    It's a shame Harvey Norman is selling it and not another retailer as I would have purchased.

      Agreed. In lockdown it would be impossible to get in contact with anyone from Harvey Norman's customer service if something goes wrong.

    I wonder if it is compatible with LG Magic Remote since it has WebOS? EKO TVs are also using WebOS and they come with LG Magic Remote.

    • iwearpants on 03/09/2021 - 15:33

      In the User Manual I saw the following line: "You can use the LG ThinQ app to control key TV functions…"

      So my bet is all WebOS TV's regardless of "manufacturer" are magic remote compatible.

    Interesting 3 years warranty: https://akai.com.au/product/50-inch-4k-uhd-led-lcd-smart-tv/…

        as @abs898 said it is not AU standard. You only get 1 year and have to pay for more years of you want.

      seriously? go and get a QLED UHD tv if you want to experience the games properly

      • kerim86 on 03/09/2021 - 14:46

        For a spare room mate.
        Already got a couple of QLED UHD’s

        • xyron on 03/09/2021 - 18:18

          Plug your Ps5 into one of your QLEDs then.

          • kerim86 on 03/09/2021 - 18:30

            @xyron: Lol thanks for the great idea. Ill try that. Didnt think about that one before. Or better yet ill yank a 85” off the wall and take to spare room.

            • xyron on 03/09/2021 - 18:32

              @kerim86: You must be so rich and successful to own a litany of obnoxiously expensive TVs. Query why you would even be thinking about a generic cheap TV in those circumstances.

              • kerim86 on 03/09/2021 - 18:41

                @xyron: Clearly not successful enough for a third one to out in the spare room lol

      buying a TV cheaper than your PS5 will give you that kind of an experience.

      We have ours hooked up to a huge, cheap Aldi 4K TV (I believe it was $800, 85"). For the majority of games it looks and plays great. FPS games are tricky to play because of the latency, worth considering if that's your jam.

    Its $395….you get what you pay for. It is a crap TV with a crap screen……answering all those who think the PS5 will look great on it.

    I wanted cheap TV for our granny flat so just bought this. I purchased it for WebOS and the 3 year warranty. Might as well have a cheap telly that'll be fixed if it goes bang in the 1st three years. I'll let you know how it is when I pick it up later today.

    • abs898 on 04/09/2021 - 11:40

      I am heading to pickup now, HV offered 4 years additional warranty for $80 on the phone compared to 2y online. Not sure if I want a 7 year warranty on this though.

  • abs898 on 04/09/2021 - 13:12

    Just picked it up. Seems pretty decent for $395. I paid $475 for 3 years + 4 years replacement warranty.

    • ozzyoi on 04/09/2021 - 15:28

      4 yrs replacement warranty. How did u get that pls.

      Online it only shows as 2 yrs right.

    Also update for everyone, turns out my TV is defective, there are 2 spots on the screen, one red and one green lol

    I have to take it back for replacement

  • jond72 on 04/09/2021 - 17:20

    Picked up my TV and everything is working fine. The webOS operating system is good, basically a stripped down version of my LG in the lounge and way better than the android in the bedroom (how does anyone use that OS day-to-day?) It is as quick as the much more expensive LG and it fires up nearly instantly. The picture is what you'd expect for a cheap TV. But after a bit of playing around with the settings I've achieved something reasonable. As something for occasional viewing I'm happy with it, esp with the 3 years warranty…just don't go expecting the quality of an expensive TV that you'd wanna use everyday. Oh, and the sound is okay too for a smallish room.

    • abs898 on 04/09/2021 - 17:32

      Yeah I am happy for what I paid minus the 2 tiny dots on the screen.

      Actually they appeared after I updated the OS but it doesn't look like an OS issue though.

      • ozbar on 05/09/2021 - 16:11

        So would you recommend buying this TV? 2 dots for a new TV is bad wont you agree?

    • ozbar on 05/09/2021 - 15:49

      Is the picture as good as TCL 4k? Jond72

      • abs898 on 05/09/2021 - 17:45

        All 4K TVs in this price range are using a similar panel, so I would say yes!

    How does one update apps on a tv running webOS ?

    • abs898 on 05/09/2021 - 15:00

      There's an update option in the app store.

  • ozbar on 05/09/2021 - 21:14

      I think it's a brand new TV so no reviews out there. I couldn't find anything on forums or youtube at all. But for $395…really, what are you expecting? Everything's much of a muchness in this price range.

      • abs898 on 06/09/2021 - 10:16

        I liked the TV for 395, picture was crisp and bright enough for my dark room. HV is sending a replacement tomorrow. If it wasn't for the defect , it's not a bad TV.
