i got this Sony TV from The Good Guys recently at $2795 and wondering if you have the receipt for the above price ($2249) from Bing Lee so that i can claim TGG for 30 days price guarantee
Thanks for your help
Hi hailan,
Unfortunately I got it from Sony eBay store. It was on clearance for $2471 - $300 (15% off eBay) - $100 (4% CR). I don't think TGG would honor an eBay PM?
Just received the $2400 Sony 75" non 4K from Bing Lee this week.
Can't tell you how pleased I am after replacing poor 2014 W850B Sony models.
4K wasn't a feature could justify the extra cost for.My Sony 75" should arrive tomorow! ended up getting mine for $2370 from the sony store. Hopefully i'll also be happy with the purchase! :)
You'll love it, how'd you end up getting such a good price for it?
Be careful if it's a 2nd/refurbished model I've had major issues with them before.I picked it up when it was on sale for $2600 the other day, then added $30 coupon and then the CR ended up being applied to the RRP of $4500 for some reason so i got back a bit more than i thought i would which was a nice surprise! :)
Such an awesome TV! I got mine from Bing Lee as well… At this point, it wasn't worth the upgrade just to watch a few 4K you tube clips.. I put those 4k youtube clips on the 75" and they look awesome! Size matters!
That's short sighted though. 4k content will be widely available in the near future. The picture clarity is beautiful with 4k content. If you're getting a TV in 2016 there's no reason to not get 4k at this point. Not even money given non 4k tvs are only marginally cheaper. When I buy technology I don't want it to be irrelevant months after I buy it. 4k will last you a very long time, until years and years down the track when 8k+ comes out. After looking at 4k myself 1080p looks crap in comparison.
Ah yes, everything will be 4K in "months" and that will make all other TVs "irrelevant." Uh-huh…
- oled/dled
- curved display
- 3d withouth glasses
- 4k
and the list goes on
Because those are gimmicks. 4k significantly improves the visual fidelity compared to 1080p. Seriously go look at a 4k tv with 4k video being streamed to it.
Did I say a timeframe? I said near future. You can already get 4k content it's just not as widely available as 1080p.
oled is visually superior
curved is a gimmick ill give you that
3d without glasses i would be up for as i find wearing the glasses distractingFoxtel cant do 4k they cant even afford the 4x bandwidth of 1080p for every channel let alone the 16x bandwidth for 4k!
NBN has been stuffed by Turnbull so only those with fibre to home [10% population] can consume 4k online streaming smoothly with multiple internet devices in the home
theres no "new blu ray" type disc which can hold 4k content [1/200gb?] on the horizonhow do you propose 4k content becomes "widely available" in australia? please show your workings
4k content will be widely available in the near future.
No it won't. It will be years before it's "widely" available. Most of the TV's people are buying today will die and require replacement before they ever get to display 4k content.
But the TV salesman said…
You can already get 4k content, it's just not as widely available as 1080p content.
Lol didn't know tvs died almost instantaneously after you buy it, that must be a new thing I haven't heard of. /s
There was a $1200 reason for me to go for full HD instead of 4k…. apologies for not being made of money and using that as a reason.
If you're already spending 4 thousand dollars on a TV, 1 thousand more is nothing. Especially when you're getting significantly more pixels for the price.
@mattydogge: The obsession with pixels (despite almost no content, and ignoring other somewhat important stuff like bitrate and so on) must warm the marketers' hearts.
There is content, it's just not widely available yet.
This is why you get a TV with 4k, a good bitrate, contast etc… Really you're putting up a straw man argument here.
@mattydogge: Ah, it's the content that has the bitrate, and so on, not the TV…
Also, content that you can't access isn't much use, is it? And nobody said there was no content, they said there was very little, and that's the case.
@Mic Cullen: And I've already argued why that's short sighted thinking. Why invest when I can use that 30 thousand dollars to buy a car?
The clarity is only beautiful if you sit 1-2 meters away from the screen. If couch 3-6 meters away, it's utterly indistinguishable… This is biology, no one is an exception to this. The human eye can only resolve so much.
People said that about 60fps vs 30fps yet you can still easily tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps.
Mate it took about 10 years for 1080p to catch on.
Very true. My home theatre is now 4K and watching 1080 now is so 2000's. A lot of 4K knockers on OZB so don't expect much love. Haters gonna hate.
I wouldn't expect a tv to last more than 6 years these days. 4k might be more relevant when I purchase my next telly.
4K is amazing. I have 3 cameras that I use to take 4K video all the time and I use a retina 5K monitor. I don't watch any free to air TV ( due to lifestyle, not quality) and my next TV will definitely be 4K.
You're crazy to buy a UHD TV when FUHD is just around the corner.
FUHD isn't even around the corner, 4k content is only just starting to become more widely available. 4k will last many years just as 1080p lasted many years. Stop with these dishonest arguments.
@Mic Cullen: I totally hit the point. Your argument is that there will always be a new technology, so saying "x technology is right around the corner" is invalid. However in this case the next big technology is not going to come out any time soon. 4k content is barely out there already, in the near future 8k isn't going to be a thing.
@Mic Cullen: Congratulations of glibly asserting I'm missing the point without demonstrating why I'm missing the point.
@mattydogge: How to explain sarcasm to someone who has no idea about it? Like explaining red to a blind person.
@Mic Cullen: So you automatically assume anyone who doesn't get your sarcasm over the internet (which is sometimes ambiguous given the medium) doesn't get sarcasm at all. Cool, nice one.
What the hell was the point of your comment then if it was sarcasm? Were you poking holes in the idea that one should wait for a new technology? If so again the original comment still stands.
My dad hasn't stopped watching movies on it.
To pennyless… May I know what's wrong with your W850B? I have R550A, predecessor W850B and I am quite happy with it… Of course I wanted a bigger ones 😜.
Also, how far your viewing distance for the new 75" FHD? As I'm afraid that my space not big enough to accommodate FHD due to larger pixel size and might need UHD. Thx
The 3D was a big feature for me that was unusable on the W850B, the clouding/radial banding almost justified a return.
The picture clarity improvement is immediately noticeable on the W950C and is a joy to watch after a year with the older model, I really felt short changed spending $2400 on the 70" W850B and am considering contacting Sony about it.
I watch the 75" at around 10-12 ft, the 3D (if it matters to you) is flawless, makes me feel they dropped the ball on the 2014 model, it's only redeeming factor was the 21ms input lag.I see… Thank you 😃… Now to convince the wife to get spending approved…
may the odds be ever in your favor
I still like the Panasonic better at this price point. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/227821#comment-3343444, http://www.panasonic.com/au/consumer/televisions-projectors/…
No one in their right mind would should buy a 4K Tv for anything other than specialized viewing. Especially in Australia at this time. Regular TV channels barely get 720p with a select few 1080p only just becoming somewhat more available. Unless youre a blu ray enthusiast or your context strictly comes from the internet.. I personally dont see the benefit of purchasing right now
Agreed and by the time it is readily available, 4k tvs should be dirt cheap.
Does specialised viewing include hooking your PC up to it and/or streaming Netflix et al?
Of course. Im just saying 4K is fine as long as youre using it to its full potential. Dont waste money on something if youre not going to use it properly
Same. Use the money to go up a size, or just save it until there's a point besides telling everyone you've got a 4K TV.
so u have a big pixelated screen so you can go telling everyone you've got a really big screen?
Yeah, FHD is really pixelated, great point.
@mp3police: You may not have noticed, but this is about a 65" screen. We're not talking projectors or the like. Besides which, there's so little 4K content around (or is is compressed to death, like Netflix "4K") that's it a moot point anyway. Still, #braggingrights
So a 4K screen suddenly makes all that FHD content non-pixelated?
@fatpizza: alot of the newer screens have processors in that use anti aliasing techniques to upscale video feeds so it will look better eitherway, I connect my screens up to my computer. and dont watch live tv
@mp3police:
"upscaling" doesn't exist. It's a marketing term. The correct term is "scaling".
All it's doing is softening or blurring the picture so pixelation isn't so obvious.
speak for your self i've been using 4K for over a year and probably wouldn't go back to HD
you mean back to FHD.
4K vs FHD vs sizes! is the big dilemma (and price of course)He specifically said for the enthusiast, and in my case and the majority of tv users he is 100% correct.
I would definitely buy 4K over the next size up. Even though I regard my FHD TV still having drop dead gorgeous colour/black specs the resolution bump from my parents 4K X8500 (bought from the big sale during Nov) is obvious. Viewing my photos and very high bitrate FHD content 50mbps on the 4K TV it was obvious which TV had the advantage in sharpness and detail.
Many people don't realise that bitrate of content is almost always more important than the resolution it's recorded in. Which is why popping in a FHD blu-ray is already taking advantage of 4K, since that will upscale well.
Which is why popping in a FHD blu-ray is already taking advantage of 4K, since that will upscale well.
No it is NOT.
"upscale well"
LOL
I've got one of Panasonics last plasmas. If it doesn't last until OLED becomes mainstream, I'll cry, lots.
Wouldn't trade it in for any 4k LED I've seen. Same old LED issues, 4k res or not. Makes no difference.
indeed. I'm waiting for 4k OLED to be bargain price.
I can wait.
In the mean time I might get a 4K monitor for 4K online content and camera.
my budget is sub $1k and would like to secure a minimmum of 60inch 100hz FHD. I tend to agree with your statement only in the last month 9 turned on HD and channel 7 still play afl in SD. so UHD maybe a consideration in 4 years when the technology will be maturing and the content will be mainstream.
\
Regular TV is 1080i at best.
To add to that, LED is still a flawed tech. We won't see plasma like contrast and blacks until OLED gets going. Cheaper, branded 1080p LED seems like the best bet for now. Upgrade to OLED once Panasonic get them on the market.

Can anyone advise who had seen a standard Blue ray on both 75" FHD and UHD and if they saw any difference in picture quality?
There shouldn't be because up-scaling can't add detail?
Agreed. But up-scaling does look better isn't it? Same thing happened when FHD tv came and they used to upscale the DVD contents.
NO. Not if the TV is set up right.
For Blue ray content overscan should be disabled (use 1:1 pixel mapping).No, scaling looks worse because the TV has to use processing to add in pixels where there are none. Viewing the content on a TV the same resolution as the source will always look better, this is why those 240p retro consoles (NES, etc) all look terrible on UHD TVs.
Some of ABC and free to air channels are still SD. 4K TV'S are only for 4K VIDEO content.???.
Not sure, but I think think the UHD ( or so called 4k TVs) upscale the FHD or HD content to UHD. So I think it should look better compared to a same size FHD TV.
It's still listed at $2,799 on Bing Lee?
Different models: KD65X8500C vs KD65X9000C. :)

The only hope I have of a 4K source in the next ten years is 4K Bluray. I buy few Bluray discs (only a load of 3D ones to show off when I initially bought my 3D TV) so I really can't see much changing if I had a 4K player.
Starting to wonder if there's any point in me getting a 4K TV! Might just look for a 75" FHD instead.
Oh, nice deal BTW for those lucky enough to have decent internet speeds or be 'specialist viewers'.
I dont think Im gonna get NBN in the next 10 years so no point looking at 4k Tvs :/
Indeed. What % of Australia can stream a 4k signal as we speak? Pointless atm.
WARNING
DO NOT GET IF YOU ARE HARDCORE GAMER. Input lag looks 80+ ms where as similar Samsung 20msdo you have an input lag tester?
Yes, Leo bodnar cost me a mint from UK. Sir yagdog
Or it's around 35ms, depending on who you believe:
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900c?uxtv=97b6Yeah, that's one reason I bought the 65" 850, it's great for gaming.
If you are a hardcore gamer wouldn't you be looking at 120hz/140hz screens rather than a big TV?
WARNING
DO NOT MAKE CLAIMS YOU CANNOT BACK WITH SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.
Please don't buy this model it's useless got more issues with screen and sound hangs very often

Good effort TA but far from the value that we get from the BingLee $2249 65X8500C (or $2071 from eBay if you were lucky).
