Best Cheap TV 50 - 55"

Landydew on 20/08/2015 - 11:35

Hi
My Sony Bravia KDL46HX800 just died after 4 1/2 years of service.

Hence in the market for a new TV.
Don't want to spend too much on TV any-more as the last one costed me around $425/ year.
So looking at budget ones for this time (around $700 mark).
I liked the clarity of my tv though.
Please suggest something with a decent screen.
ATM I am considering anything Chanhong 50" (I guess Dicksmith is going to phase em out soon)
Soniq E55S14A (Don't really need 3D but I liked the screen on this one)
Any other ??
Need help from Fellow OZBargainers
Cheers
Andy

      Checked everything swapped both the bal board & inverter board. Nothing works. The last option left is the Panel itself, that is too expensive to replace.

    I bought 55" TV from Kogan 2 years ago for about $700 delivered, its not the best in terms of specs etc but works fine and I haven't had any issues with it (touch the wood:).

      Hi Bion
      I looked on Kogan one's. The only thing that puts me off is warranty. you only get 1 year from them. I really want 3-years atlest. Thats why Changhong and Soniq.
      My experience with Kogan branded products has not been great. So for anything worth more than $50 I really dont have much confidence in Kogan. Good to hear yours is going strong.

        fair enough but look also on gumtree you might score good deal on second hand

    Don't go with hisence.
    The brand new TV we have takes over a minute to turn on which is extremely frustrating. It was a gift, if I had my way I would have forked out myself for a better tv

      Hi Sandgroper,
      what model you have. I am seriously thinking about the 50K390PAD.

        I will check when I get home

        Same model but the 55 inch
        You might not mind but I find it frustrating how slow it is.
        Plus it's an android TV but you can't watch catch up TV channel because of some licensing thing

      Thanks,
      Thats exactly what I did. Before looking at your comment.
      And was happy with it, till I saw the Aldi 65" UHD for $1200 yesterday.
      grrrrr.
