Was after 75N7 but saw this insane deal at Harvey Norman with free delivery, so made decision on the spot. Add 4 years extra warranty $349 so total check out pierce is $3148 including delivery plus 4 years warranty. 60 months equal payment also available if you have GE go master card. Seems it’s instore offer so only available in castle hill store. Scheduled delivery on Monday (can’t believe they will do on Easter Monday) so OZbargained !!

      It upscales to 4k.

        Is the upscaling actually that good, though? Most I've seen are just not impressive at that pixel density.

          Upscaling is excellent from 1080p sources: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/sony-bravia-x850e-xbr-65x8…

          Ps - I didn't downvote your original comment.

        • NWLikeShopping on 31/03/2018 - 15:51

          @Animus Furandi: This entire convo is being downvoted, which is weird. In my experience, I simply haven't been impressed with normal FHD content displayed on large screens. I guess some people are either less picky about pixel density, or are better at configuring their TV's than others, or scaler technology has improved massively in the past year.

          I'm happy with 1080p at 40", not happy with it at 60" or higher. That's why I've still got a smaller panel — waiting for more of my video sources to go UHD to make the technology investment worthwhile (read: so that my investment is more longterm… I'll let TV technology evolve whilst delivery technology is also evolving, so when I get a larger UHD set, I'll have the latest and greatest picture technology.)

          @NWLikeShopping:
          Heard of 4k Blu-ray and Gaming Consoles?

          I wont say streaming cause that's not really 4k to that level though…

    • Dream-cast on 31/03/2018 - 16:27

      Because your requirements not equals other people's requirements. 4k content is readily available not just for the "lucky ones" who can stream it. 1080p upscaled does look good, plenty of reviews to demonstrate this. Also viewing distance and room size is a big reason to get a bigger tv.

      • NWLikeShopping on 31/03/2018 - 16:32

        Where's it available, mate? A few DVDs do not to me make for "readily available" content.

        If you will see, my comment was "Doesn't typical cable and HD look blurry on a larger panel?", not "It looks like crud!". Leaving the door open to say, "Maybe you haven't seen the latest models, because it no longer looks like crud," which no one said. They just chose to downvote what I feel is legit input more based in reality (sorry, there is NOT a lot of 4K content out there) than opinion, and any improvement in 1080p pq is extremely subjective and I admittedly have not seen it.

      I have similar thought until recent as:
      1 My house connected to NBN FTTP 100/40
      2 Much more 4K content release since last year, and all the new movies are 4K ready
      3 Netflix, Youtube, Xbox1 ….. all 4K..
      4 I am currently watching 120inch 1080P project from 3.5M so 75 inch is not a issue :)

      • Unclefugger on 31/03/2018 - 16:45

        FYI, my 4.5yr old Sony 65inch died the other day, and I have the 5yr Product Care on it. Have just logged a claim and I apparently get a "new for old" replacement. Will let you know how it goes.

        • jackyljj on 31/03/2018 - 17:00

          Thanks for sharing,. There you go ^_^ my 10 years old Sony lcd claimed twice. First time was 11 months and the second time was about 2 years so I don’t mind to pay a bit extra for a peace of mind

      • douglasac10 on 31/03/2018 - 17:00

        Under Australian consumer law, any product should last a reasonable length of time, e.g. a $3000 TV has a 1 year warranty, but dies after 18 months - a reasonable person would not expect a TV to last 18 months, and therefore the Consumer Law kicks in and the manufacturer\retailer is obliged to repair, replace or refund it depending on the severity of the problem.

        • ash2000 on 31/03/2018 - 18:20

          I suspect you'd probably be covered for closer to 3 years for a $3000 TV under the ACL provisions.

          I asked LG to repair a 40" TV that failed at 24 months citing my "statutory warranty" when the manufacturers warranty was only 12months. . They did.

      • noise36 on 31/03/2018 - 19:56

        As others have already stated Australian consumer law already gives you a free extended warranty well past the manufacturer's warranty.

        Someone posted a link with with actual case law showing 8 years lifespan isn't unreasonable.

      • Nom on 31/03/2018 - 20:38

        Because it's priced at one-eighth the price of the TV !!
        Harvey Norman would lose money if more than one in every eight sets they sold broke down out of warranty … but in reality, the failures outside the first year are likely to be at least an order of magnitude less.

        If they have to pay out on one in every 50 sales (and I would guess that's a pretty generous failure rate) then pricing the warranty at $349 is ridiculous - it's 95% pure profit for Harvey.

  • solidussnake on 31/03/2018 - 16:24

    A. Why did you buy an extended warranty when ACL provides this ?
    B. You have uploaded a ticket from JB Hifi for a Samsung 6 Series at $2798.
    C. Is it actually ticketed in that Harvey Store for $2798 or did someone accidentally put it through at that price ?

    • jackyljj on 31/03/2018 - 16:38

      A: Correct me if I am wrong, ACL only cover 2 year so I extend to 5 year
      B wrong pic updated, re-upload again.
      C. it's one day only sale.

          @jackyljj:
          Yeah, you're paying for quick resolution. You'll be right under ACL but there will be an extended period without a TV while you raise the complaint and await the resolution.

          @Diji1: yes they can, unless you bought directly from them.

          The retailer who sold you the product or service cannot refuse to help you by sending you to the manufacturer or importer. You can approach the manufacturer or importer directly, however, you will only be entitled to recover costs from them, which include an amount for reduction in the product’s value and in some cases compensation for damages or loss. You cannot demand a repair, replacement or refund from the manufacturer.

      My personal experience with extended warranty via Harvey Norman was my 3 year old samsung died. I had a 5 year extended warranty. The warranty mob arranged collection, it was deemed a major fault. They then rang Samsung and said its your problem not ours. Next thing I knew samsung was arranging a refund or offering a replacment. The warranty I Purchased was effectively useless in my opinion.. Really only covered the cost of the collection and inspection. I won't be buying it in future.

    I think you should get at least 5+ years of warranty under consumer law? (For this amount of a TV)

      only if Sony simply refuse it and you have to deal with them via ACCC

      • Diji1 on 31/03/2018 - 17:12

        Pretty sure you don't go through ACCC to apply ACL, you go through Consumer Affairs.

        • timmylol on 31/03/2018 - 19:33

          For this type of case, VCAT/NCAT/QCAT/other equivalent tribunals have original jurisdiction for individual disputes.

          If it's a systemic problem, ACCC and/or Consumer Affairs may step in and prosecute the offending manufacturer in the public's interest.

    • ugoagogo on 31/03/2018 - 16:47

      Im pretty sure the Harvey extended cover is replacement , ACL is optional repair/replace up to the manufacturer

      Unless its a major fault which generally means it will take an unreasonable time to fix , 30+ days

          Told them a NSW store had it at $2799 on the shelf on saturday and asked what the best price they could do is. The guy ummed and ahhed a little and then said he can do it at $2750. That store was out of stock so had to cancel that order but then called up another store and they matched the price and also gave me the free delivery and table top installation which they had on offer

          The one I phone first told me to go buy it there and when I said that was NSW and I'm in Melbourne and asked for the best price they could do is he came back with $2750 … didn't quite expect that but they didn't have stock so had to cancel that eventually and called up another store who not only offered it to me at that price but gave me the free delivery which the first store wasn't offering
