Imgur has an interesting interpretation of what the image contains
50hz in 2023…
Aren't all panels 60hz? I thought 50 hz is just marketing for AU region?
Correct TVs are either 60 or 120. In Aus they limit the TV broadcasts only, to 50hz. In all other modes you get full hz output if content allows it
Cool so you are still getting 4k/60 with your PS5/XSX which is the main thing lol
@moonphase: Newer high end TVs do 4K120 but on PS5 theres only a handful of games that do it. Also it lessens the graphics when on. Xbox has more with 120 but same problem. Id rather have better graphics enabled than better fps.
Is the tv any good or is there better for same price
The old OzB question!
The old OzBargain response
What do you need out of a tv? If you are a casual watcher dont care about finer details, blooming, perfect black levels, etc then this is fine.
Is it your main tv or for extra room?
Not sure really don’t want to spend loads for a tv right now in future yes the bells and whistles once we settle in our own place.
Let’s say the only expensive tv I have purchased was a 3d tv back in 2016 still going strong.
That’s in the cinema room. Our other lounge has an old target tv from cant remember I think 50 inch was in last place lounge also and bedroom before that.
A very old possibly 2009 plasma stopped working in our bedroom so was thinking of putting the target tv back in bedroom and get something for the other lounge like this.
I like my 3d was late to the party of watching 3d so happy to keep this tv in cinema room.
But be nice to get 4K in the other lounge.
But there is so much tvs out there and eofy coming and yes could settle for 65 inch or bigger just something that’s get a nice picture anda good buy.
They're suprisingly not bad for sport. Watch footy and the odd movie on one of these big BU8000's (75 inch) most Friday nights in a man cave. It'd be fine in a family room too, but might want something a bit higher end in a full on home theatre setup.
I don't think you get better bang for buck at least in the larger sizes of this TV, but maybe smaller there are other options.
was able to further get it reduced to $920
How?
Just called their contact centre 1300 942 765 and the bloke did it over the phone
Did what over the phone? How much did you get it for?
900 tomorrow at jb with the perks extra 10% off
I paid mine $832 at JB-hifi during the last deal 2 months ago, under 1k is still a decent price
Wow $832 is even better price how can it be on clearance at current price if was cheaper before very tempted on this or wait for eofy year deals for something else.
I'm gonna hold out till EOFY to see what deals pop up over the period.
me too~~! definitely need a new tv but 75"
what TV models do you own?
now? LG 55" FHD, not sure LCD or what, with 3D feature
from like 2011-2012 cant remember.
@CyberMurning: What is the exact model of LG 55" FHD?
Is the 3D any good?
you not interested in OLED?
how much you want to pay?
what about this?
https://www.binglee.com.au/products/75-cu8000-crystal-uhd-4k…
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-75-cu8000-crystal…
@pinkybrain: probably this
https://www.lg.com/au/tvs-soundbars/lg-55LW6500-lcd-tv
oh well the 3d is a nice feature but probably i turn it on once a year lol… the effect isnt that deep.
yeah will if upgrading i will pick samsung/hisense/tcl but hmm not at that price.
probably my budget is around $1,200-ish. less is better, no need high quality pictures as long 75"and 4K, defintely no need OLED i dont watch tv all day
i have chromecast with google tv.
@CyberMurning: do you want OLED but it just too expensive for your budget?
you can probably get $1200 price for 75"
but it is usually TCL or something like that (which may be best option)
or a base model LG/Samsung which would not be as good.
@pinkybrain: i want 75 and 4K, and decent brand (so not the bigw or aldi brands if possible) and cheap.
the rest, i dont really care. even with big bezel, who cares
@CyberMurning: what about TCL?
seen some that has good price for 75"
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/search?page=1&query=TCL&saleItems=…
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tcl-75-p735-4k-ultra-hd-a…
the samsung/LG 75" unlikely at $1200, have you seen any in ozbargain deal?
most likely they would be base models and not that great
@pinkybrain: yeah tcl, hisense are fine.
this one
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/775397
but i dont have gov access.
@CyberMurning: how it compares to this?
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tcl-75-p735-4k-ultra-hd-a…
not need for government access
@pinkybrain: yeah that looks good.. or i can go up to https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tcl-75-c735-4k-ultra-hd-q…
hmm let me think.. a lot ppl here said wait for EOY sale
@CyberMurning: which you think is better out of the two models?
$796 is quite low already..
Probably that is EOY price, don't think that would get much lower for a TCL brand at 75"
Bing lee price $995
https://www.binglee.com.au/products/tcl-75-4k-quhd-google-sm…
Aldi has cheap 75" around that price or bit cheaper
but the Bauhn brand is crap compared to TCL
@CyberMurning: i just checked some reviews and it has bad reviews
https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/tcl-p735-series
not sure if the other model TCL 75" C735 is any better
probably better to get something better or do more research
@CyberMurning: maybe lower end TCL is the one with the issues
just like lower end any other models could have issues due to cost cutting
@CyberMurning: not saying that is the case here,
there is not enough reported problems of the C series yet to know.
Generally I just get the well known brands = Samsung, LG, Sony etc.
when is deal for jbhifi perk 10pct off?
@pinkybrain: Usually single. Just register with different mobile. Someone here said he has 12 codes just now
@CyberMurning: yeah,
not sure if is just one item or all the items when you checkout gets 10%
wonder how much cheaper are these deals compared to the ebay discounts that regularly occurring
and possible nearing june EOY
Any recommendation for a 43” tv?
This, or the LG 65uq9000psd at Costco for $975?
is IPS only good for monitors and bad for TV?
Correct :)
@Maths Debater: why IPS good for monitors only?
that's weird…why that is that case
are most TV's VA panel
and the expensive models are OLED panels?
What’s the better tv the Samsung on this post or this one.
Sony 65" X75K BRAVIA LED 4K UHD HDR Google TV [2022]
Hmm this 65" or tcl c735 75" ? About the same price, i like bigger but probably samsung is better… and i game with switch only not ps5
Bigger brand name is always prefer
but 75" is much bigger TV, so if you prefer size then that is better.
what about C835 ?
Yeah i measure mine 55" with this 65" not much difference but maybe because my 55 has thick bezel.
So 65 and 75 difference alot?
Nah dont want to apend more $ c835
c835 is TCL second best TV below the C935.
Why not go for the 65" better tier TV for same price as the 75" lower tier C735.
C835 is miniLED vs QLED and has better features (including higher nits brightness, FALD and other stuff.
This will result in better HDR and picture quality
Just picked up the 50” with the 10% off. Added the sound bar and could not be happier as a good option for Apple TV and sports. No complaints about the $680 price I talked them into :)
what TV model?
so you did this instore and supplier your 10% off code?
Dang, sorry, I meant at JB for the 10% members on Tuesday. Samsung Q800 - not top of the line, but just what I need
I got this one on this post but now I’m wishing I had got the tcl c835 now but it is 75inch though and almost $500 more
Not sure why it’s expired still available from the hood guys and obviously jb hifi for same price.
Interestingly showing as $1145 on TGG Commercial
