It's back again. For those who missed out on this deal, here's a second chance.

Available NSW/VIC/QLD only.

I picked one up last month and am very happy for the price. Sound is predictably average so you'll want to hook up some speakers. Watching the NRL GF on 9HD was fantastic.

Full specs from the Bauhn website here.

Also worth noting is that it's really light. I'm an average sized guy and had no issues carrying it myself.

Standard Aldi 60 day money back guarantee and 12 month warranty apply. No smart/android functionality but we've all got a few Chromecasts by now which does the job well.

Solid Gizmodo review here. Following his suggestions certainly make it a better viewing experience.

    We got one last week and I have to say it is absolutely excellent - Amazing quality for the price.
    Once the backlight has been adjusted using the service menu - it has excellent blacks and colour.
    4k content looks great and 1080p upscales very well (we use Apple TV 4).

    The panel in ours is Samsung - and it seems that most tend to be.

    At some point in the next decade if/when we ever get a useable NBN, this will be great for 4k Netflix too…..!

    Assuming this is the same model (09/16) then I highly, highly recommend!

      I have NBN and Netflix looks top notch, though I was under the impression it was still only streaming FHD?

        You have to upgrade your account to a higher tier to get the 4K content (also 4K HDR content)

          It also only works on a specific set of TVs, and I doubt this is one of them. It doesn't even work on a PC.

          On a panel TV like this, from conventional viewing distances, you'd never notice the difference (1080p v 4k).

        • pacificstorm on 21/10/2016 - 15:32

          1080 vs 4K content, you won't notice any difference. Both format looks good and are indistinguishable from each other unless you eyeball them.

          Therefore Netflix with HD access ($11.99) is more than sufficient.

    • markmo on 07/10/2016 - 18:46

      What setting did you have for the backlight? I've only changed settings in the standard menu so far.

      • drmac on 07/10/2016 - 18:57
        +2

        For the backlight (service menu) I went for 55 as I could decide between 50 and 60.
        I also adjusted down the brightness to 45 and bumped up the contrast to 60 and turned noise reduction off (just in the normal menu)

        You can get to service menu by pressing 'Menu' and then 1147 - but be careful not to mess with too much..!

        I could image if I moved this to a different room I would probably adjust the settings a bit so - it will require a bit of trail and error until you find what works.

          This is what mates and family are for. Best bet is to talk the deal up so much that one of your mates wants one, explain he has to get there early, then once he's decided to pull the trigger, ask him to grab an extra one ;-)

          I purchased on last sale. Got there 5 minutes after they opened and about 8 of them heading out the door. Asked the person at the counter out of curiosity how many were left after only seeing 2 left on the pallet. They said they had about 8 pallets full out the back. So I would still check Saturday afternoon.

        any advice for someone who has never been to Aldi? It would kinda be embarrassing to get there early but then not know where to go for the TV. Do they have some designated kind of 'tech' section or something like that?

        • jason07 on 08/10/2016 - 04:06

          Last time they just had them out the back. They knew they were gonna get swamped so they just directed people to the store room and we grabbed them directly from there.

          Line up then go straight to the check out counter when the door is open…
          Mention that you want to purchase the item then pay for it..
          Then walk calmly to where the boxes are to collect…
          Avoid racing other people to collect the TV first, rookie move…

        • zulus on 08/10/2016 - 09:20
          +3

          @pitiek: assuming that other people will race to the TVs and potentially physically grab all the stock how does your move guarantee that you will get one? (I understand that you will have the receipt, but no physical item yet) I imagine someone who grabbed the TVs without paying first will have to release one in this case? Or you are saying that you will get one from the stock that is not yet on the shop floor?

        • pitiek on 08/10/2016 - 14:19

          @zulus: Have done this more than 5 times.. They will always stock at the back which aren't on display.

    • BradH13 on 07/10/2016 - 20:45

      SD content looks garbage regardless of price on a 4K panel.

      I've got a $3500 65inch Sony and standard def is unwatchable and the Sony's arguably have the best upscaling engine in the industry, so I can only imagine what a cheapie would look like.

      That being said, if you're basing your purchase of a 4K TV on what SD looks like - you're probably not really serious about buying a new TV in the first place. So long as SD displays - that's good enough for me.

      I'm heavily thinking of buying one of these for the bedroom. $799 is a steal.

        I watch mainly FTA TV.. some SD and HD. Kids usually watch ABC2 which I think is SD.

        Good thing about my plasma is that SD and HD still look very good..

        I still prefer my Plasma to many LCD/LED TV.. of course it can't do 4K, but there's not much 4K contents, can't wait for NBN.
