  • bondiben on 04/04/2022 - 18:38

    great price - and it's a step up from the X80J

    • Danstar on 04/04/2022 - 18:39

      Correct. I was gonna get this one; but the 90j was too good to pass up

      • bondiben on 04/04/2022 - 18:41

        Can you explain how to get the edu price?

        • Danstar on 04/04/2022 - 18:41

          Need someone in school / uni

          • bondiben on 04/04/2022 - 18:43

            @Danstar: Does the account need to be created with the edu email? the link is showing $2695, and not pointing to an edu store?

  • dreamzz on 04/04/2022 - 19:02

    i logged in with edu.au account but its showing full price??

    • Danstar on 04/04/2022 - 19:06

      Did you activate after signing up?

        i tried a few times to verify , but i am not getting any emails to verify.

          same here .. try different edu email

        • Mikedrop89 on 04/04/2022 - 19:24

          Took a while for me. About an hour or so.

        • atlas on 04/04/2022 - 19:26

          Yeah annoyingly takes a while to come through and is only valid for 30 minutes

        • freefall101 on 04/04/2022 - 20:17

          Mine is telling me my account is already signed up, but if I try do a password reset I don't get the email.

          I'm assuming the emails are being blocked somewhere further up the chain as spam :(

  • dreamzz on 04/04/2022 - 19:13

    how much is it for the 85"

    Nothing I do will send the activation email.

  • Mikedrop89 on 04/04/2022 - 19:20

    Is this full array like X90J and is full array
    worth the extra few hundred on 75 inch model.

    Since when does a remote control get listed as a Bonus with a TV?

    I don't care how many smart app control whatevers it has - I don't want to have to use my phone, if my TV came without a remote I'd return it as not fit for purpose.
    Stashing my phone away is the only way to get off screen time and be less distracted by emails and messages coming in

    • Hunter80 on 04/04/2022 - 19:44

      Ok

    • Danstar on 04/04/2022 - 19:44

      I assumed it came with a basic remote, and the "bonus" remote was a fancier one

    • 2023 on 04/04/2022 - 19:45

      You still get a remote with the TV, this is an ADDITIONAL remote.

      • MrFrugalSpend on 04/04/2022 - 19:47
        -5

        Well in that case, it becomes - why!?
        In a world of chip shortages and plastic excess Sony wants to give out an additional remote because - they have too many of them? they break all the time? Or its better?
        If its better, why not include it to start with, the cost difference is probably cents on a usually $1500+ TV

          How outrageous

    • bondiben on 04/04/2022 - 19:50

      The tv comes with a remote.
      This is a second remote, that has Voice Remote Control

        my entry level samsung came with voice - looks like it costs $2 to make too.
        Stupid decision not to include as standard instead of redundant bonus, Sony

  • dover4 on 04/04/2022 - 19:44

    My daughters school email is .education.nsw.gov.au so it wont work.
    Or is there a work around?

    • iSauce on 04/04/2022 - 20:35

      She can use her .det.nsw.edu.au email too I think,
      Try logging into outlook.

  • johnwinkle on 04/04/2022 - 19:45

    tryna to understand what a school kid needs a 75 inch tv for thats its exclusive for them

    • MrFrugalSpend on 04/04/2022 - 19:48

      4K homework monitor, or maybe a graphic design, marketing / media, or gaming student?

    Are we going to have a separate post for every single Sony 2021 TV model/size on the education store? All of it should have been grouped into the initial post earlier today.

    • Look Up on 04/04/2022 - 22:51
      +1

      Separate posts are good for visibility and OzBargain always leads the way. Sony have started something that could spectacularly backfire over the next week or so. Retailers are going to put Sony on blast over the timing and implementation of this pricing. Then there are the large numbers of recent complaints about dodgy deliveries, broken panels and generally poor feedback that you wouldn't expect for Sony

  • guidedlight on 04/04/2022 - 19:53

    What's the 43" price?

    • Maglia Nera on 04/04/2022 - 20:22

    Great price. I used Amex 500-75 offer with a 2% ShopBack cashback. Ended up at about $1571.
    Thanks

      no, only x90j or x95j

      Sigh. Maybe you need to go back to school to learn a few things.

  • discobean on 05/04/2022 - 00:41

    Press request to verify, sends an email, click the link, and just sends me to the request to verify page, repeat…

    Is it just me or is Sony auth terrible for just about everything, same goes for Microsoft.

    • Okisub on 05/04/2022 - 07:17

      Did you end up having success? I seem to be having the same problem.

    • Danstar on 05/04/2022 - 07:21

      You using Safari browser by any chance ? I found that didn't work for me, used Chrome and it worked.

  • sn00kered on 05/04/2022 - 07:20

    Im nervous now Sony will knock back all these orders. Feels like they accidentally applied a staff discount to the edu store… 40% off retail seems Unheard of?

  • Martin Bhasin on 05/04/2022 - 08:18

    Tried 2 different EDU emails. Still not getting the verification email. Any suggestions?

    • Watanabe1995 on 05/04/2022 - 11:37

      Yes, me too.
      One uni,one Tafe.

  • TheCandyMan2020 on 05/04/2022 - 08:32

    That is super sweet pricing. I wish they had made an 85" version.

  • ESEMCE on 05/04/2022 - 08:39

    At the 65" size, it's well worth the extra $120 to bump up to the x90J

    • npnp on 05/04/2022 - 10:05
      +1

      Strangely enough, X85 has wide colour gamut whereas X90 doesn't. Also the the term full array LED is kind of misleading because the local dimming areas are pretty large. Just have a look at rtings review with video showing local dimming for both X85 and X90 before making a decision. For wide colour gamut along I'd choose X85. Being VA panels, both have excellent contrast but very poor viewing angles.

      • JoseJoseJose on 05/04/2022 - 20:26

        My man (probably man lol.. can't guess) knows what he's on about.. local dimming in nothing below flagship LEDs is worth paying money for.. anything between flagship and no local dimming is a blob of white.

        it then makes the conversation between 90J having better brightness for HDR and better image processing when displaying 10bit colour
        vs the better non-local dimming contrast ratio and black uniformity (display unit difference in mind) and having a wider colour gamut (by like 1%.. that's all that was needed from the 90J to score.. 1%more! lol in the rec.2020 gamut, according to rting's testing ofc)

    Has anyone else verified their account and still only see full pricing?

  • waade395 on 05/04/2022 - 10:18

    I bought the KD65X85J off Sony's ebay store and honestly really disappointed with the Android TV experience. The volume controls are really laggy to the point you can't hold down the button and need to press it every 0.5 seconds to actually move the volume.

    The android TV home screen also lags. And the Sony X85J has one of the fastest CPU's on the market….

  • nadan on 05/04/2022 - 13:21

    I am still not receiving the verification email and it is being looked into. What sort of discount are you seeing on cameras if someone can please check it out? Like say Sony A7IV.

    • atlas on 05/04/2022 - 13:37

      See if your uni has spam protection. Mine were getting delayed/held by the system.

      • nadan on 05/04/2022 - 14:04

        Yes they are looking into it.

  • Martin Bhasin on 05/04/2022 - 15:05

    any one made any progress with the orders. Mine is still processing since yesterday :(

  • xuwang on 09/04/2022 - 16:28

    is the 85inche still available?

    • Danstar on 09/04/2022 - 16:52

      No more student pricing on TVs. sony have said this apparently

      • Pleasure Paulie on 11/04/2022 - 15:00

        How will students afford their 7k TVs though?
