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.
+13 votesYou 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.
-27 votesIf it was number 1 in Japan, I would be impressed. But number 1 in china means nothing, almost everything I buy from china is poor build quality. However, this is a very good price for a 50" TV. I guess you get what you pay for. At only $499, I think its worth the risk.
+27 votesI'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 meant made in China. The simple truth is when people look on the bottom of an item and see a 'Made in China' sticker, they are instantly disappointed and usually want to peel it off quick before anyone else sees. However if there was a 'Made in Japan/Italy/USA/Australia' they would feel much happier and would probably keep it on and not want to peel it off in embarrassment.
There is a reason why people feel like this. China is associated with the word cheap. Not just in price, but also in build quality. If I had the choice of two identical items at identical prices, but one was made in China and the other made in another country, I would choose the other country and I'm sure most here would also.
+19 votesI 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
+16 votesI 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.
+4 votesHa, 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.
+15 votesI'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.
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
+30 votesJust 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.
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.
+2 votesMake it so on 07/03/2013 - 13:05 ¶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.
+2 votesPresidentClinton on 07/03/2013 - 15:36 ¶It's probably the same stuff Samsung and LG use, but with less fancy marketing.
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.

Dunno how the brand stacks up though.
-3 votesgrapedrink on 07/03/2013 - 13:25 ¶yes mate, because high school kids love physically abusing TV's when they are bored. seriously?
do you ever recall getting an urge to abuse a TV when you got bored in class?
what could they have done to "abuse" the tv's other than using them a lot?
- -1 votegrapedrink on 07/03/2013 - 14:11 ¶
big difference between having a personal laptop that is brought to and from school and a TV that sits in a class room unused for most of the time.
- -2 votesgrapedrink on 08/03/2013 - 08:25 ¶
what school did you go to?
your school abused TVs? what does that even mean? the students? the staff? the classroom?
if you're talking high school, I highly doubt the above occurred and if it did, where the hell were the teachers? top 10 school…. sure thing champ.
- grapedrink on 08/03/2013 - 10:44 ¶
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.
The HDMI ports, well that could be a different case. You tell me, you made the claim mate!

manbearpig on 07/03/2013 - 14:03 ¶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.

+1 votePlease 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.
