Seems like a good price for a 46" LED LCD TV. $100 off. Add $24.95 for postage to metro Sydney (more for other areas). Or you can buy in store, most of my local stores had stock when I checked.
Specs seem decent too. Will update with impressions when mine has arrived/I've set it up.
You reckon? So I should go back and re-do my order with the extended warranty? Are these panels known for being unreliable or something?
:(
with my tvs, i always take out extended warranty for the peace of mind and maybe better resale value.
I bought a 40" VIVO a few years ago for ~$450, came with the standard 12 month warranty. Died on me after 13-14months.
Had a couple of el junko tvs fail just out of the warranty period. If you want a real cheap tv then make sure it lasts, get the extended warranty.
even though i took out the extended warranty, my 42" 100mhz Soniq TV is still running strong after 2-3 years of average usage.
I bought one of these in October for the same price, great tv for the $$.
My Chromium has too many tabs and the title for this was shortened down as "46inch Dick…"
Happy Monday.
Yeah sorry, it's not that kind of bargain. :(
luckily Dick Smith doesn't own Dick Smith anymore, otherwise the ad will be similar to these http://www.theage.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/tv-ban…
The first two words of the title made me laugh.
So how are these TV's? Good enough for a second TV to watch the news and play the occasional Xbox game while the main TV is in use?
Has anyone had any experience with DSE brand TV? Would love to hear some review/feedback on these as I have been looking for a cheap 46" for a while now :)
As mentioned below the sound isn't that great this could be because its fairly thin, I plugged it into a home theater system to get passed this. The USB playback function is pretty limited as far as file formats go, but if you can live with these limitations its a great TV.
I find it a whole lot better in image quality than my fairly old Panasonic 50" Plasma.
My father in law bought the 98cm full HD version of this TV in sales last week for $338. Only real complaint is that the channel changing is really slow and the sound is a little tinny for my liking. The picture is reasonable however I am comparing to my TV (an LG 100 hz).
LG 100hz +1 (my next tv).. not a fair comparison for something of this standard.
Repeating for anyone who cant be bothered scrolling up the posts … the el cheapo bargain tvs do compromise in some areas of quality and performance, ie: lower quality components, slower channel changing, weak signal gain, lack of picture definition or contrast.
They can be a good bargain if you are lucky, insure that luck with an extended warranty.
Without it they are not worth the risk and can work out to be a very expensive tv when comparing the years of use until it is off to the tip.
Recommend taking the extended warranty with these.
