    Interested to hear peoples' experiences after buying one of these "box damaged" TVs.
    Do you get a full warranty?

      I bought an 85" TV about three and a half years ago. When it arrived, the box was immaculate and the TV was perfect. No issues whatsoever.

      I remember reading somewhere that the whole "box damaged" thing is a way for Sony to get rid of excess stock at a heavily discounted price, without attracting the ire of retailers (not sure if true, but I remember reading it somewhere). They use the excuse that the box is damaged, therefore, sell at a much lower price.

      From memory, I believe the TVs would be covered by normal warranty. Then again, I've never had the need to make a claim.

      Copy pasting my comment from a previous thread.

      'Sharing my experience on a damaged box deal I jumped on from Sony late last year for the X90L 65 inch.

      Box arrived in amazing condition. Barely a dent on it. Unfortunately the box was in better condition than the TV..front of TV was properly smashed.

      Contacted Sony for a refund who said they don't cover damaged screens 🙄 had to get ebay involved. Took over a month for a refund.

      Good luck!'

      Bought a box damaged 65" from the last 22% off deal. Only damage to box was on the base where the styrofoam was partially snapped behind the cardboard base, rest of the box looked untouched.

      TV was in new condition and had no issues when tested.

      Received 75" yesterday. The box appeared in perfect condition and I couldn't see any issues with the box.

      More importantly the wife is happy as she considers it a nice upgrade from a KD-65X9300E which is still going strong 7 years later.

        Box Damaged should be "new" e.g. factory stock (but with literal box damage), while there's another category called Seconds which seem to be returned/repaired stock.

      One of life's great questions.

    • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 20:35

      None of these. They've got a laughable 80 dimming zones compared to actual mini leds with 1000+

      The bleed looks terrible on these.

      • shiggaz on 24/07/2024 - 21:32

        What would you recommend @Charmoffensive?

        • Charmoffensive on 26/07/2024 - 10:22

          At this price point? Pretty much the TCL c855 or the Hisense U8.

      • CheapDateChamp on 26/07/2024 - 00:53
        +1

        And yet they're miles better than samsung and hisense mini-leds. I work with these things in a professional environment and your quoting of specs does not equal to real world performance. Hell the x90l even beats the samsung qn800d in a lot of content.

        • Charmoffensive on 26/07/2024 - 10:21

          No amount of "algorithm" can change the fact that the dimming zones are larger than tennis balls and therefore will result in significant bleed unless you're watching something like sport which doesn't have any routine blacks to reproduce on the screen.

          People have some serious sony placebo and see what they want to see.

          Hell the x90l even beats the samsung qn800d in a lot of content.

          If by "a lot of content" you mean "anything that doesn't involve black", then yes. It has excellent colour accuracy, great motion processing and is a really vivid panel. If you ever want to want to watch a movie, it is very much less good.

  • Rick James18 on 24/07/2024 - 17:17

    It's a bit pricey still for a box damaged TV isn't it?

    how do these compare to C845 or C855?

    • Tbargain12 on 24/07/2024 - 17:24

      Most reviewers and forums of TV enthusiasts have all said the X90L processing and dimming etc works way better than the TCL C845.

      • Maths Debater on 24/07/2024 - 17:56
        +1

        Sony definitely has better LD algorithms but Mini LED will have the advantage of better Black Uniformity and less Blooming.

        • Tbargain12 on 24/07/2024 - 19:11

          Generally speaking yes, but not in the case of this comparison,and definitely not for the C845.

          • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 19:18

            @Tbargain12: Someone's been drinking the Reddit koolaid. No amount of "muh algorithm" can overcome the fact that 80 dimming zones leads to really horrible bleed compared to the c855's 2000+ dimming zones.

            Sony heads are really stupid about how bad the low end of the brand is. "Guys, just jack up the red til everything looks like red velvet cupcakes and it totally gets rid of the banding and bleed!"

            • Tbargain12 on 24/07/2024 - 19:42

              @Charmoffensive: Who said anything about C855? I specifically mentioned C845 numerous times, there's not any properly worth while reviews of the C855 yet.

              No, not just reddit, there are reviewers that have compared X90L with what most people considered top mini-led last year, which isn't the C845 by the way, and said it can definitely hold its own against it if not better. There's a whole thread on AVforums of people talking about C845 issues, with washed out black borders that weren't fixed afaik, firmware updates that introduced other issues.

              Majority of the places I've seen have all said Sony's X90L have wonderful and accurate colours, if anything it sounds like you're really hating on Sony for a specific reason.

              C845 would've been worth it if the 50/55 inch was some where around 1K on release.

              • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 20:14

                @Tbargain12: Look, there is no argument that Sony's higher end TVs are basically the best in the business, especially when you move into the oled panels.

                The issue is people who buy fald Sony panels and then act like the bleed isn't atrocious. There's countless forum posts showing the bad bleed like this:

                https://www.reddit.com/r/tcltvs/comments/1b3fnms/the_sony_x9…

                I agree that the c845 had some firmware issues on the x2 revision compared to the x1, but there is not nearly enough info on whether they've been significantly addressed, especially because the bulk of the posts are around 9 months old when the revision released.

                I mentioned the c855 because the 845 is basically unavailable now that its been replaced, so it's useless to compare it to a tv you can't actually buy. Initial avforum reviews of the 855 are actually really strong, with most people's only complaint being that the peak brightness of 3500nits isn't not the standard and it sits at 1500 most of the time. Further tests need to be done on the actual number of dimming zones, but most tests show its at at least 2000 on the 65" set.

                The x90l with its 80 dimming zones is definitely not "holding its own" against the mini LEDs unless you are either blind to bleed because you have massive halogen lights set up above your tv like most unscientific YouTube reviewer's studios or big box stores… or because you're a Sony fanboi who recommends turning the brightness to 30% and jacking up the red levels to compensate. No amount of "algorithms" are compensating for the fact that each dimming zones is the size of at least a tennis ball and so any light objects in black will have significant bleed unless things line up just right. It wouldn't surprise me if Sony did this intentionally to drive a larger wedge between their led and oled markets to push more people over the line.

                The colour accuracy, motion processing and upscaling are brilliant on the x90l, but if you have a shield tv or apple tv, a lot of those advantages are curtailed. it's definitely a no brainer worse panel than the c855 and other mini LEDs if you have any sort of set top box or game console handing the media and given the bleed I've seen on it first hand at a mate's place, it'd take the Hisense u8 or c855 over it even if I didn't.

                • Tbargain12 on 25/07/2024 - 00:00

                  @Charmoffensive: Nobody is saying Sony doesn't have blooming, hell even their x95l had blooming or the QN95C, and those are way better than C845… Which is still available by the way, you can still buy them with a quick 2 seconds google search.

                  Most photos taken with a mobile to show blooming is often more exaggerated than in real world use or seeing it with my own eye.
                  Reviewer I've watched have the TV on side by side with other TVs in the dark, you can easily spot the blooming or both the mini-led or the x90l.

                  Hardly a Sony fanboy, TV I main is a way cheaper TCL P735 from covid times, and I'm perfectly fine with it for its use case of watching shows once in a while. That's coming from me maining an OLED monitor and staring at perfect blacks all day, so no, not blind to blooming, but a TV is much more than just blooming. People in the C845 thread are still having trouble constantly talking about updating their firmware and what it fixes to now, I'd rather not buy a TV and have to wait for them to release some fix, and constantly hoping the firmware doesn't break something else, that's part of the experience I wouldn't look forward to.

                  You have to look at what a TV is able to offer as a whole package, most people are happy with the Sony because it's simply doing a quality job for almost everything you throw at it. People know that if they only cared about blooming, they wouldn't even look at FALD or mini-led TVs, they would just skip straight to an OLED. Especially when mini-led price at the top end is close to an OLED anyway. I'm quite looking forward to actual proper reviews of C855, because I'd like to see it actually succeed this time and I might actually consider it.

                    A bit disingenuous when what little stock left is more expensive than the c855 and only available at select branches of the big box stores around the country. You can hardly walk into a jb and buy one today, unless you're lucky enough to be in the one of 3 stores left that still have stock.

                    Reviewer I've watched have the TV on side by side with other TVs in the dark, you can easily spot the blooming or both the mini-led or the x90l.

                    As you said, camera lenses amplify bloom. I can tell you from seeing it in real life that I didn't see the same bloom from a c845 than I did from the x90l. It shocked me, as I fully expected the Sony to perform better. I'm excited to see the c855 in the flesh.

                    People in the C845 thread are still having trouble constantly talking about updating their firmware and what it fixes to now, I'd rather not buy a TV and have to wait for them to release some fix, and constantly hoping the firmware doesn't break something else

                    I agree thats a real let down. That said, there's plenty of people who say they've been unaffected by the firmware changes, so it's quite possibly an isolated problem, given there's literally only tens of people on the avs forum complaining about it out of the millions of units sold. There's a bit of survivorship bias with forum complaints.

                    People know that if they only cared about blooming, they wouldn't even look at FALD or mini-led TVs, they would just skip straight to an OLED.

                    I disagree. While oled are the kings of picture quality, they have two major downsides: bright rooms and burn in. Mini leds are perfect for the living room tv that gets direct sunlight and is used for things like games or sport that might have hud elements or channel watermarks that can burn in over time. Monitor panels are different, so it's not a great comparison.

                    most people are happy with the Sony because it's simply doing a quality job for almost everything you throw at it.

                    I suspect like most things, the brand comes with a healthy dose of placebo effect and sunk cost fallacy, but the stats of peak brightness and dimming zones simply don't bear this argument out. 80 vs 2000 is not comparable and while both will have bloom one will be significantly worse. That all said, the average consumer doesn't even turn motion smoothing off, so what the average idiot who wouldn't know a va from an ips thinks is largely irrelevant to the enthusiast crowd.

                    I'm quite looking forward to actual proper reviews of C855

                    I agree and I'll be pretty disappointed if it doesn't deliver. I need to replace my old Panasonic oled with something bigger and brighter.

                      Exactly, given so much mucking around and tinkering, given that it's not even an enthusiast level TV, just doesn't seem to make sense.

                      From my time working and gaming with an OLED monitor that people constantly comparing stats online and complaining how OLED Monitors peak brightness isn't close to a TV. Real world usage is just completely different most of the time, for me it's bright enough that I squint in HDR scenes at 75% brightness, I can use it with my windows open in the morning with sunlight coming in the room, I can use it with a moderate light on, or even ceiling light. Honestly people that wants to view a TV with lights on full blast and with sunlight blasting in the room is not likely going to be the type of people that can spot every bit of blooming difference between TVs. You know which TV really sucks for brightness? A80L, and the A90K's aggressive dimming.

                      I disagree. While oled are the kings of picture quality, they have two major downsides: bright rooms and burn in. Mini leds are perfect for the living room tv that gets direct sunlight and is used for things like games or sport that might have hud elements or channel watermarks that can burn in over time. Monitor panels are different, so it's not a great comparison.

                      Well now they can get a S95D, that apparently handles bright room really damn well. Burn-in well still very much relevant, but unless the use case you're pointing out is people leaving their TV on all day with sunlight blasting at the TV for 5 hours+, playing the exact same channel watermarks or hud element in games without turning it off to run pixel refresh daily, it's going to be mostly fine, hell I use mine for work and then entertainment and games after hours and I'm not worried. One other downside and I'd say it's way more major to most people is that OLED will highlight "bad source" if you're watching shows or videos/streams at lower quality, it'll reallyyyy show.

                        I think it's the case of if you want to play around, you can get a $3000 picture for half the price. That's a great deal for someone whose willing to hunt around for some guides online and play around in the settings for an hour or so.

                        Honestly people that wants to view a TV with lights on full blast and with sunlight blasting in the room is not likely going to be the type of people that can spot every bit of blooming difference between TVs.

                        Sounds like you have a great setup, but not everybody has a choice about the amount of natural light that enters their living room. It might be the case that during the day, they want to be able to properly see their screen without it being completely washed out, while at night, they want to enjoy a movie in decent quality or maybe just watch something while the missus reads a book with the downlights on. A mini-LED is the best option for these sort of general mixed usage scenarios when you want something great, but you're not going to get the most out of an OLED most of the time. Personally, I have a blackout dark theatre room with a projector for long gaming/movie sessions, but a mini-LED is perfect for my living room for the reasons stated.

                        Burn-in well still very much relevant, but unless the use case you're pointing out is people leaving their TV on all day with sunlight blasting at the TV for 5 hours+, playing the exact same channel watermarks or hud element in games without turning it off to run pixel refresh daily

                        The thing about burn in is it seems so random. I've had people treat their OLED like crap and leave it on the home screen for hours and not really get any ghosting, but then I've seen people who baby it get the channel 7 logo burned in after watching 2 back to back footy matches they recorded. When you're dropping more than double and up to triple the price of a miniLED on an OLED, "you probably wont get burn in" isn't good enough, to be honest.

                        One other downside and I'd say it's way more major to most people is that OLED will highlight "bad source" if you're watching shows or videos/streams at lower quality, it'll reallyyyy show.

                        Yeah, you're not wrong there.

      Ratings is one of the most comprehensive site. The c845 is our version of the QM850 (ours is slightly worse), while c855 is QM851.

      I'd personally go for the c855 if/when it gets to similar price.

        The TCL QM8 is currently only available in North America; in Europe, TCL will be releasing the TCL C845, which is a completely different model and not a variant of the QM8.

        • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 19:24

          C855 has slightly better stats than the qm8.

          • rooboo on 07/09/2024 - 00:55

            @Charmoffensive: C855 sits somewhere between QM7 and QM8 (less dimming zones and brightness than QM851), and C755 is bit below the QM7.

    These or wait for a deal on LG QNED. How do they compare?

  • bleeder on 24/07/2024 - 17:43

    How does this compare to OLED

    Thanks op -I wouldn't buy a Sony TV again.

    Their warranty support is heavily outsourced and offshored, has no training in consumer law, and denies all claims by default.

    For ACL claim I needed to escalate and send a letter of demand to the retailer which I'm sorting through at the moment.

    Throw in the "box damage" which heightens your risk of needing to deal with them and it's a no for me.

    I had a terrible experience with Sony's eBay account several years ago for a phone, bad enough that I wouldn't deal with them again, even for a different product category.

  • noddypiper on 24/07/2024 - 18:10

    What's the warranty period? Looking at the 98"

    • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 19:26

      Technically 5 years under ACL, but may have to get lawyers involved to claim it

      • happydude on 24/07/2024 - 23:11

        ACL does not specify any time periods for any product.

        • Charmoffensive on 24/07/2024 - 23:35

          It specifies a reasonable lifespan for products, something which you can look up externally.

            @Charmoffensive: So "technically 5 years" was something you made up? Good chat.

            You cannot look at all these TV's and declare that 5 years is the statutory guarantee period that would apply. Doesn't work like that at all.

              @happydude: "Something which you can look up externally"

              I see your reading comprehension is as developed as your people skills.

              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/389179

              Keep digging and you can find all sorts. The ACCC agreed that a $3500 set should last 7 years. Given the rrp of the x90l, 5 is a very reasonable expectation.

              • happydude on 25/07/2024 - 00:49
                -2

                @Charmoffensive: So it's 7 years? Not 5? Or is it you don't understand ACL.

                What you have pointed to is a random comment on the internet, not backed by any case law. Regardless, the ACCC do not set statutory guarantee periods. That is the courts/tribunals based on the totality of the circumstances. Not just 'cost v time period'.

                You cannot confidently assert that all these TV's would allow for a 5 years statutory guarantee under ACL in all circumstances.

                Maybe read this comment in that thread that explains why it is not possible to put exact timeframes on ACL claims at the time of purchase. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/6131872/redir

    Rolled the dice on the “refurbished”….hoping it’s new, wish me luck.

  • Qazxswec on 24/07/2024 - 19:18

    my math says $1,996.65 on the 75"

    Box damaged had a piece of tape on it but didn’t really have any damage into the inside of the box. Very superficial. Excellent TV.. All my tvs are Sony. Lounge,family room and bedroom. Yes a bit OTT but just love that they all work seamlessly. Had other brands, even tried to fix my old LG myself with a new board but alas, Sony keeps pugging on.

  • YoursTruly on 25/07/2024 - 05:32

    Thanks OP!

    Don't do it. I stupidly did and it was smashed in 4 places. just make sure you video the unboxing from when you get it delivered to when you turn it on like I did. its the only way you will get your money back. Even then you have to jump through hoops the get it. I have heard its their way of getting rid of damaged TV's by claiming insurance from DHL. Could be just a toss of the coin are you willing to risk it?

    55" reduced by $100 from full price, now $1327.17 with RFRB17. Post updated.

  • ahappysloth on 26/07/2024 - 09:11

    Which TVs are top recommended choice for price, value, performance for playing PS5?

    • bAps on 27/07/2024 - 19:50

      Have a look around on the rtings website and do some research.

  • ChiefWigam on 27/07/2024 - 14:40

    I am thinking of pulling the trigger on the Sony KD75X77L (Box Damaged^) 75" X77L 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart TV Google TV on ebay for about $1214. Is this too low end for Sony? We won't be using it for gaming, just Netflix, Stan, Kayo sports and free to air channels. JB HIFI has a 20% off TCL TV's have this for about $1100: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tcl-75-c655-4k-uhd-qled-g…

    Which one is a better TV?

    • bAps on 27/07/2024 - 19:49

      The X77L is basically the lowest end Sony you can get.
      I personally wouldn't touch a TCL or Hisense TV again.

  • ChiefWigam on 27/07/2024 - 21:10

    Yeah I don't mind the low end Sony model as I don't do gaming. But want to check if there is a better TV for that price out there. Don't mind the brand. We have a wide seating arrangement.

    The guy in the JB Hi store the lower end TCL's and Hisense have better sound than most of the more well known brands.

      Maybe I'm a bit of a snob, but I couldn't care less about a TVs built-in speakers. They're all garbage compared to a half decent soundbar + sub setup.

    Just placed an order for the 55" model, I'll update this comment when it gets delivered.

    • bAps on 02/08/2024 - 09:39

      Shipping update: Don't believe the estimated delivery date from the DHL tracking email, that's just the day that they'll text you to organise the actual delivery.

      • bAps on 07/08/2024 - 10:48

        Alright mine arrived yesterday - zero damage to the external box, zero damage to the TV itself. Set it up and there's absolutely no problems, works flawlessly.

        As I saw another poster say, it seems like this "box damaged" TVs are just a way for the manufacturer to move old stock quickly, without going through 3rd party retailers like JB Hifi. Nothing wrong with the actual product. People who are complaining about their box damaged TVs arriving smashed must have been due to poor transport/delivery.
