    I bought this TV last time when it was $1199, and I'll have to say that it's a decent TV after you install software updates.. One thing to know is that the audio is pretty bad at the beginning. I feel as though it has gotten better over time, but I'd still recommend hooking up any sort of speakers to it. Initially I used regular USB computer speakers before I bought a soundbar.
    Overall, it's definitely worth the price, especially at $799 for a newer model!

    • sachz on 06/09/2016 - 18:15

      who uses in-built speakers on such a large panel. u must use external speakers off an AMP, always!

      also, its futile saying ill buy this or i wont, reality is ur local ALDI will only have about 5 in stock and they'll all be sold before the rollershutters have had time to hit the roof on door-opening.

      better luck next time!

      I got it when it was $1199 too.

      I hook it up with a cheap Logitech 2.1 speaker system.

      The kids love it. They watched free to air TV, Fetch TV and Youtube. It takes a bit long to load up. Don't put it next to a decent TV and you don't have any complaints.

      $799 is a great price!

      Hi, i also bought this TV last time when it was $1199. I am trying to buy a soundbar for it. I am OK for it to be substandard, i am guessing anything is better than what it is. Would you be able to recommend me one to look into? I was also hoping for the soundbar to just connect to the TV, and will turn on and off with the TV (rather than having another separate remote control).

        • Fitzy777 on 09/09/2016 - 11:08

          Have a look in your Smart Hub settings, the 55" must be different from the 65". To turn ON FreeviewPlus, go to SMART HUB > CHANNELS and set the
          HbbTV setting to ON. Good luck - http://www.bauhn.com.au/literature_142463/ATVS55-915-_Instruction_Manual

      Haha Made in Australia. Nice one.

    • INFIDEL on 07/09/2016 - 15:45
      +3

      It depends what you understand by "brand", and what makes it "Australian".

      Aldi in Australia own the "Bauhn" trademark. So it is an "Australian brand"… primarily from various manufacturers in China.

      The small Australian suppliers (preferring to be called manufacturers) to Aldi source cheap units from different manufacturers in China. Firmware may be tweaked in Oz. The Aldi "Bauhn" trademark is added to electronics from various manufacturers.

      Models aren't even seen by the Aldi buyers - Aldi buys on the quoted specs, at a given price, to arrive before a given sale date. So there can be some issues as the units may not be thoroughly tested before release. (Features may not work, firmware may conflict, etc)

      Manuals may be incorrect or inadequate to understand some features. (Corrections have been glued into some manuals.)

      Support may not understand your question or even deny any problem exists… (Criticism of supplier TempoAustralia on Whirlpool.)

      Aldi simply passes on any faulty units to the local supplier for them to deal with.

      Generally, new models don't build on design & experience gained from older models, design faults aren't ironed out as there is rarely any feedback from Aldi or customers about faults (the downside of easy returns, plus Aldi customers often lack knowledge & understanding of how their purchase should work as they've never bought a similar device). Besides the next model is often based on what is available for the price, often from a different manufacturer - so why improve?

      All in the rush to meet the next sales deadline & supply the most features per $…
      That's what I learnt from one supplier who contacted me to work for them - I declined.

      It's a very different business model to the specialist electronics companies. Suppliers to Aldi don't risk much reputation if a model is a dud - Aldi & it's trademark Bauhn get the blame. But what do you expect from a store selling cut price breakfast cereal, etc

      Past experience does not predict experience with future Bauhn models. Quality control is poor, so units from same batch may perform differently or not at all. There is usually no after sales support, no replacement boards etc.

      With Bauhn - it's a gamble.
      But there's 60 days to take it back. Just keep the receipt (& packaging helps).

  • joeno on 07/09/2016 - 14:55

      Why does a product need to be discounted in order to qualify as a bargain?

      It doesn't. The deal is posted and user votes determine whether it's a bargain or not. At this point in time 91 users think this deal is a bargain.

      Your negative vote doesn't do anything productive for the OzBargain community. You haven't given us any reasons other than your personal belief that products should not be posted when they're at their RRP. There is no rule against this nor should there be in my opinion.

      • aussman on 07/09/2016 - 18:13
        -5

        Because I could fill the front page with cheap Chinese junk - just because this is a low price does not make it a bargain

        If you had read any of the reviews of previous models you would know how bad the picture sound quality and interface is

        Hence rrp for this is NOT A BARGAIN

        • nocure on 07/09/2016 - 19:17

          this is clearly not the RRP..Your neg is invalid.

        • aussman on 07/09/2016 - 19:21

        • INFIDEL on 07/09/2016 - 20:35
          +1

          Not a valid reason for a neg vote.

          The Bauhn link in the deal description shows the the currently listed price (it was last sold at) as $1199. Comments above reported people buying at that price when this model was released in July.

          A $400 (1/3) drop over 2 months is significant.

          Previous models, often from different manufacturers but badged under Aldi trademark of Bauhn, do not indicate experiencd with current model, as I outlined above.

          There are shortcomings with many Bauhn products, but the 60 days given for easy return should give time to discover any issues.

          I won't be buying due to reported poor SD TV image in this model. Poor sound is easier to resolve. But many buying this won't be that interested in watching TV on this.

    • trevor99 on 07/09/2016 - 22:57

      Set your Foxtel box to 1080i and the box will upscale the lower channels to HD. That's what I do and we have a Full HD.

    I just grabbed a catalogue at Aldi and the inside page description does NOT mention anything about the Smart function or WIFI. So I assume this is a totally different model from the $1199 model? It only says it's got PVR function.

    • INFIDEL on 08/09/2016 - 14:51

      Complete feature list is listed on Bauhn site. Usually not enough space in catalog.

      • jnbluv2h on 08/09/2016 - 15:31

        Hi
        I also noticed that in original post OP added that Bauhn link of $1199 model but it did NOT mean that the one going on sale on 17/09 is the very same model. It is more than likely that the Bauhn website does NOT even have any info about this model yet as it's not released. Maybe check later on their website for update. No MODEL number is listed on the catalogue as well so it might not be the previous smart model.
        I know the aldi staff is no expert, but come on, if you are going to sell a 65" tv for $799 with WIFI and SMART functions, you would put that in bold font and first line in ad/catalogue right? You'd definitely want to mention that more than PVR function.
        Anyway I am just putting up the info I know, and hoping that the ozbargaingers interested in this deal could keep it in mind that it might not be the same model as the $1199. Just don't want you guys wake up early and move home a 65inch tv and bang, it doesn't come with wifi? Again, great price for 65 inch UHD tv, I'm considering buying one as well. Will treat the wifi function as bonus if it does come with it :-)

  • jnbluv2h on 08/09/2016 - 12:56
    +2

    Just talked to a staff at ALDI and he confirmed that this tv does NOT have WIfi and is NOT a smart tv. So it's not as same as the previous $1199 model.
    Still great price for a 65 inch UHD tv, but I think it's best to clarify it as I see many people here assume it's a smart tv as the one before.

    • INFIDEL on 08/09/2016 - 14:54

      Wouldn't go by the opinion of Aldi staff!

      [EDIT] But they were right! The model originally listed in this deal is not the model on sale!

      Staff rarely know specs of the numerous TV models they sell - even when there is one in the store, & especially so when this model was last on sale in July, and stores won't have stock for this sale for some time,. People have found that out in previous sales - reported on Whirlpool.

      Best to check features for the model number listed on Bauhn site closer to sale date. Aldi will list the details in their weekly online catalog, which should contain the link to the model on sale.

        It was strange that a TV model would drop 1/3 in price between sales. Aldi doesn't usually do that. That created interest here.

    Ah.. Good to know that I didn't pay $400 more 3 months ago for the same model. But let me re-iterate - I don't use the SmartTV/WiFi functionality of the model sold in July, it's pretty crap anyway. A $60 Marshmallow/4k/Android/Kodi box plugged into any of the HDMI ports and away ya go. Or the USB playback of the TV plays most files anyway.

    So the question then becomes, how early do we need to camp out at our local Aldi to pick one of these up.

      Can order online? Would be great if I don't have to delivery this big tv myself

      • pugsly on 14/09/2016 - 12:33

        I'm fairly certain you can't order from Aldi online.

  • joeno on 13/09/2016 - 22:04

    Question: is this better or worse than the smart tv version?

    Also on the 17th can we order midnight online?

    One thing I find surprising that hasn't been mentioned so far is that this panel has a refresh rate of 60hz.

    That means it isn't going to cope with motion real well.

    Given the size of the screen, that is a deal-breaker for me.

    People comparing this TV to screens 3x more expensive by other manufacturers should note that most decent TV's of this size have at least 100hz refresh rate.

    You will appreciate the faster refresh rate when you watch the cricket, NRL or AFL.

      Check the review http://whrl.pl/ReIh03 on WP. He reckons there was picture was smooth running foxtel

    Waiting for the Aldi brand HDR TVs to come out.

  • ozmu on 14/09/2016 - 16:48

    Someone on WP has actually bought one and reviewed here on WP http://whrl.pl/ReIh03

      This deal's model has not been released yet.

      Their WP report is being questioned based on that. Person posting has not responded in 23 hrs to questions of how they got a unit before it went on sale. Also no model number is mentioned. Some Aldi probably have old stock 65" UHD - people have been confused between same sized Bauhn models before.

      People are reporting on different models confusing matters, like earlier in this deal. That WP forum discusses many Bauhn UHD models dating back to Sept 2015. Unlikely Aldi is releasing stock early.

        I would be suspect too but his description seems to match the specs. Ah, we'll see how this plays out in a couple of days. I'm still looking forward to the actualy review of this model in question.
        Amazing how many 65 inch models by the same 'brand' are floating around.

          Aldi releases different models from different manufacturers with similar specs. Many different 65" UHD models have sold for at least a year. Confusingly, old & current sales stock may be on sale at same time in some stores, as in the link I posted above.

          The specs in the Deal Description are for the previous model. Specs from this model's manual are posted above with the main differences between the models in bold. Specs can seem similar between models.

          Unless people state the actual model number (from back of unit, box, or manual) - there is no way to know which they are discussing.

          Model numbers from TempoAustralia now end with the 4 digit release date, after a common model number for that device.
          All Bauhn 65" UHD models are ATVU65-…. So this ATVU65-0916, is A TV Uhd 65" - released Sept 2016.

          It has been a problem on WP, as people with a different model ask questions in a forum for a specific model. I request them to check which model they have before answering questions. People get annoyed that their post is questioned & insist it is the model in the forum, wasting others time when it is finally realised it is a different model. But most responders don't realise a different model is being discussed. I used to get a few requests for help with firmware updates - for wrong models, which would kill the unit.

          Still no response on WP to clarify if this deal's model is being discussed before release. It would be unusual if someone obtained a pre-release unit & didn't brag about it - so I'd say it's not this new model.

    Will no HDR and 200hz will affect picture quality a lot?

    • THICKnSLOW on 16/09/2016 - 11:12

      Depends if you're an optimist or a realist.

      Consider the sentence

      "A 65" UHD LED television for $800 with 1 year warranty"

      What would you expect from $800?

      • joeno on 16/09/2016 - 11:54

        I mean if HDR is a "must-have" and significantly increases image quality, then i'd rather wait a few weeks or months for an HDR version for a few hundred dollars more.

        • THICKnSLOW on 16/09/2016 - 12:11

          Ah I see. In that case I reckon you should wait.

          I would only buy this TV if I wanted a cheap 65" tv/display for mancave/garage/nursing home.

  • roofrestorer on 16/09/2016 - 10:54

    Can anyone please tell me the actual Box size so I can work out what car I can fit it into?

    Cheers

  • kingmoron on 16/09/2016 - 22:38

    What's a recommended time to get to the store for one of these ?
