Help Buying 40" TV (at Harvey Norman)

mgrogan on 16/02/2017 - 18:24

We are buying for the first in eons, a 40" (size limitation) TV but really are limited to a Harvey Norman purchase (as living in country NSW, it is the closest electrical store to us so we can see a TV in the shop):
HN 40" TV:

What would be the best in picture quality?

Hisense 40" Series 3 Ultra HD LED LCD Smart TV $695

Panasonic 40" 4K Ultra HD LED LCD Smart TV $746

Samsung 40" Series 6 Ultra HD LED LCD Smart TV $895

Thanks for any advice
:)

    I know Hisense takes a long time to start up.

    Any reason you want UHD at that size? This has some better features but it's a little larger,

      Just the space limitations, where a TV could fit in the lounge room

    I'd say the Samsung would be the pick of the bunch (the Hisense series 3 isn't their much lauded 7000 series). The Samsung still has HDR and decent image quality, though for close to $1000, you could pick up a 55 inch model (though I'm aware of your space limitations).

    Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $700 for a 40 inch these days, so the Hisense wins the price contest, but the Samsung will be the best image quality. That said I have no experience with Panasonics - they seem to fly under the radar these days.

    All the cheap UHD TVs I've seen have looked totally washed out in the showroom beside similarly priced Full HD.

    Is there a reason why you wouldn't buy the same TV online? I have been stung with Harvey Norman too many times and have sworn to never give a cent to them. Their after care service is appalling.

      Just so I can see the TVs working, so maybe I'll feel obliged to buy on the spot

    I bought a changhong 40" from a dick smith store (wipes away tear) 3 years ago for $315. very good TV. great picture. sound is very decent (haven't needed a sound bar).

    my point? inexpensive tv's are out there. I could have delivered for $40 or so.
