      Akai (Japanese: 赤井, pronounced [a̠ka̠i]) was a Japanese electronics manufacturer, established as Akai Electric Company Ltd in Tokyo in 1929. It was best known outside Japan for its tape recorders during the 1960s and 1970s. The company became bankrupt in 2000 and since then third-party products have been marketed under the Akai brand name, which has since been owned by Grande Holdings of Hong Kong.

        Company I work for in the FMCG segment is Chinese owned… They can't buy farms etc so they buy the companies that are directly involved in these sectors like distribution…. In saying that they don't do anything other than let us operate like we would under any other ownership.

    Three year warranty will actually be longer under Australian law. Bigw will just refund you rather than deal with the hassle, so it's a pretty cheap, safe bet for at least 5-7 years.

    • Raynes on 07/04/2026 - 18:41

      I doubt Consumer Law would give you longer than 2 years on a $200 TV

          +10

          I don't know what Big W would or wouldn't do in reality but your take on consumer law is wrong. There's absolutely a price to lifespan ratio. Per this

          Consumer guarantees apply for a period of time that is considered reasonable having regard to the nature of the products or services, including the price paid

          What is reasonable for the durability of a product will depend on things like the type of product, the price, and how it is likely to be used.

          There's no way a $237 TV is treated the same as a $2370 TV as reasonable expectation by the law.

            @Nillionaire: I can confidently say you're wrong , at least when dealing with Bigw. I know because I bought a cheap 65" TV on sale from BigW, that was glitching after 5 years, and Bigw provided a full refund in the form of gift vouchers after I sent a few emails to head office.

            If you go into it with your defetist attitude and don't bother asking, you'll definitely get absolutely nothing .

              +1

              @KRM123: I never claimed anything about Big W so I can't be wrong. I explicitly exclusively made a statement on how consumer law would see it.

          • Associatedvinkit @ BIG W on 07/04/2026 - 22:55
            +9

            @Nillionaire: Can confirm as Big W staff that price of product doesn't matter with refund. For TV, I believe the expected lifespan is at least 5 years, so even though if the manufacturer warranty is expired, customer still can get refund if TV is malfunction. That's the company policy.

                @KRM123: You were down voted for a different claim than the one you ended at.

                Three year warranty will actually be longer under Australian law.

                and

                Consumer law gives guidance on expected life of various electronics , which is the guiding factor, not price.

                You were wrong to assert such and were downvoted for it.

                If you ran with something like "BigW typically honor warranty on any TV for up to 5 years" that would be completely different.

                • KRM123 on 08/04/2026 - 11:59

                  @Duff5000: Which I said further down if you read.

                  Are you saying if two people buy same product, one is reduced on clearance and one is full price that both have different rights for exact same product? That's not true

                  • Big L on 08/04/2026 - 14:53

                    @KRM123: Please don't bother, you're incorrect. ACL and company policy are two different things.

                    If Big W (or Wesfarmers) don't have a current agreement with the supplier, I'd be surprised if they would eat the loss on a clearance TV after 5 years, but as an employee and customer have said, I'm incorrect.

                    • KRM123 on 08/04/2026 - 18:37

                      @Big L: Correct, you're incorrect.

            • Associatedvinkit @ BIG W on 08/04/2026 - 21:45

              @vinkit: Just clarify that Big W's return & refund policy follows the Consumer Law.

    Yeah I just bought one and am using it as my PC screen, mainly to watch youtube whilst I walk on the treadmill. Picture looks great and I have nothing to complain about - maybe tiny bit of bleed on a black screen but on a windows desktop etc, it looks perfect.. I'm just watching some '4k' videos on youtube and they look as good as any other 4k I've seen in JB Hifi etc. Definitely worth the $230 odd dollars. My local only had 3 left. The staff told me it was clearance so there are no returns for change of mind. Still has warranty 36months iirc.

        ok windows had it default at 29.97. But I've cranked it to 60 and it runs fine. W11 also shows a few more rates up to 75 but they have astriks next to them. I'm not using it for gaming so will leave it as is. yeah if i choose 75 in w11 the aspect ratio changes, it stretches the picture. Could also be a limit of my Radeon intergrated grafix that I'm using.
