awsesome deal, bought one thanks.
Shipping is $50 not $50 as noted.Small hiccup when I specified Chadstone store to pick up from, apparently they went out of stock before I committed, so I picked the next least-inconvenient option (Northland) and all went thru.
Reckon you'll need to hurry on this deal
Shipping is $50 not $50 as noted.
So $50?
No, not $50 as noted.
OK I'll put it down to excitement. When I first looked at ebay, the shipping said $5 (honest I tells ya), until I got to the checkout it changed to $50.14…..which is what is says now on the main listing
Specs?
30hz really? Well thx
Where are you getting 30Hz from??
@spaceflight: You're mixing up hz with frames per second. And the frames made up by the TV are due to motion interpolation, not the hz of the panel. They are 3 different things.
You're mixing up hz with frames per second
No I'm not, it has the same meaning, hz is one cycle per second. So in this case one frame per second. When I said 25hz that's what I meant.
@spaceflight:
Your understanding is incorrect. Hz and fps are totally independent of each other other. Hz is how often the screen refreshes itself and has nothing to do with fps which is the amount of frames recorded per second in the the source video. Your comment that most things are filmed in 25hz is just plain incorrect. Nothing is shot at 25hz, PAL video is 25fps/50hz and this is what you are confusing yourself with. 1080p Bluray for instance is rarely released in anything other than 23.976fps/60hz. A screen running at 25hz would be unwatchable due to judder.Your understanding is incorrect. Hz and fps are totally independent of each other other
No you havent understood what Hz means.
Hertz is a measure of cycles per second.
If you blink 10 times in a second you are blinking at 10hz, your eyelids are moving at 20hz (once down and once up)100 frames per second is 100hz
Nothing is shot at 25hz, PAL video is 25fps/50hz
PAL video is a derivative of the power used which operates at 50hz.
NTSC is used in countries with a power frequency of 60hzPAL operates at 25hz.
This means every second you get 25 brand new frames - 25p (progressive)You can achieve a refresh rate of 50hz (though still sending frames at the rate of 25hz) which is 50i (interlaced)
The difference is that every second line changes, so every frame only 50% of the content shown is new.
This means that 50 lines (fields) on the screen change every second so 50hz is achieved from a 25hz broadcast (only 25 frames per second are sent to the TV)1080p Bluray for instance is rarely released in anything other than 23.976fps/60hz
Film/movies/blueray is completely different and uses 24p - frame rate of 24hz because that's what the cameras they use capture.
You won't watch it at 24p.
Each 24p frame will be used to make two 50i framesThis is why movies have that characteristic motion, especially if you are used to NTSC content
A screen running at 25hz would be unwatchable due to judder.
Hate to break it to you but thats exactly what we have.
That's exactly what you get watching a progressive scan - 720p, 1080p etcYou could do your own reading, here is a starting point https://wolfcrow.com/blog/understanding-terminology-progress…
People should probably do what your username says
Nothing I said has been related to gaming. Everything I have said has been about using it as a TV to watch TV content.
No you havent understood what Hz means.
You could do your own reading
Maybe you should learn what the difference between FPS and Hz is before you reply.
As I have said Hz is a measure of cycles per second.
30fps is the same thing as 30hz…
Or if it makes you feel better you could say frames at 30hzYes
Your article even infers it….
if your refresh rate is 60Hz, VSync will cap your framerate to 60 FPS
Frames PER SECOND
Refresh rate PER SECONDCan both be expressed in hz
If your car wheel turns at 300 times per second it is turning at 300 hz
@spaceflight: I never knew a TV has Vsync.

@spaceflight:
I don't need to do my own reading, I have 15 years experience in the professional graphic design and video editing industry. Let me assure you that you are the one who is confused.Much of what you have written there is incorrect, contradictory (you claim PAL is 50HZ is due to power which is correct then go on to claim PAL is still 25HZ) and you continually mix up HZ with Frames. You do not refer to a video source as HZ. Hertz is simply how many times something fits into a second, it is a measurement. Hertz is OK when referring to a signal such as a refresh rate. Video is frames, when you edit video, you work with frames, not HZ.
PAL operates at 25hz.
No it does not. 50HZ. It's in the spec for gods sake.
Then you ramble on for a bit longer about more stuff you openly demonstrate that you don't understand… and you mix up HZ and Frames some more.
Hate to break it to you but that's exactly what we have.
Sigh… No TV screen, anywhere, runs at 25HZ. None. So argue all you like. They all run at 50HZ or more.
…and back to your original comment
Things are only filmed in 25hz, anything above that is made up by the tv and not even necessarily displayed
Unfortunately no matter how much you try and pull yourself out of your hole, this is still wrong. Not only are you telling them that 25HZ is enough when they thought the refresh rate may be 30HZ - and neither 25HZ or 30 HZ exist as refresh rates - but all TVs are 50HZ or more. All TVs.
For some reason there's always one guy who pipes up who thinks they know something everyone else doesn't, chiming in with the "Hey, 100HZ is crap, its just fake! But its always because they don't understand the difference between a panel with 100HZ/120HZ refresh rate, so the screen updates itself twice as fast, and a video processing chip like Motionflow that creates extra frames to give the perception of better motion. Unfortunately you didn't even get the 50HZ bit right.
People should probably do what your username says
Not only are you wrong, but you start with the personal attacks?
You are just spewing up articles you have read that you do not understand and it makes you look like a bit of a fool to people who work with video for a living.and you continually mix up HZ with Frames
That's the thing.
I know the difference between both.As you said "Hertz is simply how many times something fits into a second"
So 100 frames in one second can be expressed as 100hz, which is all I have done.
Yes you might edit 10 frames so you are not editing hz and that's where the difference in terminology makes a difference.We can leave it at that.
but you start with the personal attacks?
Sorry. I'm literally on my phone in a recovery bed in a decent amount of pain right now.
A xHz display displays x frames or fields per second.
He is right in that for a progressive scanning display its fps and refresh rate are identical. That's the case for almost all displays on sale.And you are also confusing source fps with display fps. The source will always be up converted to display fps = Hz.
PAL is 50 fields per second so NO you are not always dealing with frames.You might be right there's no pure 25Hz display,but I know for a fact 30Hz and 24Hz (or x1000/1001) displays exist. I know because I have one, and it also does 25Hz.
Sorry. I'm literally on my phone in a recovery bed in a decent amount of pain right now.
I would be on my phone on Ozbargain in hospital too… I think I'm addicted…
I hope you get better soon.Hi @levizx: not having a go, but:
A xHz display displays x frames or fields per second.
He is right in that for a progressive scanning display its fps and refresh rate are identical. That's the case for almost all displays on sale.I'm not really sure what your argument is here. No one is arguing against source fps being converted (put simply) to the refresh rate of the TV if that's what you mean.
And you are also confusing source fps with display fps.
Where?
The source will always be up converted to display fps = Hz.
The frames of the source format are repeated in a certain order according to the refresh rate of the TV to display smoothly. Like how 1080p 24fps bluray uses 3:2 pulldown for 60hz. I'm not arguing this?
PAL is 50 fields per second so NO you are not always dealing with frames.
PAL is 25 frames per second displayed as 50 fields per second interlaced so it displays smoothly on 50hz.
Again I'm not really sure what your argument is or what part of what I have written that you are taking issue with.You might be right there's no pure 25Hz display,but I know for a fact 30Hz and 24Hz (or x1000/1001) displays exist. I know because I have one, and it also does 25Hz.
Consumers can't and don't buy TVs that refresh at less than 50hz. Some newer TVs have 24p mode but they do not run at 24hz as it would be unwatchable due to extreme stuttering, they run at custom rates in 24p mode like 96hz as it is divisible by 24. I'm not sure if you are saying you own a newer TV that has 24p mode or a monitor that can be set to custom hertz.
It's not as simple as Googling the model number.
I had to dig through the manual to find the framerate/hertz. It's 60.
(Source then search native res)
Really tempted, but my current TV is fine…
So was mine but this is OzBargain 🤷🏻♂️
Not HDR? I mean it says HDR but is this that thing where HDR10 is the only real HDR?
Samsung likes pretending things are HDR when they aren't.
I still don’t quite get how to distinguish these tvs that say they are HDR but aren’t…
Saw it was in stock at my nearest Good Guys then bought it.
Here is a comprehensive review (for the 58" version but should be comparable) for those still considering buying.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/mu6100That’s not the right TV. It’s confusing, but in the US, the MU6300 is the equivalent of the MU6100 in Australia. So if looking at rtings, look at the review for the MU6300.
after using this rtings.com site it was always anoyying trying to match up the model numbers. How do you know what model is called what overseas?
The Aus MU6100 also has local dimming while the reviewed MU6300 doesn't.
Oh really, thanks for the correction.
Hi folks im considering getting a ps4 pro will the graphics be displayed in full 4k hdr? Is the frame rate quick enough?i also can't find the power consumption anywhere, any advice would be greatful. Thanks
better get hisense n7 if for ps4 pro
who cares? its $600
Don't even need another bloody TV but faaar out what a deal!
It's a shame it's not 5 inches bigger 😐………
That’s what she said…
Thats what my EX wife said 😐…
Size does not matter as long as you know how to move your tv the right way. I hit the bait, picking it up tomorrow
Does the code just go in the gift cards, vouchers box at the bottom? All I get is "This code can't be applied to your order". The code didn't work for me then I accidentally processed with out the 20% off :(
That's right, make sure you've spelt it correctly ant not left any spaces. Just worked for me :)
Hmmm still not working for me. I have messaged them to see if they will apply the discount, so fingers crossed.
guys this samsung mu6100 or tcl p20us or tcl c2us ?
its a 60hz
10 bit
hdri dont know why some peeps are saying its not hdr , its only 30 hz ?? where are they getting their info ????
Where did you read about it being HDR10? Or 60Hz?
I cant find HDR10 but i saw Motion Rate as 100, which i think is 100Hz?

Awesome tv
Read users comments in other deals on this TV. They report it shows Hdr10 available but it does nothing due to other limitations!
Anyone know how this compares to the Hisense 50N4? -$476 after the eBay code.
https://m.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Hisense-50N4-50-126cm-FHD-LED-…Hisense TV is 1080p while the samsung is 4k. THat's a big-ass difference.
Thanks, didn't realise that, but not a deal breaker. I don't have any 4k content, so no upscaling is probably a good thing.
4k content is increasingly becoming available.
I would highly recommend against buying anything non-4k , as in couple of years you will probably really regret it.
I guess free to air tv will become 4k in a few years. And upscaling can work very well in improving picture for 1080i content onto 4k screen.I guess free to air tv will become 4k in a few years.
With most channels still SD and the bitrates for their 'HD' channels are shockingly low, I wouldn't hold your breath on that. They're all about quantity over quality.
@Porthos:
True . I haven't watched free to air via antenna in a while actually. Haven't even plugged in antenna after living current property for over a year lol.
With that in mind, 'free-to-air' content will probably be available (good content in quantity and quality) via data streaming, before it becomes available through the old antenna. The infrastructure upgrade required would probably be much cheaper for tv stations to go online 4k.
There is already youtube for 4k free, not sure of how good that is though.@ozzpete: Yeah it’s one of those things that you’d think by now they’d offer good quality HD streaming online.. sadly, that isn’t the case and they’re wondering why people are going to Netflix/Stan in droves. I think if the original plan for the NBN had gone through (FTTP) that they could have started transmitting the FTA signals through one of the 4 UNI-D ports. How exactly that would have happened I’m not sure, and don’t even know if it would have been financially viable but I do remember reading about it as a use for the FTTP NBN when it was first floated years ago.
Either way, if FTA want to last in Australia they really need to lift their game!
Still waiting for the days where Australian TV will be broadcasted in resolutions higher than 1080p to justify buying a 4K TV. I’ll probably be waiting for a while then!
This is why I love Netflix.
True!
Anyone having trouble applying the PICK20 code? I've been trying but been told the code cannot be applied to the order so could not get the 20% discount.
I've had no problems applying the coupon code, but despite choosing different payment methods have not been able to actually purchase for this. I've been getting error 5000002 or 70049 70084 depending on the payment option.
According to eBay Chat support, there is an "ongoing site issue and has been already raised to the technical team and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon"
No estimated time to repair at this point.
Gave up waiting for that issue to be fixed.
Available stock in local stores was disappearing fast with only 1 store left (25km round trip & not sure would fit in my sedan). Now no local stores have stock.Tried code with delivered stock - worked.
$50 extra but better than possibly xxx missing out on $153 discount & extra issues like driving in rain.
Discussion in old TGG deals that contacting store with stock for pickup can mean the refund of delivery charge. Notified that my local store (no stock) arranges delivery. But may not work with ebay purchase.
Hi which can you please link to the thread that you are referring to in regards to getting a refund on delivery fees if you are picking up from the store that will suppy you the tv?
I am having a hard time trying to get the store to refund me the delivery fee as they claim they cant change online orderSorry so long ago is just a memory.
EBay purchases are more difficult to change (as stated in confirmation email - may need to cancel & get store to price match without delivery) than simple online orders with store (which was what was discussed in old deal).
Too much trouble for me to bother with, & no local stock left.
@Infidel:
Ok. Just that i drive past that store everyday so thought might as well pick it up from there but they wont refund the delivery fees@bargainfinder:
Was worth a try. Thanks for the feedback that it doesn't work. My local TGG is walking distance.
Just received notice of delay in my delivery😞
So I just went on the ebay page and found its product code. UA50MU6100WXXY
Both the Samsung site and Bing Lee site say it's 100hz. I can't find 60 anywhere.
Great deal.
If it does 50 it will also do 60.
AU/EU TVs advertise 50hz because that's the standard we've been using, but it will also support the 60hz of NTSC regions.
Just bought for 768$ from the recent JB-HIFI deal. Sucks to be an ozbargainer sometimes.
Benefit from purchasing wth TGG
if prices drop within 30 days, you get 120% back of difference.
Only in store, not on eBay!
The Good Guys 30 day Price Guarantee does not apply to purchases made on The Good Guys ebay store. (from TGG on ebay order processing email)Also, TGG PG does not apply to price reduction at TGG, only competitors advertised prices. (Recent "The Checkout" FU-Tube case.)
I did price match at store. Paid using discounted gift card.
Final price to me was 578
Lucky you, staff at my local stores have been trained to refuse by saying "we cannot price match because ebay pays the difference"
Opinions on how this stacks up to the Hisense N6?
How much better would this be than the viano 50” 4K tv I bought from bigw a few months back for $350?
Wow! Only $350? Very good deal
I bought 49" smart 4k tv from Kogan for $420shipped.. but yours is much better deal
Why do I get negged for asking a question?
Just want some people thoughts I've read on other forums is this pretty much on par with the Hisense N7?
Choice rates this TV at 72% with HD picture quality at 70% which is pretty average. The N7 was rated 77% with HD picture quality at 85%.
link please? :)
you'll need a subscription to access the link
I ordered this and just got a call saying that it's not on stock and I will not get this for a month or so. Just cancelled the order.
I'm starting to wonder if I should just go to jb hi fi and get it..
If you need a new TV then go for it, but waiting 1 month isn't so bad.
Tried to order but crashes now at ebay checkout :(
That's probably why! I opted for C&C. Thanks.
Nope, still got the "error" message when trying to use the PICK20 code. I wonder why. I've tried to order it several times over the laptop/ipad/iphone but still can't.
Thanks, saw this late morning and decided to get one for the man-cave. Picked it up this afternoon and just about to unbox… I believe I got the last one in Dandenong.
just bought for click and collect in ballarat. full discount. no ebay issues at all
Happy owner of this TV since 6 hours ago. It has HDR which looks good with and without it. I personally think the picture is better without. I can tell it defo not 50hz, might be 60hz or over. There is some sort of engine running but doesn't say anything in the manual. The only downside is the remot with 5 buttons on it. It has voice commands too which are too slow. I decided to use my old samsung tv remote
Does it have 2 remotes? and what is the country of origin?
No. Just one remote. Volume and program up/down they are like joystick buttons which u click up or down. One home button with 4 directional movement and voice control button which is way too slow to operate. Made in Vietnam
