    It's a good price, noting that it is not a smart TV which is not a problem as many people use Chromecast, Apple TV, or the likes anyway.
    The 50in 4K is excellent value if you want one for spare room https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07SYNF6MF?th=1. Taking into account the benchmark shipping cost to WA is $180 for large screen TVs (Bing Lee, Appliance Central), it is just a mere $155 ;-)

    • FW190 on 17/12/2019 - 20:39

      iirc back in the day, audiophiles used to rave about Aiwa, but now looks like they make cheap TVs for the likes of Big-W?

    • parkies on 17/12/2019 - 20:59

      Heaps of those 80's/90's brands disappeared under their original owners and were then just resurrected and used by China.

        Yes and no. Yes the brand is not the original famed AIWA of the 60s-90s (hey they made the first cassette deck player in Japan!). No, it not owned by Chinese, the brand is owned by different companies in different regions of the world for their own products (wiki).

      I clicked on the link just to look at that aiwa symbol again and refresh some memories… :)

      I still miss their hifi audio systems/3-5 CD changers. Sounded beautiful and looked fabulous with those fancy lights. Oh well, good old days…

      • Buy2Much on 18/12/2019 - 02:30
        +4

        Not to mention their desirable portable cassette players (walkman). The brand was like the Adidas of audio equipment in their hey days…. when every 5th car on the road was a Holden… aahhh those good old days….

        • FW190 on 18/12/2019 - 21:46
          +2

          their walkman are usually a big chunk more expensive their competitors as well.

          back in the day, I saved for months to buy a base model Aiwa walkman, and always drool over their top of the line models whenever I walked pass an audio shop……….

          according to wikipedia, they went broke in the 90s, got brought out by Sony, and eventually got sold off again, how the mighty has fallen……..

    Had the 55 inch model.. developed panel colour issues within 6 months.. green was a mustard colour..

    had tech come out n diagnosed as faulty..

    Super cheap tv that didn't last a year..

      • honkas on 18/12/2019 - 08:31
        +1

        Yes.. no issues or hassles with the warranty process.. very smooth..

        Opted not for direct replacement but for store credit..

        • Jackson on 19/12/2019 - 00:17

          Was there an option to repair?

          • Oofy Doofy on 20/12/2019 - 08:32

            @Jackson: They always give you that option, but many opt for credit and then buy a new TV.

              @Oofy Doofy: Anecdotally I know a TV tech who's opinion is that once a TV has been in for repair, the odds of a second failure diminish greatly compared with a new TV. I guess with a new TV you get a new warranty though so if it didn't happen early on in the warranty that might buy some piece of mind.

                @Jackson: Happened to me once, was a no brainer to upgrade because it took me to 1080p LED, versus my borked 720p plasma.

        Nothing wrong with a bit of mustard.

    I would prefer a smaller Sony or Samsung that will last 10 to 20 years. You get what you pay for. Our Soniq died after two years.

      Luck of the draw sometimes. I had a flash Panasonic that lasted about a week past it's 1 year warranty. The Soniq that I replaced it with has been going fine for about 6 years now.

    • rogerm22 on 17/12/2019 - 21:15

      My parents had a Samsung that died after just a few years of light usage. I've got two cheap Chinese TVs (Kogan and DSE branded), that still work fine after many years of heavy usage. The Kogan TV is 13 years old and the DSE is at least 8 years old.

      Of course, in general you can't expect a brand name TV to last longer than a cheap "no brand" Chinese TV. But this is not always the case, as my experience shows.

        Although Kogan started in 2006 in his garage. I don’t think he was selling TVs yet. I call BS on that

        Similar experience with a Samsung, died after 18months, got replacement, that died within 2 years, got a third replacement.
        (Good thing was it went from 55" to 58" to 65")

        Meanwhile the Kogan, that admittingly has not seen a lot of use is still going and purchased before.

        YMMV

    • truetypezk on 17/12/2019 - 23:32

      If you prefer a long lasting TV and don't really care about fancy features, you can get a decommissioned digital signage/professional display/commercial display for next to nothing. They are designed to work 24*7 for years and their remaining life will probably outlast yours for home usage.
      I've got a Samsung 46 inch LCD one from 10 years ago and it never missed a bit despite numerous unprotected moves. Paid abt $100 for it at that time.

        This sounds great! Where do they sell these?

    • payless69 on 19/12/2019 - 14:12

      Sony bought the Aiwa brand and are on a downhill run trying to stem the losses. Ask father Christmas to make any brand last 20 years!

      • rogerm22 on 19/12/2019 - 17:44

        They purchased it in 2003, but discontinued making Aiwa products in 2006.

          Thanks for update. I used to get info from Sony but it was a waste of time. Back in 1982 I had an Aiwa car radio and it was great. Nowadays most home electronics gear is made by contract makers in Chine or any other cheap country they usually get subsidies to create employment. Brands are usually isolated from defunct companies. Some you will see again are HMV, Grundig, Blaupunkt, Telefunken etc.

    • PainToad on 23/12/2019 - 18:15

      10 to 20 years

      Who on earth wants to be using 10 to 20 year old tech?

        It's a TV screen. Aesthetics aside, who cares unless aspect ratios change or holographic images become a thing. Ditto a full-frame 36+MP digital camera. a Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck or the like, high end audiophile CD/super audio CD components. Don't write-off tech simply because it's "old".

    For anyone interested I looked at the manual. Couldn't find a game mode. Nevermind specs on latency etc.
    It does have old fashioned RCA (banana plug) connectors - both component and composite if someone's trying to hook up older gear. And it seems to have a 3.5mm line out for cheap speakers like the z623 people like.

  • Jaques Alot on 18/12/2019 - 08:15

    I got another throwback name from the 90s, Akai last year from Harvey Norman. Supposedly 4k and smart, but picture looks morec like 720 to me. Certainly notably worse pic quality than my old 55" 1080 only LG.
    I know this posted TV doesn't have any smart features built in, but for others talking about them on cheap brands, just be aware that any cheapies particularly if using Android o.s that they can be unusable.
    E.g my 2018 Akai mentioned above, advertised Android smart TV is useless. Running Android 4.4, no apps, including stuff you want like Youtube or Netflix will actually install on this antique o.s.
    Its just a spare room tv for me thats lucky to be used once a month, so no issue for me, but if it was important, just a heads up.

    • 93vector on 18/12/2019 - 08:32

      Nothing a green sticker would not fix. TV's do not consume they do convert. Outcome is dead brain cells and a bit of added temperature to the room.
