    • Calvin27 on 23/02/2017 - 10:50

      Works great as a gaming monitor, I use ps4 controller to play my games on it and the input lag is not noticeable even with games like battlefield 1

        That's nice to know, thank you mate… Still in the process of researching the right components for my man cave and this would suit perfectly as I can hook up my PS4 and run an optical out from the TV as well

        • ThatsCheap on 23/02/2017 - 15:49

          I'm currently using it as a monitor and have been for over a month. Connected to my nVidia GTX 1070, Foxtel and Optus Mini (all via HDMI). Make sure you have a videocard that supports HDMI 2.0, as that is required to run the TV @ 4K @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4

          If you have an older videocard that does not have HDMI 2.0 support, then you'll be restricted to 30Hz @ 4K

          4K Gaming is very demanding though. My GTX 1070 struggles with most AAA titles to run at 60FPS, most of them dip below that.

          Oh and HDMI 2 & 3 on the TV I believe support HDMI 2.0 (so make sure you connect the PC to one of those two, just double check yourself if it's actually 2 & 3, I think it was). Most HDMI cables that have come out in the last few years will be fine to use, what's important is you connect the PC to the right port on the TV, and to a videocard that supports HDMI 2.0

          Great TV, if you want, I can share my settings with you. And get the 43" version; the 49" even though is an IPS Panel and has better viewing angles, the blacks are not as deep as they are on the 43" TV, which uses a VA Panel. Especially if you're sitting directly in front of it and using it as a monitor, I would say it's better than the 49". The TV does not have micro dimming, which is only available in the really expensive models, so you want the blacks to be deep enough for you to not notice them being grayish.

        • otter-raptor on 23/02/2017 - 21:01

          @POL1T1CS: thank u for the detailed post mate , I'm yet to build my PC, waiting for reviews on AMD Vega and ryzen .. well written reply , cheers

          @kamban:

          I recommend you go with both. Stay away from the GTX 1070 & 1080. nVidia are yet to fix several issues with regards to drivers when it comes to Pascal. We have been waiting for a long time and no fix, we're hoping that after the GTX 1080 Ti comes out in 6 days they might fix the issues with pascal or focus on them.

          As for Ryzen, wait for the reviews in a few days, but from the leaks, it looks like the best price/performance option out there in all 3 categories.

        • otter-raptor on 24/02/2017 - 13:33

          @POL1T1CS: Cool mate , I was thinking of the $460 one where we can overclock ourselves and pair it up with the Vega to there is a good pairing up between the both

          Fingers crossed they review and work well

        • ThatsCheap on 24/02/2017 - 13:40

          @kamban:

          If you don't overclock you'll be very happy with the reviews when they come out for Ryzen. But if you are an overclocker, there are little fears right now that these chips don't overclock well. At their price point they are great, but you still need to wait for motherboard prices to decrease or at least for mid-range and lower-range motherboards to get released. I think right now all that's available is high end motherboards. If you're waiting a few months, you can even wait on the TV too probably. Christmas time they dropped it to this price and I bought it, didn't think they'd drop it this low again so soon, but in a few months they might drop their prices even cheaper as the new models will likely be coming out.

          @POL1T1CS: Cheers mate, I think I can manage with the PS4 and the old 40 incher for a few more months and snag this TV with the PC .. I'm interested in the TV due to the VA panel which generally has good blacks and good response time ( low viewing angle , but doesn't matter to me )

      Input lag good, colour gamut good, sound is bad (but who cares for a monitor). Does 4k @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 (which you need)

      • Al Kider on 23/02/2017 - 13:33

        What is 4:4:4?

        • sane on 23/02/2017 - 21:36

          Colour and intensity information both at 4K resolution.

          Lesser numbers (eg 4:2:0) mean the colours and brightness are sampled at different frequencies, and from a practical standpoint mean text rendering suffers. The above site demonstrates it quite well on one of its pages.

      • otter-raptor on 23/02/2017 - 14:30

      I upgraded last year from a 32" Sony to the 55" X8500C — worth every dollar, having a big screen with good colour is so much better for watching 1080p content and playing games. I'd say take the plunge.

    • Al Kider on 23/02/2017 - 13:34

      Not trying to persuade you but these are some damn good TV's, whichever way you go.

    how good would the 43x8000 be for a current PS4 (and maybe PRO in the future?)

      Great value TV - truly amazing with the PS4 pro :)
      If you plan on sticking with the standard PS4 for years to come, I wouldn't say this is a vital purchase.
      Unless of course you use your TV for other purposes, then this a very good future proof TV imo

          @Evil-Elmo:

          it's not because of the Android OS, its because Sony chose to use a shit Mediatek processor that only scores 22,000 odd in Antutu. Even my Nexus Player is faster than that.

          And think of how abhorrent this is, considering their higher end Z9D TV also uses the same processor. Personally, the TV struggles to play 60fps YouTube videos smoothly while the Nexus Player does not.

          Nexus Player also does not lag while scrolling through the menus either. It;s the one downside about this Sony TV's

        • adrianhughes1998 on 23/02/2017 - 20:54

          @Gavman: you don't seem to know much about mobile processors. Firmware has nothing to do with it.

          And for reference the CPU and GPU are weaker than something you'd pay for in a cheap $100 android phone from the shops here in Oz.

          So you tell me, have a 4K TV that can barely keep the 4K going at times especially with high bitrate files. And an interface that due to the processor is laggy. You call that reasonable ?

        • Gavman on 23/02/2017 - 21:31

        • adrianhughes1998 on 23/02/2017 - 22:11

          @Gavman: I find that hard to believe. So you're saying you have the same model .And your saying you watch 4K content and 60fps 720p or above video?

        • adrianhughes1998 on 23/02/2017 - 23:25

          @Gavman: and considering most people on here have said the same thing that it's laggy, it's not just me being pedantic about frame rate drops and this and that. If you actually came through with a technical or sensical point, I would have respect.

          But I have zero respect considering the lack of knowledge you have on the matter.

        • neosin on 24/02/2017 - 20:41

          @adrianhughes1998:

          I watch 4k 60fps 0 lag, happy to post a video of it to youtube to prove you wrong too

          I have the 43"

          If you are referring to 4k high bitrate over usb then the lag is probably the usb stick. I can run 30MBPS HDR sample videos with 0 lag

          If you are referring to wifi then it is obvious you don't know much about REAL world wifi transfer speeds.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 24/02/2017 - 22:11

          @neosin: well we can both upload videos then. i have seen the processor in reviews and its not the best.

          And no, i am running Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 so yes i know my USB sticks and random/sequential read and write speeds. Yes, it runs 30MBps sample videos but that's a low-ish bitrate, i run movies usually in the 50-60MBps range. Try one of the LG sample videos at 80Mbps and then it'll be stut - stut- stuttering.

          As for Wifi, it has AC and i know yes it doesn't even run at its full potential speed no Wifi does, with Youtube's encoding its optimised better etc.

        • neosin on 24/02/2017 - 22:53

          Your video shows fast performance just navigating the home screen but I think the TV is slow going between TV, home screen, apps and HDMI inputs

          I haven't noticed any stuttering on content.

    the 43x8000 is a ripper of a TV, after some moderate calibration, its bang on with great colour and some decent motion for sports.
    sound isnt the best, so a small bluetooth speaker can fix that.

    • vinni9284 on 23/02/2017 - 11:54

      I have the UH770T which I would say it is similar to this TV less Dolby Vision. I have had it for about 3 months with no issues thus far and the resolution is great. It is not as bright as the Samsung SHD TV (KS8000) due it being an IPS screen however the negs will be as it has DSE (please google it - Not Dick Smith btw lol)

      Another note is that if you use this as a Monitor that is it doesn't support full 10-Bit colour bandwidth; 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (it does @ 30Hz 4:4:4). It is only 8-Bit colour at that res. Also to mention as I believe that it is 10-Bit (8-Bit native + 2-Bit dithering) HDR. The 55UH9x series support native 10-Bit.

          You're welcome.

          Please note that you are going to find negs on every TV throughout the research process.
          It really depends what you are going to use if for, Gaming, Watching movies, TV etc.

          I purchased it due to Gaming as it supports PC & XB1S HDR.
          That was the best TV for the money.

          The king of the hill is the OLED, however as you know you have to fork out nearly $3K for a 55" that comes with a paltry 1 year warranty.

          Cheers

          @vinni9284: This will be used for general watching Netflix, youtube, freeview and sometimes gaming. Rtings review said it had poor contrast and I cannot go past poor contrast. I am also after an OLED but LG has a veritable monoply and hence wont bring the prices down as much.

          Wouldnt our consumer laws make sure that the warranty would be atleast 2 years as opposed to one?

          @dealsucker:

          I would recommend the Samsung SUHD TV if you want picture clarity and all of the functions. The KS8000 was very popular late last year around Boxing day week (pre and post) as it was going for $1495 for a 55" (RRP $2495). So any model above the 8000 series will be good TV as I believe that these units have now been super-seeded. I am not sure what will be its replacement at this stage.

          The Samsung in my view had a better picture clarity than the LG and the contrast was way better (1000 nits). I have also heard from the retailer staff that the LG was more reliable (less units claimed per volume of sales). The major advantage of the LG is that is had the IPS and can be viewed from all angles.

          In relation to this thread, Sony TV has some good reviews however not really sure myself of the specifics. It's best to research it and not be only driven by the discounted stock. This model is last years' TV.

          The OLED in my view is not very reliable as I have seen one seller on Gumtree trying to flog their 55" LG off for top dollar with a Green line in the middle of the screen. Due to being a native LED screen, any anomaly (ie. dead or bright pixel) will really stand out.

          In my view that the ACL for a 55" $3K TV; you will have a good case however I would say that you have to fight for it to be fixed. You would expect a $3K TV to last over a year. I wouldn't waste $1 with their extended warranty junk. I would just wait until the OLED becomes mainstream and buy. Samsung will come into the picture as their older Samsung phones - Note 3 etc were already AMOLED.

          Cheers

          Prob more like 5 years for an expensive tv. We just had our almost-5-year-old dishwasher repaired free of charge. Apparently 5 years is deemed to be the reasonable problem free period (for that appliance at least).

        • dealsucker on 24/02/2017 - 10:14

          @Lps: Awesome. Thanks. I am going for a cheap arse TV for now… the Hisense Series 3 50inch. Will cough up for OLED once it becomes more affordable.

      'Magic Remote - Sold Separately'

      thegoodguys - as daft as ever.

      If they sold bikes, you'd need to buy the pedals separately.

      • Malarkey on 23/02/2017 - 15:17

        Sounds like a normal pushbike over $1,500

    I bought the 43X8000DS last 'Click Frenzy', not overly impressed although I've only used it a little bit so far.

    The picture looks crisp but when there's motion it looks pretty bad. I've changed the motion settings and tried the "Live Football" etc but I can still see ghosting (I think it's called that?). Ever since I bought a cheap TV I've become overly sensitive to the picture quality!

    Like I said, not played with it fully yet (still to hook up PS4 & PC for gaming) but certainly wouldn't have paid more than 1k max.

    Android can be a bit fiddly but is ok (for me).

    • Scab on 23/02/2017 - 12:44

      It's more than likely one of the picture "enhancement" settings.

      I have a 55X9300D and the motion handling is flawless, never experienced ghosting.
