2020 model but by most accounts is superior to the 2021 models.
Price is already discounted on website, listed at $2297 - but there currently is an additional 20% off which brings it down to $1837.60 (+ Delivery, which to Perth for me is $50).
Not quite as good as the crazy clearance price of 1488 at JB last month, but stock was very hard to come by for that deal.
I was looking at the various 75 inch TVs on sale for Black Friday, under $2000 — most of the current year models all seemed underwhelming in some way or another.
e.g. Hisense U7G/U8G being pauper's pack versions compared to the US; the TCL C727 being full array but no local dimming and only 450 nits brightness.
So, even though the Q8 is last year's model, it has a VA panel, FALD and a good peak brightness of 1000 nits.
From my experience with DJ, I am wondering whether they actually have stock.
