SALE

First time poster.

The Hisense 55N7 has now dropped to below $1000 for the first time since December that I can see on Ozbargain. Not as cheap as the $907.25 Bing Lee deal in December, but better than the $1195 being asked for at many other stores. The TV is a catalogue special for $1095, and until 7am Tuesday 6th February 2018 you can use the code SALE to get another 10% off for a final total of $985.50.

Other TVs are also work with the 10% off SALE code, including the Hisense 50N7 as well as other brands.

Edit - you can also try and pricematch the TV for $900 using Hirokuro's reciept here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/7m8nsnc30rw3d5b/20180204_215623.jp…

Edit 2 - Some Hisense 55N7 owners have reported some issues with their settings not saving and other issues. Hisense release a firmware upgrade a few days ago which has reportadly fixed some of these issues. Apparently there are improvements to 4K resolution as well. There's a thread on whirlpool about it here - http://whrl.pl/Re5rVV

    Been waiting for one of these, thanks OP. I don't suppse anyone knows the width between the stands? I can't find it in the specs unfortunately.

    • Ge3ks on 05/02/2018 - 00:11

    Fantastic OP, I've been looking for the 55N7 for ages but as I'm stranded on this no-bing-lee island this is awesome. Ordered one, TGG web said they even had stock locally which is a first. Thanks a million.

    Funnily enough I was talking to a mate just before saying that this is what I want but can't get it without $300 shipping or otherwise inflated prices. Happy days.

    I bought the Hisense 55N7 for $900 flat (+$35 in postage) by simply asking for a deal at JB the other day.

    Although this is still a good price for this model as it's normally $1195.

        Pretty much. I simply mentioned the cheapest price for this tv listed previously on Ozbargai n and the saleaman basically told me the lowest he could go.

        In saying this, I also previously asked a sales rep at a different jb store and was quoted $1000. Others woulnt even budge from the $1195 price tag besides offering free delivery. I guess it depends on who you get at the time.

    I looked at the 55N7 in store today at HVN and the free to air looked jittery/delayed, was a bit put off by that.

      I checked out the B7 OLED in store and it was playing FTA junk. It also looked terrible, so I wouldn't be too worried.

        You kind of want your TV to be able to handle FTA well, it is a bit of a worry that new TVs don't do it well. It is pretty random finding one that does!

          Free to air is low quality trash, do many people even care? It's been over 7 years since I've even had my TV connected to an aerial.

        • decr on 04/02/2018 - 22:05

          @G3ck0: Haha that reminds me that the only time there's anything aerial on the telly is when having guests with small kids over and the "just go watch some cartoons or something" comment comes out. Yeah, err, ok, umm, source TV, bah you bloody do it. At least my kids know better as they get more quality content from other sources.

        • imurgod on 05/02/2018 - 11:05

          @G3ck0: I respectfully disagree. FTA is actually pretty decent now. A lot has improved in 7 years. Of course, all of the boring "reality" TV is there (probably less than pay TV though), but there's some great channels now. For example, 7 Flix is good, SBS is outstanding and there are a lot more great channels. Then there's the apps.

          The main problem with FTA is reality TV and cricket. Both of which are super boring.

        • G3ck0 on 05/02/2018 - 15:26

    Am I wrong to think the 65N5 is a pretty good deal for $985.50?
    https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/hisense-65-inches164cm-uhd-le…

    • djmatt24 on 05/02/2018 - 09:27

      I'd be interested to know what people think of the difference too. 10" extra for the same price, all I can see different is that the bigger one is an N5 and the smaller is an N7. I'm guessing big improvements have been made between the two series?

      • dazweeja on 05/02/2018 - 12:16

        N5 and N7 are both in the 2017 series but the N7 and above are ULED models: Ultra Wide Colour Gamut, Ultra Local Dimming, Ultra 4K Resolution and Ultra Smooth Motion Rate. 55N7 and 65N7 both have Samsung panels too.

        • AlienC on 06/02/2018 - 04:40

          So what's the upgrade paying almost 20% more for?

          +1

          @AlienC:

          N5 and N6 are UHD, but not ULED. They have cheaper 50Hz panels lacking some of the ULED features like wide colour gamut. I think you have to see them side-by-side to decide for yourself whether the difference in picture quality is worth the extra bucks.

        • AlienC on 06/02/2018 - 21:53

          @dazweeja: so just more gamut for wide color? Anything else like higher refresh rate or lower input lag or chroma subsampling 4:4:4 for pc monitor usage.

  • Rail Rider95 on 04/02/2018 - 23:06

    I'd say the 50" N6 at $715 is a pretty good deal.

        I walked in wanting to buy a different model, but they didn't have it in stock so the salesman said he do this one for $1050.

    @Zachs..Nope TGG are a pack of lying low life's..I bought this at last deal and before it was even delivered they had dropped the price $150 below the special price, when I asked about the 30 day price match they advised as I bought it through their eBay site there is no price guarantee.
    I told them that it was linked to their online company catalogue….. was told that I should have read the T&C at the bottom of the catalogue which is so small I cant magnify it to a readable size.
    Be very careful of buying from TGG ..they are misleading scum.

    • serpserpserp on 05/02/2018 - 19:40

        @serp….I couldnt read the T&C it was too blurred when magnified and when I spoke to sales team why my tv was not delivered and asked they still didn't tell me …so yes Im pissed at TGG.

        Also when I rang and told the person who wouldn't give his name at Dandenong store regarding the loss of motion control function he sighed loudly many times with the Yeah yeah response, told me it was a cheap end tv and will get tech to ring me…he never got back to me either ..surprise surprise.

  • Birdseye on 05/02/2018 - 08:44

    Had this TV for a few months and it's certainly good for the price, though not without it's drawbacks. You need to turn off smooth motion to get rid of the Soap Opera Effect (as you do with most TVs), but for some reason it seems to come back whenever I turn the TV on, and I have to go to settings, switch smooth motion back on, then off again for it to go away. YMMV.

    Also while the picture and colour are generally very good, it does struggle a bit with HDR content. Sunny scenes in Horizon Zero Dawn have a tendency to blow out completely, and reds and greens can also become uneven and overexposed (not quite the right term probably) when watching sources like the 4k Bluray of Planet Earth 2.

    In its favour, the picture is generally very sharp, motion is generally well handled and I find the OS easy to use. Guess I'm just spoilt by having a KS8000 in the lounge room, which is just 20 or 30% better in every way.

    • gofer on 05/02/2018 - 09:00
      +1

      That's because each input has it's own settings, and past that, each picture mode has it's own settings. So it's a web of default settings you need to configure for each input and picture mode.

      I've had the TV for about 3 months. Overall very decent. Some nitpicks: the OS I find easy but navigation with the remote slow. TV takes just a little too long to start up. Sound is a bit tinny. DLNA media player is spotty. Overall I would probably shop around if given the opportunity for to buy again, but I can't say I have a great relative knowledge of other TVs in it's price range.

      • pongky on 05/02/2018 - 09:33

        That really helps a lot, thanks for sharing. What about the smart features, do you think it will handle youtube and 4k netflix? Since it's not android based I would think that it's just hisense proprietary software running it.

        • Birdseye on 05/02/2018 - 12:31

          Handles youtube and 4k netflix no problems. HDR hasn't kicked in when watching Youtube though so that might be an app issue, works fine with Netflix HDR.
          One other thing to note is that while it has a built in media player (so you can just plug a hard drive in to the usb port) it can't play 4k content though this input. So i needed to buy a 4k blu ray player to act as a media player for 4k files.

        • Xizor on 05/02/2018 - 18:50

          @Birdseye: Are you sure? My older series 7 plays 4k via USB and even over the built in Plex (though i've not tried much with plex since i got a shield).

        • pongky on 06/02/2018 - 09:25

          This has HDR too? wow what a great value, thanks for your response

        • Birdseye on 06/02/2018 - 13:53

          @Xizor: I'll double check tonight but yeah, that's my experience

      • Birdseye on 05/02/2018 - 12:33

        Yeah that's what I had thought, except it does it when it's the same input and picture mode as used before the TV is switched off. And 'Ultra Smooth Motion' shows as being switched off, but is actually activated (clear from watching a show) until I turn it on, then off again.

        Kind of in the same boat - reasonably happy with the purchase for the price but thinking an extra 200-300 more might have got me something substantially better.

    • turbodude on 05/02/2018 - 13:43

      The Smooth Motion setting not being remembered is a bug. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2608487
      "Hi guys,
      A few days ago I found a workaround to my 65N7 failing to load the correct configuration for Ultra Smooth Motion on startup from standby mode. The following day I called Hisense support to tell them about the workaround, which causes other issues, and to restate that it is very important to me that they fix the problem. I got the impression that the guys I have spoken to at Hisense are onboard and will pursue this issue on our behalf.
      The workaround definitely fixes the Ultra Smooth Motion bug on my TV, but 2 downsides I have noticed are:
      - it seems to take a few more seconds for the TV to boot up and be fully operational.
      - the EPG is not fully loaded when you turn the TV on. i.e. If you turned the TV off while watching Channel 9, only Channel 9's various broadcasts will be loaded in the EPG when you turn it back on.
      Choose your poison. If you'd rather press almost 30 buttons to fix the USM issue, you need to nothing. If you'd like to fix the USM issue, but lose the fully loaded EPG and have a slightly slower bootup time for the TV, then perform the following steps that Hisense support emailed to me on the day that I contacted them to tell them of this workaround:
      1. Press the COG WHEEL
      2. Press OK on SETTINGS
      3. Press OK on SOUND
      4. Press OK on ADVANCED AUDIO SETTINGS
      5. Highlight BALANCE ensuring it’s set to 0
      6. Key in the numbers 1-9-6-9
      7. The letter M will appear on the top left corner
      8. Push the RIGHT ARROW to get to the DESIGN menu
      9. Scroll down to FASTBOOT and turn it OFF
      10. Turn the TV OFF and ON to clear the M"

      This fixed it on mine (N6 and N7).

      • Birdseye on 06/02/2018 - 13:55

        Thanks Turbodude! I don't even have it hooked up for FTA so will definitely give this a go

      • Birdseye on 12/02/2018 - 12:53

        Can confirm this fixed the settings saving issue on mine (after a couple of false starts). Takes ages but worth it. Might just be expectation bias but I think the picture looks a little better too

          I haven't used it enough yet to rate it - I got a bit ahead of myself with eBaying my TVs and ended up without one for the kids so mostly it's been kids movies, etc. That said, so far so good. Personally I'd find it far too big for monitor usage.

      I went to HN on last Friday, they quoted me 43" N6 for $660. I did not buy it as I think I can get it cheaper.

        Could definitely get it cheaper from JB with cash.

    Pros:
    I have one of these and it handles 4K picture quality superbly. Sound is also surprisingly good.

    Cons:
    There is a tiny bit of input lag that I notice when using an android tv box, so might not be ideal if you want to use it for games.

    No stores in QLD seem to have stock, so can only get it delivered.

      Just had another look and there is 1 store that has it in stock now and it just happens to be my local store. Happy Days :)

    I've had a 55N7 since Xmas. Replaced a Samsung 55" that was giving a "negative" photo type image after 5 years of fantastic use (but since buying the 55N7 and moving the Samsung to another room and back onto its stand, its been working fine since - hmmm!)

    The 55N7 is decent for the price. Picture quality is good. I think I read somewhere the N7 model uses a Samsung panel anyway (but not 100% sure on that). Fine for FTA here. Sound is crappy and tinny compared to the Samsung it replaced. Would suggest at very least a soundbar or surround sound system (has ARC for easy connection to sound system).

    Will these type of deals be available for laybys?

    Does anyone know if 55N7 will fit at the back of a honda civic with the box?
