  It’s not a smart TV but you can buy a Vodafone Android tv box for $72 and make it smart, that’s a really good android box.

  Give the tv a go, 60 day satisfaction guarantee so return if you don’t like it.

      I have both, the Vodafone one is a magnitude better, well worth $72.
      The cheap china boxes are terrible to be honest, and I have put up with them for a while, bought the Vodafone a few weeks before Xmas, wow what a difference. (Plus the cheapies can’t have the tv antenna input to the box for FTA tv)

        What app do you use for a browser on your VTV if you want to surf the internet? Chrome and the like are not available (due to the vtv being android tv spec)

  According to http://www.bauhn.com.au/product-listing/60-ultra-hd-led-lcd-… this might be the same model (ATV60UHD-0918) as last September.
  Can anyone that bought one comment on what is was like?
  In particular, was it a RGBW panel like the 50" in December?
  Can it do 4:4:4 even at 30 Hz?

    To answer myself, the ATV60UHD-0918 seems to be RGB - not the awful dithering RGBW of the ATV50UHD-1218. However, as a result it is rated a nearly 2x the annual kWh usage.
    My AMD video card claims the ATV60UHD will do RGB or 4:4:4 up to 30 Hz, and 4:2:0 at 60 Hz. Windows thinks the panel is 10-bit, but AMD reports 8-bit.
