    Apparently they have given out 10 tickets for 10 TVs to the people in line at carrum downs store

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 07:44

    My advice stay away from the liverpool area it will sell out.

    • ashikk on 12/09/2015 - 08:03

      And ST marys area as well. Already about 50 in the queue.

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 07:48

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 07:58

    Looks like it's going to be a sell out folks…. I will let you know of my opinion when I unbox and try it out at home this arvo. :)

  • Shutterfish on 12/09/2015 - 08:39

    Only 5 here in Coomera. Got here7:50 and had 20 people before us. Sold out before we even got in to the store.

  • lvlutt on 12/09/2015 - 08:41

    There were 4 at Frankston store and there was a stupid rush thy should have handed out tickets to first in line

  • c0balt on 12/09/2015 - 08:42

    Yay got one! No mention of 100/120hz motion anywhere on the box. Got a feeling that there is no interpolation despite being a 120hz panel.

    Will post up with impressions soon.

  • bluephonebox on 12/09/2015 - 08:42

    5 at mac center as well. snapped up the second one. will report back in the afternoon once i assemble it.

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 08:48

    Update only 5 available to the public looks like Aldi staff kept 15 for themselves was already a dust up mad rush into the store. Wow lucky people waited over an hour and came away empty handed and pushed in and got one. BLOODBATH!!!!!!

    I experienced the most appauling decorum ever in history this morning, lined up since 730….. there was at least 50people outside lined up behind me.

    This is my first and my last time i will ever put myself in this situation again….

    830 on the dot the doors opened .. it was a (profanity) stampeed i tell you.

    Ive never seen anything like it, to the point people were pushing each other and some lady fell over.

    People ran to the back of the store where supposedly the TVs were, but Aldi staff didnt take them out, they started to wheel the TVs out on a pallet and would you believe that everyone started running to the back dock.

    Aldi staff had to stop everyone and say its restricted area and that if they didnt stop pushing they were not going to sell them.

    By that time i rekon 60 seconds from the doors opening to the time of being at the back dock doors there was at least 50 people lined up pushing each other… it go to the point people started abusing each other saying I WAS HERE FIRST MATE….. almost a punch up happened at one point….

    I was about 6 from the line outside, inside it was a different story i didnt expect people to react this way. I was probabaly about 10 from the line in the store…

    I should HOW MANY TVS DO YOU HAVE… she goes 10.

    LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    Good luck chuck… i missed out by one position.

    But thats not the point the point is people dont give a (profanity), Aldi should have handled and have the responsibility to manage this better. I am putting in an official complaint it to Aldi head office and i have have pictures and video footage of the shambles this morning. Will be submitting my story to A Current Affair also.

    How about this Aldi, why dont you have a first in best dressed policy and give people tickets outside that are lined up first numbers.

    Then when you go inside if you want a TV and your ticket number is read out you get it, if you miss out due to low stock level then you miss out fairly.

    Mod: Inappropriate

    I am utterly (profanity) disgraced…. this was at Fairfield West ALDI btw.

    • nepal on 12/09/2015 - 09:57

      At quakers Hills we were given ticket in line so we knew we will get it and there wasn't any rush due to the ticket. I must admit that stock was pretty low only 10.

    • Regie69 on 12/09/2015 - 10:01

      I know how you feel. Two weeks ago My wife was punched in the arm by a guy that pushed in. This was for the juke box. There was only 2. She ended up getting one. ALL Aldi need to have a numbering system like someone mentioned earlier.

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 09:56

    Feel so sorry for the people waiting behind us very disappointed with Aldi and there practices they knew they had a hot ticket item there should of had security at the door in place and only let two people go in at a time a complete joke. Only me my old man and the couple behind us obtained one the rest pushed in and grab one each.

    Some early impressions.

    My worries turned out to all be true.

    1) No 100/120hz at all. What you input is what you get.

    2) No scaling. When hooked up to a PC I can only get 1080p and it's overscanned to hell. Cuts off about 10% of the image I would think.

    3) Input lag. It's a lot. It's a joke. It's unusable for gaming.

    4) Burn in. Just from doing the initial setup I can still see a faint outline of where the DTV setup was.

    It is big and bright though. At this rate I will use it for about a week before returning it I think. I really hope that some firware updates come out that address the flaws with this TV.

    • Shonky on 12/09/2015 - 10:14

      Sounds great. I'll bet it works well as a PC monitor then… /sarcasm

      Are you particularly surprised though? You got what you paid for.

    • ozhunter on 12/09/2015 - 10:16

      It's size and UHD resolution are it's main selling points. At this price, it's expected to lack a lot of other features.

      Did you check if the current firmware is the latest one?

      • c0balt on 12/09/2015 - 10:24

        Horrible nput lag isn't a lack of a feature.

        It's unusable out of the box on any inputs including TV.

        I'll be trying the firmware update now.

      2) No scaling. When hooked up to a PC I can only get 1080p and it's overscanned to hell. Cuts off about 10% of the image I would think.

      Not correct. Under "Smart Hub" you get a "Picture" option that can be set to "Just Scan".

      • c0balt on 12/09/2015 - 10:32

        I don't see an option to scan? But I do see an option to turn on motion control, which does work but causes a bit of stuttering.

        So it does have interpolation. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction to find it, but I'm surprised it's hidden in that menu and not in the main menu/settings.

        • stratbargain on 12/09/2015 - 10:38

          Yeah I can't see the scan option. I know on old bauhn tv's it was in the service menu, so if we can get access to it it will open it up a bit I think.

          I'm pretty happy with the picture quality with netflix and fetch which is 99% of what I'll do with the tv. Just want access to the service menu to do a proper calibration of the display before deciding to keep it or returnit.

        • c0balt on 12/09/2015 - 10:41

          @stratbargain:

          What about the input lag issue? Mine is really bad, could be up to half a second. I'm updating the firware as I type this and hopefully it does the trick.

          My burn in has completely gone and hasn't come back even when I had a static image up for a few minutes.

          EDIT: Firmware update significantly reduced input lag on DTV and possibly slightly reduced it on the HDMI inputs (but it's still really noticeable on HDMI).

          I now also see the option for 'Just Scan' under the aspect ratio - and it works. No more setting a custom resolution.

          @c0balt:

          Input lag is there but not too bad (not great though), but I don't do too much gaming on it these days (that's for the PC).

          Pretty happy with the netflix quality though and the motion smoothing isn't complete garbage either which I was expecting.

          I have yet to try 4K though (I'm not sure I have any 4K compatible devices to be honest.).

          Turning the colour down and the backlight down and it's looking pretty good. I'm sure it's not up there with similar Sony/LG/Samsung TV's, but it's also $2,800 cheaper :)

          I'll setup the Eye-One later today if I get time and calibrate the display and get some proper readings on greyscale levels, contrast etc.

      ALDI should be expecting a lot of people to be lining up at each store, and they should have implemented a proper system rather than relying on people to, as you said, fight to be one of the lucky few to purchase them. This is appalling.

          PS4 can't output 4k.

          I've got 1080p working with no over/underscan using HDMI from my PC, but haven't got 4K working (GPU specs say its 2.0 so the card can output 4k @ 60hz, but I don't think my cable is 2.0).

          I'll get onto a HDMI 2.0 cable and test it then.

          The dude saying this TV has no lag on the HDMI inputs must be bonkers. It's really noticeable - tested with a PC and xbox 360.

    • elektron on 12/09/2015 - 12:28

      No. Having said that, I'm yet to see upscaling that works well.

      • Shonky on 12/09/2015 - 12:50
        +2

        It must upscale to display anything less than UHD (it's not a 4k display) on the whole display. So saying it doesn't upscale is incorrect.

        • elektron on 12/09/2015 - 15:04

          You're confusing conversion with upscaling. Without upscaling, if you plug-in a VGA source into a 1080p monitor, you'll still get a VGA image. There's plenty of popular information available on this if you're interested in finding out more about this.

          More to the point, according to this thread on Whirlpool there's been a confirmation from Aldi that this TV does not upscale.

        • Shonky on 12/09/2015 - 16:02
          +1

          @elektron:
          Nope. Unless it displays say a 1920x1080 image in the middle of the screen using only 1920x1080 pixels of the screen then it upscales.

          An LCD has finite pixels so they must be lit based on the source. I'd there aren't enough in the source they are created when scaling.

          How good a job it does is another question. It has to create pixel information from nothing when displaying a lower resolution image on a higher resolution screen so how well this does this can be variable. Proper scalers can do a better job.

          Conversion and scaling are the same thing.

          @Shonky:
          They are not.

          Conversion is passive and re-resizes the picture just by adding white noise, which is very simple to achieve.

          Active upscaling actually applies interpolation algorithms to assign 'meaningful' information to pixels, which wasn't there in the source. Yes, the quality of these algorithms varies but that's not the point.

        • Shonky on 12/09/2015 - 17:00

          @elektron:
          Bollocks. Provide a single reference to displaying a source with a different resolution to the screen using white noise or it being passive in any way.

    Ok let me give you a better run down this is my honest opinion of what I'm seeing as I'm testing the unit.

    No I'm not techy when it comes tech tv stuff this review is based on a normal person or a family that will buy this for this price point so guys don't expect miracles in upscale or performance. It's a $1199 machine.

    Note I don't work or have any affiliation to Aldi nor Bauhn what so ever nor paid for this review.

    Please Note that I brought this TV to do everything but not pc screening off it so lets get that out of the way first have not tested that feature as yet but if you want to know let me know.

    I've been playing around with it all afternoon this is my conclusion. I think this is the model that they finally got right and is their benchmark to work off heading forward.

    Build quality 7 out of 10 thin but not as thin as other brands. Heat generated very little which was suprising it's been on since this morning.

    Installing unit and getting started very easy 10 min I was up and running channels scanned, wifi, no problems find it very easy so far.

    PS4 tried tested picked up run a ps4 game through honestly I don't see any issues screen wise 7 out of 10

    Tv channels same I don't see any issues screen wise 7 out of 10

    Smart tv functions easy to navigate no issues getting around a novice can get around this no problems you tube easy no issues there surfing the web not a problem quality I don't see any issues 7 out of 10

    4k - video content I tested footage off my galaxy note 4 film footage at 4k play off the tv looks great off the tv no issues there 7.5 out of 10.

    Sound - don't expect much from this is a let down but easy sorted when you install surround sound but as is no good 3 out of 10

    Remote and keyboard - no issues to report responsive even from 5 meters away

    Performance it's fine I don't see any issues there 7 out of 10

    I think what everyone wants to know is the reliability of Brahn Tv the jury is out on that but next 60 days I going to thrash the crap out of this machine to see if it can keep up so I keep you posted if it survives the 60 days.

    So far so good but for $1199 Bauhn is getting better with every release.

    Note spoke to my Aldi insider depending on how they sell this weekend will determine whether they will do another run at it 6 month's for the 55 inch and 65 inch again of course at a different price point because rumor has it they are thinking a 70 inch model price my guess price $1499 judging from what I witness today this is now on the cards for next year.

    If they do I would buy again but this time be early first in line once doors open run to the tv and stake your claim I was just lucky enough to grab one.

  • Mr Cheapskate on 12/09/2015 - 16:16

    The question to ask yourself is this can you justify in paying an extra 2k for a brand one or this type of Tv. My answer is that 2k is still in my pocket. :)

    • nubzy on 12/09/2015 - 16:23
      +1

      Not 2k no, but if I was buying I think I could justify the extra $1300 (after negotiations) for that 65" Samsung Curved UHD that was at JBHIFI a few weeks ago. Price will only continue to drop as well. None of Aldi's tech products seem to have been worthwhile at all, made the mistake buying the $99 tablet and it was returned the same day, it was horrible. Don't think I will bother with any more of their junk.

      • elektron on 12/09/2015 - 16:57

        IMHO, curved TVs are overrated - unless you're sitting in the dead-centre sweet spot they're actually worse than flat screens and not suitable for families or having friends over.

        I definitely wouldn't pay more for a Samsung if I can get 2 Bauhns for the same price with enough change left for a few Chromecasts.

        Budget tablets have mostly been bad all around (at least from 2-3 years ago), regardless of the manufacturer.

        I did have a bad experience with a Crane bluetooth HRM from Aldi, which I returned after a month, no questions asked.

    hooked up a surround sound set up now that's better.

    Media player no sweat quality differs off course of what u d/l quality but plays well

    Netflix great throughout 8 out of 10 for all.

    Sold out not surprising looks like another run will happen soon.

    This for a regular person is sufficient enough.

      Blu ray is bad with its 'upscaling'?

    Been running my watt meter after a while and have found the figures to be correct on the website.

    Standby is 0.1w
    Active DTV with mediumish sound 193w

    I want to hear more reviews about input lag and delay with video games.

    • dqtl74 on 13/09/2015 - 05:05

      No good for competitive multiplayer and games requiring fast reactions. Tolerable otherwise.

        I have my HTPC hooked up to my amplifier and I have to delay the audio 200 ms in VLC in order to get proper sync.

        200ms!

        That is not tolerable for any form of gaming.

        • carlitos on 16/09/2015 - 11:35

          It sounds a lot like post processing without a gaming mode option.

        • c0balt on 16/09/2015 - 14:11

          @carlitos:

          Since posting I have sourced a dual link DVI-D to HDMI 1.4 cable that lets me run 4K at 60hz, or 1080p at 120hz. Previously I was using a mDP to HDMI 1.3 cable that topped out at 1080p 60hz.

          There's no significant delay anymore. I would guess around 20ms delay which would be fine for most gaming. I can still tell there's a little bit of input lag from moving the mouse around the screen, but my audio and video are synced up fine.

          Problem is that it's hard to drive games at 4K with my 970, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting the scaling to be done inside my GPU, i.e. run a game in 1080p but scale it to 4K on the output so that I can play a 1080p game on my TV from my PC but the TV sees a 4K signal so it doesn't have to process the image as much.

          It's going to take a fair bit of dialing in, and probably some driver switching as it's a really niche thing.

          I would still much prefer an update that would allow me to run 1080p straight to the TV with minimal lag.

          Very interesting, thanks.

  • smpantsonfire on 13/09/2015 - 14:56

    Anyone else brick their tv during update? :( hopefully there is a hard reset our something

    • R3XNebular on 13/09/2015 - 20:59

      I am unable to Scan for channels without it resetting. Anyone else have this issue?
      Did the firmware update also.

    • mousie on 16/09/2015 - 15:34

      It's not a brick - it's a table according to the prior comments.

  • retroranger on 14/09/2015 - 00:35

    Can't seem to work the Keyboard on the remote? Is there a setting to activate it?

    As when I tried to use it to enter the Wifi password I got nothing and had to use the onscreen

    I'm actually glad i didnt buy the tv, here is why… having over a grand in cash in my pocket i set out that day to go buy a tv, went to a few placed had a look at my options for that price point your looking at something like a changhong, soniq or hisense brands….these brands aren't BAD, no worse if not better than Bauhn.

    So why am i happy i didn't get the Bauhn ? Well first of for about $200 bux you can get something that looks nicer from a more reputable manufacturer with 3 years warranty.

    To me warranty is the biggest thing, 12 months is simply not enough especially when forking out $1200 for something. I generally am a big believer in getting extended warranty usually for the maximum lifetime so 5 years for an extra $120 is worth it in my eyes just as insurance.

    I ended up speaking to a nice guy in JBHIFI and he was about to sell me an equivalent Hisense UHD Tv for under $2000…. he gave me a flat cost of $1899
    http://hisense.com.au/tvs/K680/65/120

    It looks better, its Android powered, and it comes with a 3 year REPLACEMENT WARRANTY… BOOM… to me i would of rathered gotten the Hisense, its from JB, its a reputable shop, 3 years extended warranty, similar spec but probably better build quality overall… for only a bit more.

    Not only that, i've done enough research to now realise that RIGHT NOW its not even worth getting a 4k TV, media is not even mainstream, TV has a while to get their, Netflix has 'SOME' content but aussie bandwidth cant even cope with it, or not for me anyway. And all DVD or TV content is upscaled. Which reading about looks rubbish and no difference to getting a 1080p image.

    Here is an interesting article i read
    http://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/4k-ultra-hd-uhd-vs-1080p-full…

    Its all true, even me not being an audiophile would understand that depending on your environment will depend on wether you see the benefits of the 4k or not. For me i wont i have a distance of exactly 4 meters from the couch, so i would not see a significant difference between 4k or 1080p. The closer you get yes you would see benefits.

    Here is what ill probabaly end up getting if you want a half decent tv and missed out on the Bauhn
    http://hisense.com.au/tvs/65K390PAD/65/0

    You can get this tv for about $1699 from JB.. that's $300 bux more than the Bauhn and it comes with a 3 years replacement warranty.

    So what would you rather get in light of my above observations ?

    Was first in line and first to buy at Aldi Warringah Mall. I arrived 6.30 that day as not to miss out. Now I have the TV I can describe it in one word "disappointing".

    The TV is cheap for a reason…$1200 is cheap, but when it performs so poorly it's becomes expensive! Will be returning it…So back to my original plan, keep saving for a Samsung js8000 or js9000.

    can now order them from Aldi
    https://www.facebook.com/ALDI.Australia

    "We heard that some of you missed out on our Bauhn 65” Ultra HD Smart TVs on Saturday, they were so popular we found more just for you! Come in store by 5pm Saturday 19/09 or call 13 25 34 and order one now! Stock will be available by 30/10."

    • ashikk on 14/09/2015 - 14:59

      That is a more than a month wait time. Do we need to pay for that in advance?

      • ashikk on 14/09/2015 - 17:55

        Edit: Just called them and no payment required at the time of booking.

      • m13 on 16/09/2015 - 21:47

        It's probably to give them time to process all the returned TVs and box them back up as new.

        Edit: as Monger already made comment in the new post: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/211459#comment-3051764

    One week after purchasing no problems to report all good very happy. Also attached a 4 port usb hub with four 2tb hard drives and all of them are all working. So the tv does take oner 1tb hard drive no problems.

      You have 8TB directly connected to your TV!? I'm not sure whether to be impressed or not.
