JVC is now a generic OEM brand. Same as Blaunpunkt, Polaroid etc.
Sold anywhere cheap - ie Big W.
Fun fact - ask to use the remote on a display and push a button. All TV's (of all the brands) will all change at the same time. All the same OEM TV.
Im more shocked TVSN is still around!
Wow, it's 144hz native, that's still rare at this price point isn't it?
Hisense use 144hz panels in their budget miniled now - https://www.retravision.com.au/hisense-65inch-u6qau-pro-uled…
Considering there are only a handful of miniled panel makers around, it's a good chance they've gotten some hisense panels that didn't meet quality control or something. Or they're just selling the same panels with worse hardware to save a few bucks, or are last generation.
IMO I'd buy the hisense for $200 more. Sometimes these TVs are a good panel that was scored dirt cheap (EKO TVs from BigW were sometimes half decent samsung panels) but it's not cheap enough to justify here.
I've bought a few cheap of OEM's.
What you get is a brand name panel, but bare bones hardware / drivers.
For example,
The panel will be a Hisense/ TCL/ LG but has no upscaling, no motion blurr processing, no backlight / eco energy saving features.
My TV is full back light by default. No menu to turn it down (only brightness…which isnt the backlight).
So I press Source 2580, and it will go into the panels service menu. I can turn the backlight down (picture looks 1000% better without light bleed and uses 1/5th of the power 250w down to 50w). TV will last much longer. Can then enable sports mode / cinema mode etc.
No upscaling, as that board isn't inside.
But, as soon as I change a channel, turn it off. It is all lost back to default. Absolute PITA. So I only use it for set and forget stuff. Ie. full movie, footy on and nothing but the footy on all day. As a daily normal TV, I would have thrown it.
These TV's are great if you are only streaming full 4k content in a bright room and dont care how many watts it chews. This is the reason you hear people saying "trash TV…doesnt last long etc". It's because they are running at full output.
P.S. 100% agree on going with the Hisense. $200 buys you the internal hardware you need (upscaling/ smooth motion/ contrast processing etc)… then there's after sale support…etc etc..
Not having a go at you, but isn't normally advised to basically disable all those extra processing features of most TVs, especially things like motion/smoothness etc? On our Samsung, we basically have it stuck on filmmaker mode, which disables everything and makes colours look the most natural etc.
@HappyPants: Yep, I'd agree with that. The cinema mode stuff can be awful.
4K video with everything turned off will be fine.
But without some motion blurring, the non upscaled lower resolution stuff looks Bad. Basically looks like Minecraft (blocks become very apparent).
Any info on what the model number is for this TV, can't find anything on TVSN website very generic by the looks of it.
Good one. No energy info / rating anywhere. Being an OEM it will be flat out…and a flat out mini LED…wowza!!
Like all JVC in australia this will be a Yale Prima rebrand of who knows what budget brand. If TVSN is selling it at this price I doubt it's a bargain.
So tempting on the face of it but yeah, you're probably right. Gonna hold fast for a better brand
Cool, mini LED is getting cheap.
Exactly right…this will be a wave of cheap OEM mini LEDS.
I'm surprised Metz/ Skyworth didn't kick off a wave of cheap OEM OLEDs. Plenty of them on Alibaba etc
I wonder how long until we have 100 inch micro LED displays for under $1000. It was only relatively recently millionaires were buying them. The way things are going you might see the panels in Aldi within 10 years.
Definitely 120" TV's out there. But they are just backlit (and would be awful). Haven't seen any mini leds in the 100's. Projector would make a lot more sense.

Right, you got the Joovc six-five inch lead fork one-four-four mehhrz Googal Tuv! Is it ready for the huud?
Hope its not like the Joovc Doovdé player I got
What kind of spastic comments is this?
Do yourself a favour and buy a decent brand
You can currently get an 144hz mini-led tcl or Hisense for well under $1200 delivered. Why would anyone buy this.
Many people wouldn't be aware that back in the 80's JVC were fully Japanese owned and produced high-end gear!
Wow JVC are still around! Do any stores actually sell them?
