Not sure what to make of this tv, seems like a cheap big screen tv. Apparently a bigger brand in china then here but don't really know much more then that.

Found 1 review that seemed positive but not much more: http://www.quora.com/Reviews-of-Skyworth-LED-TV-55-55E66A#st…

So here are the specs from the site:

Skyworth 55E66A Full-HD
LED TV - 55"
1920 x 1080 Resolution
Built in HD (DVB-T) Tuner - EPG (Electronic Programing Guide)
Bluray Ready
3 HDMI Input
1 x VGA(PC) Input - A/V In - Components(RGB) Input - 1 x USB Port(Support Mpeg2)PVR Function
1 x Headphone Output - Ultra Slim LPS Technology

**Bit skeptical about the 120Hz claim, not sure if it is actually 60Hz
***Half price shipping ends today (not sure when)

      yeah heard of mwave being shady in the past

  • Make it so on 25/06/2013 - 12:55

    If it's a 120Hz tv then it was intended for the US market. As such, there is a very significant chance that the tuner is not compatible with Australian standards.

    • cruise on 25/06/2013 - 13:08

      According to this site http://www.bestbuy247.com.au/shop/item.aspx?itemid=25 it uses DVB-T which I believe is what is used in Australia

        Okay, that's good. But I noticed it is PAL/SECAM compatible. That means NTSC (the standard used in US and much of Asia) won't work. So many DVD's from India and other countries may not play, I think.

        • IJustKnowStuff on 25/06/2013 - 13:24

          Pretty sure if it's connected via HDMI it won't matter. Could be wrong.

        • Make it so on 25/06/2013 - 13:30

          True, but it will matter if connected by any other means, I think. Unless you use a receiver which converts, rather than passes through.

        • SBOB on 25/06/2013 - 15:17

          bzzzt wrong answer but thanks for playing

        • Make it so on 26/06/2013 - 00:39

          Just trying to warn people. There was a post before (which got unpublished) of a place trying to sell US televisions which would not have worked here.
          One of my tv's is hooked up without HDMI and I play NTSC discs from time to time.

  • medium_tight on 25/06/2013 - 13:00

    5 inch longer and bigger scan rate than Aldi's Bauhn $599 (50'/60 hz)

    is it worth extra $110???

    • Make it so on 25/06/2013 - 13:13

      cheaper than other prices I have seen for "5 inch longer"

      • Forfiet on 25/06/2013 - 13:41

        "cheaper than other prices I have seen for "5 inch longer" "
        shall i go there with that comment or not……. honestly you make it too easy ill pass :)
        P.S I'd rather have no warranty problems when buyin a tv, so ill pass….. sad im lookin for a 55" tv. :-)

        • Make it so on 25/06/2013 - 14:13

          It's a game of statistics. If the chance of your tv breaking is 20%, but you save >20% on the purchase price, then you're ahead (provided you can financially cope with the full loss in the event that it does break). I am not prepared to spend 30% extra or more to buy from a store with "good service" if the chance that I will need that service is actually 10% or less.
          Of course it's hard to put a price on frustration…

  • annoynimous on 25/06/2013 - 13:01

    saw the 4k tv from skyworth at guangzhou, pretty goooood

    not sure on reliability though, skyworth is becoming common household brand

  • wog_ta on 25/06/2013 - 13:20

    Would this mean they are using LG panels? http://www.skyworth.com.hk/blank21.htm

    599 + shipping now…

    does it have a standard warranty at least?

    and then I read my post above, 1 year warranty~!

    • stebie on 25/06/2013 - 19:22

      Shipping is ~$15 on the checker but ~$36 during checkout (to 3020).

      I wonder… was shipping always off or did they bump it back up for the frenzy?
