Not bad for a 39" LED TV considering alot of 32" screens are around $350-400. Toshiba is a pretty reliable and reputable brand too.

Available online - I'm not to sure if this is in-store as well.

Specs are as follows( from the JB website):

39" Screen

1920 x 1080 (Full HD)

Anti-Glare technology enhances viewing pleasure by filtering excess external light

LED Direct technology delivers improved contrast levels using LEDs directly behind the screen

USB Playback - Play your favourite music and family videos and watch memorable photos come to life on the big screen via the handy USB port.

Stylish - The sleek chassis looks ultra-stylish in any family living room

Toshiba’s Active Backlight Control System monitors the brightness of each frame, automatically adjusting the backlight to produce deeper blacks and increased detail, even in low light

Full High Definition 1080p LED backlit screen with a 50Hz refresh rate for the most amazingly real picture quality

8 Day EPG

Headphone out with Volume control

USB

2 X HDMI

Electrical & Electronics 39inch LCD TV Toshiba TV

    How is the quality and value compared to 32" viano fhd led lcd for $199 delivered from DSE?

    • plasmapuff on 28/02/2013 - 01:29

      Double the price for 7 more inches…

        This is my biggest bugbear - it isn't just "7 more inches". If you compare the area of each screen, the 32" has approx 437 sq inches while the 39" has approx 650 sq inches. So, the 39" is actually 50% larger than the 32".

        Also, you are comparing a Tier 3 brand to a Tier 1 branded product. Global companies get access to A+ panels, whereas local OEMs tend to purchase previous generation A- panels. There was a pretty well known case of a HK company trying to use B grade panels in the local market and got burnt, but that is a different story.

        On top of the panel differences, you are also talking about different components on the TV that would make a big difference to visual acuity. A good analogy is a TV is like a computer - made of a monitor (panel) plus processor plus graphics card, etc. Local OEMs will not have the R&D or purchasing power to get the latest processors/graphics cards etc.

        If you are inclined to, you can import a TV based on a reference design, using B- panels or refurbished panels, slap on your logo and sell it for the cheapest price on the market.

    I would spend a bit more and get the Sony HX750 from Costco, 200hz, smart tv, WiFi, 3D

      The Sony HX750 is also a native 100hz screen, has smart features and is also 1 inch bigger. Definately worth the extra the cash.

      Doesn't Costco only have 3 stores Australia wide(according to their website)? Not accessible to many.

  • DEvok on 28/02/2013 - 03:08

    How much would jbhi bargain this down towards to if you paid cash? Also using ing could take off another $18. For pick up then around $360.

    • Thrifty McGifty on 28/02/2013 - 06:38

      ING discount is on purchases up to $100. Or do you put it through as 4 separate payments?

    • mr_vino89 on 28/02/2013 - 10:36

      i think it's online only deal.

    anyone wants to share their experience with this TV. I read that Toshiba lower models take a long time to turn on or switch channel.

    • danone on 05/03/2013 - 12:15

      Got the TV delivered yesterday.

      • Turn on is about 7 seconds.
      • Switch channel is about 3 seconds.
      • dragon7 on 07/03/2013 - 01:00

        thanks for the update, just as slow as those Sanyo re badged TV on sale at BigW every other weeks.

  • agent001 on 28/02/2013 - 09:21

    specs on JB Hi Fi's Website says it has an SD tuner.
    Could they have got this wrong, or is this the reason its so cheap.
    It would be a shame not to be able to receive HD channels

    • Roary on 28/02/2013 - 10:01

      Really? only SD tuner. Thats sucks. Sorry to those who bought one of these. I would be taking mine back if I bought one.

    • SteveBuscemi on 28/02/2013 - 10:13

      JB are wrong. It decodes HD (both MPEG-2 and H.264) just fine.

      • Roary on 28/02/2013 - 17:13

        We are talking about the tuner here. Not what it decodes.
        There are about 4 high def channels like One HD that only a High Def tuner will pickup and send to your TV.
        It has nothing to do with decoding video files.

        • SteveBuscemi on 04/03/2013 - 11:40

          I'm talking about decoding the OTA stream received from the tuner, not decoding files.

      Never rely on JB's specs.They get the work experience kid to write them up.

    • danone on 05/03/2013 - 12:18

      The specs has been fixed (http://www.jbhifi.com.au/tv-lcd-led-plasma/toshiba/39al900-3…) and now say HD Tuner.

      Got the TV yesterday and it definitely can receive HD channels.

    Big Brown Box is selling the Toshiba '39AL900A' for the same price including delivery. I cant for the life of me work out the difference between the 900 and the 900a though. Maybe just another typo as the 'A' model is the only one that appears on the toshiba website. http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/toshiba-39al900a-39-inch-99cm-…

  • noz on 01/03/2013 - 10:41

    Just don't use your public bus to transport the TV ;)

  • Hansi on 05/03/2013 - 05:48

    I just got the TV and I'm happy overall, BUT I can't figure out why it can't play my .avi files from my hard drive. Does anybody experience similar issues and maybe knows how to fix it? Just the audio comes up and a message "video source not support" or similar. Thanks!

    • danone on 05/03/2013 - 12:51

      Very likely the .AVI files use codec that is not supported by Toshiba.
      (Samsung has a great list: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/learningresources/media2.…, I can't find a similar list for Toshiba).

      Try a few .AVI files and there should be one or two that can playback correctly.

      If you are on Windows, use http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en to figure out the video/audio codec info and use http://handbrake.fr/ to convert to the format that the TV can playback.

      • Hansi on 05/03/2013 - 16:33

        Thanks mate, I will try that. Was just surprised as all of my previous TVs with USB never had an issue (even the real cheap ones) and the manual states that it can play different standard video and audio codes in .avi format.
