Hey all,
Was bored today and in the market for a 40" Branded Smart TV.
Found this deal through TGG who are offering FREE delivery in Victoria until Father's Day (Banner pops up for about 5 seconds then vanishes) when adding to cart, see example: https://imgur.com/a/SaSo1Tl (Free Standard Delivery Victoria Only)

Called TGG via 'Phone Sales' 1300 942 765 and said I was looking to buy this TV for my dad for Father's Day who's doing it tough due to COVID19.
The service support employee was understanding and said if payment could be made today, price could be reduced to $389 including delivery. YMMV.
Yes this is not the cheapest 40" TV, with the FFalcon at $349 https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/ffalcon-40-inches-sf1-fhd-sma… but was after a proper brand and the Hitachi seems solid from the specs.
Yes, the Hitachi's are no longer made solely in Japan with Turkish company Vestel being the owner. Vestel is a Turkish home and appliances manufacturing company consisting of 18 companies specialised in electronics, major appliances and information technology. Vestel's headquarters and production plant are located in Manisa, Turkey, while the company's parent conglomerate is the Istanbul based Zorlu Holding.

IMO a good deal for a 40" Branded Smart TV for under $400 including delivery.
With FFalcon being back by one of the largest LCD panel manufacturers in the world, I failed to see how they're not a 'proper brand'
