        It's OK but not great. Ie can watch the news or a tv show without being offended but it would be unsatisfying for a proper movie experience.
        Have heard worse.
        The picture was good to go out of the box. Haven't adjusted or tweaked anything but just tuned it in and that was all that was needed. Don't recall every buying a TV that did not require some degree of adjusting before

      • Parth71 on 09/03/2024 - 08:28

        No complaints for the price and the fact that it is non smart, I am loving it but the sound is pretty terrible. I have connected it to my receiver using an optical cable and no issues.

      • A-mak on 10/03/2024 - 02:34

        I grabbed this on the previous deal, sound is more than you expect on a $300 tv. Mums cheapo 'smart' aldis tv I had to hook speakers up to as it was so garbage, however this one I am yet to bother buying an optical cable to hook it up to my amp (tv it replaced had RCA out which I was using to the amp).

        The downside to this tv is it was very easy for me to notice ghosting in movies streamed via non-4k chromecast.

    Really happy with mine, I had been holding off on a new TV for years. Does everything it needs to, everything else is done by Google TV. Great combo.

    • PriceJack878 on 22/03/2024 - 12:17

      yeah same for me, it fit my existing VESA mount, connected google tv (chromecast) which turns it into a smart tv, that worked fine with CEC so can also use out of box remote for all functions, then jus added a soundbar via optical cable. $300 well spent, picked up from Sydney location on last deal, no issues whatsoever.

    • dosada on 08/03/2024 - 16:21

            @dosada: To say that "..people should study or find a job…" I find it rather judgemental. Some people, like myself, due to certain circumstances, are unable to find a job. No, I am not a bludger. I worked for just under 30 years until I was diagnosed with a rare condition and was unable to work even before I was diagnosed. I realise that I am in the minority, but believe me, I would much prefer to be contributing to society, than being dependent on government handouts.

            @altomic: This kind of reinforces what I'm saying - if someone's looking for a cheap disposable TV, why would they buy one brand-new instead of getting one 2nd hand for 1/3 the price? $300 - you're wasting your money.

        • infinite on 08/03/2024 - 20:42

          It's everyone's personal responsibility to spend within your means.

      I see several of these TVs for sale for only $100. So basically the minute you take this TV home it's dropped 66% in value.

      That is a weird way of saying "it has amazing resale value as it only depreciates by $200".

      The entire price of this TV is still less than what you would lose reselling a flagship TV model.

        Excellent point. Nobody is suggesting buying a flagship model though - an entry-level TV from a name brand would hold it's value much better.

          Noone is buying a second hand entry level brand name tv costing say $1500 for any more than $1000 on marketplace i would guess, hence at least a $500 drop in price, much more than your $200 price drop.

    OK. Those who have bought, what is the picture quality like.
    Is it bright and contrasty, or pretty washed out. I know it's hard to compare, but just trying to get a feel of how acceptable the picture quality is.

    • RHSteven on 08/03/2024 - 17:43

      A little bit on the darker side, compared to other known brands , they are just much more colorful. Would rather add a few hundreds for a Hisense. Regretted

    • rhangman on 08/03/2024 - 21:11
      +1

      Technically that RCA cable would work, however it is a single cable designed for digital audio and this TV only has optical out for that. Also has other RCA connectors, but doubt you'd be using any of them. Only one that uses a single cable is the composite video input and I'd really hate to see how that looks. You want a PAL cable if you are planning on watching regular TV. Wouldn't buy a monster anything though.

  • ninnypoop on 08/03/2024 - 21:05

    How's the picture quality? I understand it's not going to compare to a >$1k tv. I currently have a TCL from about 3 years ago (think it cost me $400) and it's passable but not very good, especially in a bright room.
    The pre-installed android tv is very slow on my TCL. So a non-smart, with an external smart system, is the way I wanna go

    • steve123 on 10/03/2024 - 23:35

    lmao that's shit then. My Hitachi died a month or two back. Had it for about 2.5 years. Figured I was SOL until I Google'd and found their 3 year thing, came and picked it up and ended up getting a refund when they couldn't fix it no worries. Shame when companies bail on good practices like that. Sure, my TV dying doesn't give me a shitload of confidence in Hitachi, but their service after the mark definitely made up for it.
