I am looking at getting a TV by Christmas.

I was thinking of getting either this Samsung or this LG. I was leaning towards the LG.

Right now JB have this TEAC for a pretty great price. $448 down from $898. This sale ends tomorrow.

Obviously the TEAC won't come close to the other two, but the price difference is tempting.
I plan to use the TV for FHD content as well as UHD (Blu ray and Netflix). I would be gaming on it occasionally so input lag might be an important factor.

Should I wait for one of the other TVs to go down in price for Black Friday/Christmas or jump on this deal while it's here?

EDIT: There is this Kogan TV for a similar price to the TEAC.

    Have you considered getting a 4K tv from Kogan 43" smart Tv for only $389 + delivery and it's using an LG panel? Plus you can earn Qantas points on your purchase if you are a point collector.

    Hope that helps, Josh.

      I'll take a look at it. Thanks :)

      After postage, the TEAC comes to a slightly lower price than the Kogan. Do you think the Kogan TV would still be a better purchase?

        The TEAC Tv does include Dolby Vision technology which means the tv would deliver greater HDR content if that makes a difference for you, however, it is to be noted it is not a difference you would've noticed until I pointed it out.
        There is not a very noticeable difference between the TVs because of the TEAC being $450 off plus no shipping if you collect. I think go for the TEAC.

    The LG tv will be on Black Friday.
    Prices won't be that good until boxing day.

    I just bought the Nu7100 55" for $890~ (ebay will be much cheaper then JB. Appliancesonline or video-pro store)

    Highly recommended.

    Also have a Kogan 55" curved 4k. Highly recommended.

    If you aren't the type to inspect each pixel with a magnify glass. I'd just go with a Kogan or other cheap branded 4K TV.

    To put it simply, my kids who do look at the detail. One prefers the Samsung one prefers the Kogan (for gaming)

    OP, do you have the space for a 55" TV?
    The reason why I ask is that the price for a 55" is similar to the 43" TV's
    Obviously you are getting more TV bang for buck and furthermore, you can get a better bargain for 55" as they are more abundant.
    I mean $1K for a 43" TV is a little ludicrous tbh.

    1 - IMO Kogan, Teac, JVC, Bauhn, Soniq are only good for computer monitor as the images are washed out a little and there are reliability issues hence avoid.
    2 - Samsung is better however there are reports regarding a Pseudo HDR format on earlier models.
    3 - LG TV's are good however suffer from DSE (pls google it) and has an IPS monitor.

    I would opt for an LG as they are more abundant hence can bargain more, fast enough for gaming, image is good generally and on angles (IPS) however has DSE.

    Cheers

      I'm pretty sure 55" would be too big, I'd have to remeasure. Thanks for the help

    • geekfox on 20/11/2018 - 08:16

      Depth and height shouldn't be an issue, but I've only got 85cm to fit the stand and 115cm to fit the width of the tv.

    Unless you plan to sit 1 metre from the TV I'd try and find a 1080p TV that is bigger. You won't notice 4k whilst sitting further away
