Hyundai that bad.
I get what he's saying. It's like those people who have heaps of Ferrari branded clothing but drive an Echo. Cringy.
Yes that's a better context! Exactly very cringe!
a panel is a panel in the end of the day, clothes are not cars. 85 inch is huge and its LCD tech not some 85 inch cathode tube crt tv. low end lcd is still good. what you lose in this is product support and longevity but i would argue that for someone on a budget it makes sense to get this and be ok with it potentially dying in 3 years and then upgrade again.
@Silent-zai: This was my philosophy when I bought a Bauhn 65" 5 years ago for ~$800. Recently had a flickering screen issue that turned out to just require a reseating of a ribbon, now I'm still getting more bang for buck each day that it lives. You won't see my glowing review published anywhere either, not that it didn't deserve credit, just cbfed. Would happily buy any of these bang for buck big screen TV's. Problem is this one might be too big for my place, but it's got me thinking 🤔.
Not similar at all. I don't expect people with this TV wearing LG branded clothing.
You mean Italians?
Voted you up because I'm sick of being downvoted when I post contrary stuff. I also think this might make a really good 'crap TV' for the BBQ area or like in the back of the garage - maybe sports venues or pubs might consideri t?
It's a great thing to encourage good 85" makers, to drop prices tho!
I don't mind the negs cuz I know it's coming LOL
I would think a pub wouldn't even take the risk. Can you imagine all the sports fans watching a live stream and the TV blacks out?!
Perhaps back of garage or pizza shop ok maybe if you had a spare 1.5k to churn
It's destined for landfill!
I don't think that harsh - sometimes these low tier brands are fine, just not preemo quality. Could be the TV OS stuff is crap or the black levels suck in a movie. Maybe motion a bit crap, but if it's a TV people casually glance at for footy scores. $1500 vs $3000, that's some savings.
I don't care myself, I just want super super high quality and huge and cheap, so I'm waiting and waiting.
65" Plasma keeps holding strong.
Anyone who's main concern is lux living, living to show off is a complete tool.
I agree with you - soz about the negs you got from other people !
Personally seen these kind of tv's myself and they look ok on demo content but rubbish on FTA or videos. Not for my taste but I am sure there is a market out there for those that dont know what quality is!
Where have you seen Aldi or Kogan etc demo their TVs?
I have an LG 85" which I paid 5.5k for a few years back, but I'd love to get this one in another room. Do I still know quality?
I'll just have to tape up the brand before people come around to save myself the embarassment.
er.. I have seen these at people's houses? Demo content can be downloaded freely off the internet - I Have a dew DTS Demo Discs?
As a joke, save yourself the embarassment and just don't buy it? ;)
@subdaman: Nah. I'll still get it and proudly show off my bargain purchase. My normal friends and family would admire and not judge. :)
Man… everyone is mean.. Just an opinion but i would say a bit presumptuous
It is like people saying i own a European car.. and it is a VW or Renault
It is no different to the belief that HuaWei has the same tech as apple but apple sell more phones.
But.. everyone has their own budgets.. fun fact ( something like 70% of people live pay cheque to pay cheque)
If i didn't have the money but wanted a huge TV, i think it is fine.
Many people out there who want the nice things but can't afford it. Aldi gives a decent warranty so why not.
Also, some people might use in their office for business
Hell if i needed a TV for my security cameras or front desk, i'd buy one of these.
Actually, I'm pretty sure i have an Aldi one for my security camera system.
Why is Energy consumption (Watts) no longer mentioned anymore?
A lot of finger pointing at the government at the climate summits..yet we are the consumers actually driving it. Alibaba have 102" inch TVs, but why would you want one. Chews heaps of energy and the picture looks like crap.
Inches on TVs is like cars with big engines it really is an exercise in egos rather than practicality.
It is like buying a 500L+ two door / french door fridges for $1k they have really bad power efficiency (about 500kwh a year) where as a 500L top / bottom mount you can find that uses 400kwh a year.
What are you on about?
Who buys a large screen tv for bragging rights?
Even homeless people can afford them now, no one cares bro
Even homeless people can afford them now, no one cares bro
What are you on about?
@netjock: Simple, he's saying TVs are cheap and are no longer a bragging right, like when rear projectors or LCDs/plasmas first came out. It's old news.
@[Deactivated]: When homeless people are hanging around with their large flat screen TVs at their feet I'll believe it. I don't know which affluent area of homeless people you guys live in.
@netjock: In what world would you actually really think someone is bring serious when they say a homeless person could afford a tv? Where would they even put it being homeless?
Did it not cross your mind that I was trying to make a point?
Just to hammer it home for you:
TVs have become infinitely more affordable than almost anything else out there.
Did it not cross your mind that I was trying to make a point?
Pointless point.
TVs have become infinitely more affordable than almost anything else out there.
More affordable than $20 for a room for the night?
You're kidding yourself. Some people want a huge image. I can't stand tiny TVs or tiny monitors.
I have a 65" TV and it's the SMALLEST I'd ever consider and I've had it since 2013……….. you can be sure my next is 75" minimum.
You're kidding yourself. Some people want a huge image. I can't stand tiny TVs or tiny monitors.
When were you born? It probably isn't size of the image, I'm sure size of a SpecSavers shop front is big enough for you to find it.
I know people in their 20s who would have been watching 32" TVs when they were young as larger screens were way too expensive.
@netjock: I was born in the 70s and my glasses give me 20/20 vision.
If you want a piddly screen, go for it. I see no value running a 4k, 65", 75" display at over 10 to 15' away from my eyes.
You want to see the detail and be immersed in the image, then you need to sit kinda close, to a big display or far away from a MASSIVE display.
You are definitely correct, the consumer wants bigger TVs. But to me it's like people driving V8 4WDs around the city. Sure its big, but it's inefficient and the comfort and performance in reality are rubbish. I just don't get it. Broadcast content isn't close to keeping up. If 4K was mainstream, and we were knocking on 8Ks door, then yeah, this might work. But we've only just got 1080 sports, but the 576 rubbish is still being dished up. You walk into someones house with a 75 screen that looks terrible, and it just has "try hard" vibes all over it ..and it's chewing through heaps of power. I think I'm just cursed with really good vision. Anymore than a 65" running 1080 looks like pure crap to me. TGG's have their display models connected to DVD players. Wall to Wall of pixelated stink that chews over 250 watts. The Samsung super stink uses 470 watts!! I shudder to think what an Aldi 85 TV would look like and how much power it uses.
What!?
Your analogies are bad.
"Bigger engines" are actually more practical for things like towing, work, extreme terrains etc.
Buying a two door fridge regardless of power efficiency might be practical for larger families.
All practical reasons and nothing to do with egos.
Bigger engines" are actually more practical for things like towing, work, extreme terrains etc.
Yeah mate I would suggest checking the number of big engine cars with tow balls. You seen a tow ball on a Mustang? Why do people buy bigger vans instead of towing a trailer? I guess the same for trucks. Having a big engine doesn't mean your car is built for towing. You'd think with the torque of a Tesla they'd be great for towing.
Buying a two door fridge regardless of power efficiency might be practical for larger families.
Top / bottom mount is also two doors like side by side.
Cheap side by side fridge 584L 598kwh pa 2.5 star efficiency
cheap top mount 535L 334kwh pa 4 star efficiency
49L (9%) bigger doesn't explain using almost twice the power
@netjock: Tesla and battery powered vehicles are simply not practical yet. A V8 land cruiser is usually the vehicle of choice for caravan goers (for practical reasons). People who buy V8 Mustangs could also need power to overtake when doing a lot of hwy driving so could still be classed as a practical choice.
"Practical" could be defined differently though but back to the original point, TV size has no relation to car engine size and is a bad use of an analogy.
V8 land cruiser is usually the vehicle of choice for caravan goers (for practical reasons)
And how many large engine cars are Land Cruisers. Of those land cruisers how many are towing at all? Over all a small proportion of the vehicle fleet.
People who buy V8 Mustangs could also need power to overtake when doing a lot of hwy driving
Average Australian, what proportion of kilometers a year is done on highways? Buying something that is rarely required.
bad use of an analogy
Obviously from the above you know all about bad analogies.
@netjock: It's your analogy not mine *facepalm.
It doesn't matter what proportion of land cruisers are being used for towing or 4x4 duties. The fact is, there are practical people who choose them for practical reasons and not just for ego like you're suggesting.
It's the same reason you don't see tradies driving around in Corolla's. They drive utes, often with larger displacement and turbo engines.
But no.. it must be their ego's.
It's the same reason you don't see tradies driving around in Corolla's. They drive utes, often with larger displacement and turbo engines.
But you also see plenty of utes with nothing in the back. You seem to believe just because there is a try then people must be using it.
It doesn't matter what proportion of land cruisers are being used for towing or 4x4 duties. The fact is, there are practical people who choose them for practical reasons and not just for ego like you're suggesting.
Yes it does. You still don't get the idea of over consumption like much of the western countries. People buy land cruisers who never tow, doesn't have the skills to drive off road and doesn't have enough people to fill the 7 seats. It is like why do people buy $100k Mercedes sedans. They have an allergy to money? Is that the utility?
@netjock: No.
Stop deflecting from your point. You assume everyone chooses an 85" tv because of their ego. Just like people choose V8 Land Cruisers and turbo powered utilities because of their ego.
Your perspective is laughable and flawed.
You assume everyone chooses an 85" tv because of their ego
Did I? You assume I meant that. This is what I said:
it really is an exercise in egos rather than practicality.
You don't get comparatives I think it is time to do some further personal development.
There is no correlation between size of TV and academic achievement. We know that from your comprehension of what I said.
@netjock: I enjoy rolling in the mud as you do (it seems) but you're still wrong and it's obvious.
Let's break it down as it seems you assume I need further personal development when it might actually be around the other way.
Inches on TVs is like cars with big engines it really is an exercise in egos…
In this context you're using "exercise" as a noun meaning an activity carried out for a specific purpose. That purpose being ego or one's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
rather than practicality.
Following from the previous 1st part of this so called "comparative" statement, you explicitly indicate practicality as a contrary choice of exercising one's ego or a comparative variable (exercising ego vs being practical).
Put together, you're saying anyone with a relatively large TV or car with larger engine displacement have made their decision based on attending to their ego and self-esteem and not for practical reasons as previously discussed.
No assumptions made, you've written it in black and white.
So again, I'm not sure why you persist other than for the purpose of feeding your own ego which is coincidental considering it takes one to know one.
@tap: Still no mention of "everyone" you really need to understand the use of words. Suggest you not try to explain away where the word everyone went.
@netjock: Netjock.. sorry mate, you need to stop trying to weasel your way out of defeat. You got owned, real bad too. Trying any further will just be more embarassing.
@[Deactivated]: Another one who swears I wrote "everyone". "Exercise" is not the same as "everyone" if you have another axe to grind like the other guy because you have a land cruiser V8 with a shiny tow ball and a 100" TV then so be it.
@netjock: You're right. Exercise is not the same as everyone. Luckily I defined it above for you. If your intention was not to generalise everyone then does that mean you think that people who buy large TVs and drive V8s also base their decisions on practicality?
Because it seems you've lost yourself here and as @nub mentioned, it's actually embarrassing and I'm starting to feel sorry for you.
@tap: Just because you get your mate to come on here to support you, doesn't make a difference. If I go and exercise my rights doesn't mean everyone should do it. Don't mix a statement with applying to everyone.
@netjock: My mate? Now who's making assumptions. I've never met @nub in my life (proof in my profile history etc).
I didn't mix anything by the way. You did. Read your own statement again and accept defeat. It's an important lesson in life you obviously haven't learnt yet.
@tap: Nope. Still didn't write "everyone". Stop trying to weasel the word in there.
Why are you so interested? Put your foot into the mud now trying desperately get it all off?
I've never met @nub in my life (proof in my profile history etc).
Didn't know you list mates and families in your profile history. Sorry that ain't going to pass.
@netjock: You've really lost the plot now. If you bothered to look at my history of comments you'll discover no mention or interaction with @nub (and vice versa on their account). If you can't comprehend what you said then this will simply fizzle to the pathetic cries of your denial. I was engaged at first and it was fun while it lasted but I don't think I can keep this up. I'm simply bored. I might have a look at something else you've posted to see if we can spark a new challenging debate but going off previous experience I feel like I would end disappointed and no better off.
@tap: Just playing with you. You really have a bee on the bonnet from my comment. Have fun. I'm off.
Why would anyone buy an off brand television..?
On big ticket items like TV's where the technology improves so quickly, sometimes I prefer to buy a cheaper TV when new panel tech is about to be introduced, knowing a Bauhn will last a few years until the next-gen must-have 10k nanoledot has come down from $12,000 to $4,000.
I gambled with a 65” Bauhn a few years back. Build quality was pretty bad but PQ was ok for the price. (I did have to tighten some screws along the top at the back to reduce some backlight bleed). There was also a slight curve to it. 😬 Mine ended up getting intermittent flickering so I returned it.
I wouldn’t recommend getting one.
Exactly my point above. Folking out $1.5k is still alot of money and not worth spending it on junk low quality devices.
That is terrible you had to adjust screws to improve picture quality… Another item to landfill
I have a Aldi Bauhn TV that just won't die. Picture quality is fantastic for its low price, has far outlived my Hisense which has been ridden with issues since day 1 and now shopping for a new TV with the refund. The Bauhn TVs can be great value for their money.
Choice magazine rated Bauhn TVs about on par with Kogan ones for durability and quality.
Probably cos they come from the same factories.
They use the same firmware, so its a big possibility
Just a different labels and painting of the brand. Generally is the case. Probably factory seconds too as all the good stuff TCL / Hisense / Midea probably takes.
What you do is get 4 of them and tile them for a 170” extravaganza!
Why stop at 4 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Because they'll only have 2 in stock anyway.
i just bought a 85" tv. once you go 85" you'll wonder how you did without one before… best purchase ever
What model
He strapped 2 42" plasmas together diagnolly it's using checkerboarding to upscale.
No HDMi 2.1 though . Better to wait until this becomes the standard
Dare I ask what sort of input lag this thing might have? Anything even remotely decent and it might be good for gaming.
Is it me or are these TVs look laggy and terrible sound?
When have you seen one in action?
At my house
Surely after $1500 you can spend $200 on a Yamaha soundbar at least.
That's no issue but just saying terrible sound on the tv
Are you saying the TV speakers are bad, or are you saying the TV makes the sound quality bad even when using an external sound system?
You're misguided if you're looking for good built-in speakers in a modern TV, the TV's are trying to be thin which directly opposes the TV's ability to produce good sound. Even very high tier TVs you can expect pretty mediocre sound from the built in speakers.
@Alzori: Inbuilt tv speakers
All the inbuilt ones I have before like LG, Sony, Panny, Sharp, Samsung have had decent inbuilt speakers and low input lag. Obviously cost way more.
But I don't agree that all high end TVs have mediocre sound from built in speakers. Just bauhn for now.
I bought a $199 Thompson LED 42" dumb tv for the bedroom - picture in free to air 1080 is great. Standard def shocking. Sound from onboard speakers is (really) shocking so we use an external speaker. HDMI using Chromecast - perfect. OS is poor and buggy but the HD picture at $199 can't be beaten. See how long it lasts us though..
sounds better than the Bauhn
Shipping comes in at $200 for me.
Before anyone ordering it online you better read the product specifications.
Refresh rate is only 60Hz.
Gross Weight: 53kg
Ok I know the Aldi TVs aren't preemo but man it's so good to see this size so cheap! The high quality stuff will come down to compete with it in time.
Good good news.
You mean like Audi dropping the price of A3 hatches to compete with MG hatches?
USB output DC 5V 500mA
Power source AC 200-240V, 50/60Hz
Power consumption Max. 500W
Think Ill miss this one Thanks
so how much would this cost a year if run 5 hours a day?
~$180 (at 20c/kWh)
Are you really taking the max consumption rate and just multiplying?
Smh
dont forget australia consumer laws………..
Waiting for 130+"
you may have to sit in the backyard
Skippy !
would this be ok for ps5?
No HDMI 2.1 would be better off going a 65 that could handle fast motion
OK = yes.
Good = no.
Unfortunately, ALDI delivery service is currently unavailable in your area
same issue.. WA is unloved!
this should be good for my kids room, and its cheap enough that if it breaks i won't cry. lol
currently have the 98" Neo QLED Samsung in the main living room on the 1st floor. best tv ever, i highly recommend it. it replaced my 86" LG QNED 8K tv. we moved that into the living room on the 3rd floor since it doesn't get used as much as the one down stairs. still a great tv though, just not after u watch on the samsung.
You still have LCD TVs though. Not really great compared to OLED. just my 2 cents.
i bet its better then you 32" CRT, lol
change your 2 cents to $60,000 for an 8K OLED TV isn't as big as what i have. i already paid $20,000 for mine, and that's already expensive. I am not paying $60k for one tv.
im rich, but not that rich, lol. that's like complaining about my Porsche and saying its not a jet. lol
4th floor the walls are made out of TVs
Not really same context. Big house does not mean cheaper.
This is a low quality device displayed in a very large screen. I don't get why people would buy it at a rather large expense of 1.5k
You could get a better quality 65 at 1.5k
