      The company that did BigW's extended warranty has gone bust. Don't buy extended warranty unless you're sure BigW has switched providers.

    Can't argue with it for $498. I'd rather buy from Big W than Kogan.

    If it lasts 2 years, I reckon that's good enough to last til the 3/4/5/6th gen 3D TVs are out with passive glasses, 2mm thick screens etc etc :)

        Same, I've turned it off on all of my LCD sets; as you say the soap-opera effect makes the picture look unrealistic.

        I will never cease to be amazed that people are still so gullible as to believe motion compensation is some sort of advantage!

          Nope, whilst that's the popular myth it doesn't make a shred of practical difference IME; seriously, artificially interpolating/inserting frames in a moving image on the fly is never going to end well.

          A good 50Hz set is better than a dodgy 100Hz set any day of the week, there are other factors at play…i.e. response time & input lag just to mention two! MC is just marketing hype! :)

    Hi guys, here's a really important question for me:

    My old Sony 32 inch doesn't let you plug in an external hard drive with tv/movies on it. You need an xbox or media player to watch videos on it. It only shows photos directly. My TV is about 3-4 years old now.

    I know a lot of the newer TVs can play almost any video file directly by plugging in an external USB drive. Does this one?

    Thanks

        I'm surprised by this. Are we back in 2005 or something. I thought all TVs could play video media files via the USB port now. Hell, even my Mum's cheap-ass Soniq $299 job can play MKV files!

    Friend of mine has the 46" version…

    It's a decent TV, if all you want is just a TV, but it is an older generation. There's no bells or whistles. It's pretty much a plain vanilla television, for example the USB can only display images, not playback video (from memory). There's only 2 HDMI inputs, again typical of older models. I don't think it even has audio or video out, apart from one digital audio coax port. If you're planning to run any gear into or out of this set, make sure you eyeball one and make sure it has the required connections. (the 50" may be a little different)

    If all you want is a TV, it does that job just fine, but don't expect anything much additional. On the upside the picture is ok for a budget set and the channel changes aren't noticeably slow.

    Looks like a good honest 50" tv to me. 60hz refresh rate is nothing to write home about but good enough for most viewing.

    IMO all the 'smart TV' crap being added to TVs these days are mere novelties. Buy a WDTV Live for $99 and you got all the smarts that you really need.

      rustynail on 10/07/2012 - 18:07

      I'd go with the WD Live player. It plays almost any file thrown at it and accessing the network shares is a painless process. I use it to play all my media even though my LG LCD TV can play movies off an external HDD. The reason for this is my LG can only play audio that is 2.1 or stereo. If you had media that has Dolby DTS or multi-channel sound, the chances of your TV converting the audio to stereo for playback are pretty slim unless your TV manufacturer has officially licensed the technology.

    •  
      wisc on 10/07/2012 - 22:39

      I tend to disagree, LG - PVR, network streaming and so far has handled everything i've thrown at it…
      but your talking double the price.. i don't think smart TVs are novelties, the LG has replaced my PVR and media centre.
      I've used it to surf the web a few times and it seems to be decent.

      I use a 40" full hd tv for my monitor and have to honestly say that because these screens only do up to 1080p resolution, text and fine detail isn't the greatest. For games and movies from PC it would be fine, but as far as for everyday use, it can't compare to good quality computer monitors. Saving for 2 more quality monitors at the moment to run 3 screen eyefinity and kick my 40" TV to the lounge room where it belongs. Hope this helps. :)
