  Bought 65in EKO tv ~ feb 2021.
  
  Turned off by itself mid watch ~ jun 2022, no response to anyting.
  
  Emailed Ayonz, they said tough luck out of warranty, I mentioned ACL, they said tough luck out of warranty.
  
  Contacted Big W returns, they gave following options:
  
  Take to local service desk
  
  Package yourself and they will arange pickup.
  
  Chose option 1, took it in, no box and full refund was issued.
  
  Its painfull buisness carting around 65 inch tv's, can't imagine 70 is much fun. But a lot of tv for the money obviously.

      to be clear, it works better than my Sony. the problem is either android or netflix and i'm guessing there might be a ram issue or something. the software is actually sony tv software. pretty common for apps to bug out. i work with ipads all day and i'm constantly closing apps and resetting ipads due to them glitching out. attach a fire stick and you'd be golden

  I got a EKO 58" QLED, December 2020. Picture random stuff up every second line from 2/3 of the screen down (no picture settings have any effect).

  - b-radicool on 16/08/2022 - 12:17
    
    I'd suggestresetting back to stock OS, disable the Wifi (so that it doesn't update), and plugging in a CCWGTV or similar.
    
    You can almost entirely replace the native OS with a CCWGTV, since you can turn the TV on/off with the CCWGTV remote.

        @Torzz: I have a firestick but i presume its the same thing. It isn't so much that the remote works with the TV, its that the TV accepts CEC.
        
        Same thing with my amp, If i use the tv control (or the firestick) it uses CEC to tell the amp to turn down.

      Yep the update specifically to android tv where it changes from just the apps to apps and suggestions and promo ads slows it down. My suggestion is to not worry about letting it install updates install wolf launcher and force it to be the launcher instead. Much smoother experience

  Can download the manual or contact customer support here https://www.eko-entertainment.com.au/k700usg-70inch-4k-ultra…
  
  A quick scan of the first page of manual and the tech specs and it’s not mention. Gonna be a LCD with low zone count FALD or edge lit. As for IPS/VA, whatever is cheapest would be my guess.
  
  At this size/price though, this is more a bang for buck purchase above any considerations of the panel tech.

      For a lot of cheap tvs you need to factor in a soundbar.
      
      I would recommend getting a tv and having a little extra in your budget for a cheap soundbar in case you end up needing once its in the house.
      
      Though soundbars can get quite expensive, if you can wait till one is on sale thats good.

I had the 65" for almost two years now and it's been pretty good for the price, not perfect but I don't really have anything else to compare it with. I only used it with Nvidia Shield and for gaming though so I'm not too sure how the Eko software is. But the picture quality is decent for the price.

  Agree.
  
  I've had the 65" since December 2019 and haven't had any major issues.
  
  I have, however, disabled the native OS by not connecting the TV to my Wifi. Instead, I run everything via a CCWGTV.
  
  Prior to this, I had a few problems with apps freezing (when running off the TV OS).

I've got the 75" with webOS, it's actually a decent family TV. I'd expect the Android OS version to be laggy, nothing a cheap fire stick or similar can't fix. Overall it's great bang for buck.

One day I'll save up and get a nicer TV with superior IQ and refresh but when 95% of what's shown on this TV is Bluey and Paw Patrol then i'm sticking to the entry levels :P

Had the 65 for 6mo. Runs fine, but looks average at best. Average colours, poor viewing angles, subtle but noticeable ghosting.

If you're not watching sport, or if it's not your primary tv you'll probably tolerate it but watching fast moving sports is irritating.

Have had EKO brand 65" 4K QLED TV for about 18 months. "Smart TV" stuff is useless. Chucked a Chromecast with Google TV in it and it works great. I only use the Chromecast remote. It turns the Chromecast and the TV on and off. Goes straight to the Chromecast when it turns on. Happy with it for $700.

This thing chews some juice according to energy ratings. That being said, you can probably turn the backlight down significantly and save yourself 50%+ on power bill.

Also, they have a new version with Dolby Vision. Which chews even more power. But guess it needs to for the Dolby Vision.

        @eug: I have the 65in and the picture quality is completely fine. I've never had any problems with vertical banding, contrast or motion making me dizzy. I have a switch to direct my series X to either the TV or my 144hz gaming monitor so it isnt like i dont have experience with other screens. The reviews for them when i bought were all positive about picture quality, negative about inbuilt speakers (who cares). Complaints i have seen since all seem to be either it broke and they got their money back or the OS gets slow and needs to be reset occasionally (i use a firestick 4k anyway)
        
        Before i bought it the display was running Blu-ray side by side with a sony. Without knowing which was which i dont think i could have picked which was 3+ times the price. A massive step up from the previous non HDR tvs we had had.
        
        Sure an OLED would be better, 100Hz would be better but for most content its great. I have no idea how much a 100+Hz OLED would have cost a couple of years ago. I suspect way more than i would be willing to pay.
- Franc-T on 16/08/2022 - 18:53
  
  You buy this for $700 or a premium brand for 3x the price.
  
  If it goes wrong in the first year you get warranty.
  If it goes wrong beyond that, buy another $700 tv which may have updated specs by the time the original fails and your still better off.
  
  Anecdotally I have had plenty of tvs and apart from the refurbs I bought from Soniq (2/3 that were not refurbed even close to properly) I only ever had one flatscreen fail….a Expensive Samsung Plasma lol. With cheap tv's it is roll of the dice, but our 55" EKO tv is a gem.

    What normally fails? We talking doesn't turn on at all, or backlight dies or screen goes all weird?
    
    I have had a remote die before, but I bought 10 IR leds for $1 off eBay and that fixed it.
funkybits on 16/08/2022 - 18:42

Add me to the list of those who had an EKO tv and it failed. Sucked having to take a 75' back to the store for a refund. As it's such a pain to return a big TV I don't reckon it's worth the punt based on BIgW staff themselves saying how many they get back.

I purchased a 65" EKO QLED in December 2020 for $699 and its working fine. On Average I have to power cycle one a month but I don't care as I got good use of it and the picture quality is reasonable. I was looking at paying 3 times the price of EKO to buy a Samsung at that time so I am completely satisfied.
mrdevil on 16/08/2022 - 21:01

I bought the EKO 75" 4K Ultra HD Android 10 TV back in Feb 2021 for $999 and haven't had any issues with it… for the price I've been stoked at how well it turned out. That one replaced a 60" FFALCON TV from JB Hi-fi which had the backlight fail on it just over 12 months after purchasing. I also bought my Mum a 55" EKO as well a couple of years ago and have had no issues with that one either. I guess like most Chinese generic-brand crap it's hit and miss depending on the model / batch / way the wind is blowing.
Ben1985 on 16/08/2022 - 21:07

I purchased the 75" model almost two years ago. I've been quite happy with the picture quality and it's been a good companion to the PS5. However, I hadn't extensively used the integrated Android TV functionality (other than initially configuring it, logging into the NetFlix application, etc.). It wasn't until my girlfriend moved in that I realised how terrible the integration is (by proxy of her constantly complaining about it being unresponsive, etc.).

I don't know if the root cause is Android TV being bloated, the SoC not (or barely) meeting the minimum hardware requirements, or a combination of the two, but it's unusable. I've performed basic troubleshooting by power cycling, rebooting Android TV, clearing the application and system cache, etc. Whilst it would briefly work fine, eventually it'd become unresponsive again (which did make me wonder if it was thermal throttling). I'm planning on factory resetting Android TV as well, but I'm not optimistic it'll resolve the issues.

Anyway, overall I think it's been a bargain (since it's still mostly operational… for now), but I figured I'd share my experience to warn potential purchasers.

  Ours would do that but just needed to be power cycled. A couple of times over 2-3 years i did a full reset (setup copies accounts from the phone anyway so its quick to do).
  
  I did actually get retroarch working on the OS but it wasnt fast.
  
  Just went to a firestick and everything works great now and i dont use the inbuilt OS for anything.

My MIL bought a EKO 65" and we had to take it back in a week.

Wouldnt turn on, I had a really good look at it and used my old phone to turn it on (has IR) But I realise that its the actual software/hardware thats the problem, JUNK.

For anyone else who has a slow android experience on this tv my suggestion is either

1) if you have the version that has just the apps disable automatic updates and uninstall the update for the android tv home app. You'll just have the apps view not the suggestions junk and promotion ads.

2) what i find much better is what I do for the fire tv stick and install wolf launcher and disable the android tv launcher.

Much scooter much more responsive overall.

        @brocky2006: Stand looks different as well. Past ones have been the exact same model. Same supplier, same remote, same firmware updates.
        
        Problem with ALDI is it's really hard to know what if you are getting something good or bad rebadged. Some of their bikes were polygon which were decent, some others are rubbish.
