Seems to be an awesome deal for a 47" FullHD Smart 3D TV. This is passive 3D with dual full screen play mode, which means 2 players can play a game and get a full screen to themselves. It also comes with the wireless dongle I believe to connect to your network for all the smart features. I think it also comes with 4 pairs of glasses, at least the 55" does. 100hz native refresh rate with 400AMR

Price is $846.60, but Toshiba are offering $150 cash back which brings it down to $696.50.
This info can be found at https://redemption.isd.toshiba.com.au/Terms/TOSHIBA%202012%2…

The 55" is also available for $1356.50 and you get $200 cashback on that bringing it to $1156.50

Price is also available in store, or free shipping apparently

    The 'cashback' is a prepaid debit mastercard.
    Tv looks incredible and is great for split screen Cod, Halo, Minecraft etc

          Cash is too disposable, and when I carry it i tend to spend it quicker. Can also use the debit card for online purchase, try shoving a $20 note down the phone line.

    For info, I have tried using cinema glasses on a passive LG, and it worked fine. I think passive is the way to go.

    • wtfnodeal on 17/11/2012 - 12:42

      Read some reviews comparing passive and active 3d, both aren't perfect. Passive has lines that is claimed visible when you sit near the tv and Samsung & Sony argued of LG passive 3D display is in fact 720P instead of 1080p but has no issue with brightness and flickers that active has.

      • EnALup on 18/11/2012 - 11:24

        True. Though LG claims it to be Full HD now and got some certifications in Europe.
        http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1…

        They have also rolled out updates for that for all existing 3d TVs few months back.

        Also watching TV within a metre can display lines, otherwise, 2-2.5 metres distance for a 47" inch gives you great Picture quality.

        Cheap glasses and less flickering is the +ve for Passive 3D.

  • whzzz28 on 17/11/2012 - 16:16

    Purchased one - Carseldine JB Hi Fi doesn't have them on the floor, but they had a few out back.
    They have the 55" on display and it looked pretty good, although obviously not calibrated.

    This price might only be for today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) as they have a 15% off on all TV's (except Soniq) and when queried about this, they advised that the $846.60 included the 15% off - although they might be telling me pokies as the guy who did up the order was complaining that the TV was very cheap, cheaper than it should be.

    So my suggestion is purchase quickly!

    1. Alongside a 46" Samsung - the Samsung looked a lot better, much more detail in the picture and with colors, of course at a much higher price as well.

    2. The online price already includes 15% off @ $846.60, in-store price was $996 less 15% to be the same…they can't be fooled!

    Great price, but there are brands with better picture quality if that concerns you!

    • mtchye on 26/11/2012 - 20:14

      Like most TV's this one doesn't seem to play some MKV's, though support for the container is certainly there. Some files have no audio, others cut off on the video at certain points.

      Certainly no replacement for a decent media player I think - unless a firmware upgrade fixes it.

  • frostee on 17/11/2012 - 23:45

  • ilikebargains on 18/11/2012 - 00:30

    Dad has a passive LG tv and it's much easier for me to view personally, i hate the flicker you can get from active 3d, it makes me go wonky. I have no difficulty with passive 3d unless the image comes wayyyyy out in front of the tv. Also the argument about losing lines? I'm pretty picky and it's very hard to tell any difference unless you get very close to the tv.

    passive = win.

    I bought a 40TL900A a couple of months back for more than this. The only issue that i have with this panel is that it tales a while to get he screen to turn on from standby. Im not sure if its my set up, but its a bit slow (if you are the impatient kind). I dont watch free to air and use it 99% with my media pc connected through my onkyo amp via hdmi, controlling both amp and tv via 1 remote - not sure if this is the reason why it takes so long.

    Overall, im happy with my screen and it works well. Once home, you cant tell the difference between the other brands ;)

        Are you for real dude? Toshy laptops are awesome sure, but when it comes to tvs, Sammy and LG any day. Toshiba use LG panels on these TVs above and same processor but fail to render the same LG results for blacks and SD quality.

        Currently have LG LED and Sammy after I had to return the uninspiring Toshy.

        For someone who hasn't experienced big LCD LEDs before, they wouldn't know the difference. For the price, not bad I say, certainly mych better than wasting time on Kogans and Bauhns etc

Current old 33" CRT viewing range is is 2.8 Metres which can be extended to 3.3 to 3.4 metres but to CRT massive size… Went to the store to simulate viewing distance.. Seems like on 55" my eyes where hunting around more and 47" eyes was more centred.. 47" seems more logical but dont want to regret not getting 55" haha! hard to decide when its not in your house..

    Any help deciding from other ppls experiences?

    • johnt107 on 18/11/2012 - 19:02

      My dilemma also. Moving from a 37" which is fine as a tv, but movies are not immersive. So we've decided to go with the 55" to ensure we stay impressed with movies and 3D.

    I spent a while in-store deliberating over this TV after looking for something like this for months.

    After playing with the lighting between this and the Samsung (at ~$1250 inc 15% discount) and I got this reproducing some pretty comparative quality. The Samsung was still better, but the Toshiba got pretty darn close.

    I bought the Toshiba, and it's been 24h now and it's been fantastic for the price. Very happy so far.

    • Dr Techno on 18/11/2012 - 21:15

    • johnno1987 on 21/11/2012 - 08:52

      Yeah, I spent like 2 hours in store deliberating this purchase. Originally, the TV did look dull in store. But the guy serving me let me use the remote to change it around. After a few adjustments, I got this set looking a lot better and decided to buy it. I took some high res videos in on a usb stick to check media player playback also, played all I put through it, avi, mkv, and mp4. I also purchased the LG Dual View glasses to play the dual view games, and it works surprisingly good. But you can still see a little bit of each others screens. Sport looks very good on this set, I watched the soccer on Foxtel HD, and it kept up fine with very good colour reproduction and no real stepping/artifacting

        Hi, would you mind telling me your settings? I'm no visual-phile(?? is that the word?) so I don't know how to set my tv to its optimal settings.

    ha! purchased mine last night at 10pm after debating all day between 47" and 55".. 55" won :)

    Does anyone know if JB Courier call to pre-arrange delivery date/time if ordered from online?
