Yeah I know Gerry Harvey hate etc etc, but I walked in today to find a cracking deal. HN has matched JB's weekend Perks 15% off all TV's deal which has made the C4 even cheaper than it already was as HN had the lowest ticket price already! Perfect weekend to be in the market for a new TV, picked up an 83". Only store in my area that has any stock too.
Yes, woled and no Dolby vision.
Wow that sucks, I just picked up an S90C from the edu store and I was contemplating the S90D, lucky I gave it a miss
Yes you bet!!
Rtings says there are only few minor upgrade between s90c to s90d, still s90c is the best tv in 2024..
Yes their comparison is exactly why I stuck with the S90C! I am absolutely blown away with it, I got the 65" for bit over $1800 by stacking student discount with app discount, unbelievable bargain.
@deanylev: Yep my S90C 65 arrived last week and it’s absolutely bonkers. I paid $1600 from that Samsung Shop deal
Bought my 65inch S90D in May, it's QD-OLED. Any model ending in WXXY is QD-OLED, which is the 55 and 65inch models
Yes I'm seeing 77 though…
wow great deal. Buy with the soundbar to get another $500 off. I just got my 83" C4, LOVE IT!
Can do the same thing with price match at JB with HN price and use the 15% off. But i would go with HN and use latitude, you probably get $400 Gift Card (10%) from Latitude too.
I would actually go HN, get C4 83" for 4906.20, get a wall bracket (or something else) to make it above $5,000. Pay with Latitude to get 10% Gift Card, so $500 Gift Card. So basically, your TV cost around $4500. You still get $400 GC if you buy just the TV for $4906.20, but spending $5k give you $500 GC.
That sounds amazing. Do you have the details on the 10% gift card deal?
Never mind, found it, it’s here: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/customer-service/interest-fr…
There’s a monthly account keeping fee but I suppose you could just pay it off right away and close it to only incur it once. Probably.
Does this work for latitude 28 degrees cards?
Bought the C4 on Sunday, delivery tomorrow. Anyone know when the giftcard will be sent? Physically or by email?
Does latitude pay still work in Aussie? Heard they have closed the business.
Quite cheap for a new C4 model.
Usually not till later in the year we see these kinds of prices and cracking price for the 83"
Adding the soundbar does not give the discount? Seems like we can only have one discount at chrckout?
You are right. The $500 soundbar discount does not apply after putting in the Promo Code. Maybe worth trying to do in-store if anyone is interested in that soundbar
Omg!!!!!! I literally just bought it today for $4000 thinking I got a bargain… is it worth it to try to fight for the discount?
I got the 77” and 9.1.5 810W soundbar surround set with 3 year replacement warranty on each and delivery for $5590. I think it’s a great deal but weasel me wants to get that extra $100 off…
Harvey Norman? I think you can within certain days. Try your luck and maybe you will get it.
Yep from Harvey Norman! I’ll give them a call when they’re open. Thanks!
see if your credit card has a price match after buy policy, some do if bought in store and not online.
Never buy extended warranties, not worth the paper they're written on.
Really!! :( this is my first big purchase.. why do you say that?
For that price, they have to fix it within reasonable period according the new consumer law.
Seems to work with G series as well
LG 65-inch G4 4K OLED evo UHD Smart TV
$3,863.00
(Incl GST $298.50)
Discount (EXTRA15) -$579.45
Balance payable $3,283.55
Yeah i'm eyeing off the 83 inch G4. Seems like a great price. Its just a lot of money.
Yes, most people myself included would likely see little to no difference between the C4 and G4 from a PQ perspective - and would be completely content with the C4 if no G4 existed.
So c4 and g4 is just picture quality?
For $700?
Thats a lot for just pq.
@lordra: possibly a green tint on a wide viewing angle too - https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/lg-c4-oled-vs-lg-g4-…
@ruddiger7: Oh really? Amazing.
If that is the case. Kind of makes the G4 83" the end game TV for 4k viewing and below.
@serpserpserp: No, next year the Pentonic 800 next year will have better upscaling of compressed or low resolution stuff. I'm waiting for Sony OLED with Pentonic 800 + MLA:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Next-gen-up-to-165Hz-VRR-4K-TV…
@lordra: G4 also is much better for wallmounting. G Series sits flush. In addition there is aboit 2-3cm difference in how far it pokes out from the wall. It makes a big difference if you wall past and can see the rear of your tv.
$1500 is a lot extra. But MLA and tidier chassis for wallmounting at least gives a bit more justification compared to previous years
What do you guys do with your old tellys?
I have a 2019 LG C9 65". Around $3k from memory.
Still going strong. Can't justify these amazing deals. Has there been such a big jump in tech in the last few years? Should I buy or hold? And what do I do with my old TV? I can't have it anywhere else in the home, it has to go.
… yeah tell me about it - i've got a 50" panasonic plasma from 2013 that refuses to die. Great for winter to heat the house, but the power consumption is best not looked at. The picture burn-in thing on the OLEDs is what scares me, and it is hard to shake 16 years of ozbargain-entrenched frugalness when considering spending thousands on a television.
For normal tv users burn in isn’t really a risk anymore, I’ve only seen it on older models (2019 and earlier). I’ve acquired an A8G, a C1 and a G1 all secondhand, and no burn in whatsoever.
@Lordra - When I purchase a new TV I shift them between each room that has a TV in it, and the oldest one generally goes. I upgraded from my 2019 LG C9 65” WOLED TV to a 2023/2024 Sony A95L 77” QD-OLED TV at the end of last year, my C9 is now in my bedroom. The C9 is still a great TV in my opinion, I wouldn’t have upgraded to any other TV accept the Sony A95L, the QD-OLED tech is superior to WOLED tech in my opinion, and the Sony A95L having a QD-OLED panel in it, along with Sony’s high reputation for providing high quality processing in it’s flagship models, it supporting Dolby Vision, it being regarded as the 2023 TV of the year in objective testing, plus some other factors were reasons why I decided to upgrade.
I certainly wouldn’t have upgraded my C9 to a G3 last year, there wasn’t enough of jump in tech advancement between them for me to feel that purchasing a G3 was worth it. Thanks to TV’s like the A95L LG has finally lifted their game quite a bit this year I think to make an upgrade to a G4 feel like a substantial one and worth it from a C9. The LG G series didn’t exist when the C9 came out, I personally wouldn’t purchase the C series in 2024, if I was going to purchase an LG OLED it would be a G series model. However, if I had to choose between LG’s G4 and Sony’s A95L, I would choose the A95L, it’s superior in several aspects.
There is also what seems to be an inherent problem with LG WOLED TV’s where the panel deteriorates after only a couple of years of owning and using it, developing hundreds of dead pixels around the top, bottom, left and right sides of the screen close to the edges. It happened to my C9, LG replaced the panel in it last year, and it’s happened to a lot of other people that own LG OLED TV’s and also to people who own other brand OLED TV models with LG WOLED panels in them… There are reports from people that own LG C7’s, C8’s, C9’s, CX’s, C1’s, and even as little as 2 year old C2’s all experiencing the issue. Here is one photo out of about 10 I have showing the hundreds of dead pixels that developed around the edges of my C9 screen before LG replaced the panel:
I have C9 and G2, and I had a vertical red line on my C9 and they replaced panel last yr. It has few dead pixel that I only noticed when I saw the red line.
They did replace the panel out of warranty for me at no cost and lot of people from what I gather.
I own a LG OLED. All my friends do too, some of them multiples. NONE of us have a dead pixel between us.
I also have a mate who owns a Sony and is constantly trying to convince us it is better than the LG (even though it cost more, even on sale).
@serpserpserp - Lucky for you serpserpserp, so it hasn’t happened to you and your small group of friends, therefore it’s not a problem that people should be concerned about, right? Perhaps you should tell that to all of the people that own LG OLED TV’s who have experienced the major issue of a lot of dead pixels forming around the edges of the screen within a few short years after purchasing the TV, it’s well documented all over the internet, including home theatre forums such as AVSforum.
I’m not loyal to any brand, as I previously said I own both LG and Sony OLED TV models, I don’t care about LG or Sony personally, I want the best product, and my money will go to the company that provides it. I’m not trying convince anybody to purchase a Sony A95L, especially since the model was only available here for 3 months between October 2023 and January 2024, before Sony Australia decided to discontinue it here, so people in Australia can no longer buy them here anymore even if they wanted to, only a lucky small handful of people here in Australia do own them… International customers such as those living in the U.S. still can purchase the Sony A95L though. Sony’s a95L is still classed by Sony as their flagship OLED/QD-OLED in 2024 which they carried over from 2023. The Sony A95L QD-OLED was labelled as the 2023 TV of the year by many people in the industry based on objective testing measurements, and LG’s 2024 G4 does come up short in several areas when put up against the Sony A95L.
@Cevolution: You sound like my Sony mate lol. James is that you?
The LG is the largest selling OLED brand. You aren't going to have a 100% defect free rate. Yes some people will have problems. Unfortunately the people that do have problems are the loudest and speak like anyone that buys that product will have the same issue. Then they buy another brand in protest and are convinced that this brand has better QC! Just because they now have a faultless TV like 99% of LG owners.
Btw I don't care about brands. If some no name Brenda came out tomorrow with market leading specs I'd consider that as my next TV
@serpserpserp: Who’s “My Sony”, and who’s James?
Of course LG are the number 1 selling OLED brand, because they manufacture the panels, and they supply them to many different companies who use them in their products. Samsung have only been manufacturing QD-OLED panels for a short period of time, and QD-OLED panel technology is essentially superior to LG’s WOLED panels. Sony and Panasonic don’t manufacture OLED panels, however often their OLED TV’s are superior in terms of performance picture quality wise over LG. What does it matter whether LG is the no 1 selling OLED brand or not? LG are not No1 for the reason you buy a TV in the first place, which is for the highest picture quality and performance available. For the last 5 years in a row going back from 2023 Sony’s OLED TV models have beaten LG’s OLED TV models with regards to picture quality in most areas in tests when objective measurements were taken, and the TV’s were assessed in TV shootouts by industry professionals. Although you are discussing a C4, so I suppose wanting the very best in terms of PQ is not something you value.
Of course a percentage of TV’s in general, and other companies that manufacture and sell TV’s have a failure rate, I haven’t suggested otherwise. For example, Sony’s A95L QD-OLED TV has had its fair share of problems including issues with faulty TCON boards. However, the issue with LG WOLED TV panels developing hundreds of dead pixel around the edges of the screen should certainly be a concern for all customers, it’s definitely wide spread across many generations of LG OLED TV models, and is clearly an issue they haven’t rectified.
@Cevolution: Please provide data on what you define as "wide spread".
Beating a TV ever so slightly in PQ doesn't make it better. Plus this is only in certain scenario's and not across the board. The LG across those 5 years generally beat it in everything else.
It is like comparing cars and focusing only on its 0-100km time and the difference between the cars might be 0.1s. Sure, that is important to enthusiasts, but there are so many more factors to a car, just like TV's.
@serpserpserp: The old please provide data comment, which is often asked when someone is too lazy to do their own research. Of course there is no data released about it from LG, so who else is going to do it, why would anyone else spend their time trying to put together data from the amount of cases posted about it online, perhaps you can since you want the data. Do your on research on the dead pixel issues with LG WOLED TV panels, which I know you haven’t done because you didn’t know anything about it before I mentioned it.
There is enough information out there to suggest it’s more than a few isolated incidences. And in my opinion the fact there are reports of it happening with LG OLED TV models as recent as the C1 and C2, going all the way back to the C7 and possibly further, as well there being reports of it happening to people with other brand OLED TV’s with LG WOLED panels in them, such as OLED models from Sony and Panasonic, and that the range of these cases are spread out over generations of models going back more than 7 years, makes it’s fair to say that it’s wide spread. Based on your defensive attitude regarding me mentioning this issue and it happening with my C9 to inform others, you certainly seem like you’re a bit of brand loyal LG fanboy to me, that or you don’t want to believe it because that would mean admitting your own TV could possibly be affected diminishing your purchase and causing you anxiety.
Why is it that amateurish people that don’t have much knowledge, experience and expertise with regards to evaluating picture quality and the performance of TV’s in general, when discussing it they almost always bring up a car analogy? When I see it I just instantly roll my eyes, and think here we go this is going to be good.
Better is a subjective word. Superior is an objective term. Define better? You mentioned price being a factor for you early, however price is merely subjective. I primarily watch Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray Discs, I want a high quality TV with regards to picture quality performance for use with these high quality sources. One TV beating another in objective measures means it’s superior to the other in which ever category was measured. Last years LG G3 OLED didn’t win in many categories up against Sony’s a95L QD-OLED, the a95L beat the G3 in the majority of categories, therefore the Sony A95L is the superior TV overall, and the a95L is certainly superior to the 2024 C4 as well:
The old please provide data comment, which is often asked when someone is too lazy to do their own research
LOL - Sure buddy, get back to me when you have some tangible evidence of the so called "widespread" problem that you and the echo chamber of a few on the internet have also had. Perhaps it isn't really a big of a problem as you make it out to be.
admitting your own TV could possibly be affected diminishing your purchase and causing you anxiety.
I couldn't care less. If my TV starts having problems it'll be because it gets hammered with use and is getting a bit old now. I have absolutely zero anxiety about it.
amateurish people that don’t have much knowledge, experience and expertise with regards to evaluating picture quality and the performance of TV’s in general,
Are you a professional, with much knowledge, lots of experience and expertise in evaluating PQ and performance of TV's? Please list me your professional credentials or the huge following you must have on social media or AV forums and I'll be sure to take a read. Maybe I'll learn something from your extensive history or publicly available analysis. Heck, I'll even pay for it from your professional business!
almost always bring up a car analogy?
Never heard it before, but I can make other analogy's if you like? Still the same point.
LG’s 2024 G4 does come up short in several areas when put up against the Sony A95L.
Really? Still wasn't good enough to win the Best in Class award from Vincent. Now there is a professional with strong credentials!
https://youtu.be/F_npypvyO1E?t=943
Again I'll reiterate in saying I don't care about the LG vs Sony competition. But I'd really wish the Sony lovers out there would just give it a rest. Love your TVs in peace, stop trying to convince everyone else that it is the best ever when it clearly isn't.
@serpserpserp: Get back to me when you have actually put in the effort to read about the issue, and aren’t responding from the perspective of an emotional LG fanboy, who by your own admission makes fun of supposedly your own real life friends behind their backs for having a Sony OLED TV and suggesting it as an option to the rest of your group of friends that own LG OLED TV’s.
If you couldn’t care less, then why do you seem to care that I have mentioned and brought up the well documented dead pixel issue with LG WOLED TV models and that my LG C9 suffered from it in this thread here on OzBargain? There is nothing wrong with informing people so that they can make an informed decision when deciding what the best TV product for them and their needs are.
The question is, can you support yourself with your own knowledge, experience and expertise, without having to rely on posting second and third hand information from websites and internet personalities? What I do know is that if you and I were to go head to head, that my personal experience would come out on top against yours. Who I am is not relevant, and I am certainly not going to reveal my identity on here… However, I will say, before Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia closed up shop in Australia late last year, I did have an affiliation with them.
“Social media” rotfl, the majority of YouTube personalities who review TV’s and other electronic equipment are nothing more than click bait from amateurs for amateurs that people waste their time watching. Yes there is the odd exception to the rule though, Vincent Teoh being one of them, and here is where Vincent awards the Sony A95L with the win in his best in it’s class award:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PgNuuQgE7Tk&pp=ygUlVmluY2VudCB…
LG fanboy
I have owned (and own) many TVs in my life. One is an LG. I see merits in all of them and again, I'll note that I don't care about "brands". You seem to care very much so though.
Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia closed up shop in Australia late last year, I did have an affiliation with them
Here is your clear bias for Sony on display. It really doesn't matter what you say from here on in about being impartial, or "knowledgeable" etc. you still have provided no empirical evidence to your claims.
The question is, can you….
No buddy, the question has always been can YOU prove your baseless claims that this is a major, widespread problems over 5+ years for LG manufactured panels going into all kinds of brands TV. You can't push that work onto someone else, you made the claim, back it up.
here is where Vincent
Yes before the G4 was released. I was just responding to your claim as quoted above. You then reference an old, unrelated video as a counter claim. You appear to be scrambling to cover yourself when really you should just put in the work to back up your initial claim.
@serpserpserp: “I have owned (and own) many TVs in my life. One is an LG. I see merits in all of them and again, I'll note that I don't care about "brands". You seem to care very much so though.” -
So you say and claim, yet you laugh at your own mate for owning a Sony OLED lol. You own an older LG OLED is all you said so far, and it’s certainly not to the calibre of LG’s 2024 G4 flagship OLED TV, or Sony’s A95L QD-OLED.
I’ve owned many TV’s in my life, and currently in my home there is 1 TV from each major brand, I own an LG OLED, I own a Samsung Plasma, I own a Panasonic plasma, I own a Sony QD-OLED, and a 16 year old Sony LCD TV. So as far as being a fanboy goes I’m far from it.
Again, I will repeat, I care about high quality performance, and my money will go to the company who puts out the best quality TV product with regards to picture quality, which in 2023 when I last purchased a TV was what I did when I purchased the Sony a95L.
You asked what my expertise were with regards to my personal experience and knowledge when it comes to evaluating picture quality, that’s where the relevance of Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia comes into the discussion. My prior affiliation with Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Australia in no way makes me brand loyal to them, in fact just the opposite, since what it involved was quality control checking for some BD and 4K disc releases, and I needed a very good quality and reliable TV to do that. Now it’s time for you to share your expertise?
They are not baseless claims at all, clearly you haven’t been reading, because I have provided evidence of both topics I have been discussion and referring to, I have provided a photo of my LG C9 which clearly shows the hundreds of dead pixels that can form around the edges issue with LG WOLED panels, that myself and other people have experienced, it’s up to you to read more about it if you want to know more about it. And I have also provided a source to the Sony a95L QD-OLED winning and being classed as the best TV 2023 based on objective tests and measurements. So far the only source you have provided is, you and your friends disagree.
And I haven’t posted an old outdated Vincent video that’s no longer relevant either, it certainly is very much still relevant, and anyone that actually has a clue is aware that there are areas where the 2023/2024 Sony a95L outperforms the 2024 LG G4… But I suppose you’re not going to believe it until the 2024 Value Electronics TV shootout event happens in early August when the A95L is put up against the G4 and they are measured objectively, and even when the results are in you’ll probably still put your fingers in your ears and go lalalalala.
@Cevolution: omg your responses get longer and longer and yet you still provide no evidence over what happened to you and the echo chamber of similar users. Going right back to the start, provide evidence that this is even over 1% of panels from LG. That would be a material problem.
yet you laugh at your own mate for owning a Sony OLED lol
Again read what I said and stop trying to twist words. I laugh at him for constantly trying to convince us (his mates) that Sony is so superior. Although he is reasonable and lets up after a while, I guess some people just don't.
clearly you haven’t been reading
That is all I've been doing. You still haven't provided the evidence beyond here say. No matter how much you repeat yourself, it doesn't turn into evidence.
far the only source you have provided is,
I provided Vincent's video that was most up to date and actually talking about the panels you first mentioned. Then you tried to discredit by posting an older video by the same guy again a different panel you weren't talking about. The one I posted from a month ago clearly points out the two panels you talked about and said the LG is the winner. You can try and change the goal posts (again) to suit your narrative but it is getting a bit boring now. I'm not sure I'm up for reading another essay of you trying to make yourself an authority here.
The only thing you should be responding with at this point is "here is the link to LGs response on the issue where they have stated it is a widespread". I mean if they are having so many returns on this TV due to this issue, they must have had to come out to the market to discuss?
@Cevolution: Sony have only started making their presence after they adopted QD OLED. Prior to that LG had a lead over them pretty sure it was up to c1.
All the technology including VRR, allm, Dolby vision, 4k 120hz were on LG. Sony couldn't provide them even with a software update. After QD OLED I won't disagree Sony have done really well and pulled ahead.
But historically, LG was more advanced and was always the better panel for gaming. Sony had better upscaling and was better for movies.
The a95L is a really good product but I still wouldn't say it's leaps and bounds better than LG. In the OLED spectrum of TV's any one you buy is going to be amazing and the percentage gains in quality between one brand/panel over another between LG Samsung and Sony will be single digit gains. They are just all really really good.
@maverickjohn: Your comment stating “Sony have only started making their presence after they adopted QD OLED” is 100% not true. Check the results of the annual Value Electronics TV shootout event going back to 2018 or 2019, Sony’s flagship OLED model TV has beat LG’s OLED flagship model TV in the majority of categories when the TV’s were calibrated to isf objective industry standards and put through objective testing to take measurements each year, and the judges who assessed them are professionals that work in the industry, they awarded whatever Sony’s flagship OLED was for each year at the event with 1st place crowning the Sony’s as the King of TV’s for 5 years in a row.
@Cevolution: That's also simply not correct.
I really don't know where you get this information.
An example of how you are wrong https://www.avforums.com/articles/tvs-projectors-of-2023-202…
And another example
https://www.whathifi.com/awards/best-tvs-2023
Only twice since your supposed 5 years of being king has it been crowned best TV of the year.
But you have provided no links or resources up until now so I am not expecting that to change.
@maverickjohn: My god, you’re using review sources where an individual that’s employed by a website has reviewed a product for the website. Do you not know what the annual Value Electronics TV shootout event is? Professionals in the industry from content creators to website reviewers attend the Value Electronic TV shootout event, and they go through a process where they assess and evaluate based on objective tests and measurements the picture quality of the top performing flagship TV models from each TV brand for that year which have been calibrated to objective isf industry standards… My favourite participants and judges at the VE shootout event when they attend are Stacey Spears from Spears & Munsil - https://spearsandmunsil.com/products/ , and David Mackenzie from Fidelity in Motion - https://www.fidelityinmotion.com/about.php (David MacKenzie in fact used to work for AVForums and HDTVtest as a TV reviewer).
Unlike your sources you linked to where a person is giving their individual opinion which is possibly bias, the winning TV at the Value electronics TV shootout event is decided by a group of professional people that work in industry who have come together to provide their individual expertise for the purpose of combining them all to crown a winner. At the annual Value Electronics TV Shootout event, Sony’s flagship OLED TV models have won the event and been crowned the King of TV’s each year for the last 5 years in a row.

@Cevolution: That's not how editors choice works from these sites. Normally it's an internal review process from the team not an individual.
But at least I can appreciate you providing your source.
@Cevolution that is a very scary picture. At what age did it pop up? We've just hit five years and it's going great, so hopefully, I have the luck of @serpserpserp and it keeps going forever.
That photo was taken when my C9 was 4 years and 3 months old. I recall first noticing the issue when it was about 3 years old, but ended up forgetting about it because it wasn’t too bad at that stage. It’s an issue that gets worse over time, more and more dead pixels just keep happening and showing up.
Not really worth it in your case, the C9 is still a great tv that isn’t all that different to the newer models.
I still have a c9 and can't see a reason to upgrade.. all the gains from our tv may exist but harder to justify. Persevere with the c9 unless you want a bigger tv.. that's the only upgrade you really need to consider from here.
I still have my original panel and hasn't skipped a beat.. so when the time comes when it stops working.. only then I'll consider an upgrade.
Thanks mate, I feel much better now. I'll hang on to my $$$ for the next couple of years. 😅
Great price!
I pulled the trigger on the c4 83 from JB yesterday (Saturday) thinking it couldn’t get any lower.
It’s not delivered yet, I wonder if they would refund me the difference.
At least this deal only seemed to hit Harvey Norman late Saturday so I wasn’t negligent for not seeing it.
Could anyone pm me a receipt for a 83” if they got a slightly better deal then above?
Then above what?
I know it's the way it goes but I'm filthy.
I picked up a 77" C3 on runout a month or two before the C4. Got a really good deal, sweet as.
C4 was released full rrp no discounts now the C4 is being discounted more than the runout C3 ffs.
The 77" C4 is now $300 less than what I paid for the C3. And to top it off $300 more to go to the 83" which at the time the 83" C3 wasn't discounted.
I know it's the manufacturer that passes on the margins to the retailers but way to burn your customers LG.
This type of tech will get cheaper each year. Don't feel too bad as your c3 is still pretty amazing. Asides from the dollar savings you wouldn't notice that much of a difference in your panel.
We are very fortunate to be able to experience this amazing technology in our homes. I'm still grateful and I have a c9 lol
Yeah I know hindsight is a wonderful thing lol.
Oh yeah it's a phenomenal tv I just wanted to go to the 83" but it was still full rrp and not part of LGs promos at the time.
Your right I guess, whinging about a 77" C3 isn't exactly first world problems haha.
I'd love to know what margins they have in tv's to be able to discount a new model so heavily so early in its life cycle.
I originally wanted to go Sony but discounts on Sony are 3/5ths of fuk all most of the time
The sales guy at HN yesterday said that they are losing money on a lot of TVs on sale this weekend so I'm guessing the manufacturers are covering the shortfall? I was shocked to see the 83" for 4.9k. A week ago I was prepared to tell my dad to spend 5.6k on it as that was the best deal around!
@Matt999: Sales people are full of it.
The Harvey Norman sales screen actually has two “cost price” figures on the screen. One that says cost price that they can show to the customer, the elsewhere on the screen the cost price, with cents, but without the decimal point, and reversed, is shown.
I think it's decent.. if it's anything to go by, I know recently there was a staff sale in one of the major retailers and were offering the 77 inch for $2999 so I can almost be sure that there is thousands being made from each tv.
Not much difference bro. We are talking single digit improvement. I got my c1 tv when the c2 was coming out. All good, that the way tech cycle works. Next tv should be mla oled or a mini led in 5/6 years time
Yeah, I'm hanging to see the Bravia 9 but it's some serious $$$
Just enjoy your tv. 77 inch C3 is already miles better than the average tv in Australia.
For those wondering, they will stack the $500 discount on the sound bar with the extra 15% off the TV in store. I asked and the TV salesmen first said no, then checked with a manager and they said yes.
what store?
Toowoomba
Hmm, my C2 is still rocking.
Any advice on how long to get the extended warranty for the 83” C4?
None use ACL
Breaks my heart… bought for 6k 3 months ago for my new house, thought it was a bargain… still in the box 😭
lol your house now built yet?
Still no 😭
Soundbar out of stock
Ready to buy one of the 77 inch ones. Need to find something for another $100 to bring it up to just over $4,000 and pay interest fee on my lattitude card to get the $400 of gift cards. Any suggestions?
Ended up getting a couple of PS5 games.
TV was delivered yesterday with 1 game.
Other game was delivered from a different store today.
$400 HN gift card delivered today via email.
Now to buy a printer on the weekend with the gift card and make a note to pay off the interest free next month.
Great deal.
Purchased a G4 65” with delivery today ( managed to get it on the truck as it was loading at the depot) but i think it’s DOA 😥. Flashing a blue line up the side of the screen and not turning on.
Has anyone had issues with this model? I’ll call the store tomorrow to discuss but would appreciate if you have any advice.
Picked up a C4 83” today at Good Guys. They matched HN price plus I used Macquarie gift cards which saved an extra 3%. Final price $4758. Really happy with that. Get in a couple of weeks for our new house.
Has anyone purchased a wall mount for an 83” that will pull out and rotate about 45 degrees?
Managed to get a C4 65". Was lucky enough to win $1,000 from Bupa Life Rewards so all in all got a $3,000 TV for $1,604 delivered.
Thanks OP! Snatched LG G4 65" at $3300 delivered. Replacing my Sony 55" FHD, which worked without any issues, daily, for 10 years. Sony is looking for new owner. It can do 3D, which LG OLED can not :))
Sale has ended. But good guys and harveys still honored it today (29th June). Last day before EOFY I guess.
Ended up getting a 83" LG G4 2024 for $6400. Plus $75 delivery. Getting delivered next week. Just need to organise wallmounting
Rtings says S90D is mostly better than C4, though Aussie S90D version is WOLED…
