$785 when using the price beat button.
Delivery for me was $26, so total $811.
I did a price match with Appliances Online for $811(current price $1270), being delivered tomorrow & they take away the old TV.

Hi do you have a different delivery experience with TGG?
Had mine for about 4 months and can’t fault it. Looking forward to watching the AFL on it.
Great deal. Bought one for my mum earlier today at this price.
Would this be ok to use as a primary monitor for general work? It's purely just spreadsheets, teams, o365 type stuff.
Interested to consider as an option against something like this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/890700
This would be horrible as a primary monitor. I use a 27" monitor on PC (and I agree that is definitely on the small side), but I have the 55" TCL C745 as a tv. Sometimes I sit on the floor in front while playing ps5 and at less than 1.5m away it's too close. I can only imagine how bad a desk experience would be. Maybe the 42" OLEDs are a better fit -even a 50" would be better than this.
How wide is your desk?
I have a 55” C5 for my gaming monitor and.. it’s too big ):
I wouldn’t go bigger than 42” for a desk monitor unless you have a desk wider than 700mm.
I’d also like to know, not for use as by a single person as it would be too big, but as a presentation monitor in an office.
I use this exact TV as a primary monitor and i love it , just turn down brightness a bit and sit back a bit . It did take a few days to get used to it . I did use 43 inch dedicated monitor prior to this . This TV deals with text perfectly being Chroma 444
i'd be tempted going even bigger. 34" ultrawide was way too small. my current 42" c2 is also far too small. MOAR!
Budget TV's just seem to hit a price point 5-10 years ago and that's it, nothing cheaper.
I think TVs have improved significantly over the last 5 to 10, plus you need to consider inflation during that time.
In 1975 my mother bought a 14" B & W TV for $400. In 1981 I bought my first TV, a 26" Philips remote control colour TV for $1000. In 2001 I bought a 43' rear projection TV for $4,200. This will be the biggest & best TV I've ever owned, and it's only $800.
and in 2017 I bought an android powered 55" from JB for $549
The image quality won't be comparable - this isn't a bottom of the barrel model, not to mention tech has moved on.
@snep: But not hugely, especially considering a budget tv is still not colour accurate and still generally has low nits, sure SOME monitors are good but TV's, in the budget range, have not changed a huge amount, especially one that's noticeable.
Were mini led back then, still are, when oled is budget it'll be a big shift.
I get it though, some people use 4K phones and swear night and day they can see the pixel density differences between standard res phones.
@Darude Sandstorm: This TV was measured at 94% DCI-P3 coverage with a delta-e of 1.8. Peak brightness was 680 nit full field or 1215 nit (2% window). Your $549 budget TV from 2017 would not be anything close to that.
If you're happy with low end image quality that's fine, but some people like it better.
@Darude Sandstorm: I eagerly await the point at which $500 TVs surpass the human eye's ability to discern an upgrade. But that time is not now.
how does this compare to ffalcon and a kogan tv?
This has 120hz display, better user interface and boots smart apps much quicker from my experience (C745)
I'll be using a firestick so apps won't particularly matter just display difference is what I'm curious about
Other thing to consider is amount of lighting zones behind the screen. This model appears to have some of the best lighting technology compared to other screens of the same value (before discount). So a Ffalcon that regularly costs 60% less would expect to be significantly worse in comparison. Watch some reviews and report back?
Much better due to full array mini led backlight.
Appliances online say no stock in Victoria
Dam, I just got this from TGG for $785 yesterday but it was the display model. I wanted them to beat appliances central at $915 which I thought turned out better when they had none in stock and I could have the display for 785.
I wasn't too concerned with the ex demo as it was just going to be a bedroom tv but now I could have had a new one for the same price! Now I want a bigger discount
Good price especially with applicances online price match, great delivery with them
