      Is that a policy specific to this item?

      The store rep I talked to called it 90 day change of mind, and when I read up on that back home the conditions for that are clear: unused items only in original packaging.

  • team teri on 27/08/2020 - 19:42

    And the winner is: my wallet. For now.

    Thanks for the post. Made me aware that 75'' can be had for <$1k.

    On doing some research I saw that Aldi had a 75'' last December for $999. Good reviews for picture and sound. Was "smart", but I don't think Android TV. Not sure why I missed it back then.

    Of course Aldi will have a better deal this year. My bet: $899 with Android TV. I'll wait for that. The 60 day no question asked return policy wins out over having something now and taking the risk of being stuck with an item I don't like.

    Yeah we know size doesn't matter.. (Right).. lol!
    But I think any "reputable" brand 55/65 would be far better than this. Sure it's 75".. But I'm betting the picture quality/backlighting is very very average…

    • cdkane on 28/08/2020 - 09:16

      If you have a big room with a decent amount of light and plan on sitting at a far distance it’s probably ok but dark room movie watching is probably a bit average.

          big w gc is the same as a wish gc, so you can use it at woolies, dan murphys, bws, caltex woolies, etc

          • inherentchoice on 30/08/2020 - 13:07

              @inherentchoice: Even if it's a Big W branded gift card it's still a Wish gc. But… If you are going to be refunded, they usually refund into a "Returns Card" and not back into your Big W gc which limits the use to just Big W and Woolies.

      As above, the width is 183cm and the height is 110cm. It was a very tight fit in a Honda CRV. It had to be laid flat (despite all of the warnings on the box) with the driver's seat as close to the steering wheel as possible (thankfully, my girlfriend is only 5'1" and managed OK).

          I haven't had a chance to properly test it at this stage. I've literally just unboxed it, attached the stands, and completed the initial setup. A couple of things that have stood out thus far is that the wireless doesn't support 5GHz networks (there is ethernet, but unsure if it's 100Mbit or 1Gbit) and there is a noticeable vertical line in the middle of the screen at wider viewing angles (likely due to two panels being stitched together).

          • team teri on 29/08/2020 - 13:44
            +2

            @Ben1985: That's interesting with the WiFi. The users manual lists 802.11 ac, which is 5GHz.

            In case you're unhappy and want to take it back, that alone should be enough to apply ACL and get a full refund.

            Seems good value for money as well.

          • Ben1985 on 30/08/2020 - 16:39
            +5

            @Ben1985: Just to clarify, as per the instruction manual, 5GHz wireless-AC is supported. However, it was unable to find the network when it was broadcasting on channel 149, but switching to channel 36 within the router settings resolved this. Additionally, the vertical line in the middle of the screen is only visible on dark backgrounds at a wide viewing angle within close proximity (less than 2ft). In my opinion, the picture quality is really good. As expected, the integrated speakers lack bass, but at ~70% volume there was no distortion (I didn't test any louder due to being in a confined space). The soundbar (Bauhn ASBWS-0719) is a significant improvement though. I don't know the SoC specifications, but it has 4.4/4.6GB storage space available, and the user interface and 4K streaming are responsive. Ultimately, everyone has different expectations, but I'm very happy with the purchase thus far and it's hard to imagine there is a better 75" TV at a similar price point. If anyone has any questions, let me know.

    Got a van from Car Next Door with $15 signup bonus, and picked this up today. Absolutely stoked with it. Remote works great, picture incredible, sounds good but seamlessly hooked up to existing soundbar. 100hz would have been nice, but for $1k I’m happy. Google assistant seems to struggle when playing 4K Netflix but I can’t blame it too much.

    My 4yr old Panasonic failed (got a $500 cheque) and the Teckworks guy said that all the TVs are pretty much the same now - 2 days before this deal came up.

    Only problem was that it doesn’t fit on the existing tv cabinet, so the soundbar has some books on it as an extension!

    Looking forward to Doom when the mrs goes to bed.

    Question about ACCC.

    I purchased a Hisense Fridge from Harvey Norman with 3 years warranty and it failed one week before 2 years from the dater of purchase. It was definitely covered under warranty.
    HN asked me to call Hisense Support and I was on hold for more than 3 hours a few times. I complained again to HN and they contacted Hisense directly via their sales channel and Hisense called the next day and did some trouble shooting on the phone and told me that they will arrange a technician. It's more than 48 hours but technician has not called or come.

    It has been 6 days since my fridge failed and I am without a fridge since then and I also had to throw away a lot of food.

    I think HN should replace my fridge.

    Any suggestions? What do you thing is a reasonable resolution to my issue.

      I reckon easily worth the extra. The frameless design is prettier too.

      What I have to decide: wait for the 75'' from this deal to come back in stock or snap up this 65'' QLED instead. No 75'' QLED on the eko website, so not an option to wait for that.

            @mauricem: It's totally unprecedented!

            I am confused, what did you get the 65" or the 75" or both?

            How is the picture quality, android performance, what does SD TV look like on it?

            Thanks.
