      Hi Billy1979
      Just some info on on the brand:

      Established in 1958, Changhong has grown into one of the largest consumer electronics providers in China, specialising in R&D, manufacturing and marketing of consumer electronics products. For 18 consecutive years, Changhong has been ranked No.1 in the Chinese domestic market with one out of every four TVs sold in China being manufactured by Changhong.

        Being #1 in a state controlled market isn't necessarily an endorsement.

          No, China's no longer a planned economy, at least in consumer electronics, it's free from state intervention.

          … consumer electronics, it's free from state intervention.

          Nothing in China is free from state intervention, including consumers.

        • Diogenes on 11/03/2013 - 13:12
          +13

          You pretend that markets in Australia aren't free from State intervention? Boy, you sure gulped down that Kool-Aid, son.

          The interference in markets by the State in China may be of a (slightly) larger degree than, and of a different type to, that which happens in Australia - but let's just say that the Chinese government is not stupid enough to subsidise rice-growing in semi-desert areas of northern Vic/southern NSW (subsidies that were initiated to keep the National Party sweet).

          Honestly, when OUR .gov takes half of all output (more once you take into account the unfunded promises it has made but refuses to account for - which have to be funded eventually), it's just stupid to point fingers and talk about such-and-so an economy being 'centrally planned'.

          And not for nothin': the single most important price in the economy - the short term price of money (i.e., the short end of the yield curve) is centrally planned by the bureaucrats at the Reverse Bank (and the Fed in the US, and the ECB in Euro-zone, and the BoE in the Pom).

          I can't buy DMAA without risking some .gov high-school dropout with a gun turning up on my doorstep. Ergo we live in a totalitarian dictatorship as far as my pre-workout supplements are concerned. It's all a question of degree.

          I'm not sure mate. Almost everything you buy from china is poor build quality? Do you mean the stuff you bought when you were actually in China? If so, I am sure you bought the cheapest. Pay the right price and you'll get right quality. For example, you cannot compare a $5 drill with $100 one. Number 1 in any country should be impressive. People are not stupid.

          Or do you mean made in China? Almost all electronics and clothes are made in China. You cannot say they are all poor build quality.

          I think 90% product with sticker "MADE IN CHINA", from tv to mobile phone, pc, notebook, even apple is made in china, for 1 product, they had several class of quality, so you get what you pay. example for same watch, the price is vary from $10 to $100, same item but with different quality

          I beg to differ. Do you hear people say, "Oh no, my Iphone is made in China, it must be crappy quality so I better not buy it?" Almost everything is made in China, and I would have to say, their manufacturing has advanced quite significantly from the old days. When Japan first experienced their tech boom, they were the China of the time - providing cheap labour and churning out low quality goods. Where are they perceived now?

          There are factories with full SMT production lines, and at the bottom of the rung, there are factories are merely assembly lines with relatively little quality testing of products before they are shipped out.

          If only Australians just get with the times and realise China has advanced from its baby tech days.

          Everything is made in China. Some of it is the best quality.

          Ha, what products do US/Australia/Italy manufacture that you would call high quality? I usually steer clear of products manufactured in these countries, especially automotive.

          I definitely wouldn't say these 3 countries produce goods of such a high quality that you would be bend over backwards to buy them. The only reason to purchase their products would be through some misguided concept of patriotism.

        • st4ffh on 07/03/2013 - 22:25
          +15

          I'm sorry to break it to you but "Made in Australia" is definitely no sign of quality anywhere in the world except maybe in Australia. The "Australian made and owned" label is just a cheap scam by local companies to try and foster hostility against foreign products because Australia refuses to become part of a globalised world. It will work for only so long. As a Swede living in Australia I am honestly constantly surprised at how bad the quality of local products is, including building/housing standards. Probably the worst among any developed nation I've been to or lived in.

          And for some reason Australians are the loudest critics about Chinese products. Probably because of poor quality control on Aussie importers' behalf.

          Not saying ChangHong is a particularly good brand (I don't have any experience with it), but to automatically dismiss a product just because it is #1 in the Chinese market is just ignorant.

        • jva on 07/03/2013 - 23:47

          please find your Japanese branding product, how many of them are said Made in Japan?

          "number 1 in china means nothing, almost everything I buy from china is poor build quality"….what a 'great and modern' thought… maybe that's why Apple is moving back to the US for manufacturing their products? LOL

      Just want to respond to ignorant comments like this that's not based on real consumer experience but bias based on not being familiar with a brand. It's like a friend of mine who said to another friend, "I prefer to stick to brands I know like Sony", when the other person recommended Whatmough speakers. Now before anyone comments on this, I am not talking about Changhong being anywhere near a premium brand, but about how people usually stick to what they know….which is not much.

      My story - I had a Changhong A/C that was playing up, contacted them in the morning, and by 5:30pm the SAME DAY a technician had come over and fixed the problem. Do you think the turnaround time would have been as fast with a premium brand like Panasonic and Fujitsu? I don't think so.

        • leiiv on 07/03/2013 - 12:23
          +18

          I doubt it, no matter which brand you buy, something is bound to happen. To prove the quality and reliability based on brand, we need to compare the hard statistics, which is almost impossible to get.

        • a1169377 on 08/03/2013 - 15:50

          I don't think so.
          We bought a Hisense LED TV (a chinese well-known brand, it had a 3-year in-home replacement warranty) more than 4 years ago and we never had a problem and now it's still doing fine. I know someone bought a sumsung TV broke just after the 1 year warranty period,they had to pay for fixing. A trusted brand ended up untrustworthy.

        Agreed. A shop technician once told me that Sony tv's broke more often than any other brand. My personal experience reflects this also (although I think that Sony picture quality has always been the best for their top-of-the-line models).
        With 3yr warranty, you're better off than a "known" brand with 1yr warranty. Chances are the parts came from the same factory anyway. And for $499 delivered, you can't really go wrong.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/03/2013 - 14:17

      DVB-T plays at 24p, blu-ray plays at 24p. Even consoles usually max out at 30p when in NTSC mode so unless you are planning on gaming on this screen with a PC (unlikely) you don't need this feature. Even then most people agree that you cannot tell the difference after going higher than 60p. It's not marketed as a 3D tv so I'd say they've spent the money well to bring you a TV that will deliver in performance rather than on paper.

      • chipstss on 07/03/2013 - 17:28

        • chipstss on 07/03/2013 - 18:23

          30p? 24p? I thought Progressive scan had to do with resolutions not frame rates or refresh rates that voolish was talking about.

          If you actually read the first comment in this chain, it was noted that the audio stopped working on the devices. How does that have anything to do with students? It means the units themselves were defective and points to bad QA and testing to fail only after a month.

    Does this have 1 to 1 pixel mapping (HDMI input, 1920x1080 resolution) for use as a computer display (that is, no overscan)?

      I highly doubt it. Usually only big name brands have the feature. I've had two generic brand 1080p TVs and neither had this feature which I also wanted for connecting my laptop.

        can't you just set the output from your pc/laptop to not scale (in the drivers) if you wanted to use a lower resolution than 1920x1080?

    Hi, so what's the model number on this?

    I would like to have a look for any possible reviews online.

    Edit: Oh nvm see it now haha

    I have never heard of the brand but seems like a good price, very tempted to buy it…

    Hi Binglee Rep
    is the smart Iv feature(youtube,…) relying on a wireless dongle or built-in?

    Is the dongle included?

    Please note…this is $499. It's like a thrift shop - F&#)$&ng Awesome.

    Perfect for the kid's Wii U or XBOX, or PS3. Or stick an Android USB mini PC and use it as a monitor.
    It's a good price for this tv.
    If you want a branded one, I saw a Samsung 55" LED for $999 on their website.

      Do parents seriously buy their kids $500 TV's for their games these days?
