Caveat; I'm not playing any games on this TV.

TV arrived today, and honestly, for the money, I cannot fault it. Fantastic for all my needs. Can stream my media (MKVs etc..) from my server using DLNA without issues via inbuilt wifi with no buffering (Router is Netgear R7000 with DDWRT). 720p and 1080p picture quality is outstanding imho, 4k flawless. SD TV looks fuzzy in comparison but perfectly watchable and I guess that's to be expected for such a large screen.

TV speakers are surprisingly good, plenty of volume for watching normal every day TV, but I will be on the lookout for a suitable soundbar with wireless sub to enjoy movies.

Everything works great nice and smooth except smart TV menu can take a while to load, but youtube netflix and DLNA works great.

Added bonus, it appears to have 2 USB ports on the back, the listing stated it only had a single USB port. Tried Amazon Firestick in both ports to power it whilst connected to HDMI and provides power without any issues.

Very pleased with this purchase, great price great picture quality, I just haven't tested it with a games console and unlikely I will, so this might not be for gamers...

It will get wall mounted eventually as it has good viewing angles (possibly IPS).

​I know right, my Megadrive is better because it's 16bit.

Hey! It's not the amount of HDMI ports, it's what you do with them that counts!

So I'm told, anyway.

2 bob

65 inches cool.

10 bit?

I have the 49inxh verson. I'm very happy with it. that cost £319 a few weeks ago

looks like a deal, until you see its got just 2 HDMI sockets.....hmmmmmmm

Thanks OP have some heat, purchased one.

Listing states only 4.8cm deep, wall mounting ideas here: http://www.tvinstallnortheast.com/?lightbox=dataItem-iqwvnhju3

TV at the right price point and size for my needs.

A brand like that id want 6yrs warranty. Thats why id get a hisense from richer sounds if theh did this price.

tempted to buy it and set fire to it then through it in the ocean

IF it's HDMI 2.0 then an absolutely fantastic introduction to this size tv for movie watching or maybe football, i can't see a mention of which version of hdmi anywhere

does it have hdr

I was waiting for a hisense 65" deal but this has got to be pretty similar I'd have thought? Does anyone have experience of this make? Although by the time I've dithered it'll be sold out

50inch at £299 good value

That's a lot of TV for the price :smiley:

Would it be any good for Xbox one s does anyone know guys ?

50hz. No wonder it's cheap

Almost tempted then realised it's not 3D. Crap

3D RIP

Damn I am tempted. Just never heard of the make. Anyone?? Xx

Will this TV do [email protected]?

Decent reviews anywhere ? Anyone ?

Chances are this will be using a low end Panel from either Innolux or AUO - It's possible it could be a Samsung but highly doubtful given its cost. Vestel do however use a Samsung Panel in a lot of their 55" 4K offerings. If you're after big on a budget keep a close eye on the Hisense HE65K5510 - that's regularly on offer, has been as low as £659 recently and it's a quality Television for the money.

Ive had a damn good look around, and at some reviews and a youtube review and ive bitten the bullet - only 2 HDMI can be remedied with a splitter for a tenner from fleabay - i looked at this compared to a 55" in Richersounds, its HUGE....ill report once it gets here and its set up

:smile: look forward to reading your comments

I am tempted but so far i have no idea of how it would be for gaming as i can't find any info about input lag and also the only 2 hdmi ports and no hdr is off putting although i am not sure how much difference HDR actually makes ?

There's no HDR on it I rang AO and checked, that means no 4K gaming through Xbox one

the xbox never did proper native 4k, it was upscaling only, Scorpio will be able to do 4k & hdr natively

Well in order for the Xbox one to " upscale " the game to 4K it needs a tv with HDR so either way this is not what you want for Xbox one S

Well.... I bought this tv this afternoon.. £539 for a 65 inch screen seems like a fairly good deal... the chap from ao.com arranged next day delivery so il should b here in the morning.

for fear of offending, it really doesn't, it'll play 4k games without hdr - high dynamic range wont come into play... i've spent ages trying to get a straight answer and that seems to be it ,direct from Microsoft's mouth ( which is always to be trusted o course )

Yeah of course it will still play , but you aren't going to get the full effect so what would be the point in that ? If I'm gona buy a tv for my new Xbox one s I certainly want to make use of HDR if you've read up about you should know why .. in any case I'm out ..you wanna buy a non HDR tv for your HDR capable Xbox go ahead, for anyone else thinking about it for Xbox one s I'd suggest reading up too

Imho this is probably a great tv at the price but there's no way it will play HDR on your S so buy a HDR hisense or stick with what you got .

Thanks for your review , really interested in this tv but couldn't find any info anywhere x

Can you give a review ?

This DLNA server seems to work quite well with the TV, completely open source free: http://www.universalmediaserver.com/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/unimediaserver/

I have it on force default renderer set to Android

Hi dankerrysmum... the box with hopefully a to arrived at 9am this morning which I think is not bad considering I ordered the item at 3pm the previous day... unfortunately the only thing I can report on is that the box is bloody huge... haven't had time to unbox but after reading ur review I am reasonably confident... honestly... 539 pounds for a 65 inch tv... it would b rude not too... techwood btw are made by vestel in turkey who make TVs for pretty much the whole world be it budget brands or even rebadged mainstream brands...

I kind of want to buy it because its 65" but i have yet to see anything about anyone gaming on it like input lag and motion blur etc hmmm

Thanks for replying , I still haven't taken the plunge , holding off one more day for Friday ,just in case .Id be very grateful when you do get it up and running to give me a quick update ? Thanks so much x

Hi especially dankerrysmum... I'm not too technical but I know a deal when I c one... buy it... set up is smooth.. I'v got zero sources plugged in and I'm only watching drake on YouTube via wifi.. it's good!! I'v not messed with any settings like modes or colours but trust me it's good.. very clear picture, the bezel is like no more than 10mm around the screen and best of all u can hardly notice the techwood logo... 539 for a 65 inch tv is fantastically good.. it guaranteed for a year.. so yes.. pretty pleased..:smiley:

i got mine this afternoon, running standard def sky/freeview received through it and its fine. Fire TV Box looks great. youtube and netflix built in are rapid. And the sound seems great also. not massively into TVs but this is good enought for me. ask away and i will do what i can to answer them.

Looks like it's expired now;

0 available
344 sold

Edit; back in stock: "The listing below has been updated by the seller"

Got it yesterday, all set up with Sky, PC etc - Pic is good ( streaming 4k from Youtube pic is very, very good ).

Easy to set up once everything is plugged in, this is a huge TV and quite heavy, dont make my mistake and think your standard unit will take this ( unless wall mounting ) cos i had to "modify" mine to get it to fit.

Remote is fast and easy to use, looks like a generic one. Has dedicated Netflix button so if you have that its perfect.

Messed with the pic and sound as it was a bit tinny out of the box, now fine as is pic.

2 HDMI was almost a deal breaker for me but a £6 HDMI splitter ( 1080 only , not 4K - they're about another fiver on top ) from eBay solved this, came with little remote so very easy to use.

Only niggle i have found is that some menu items constantly pop up ( like when viewing Sky it always comes up with some Dedicated HDMI gumph that i cant understand cos im Northern, probably ) and when you mute the sound the icon stays on the screen until you enable the volume again... strange.

Web browsing is a synch and fast too.

Pic quality on HD channels is great, however when playing HD content form my PC is a little glitchy and can stutter ( hoping thats my PC however i have a decent one so ill have to play with it a little more to optimise it )

All in all this is a great value TV, for its size and with 4K and the Smart functions ( which INCLUDE Freeview PLAY - that wasn't highlighted but it a very welcome plus point ) you just can't beat it. Add in the AO after-sales ( which i understand is pretty good ) and for £540 this is a steal....

Cheers OP, i appreciate your efforts very much, cheers AO for stellar service and cheers Techwood, this is a brill telly & many brownie points have been earn't!

P

Is the Hisense 65" worth the additional £260 on top of this one?

Ordered , thanks to people for reviews :smiley:

Best 65" 4k deal in terms of price, yes no HDR or 10bit panel, but in terms of price I can't find anything else that comes near this price for a 65" 4k.

OOS

Looks like they have restocked again.

Do you know how far apart the feet are? Or is there any chance you could check for me please?
I have contacted AO but they just replied with they don't have that information.
Our tv sits on a sideboard which we cant change so if the feet are too wide apart this would be a no no.

You're looking at approximately 130cm from end to end for the feet. TV is approximately 146cm wide, let me know if that helps.

Thats excellent thank you :smiley:

Just something to be aware of:

- refresh rate 50hz (most tvs are 60hz)
- processor is dual core (smaller tvs in the same price range are quad core)

Fine if you use it to watch basic free view in conjunction with something like a now tv box. I wouldn't expect much from the app functionality.

Great tv for the price though.

I am running the sound through Samsung HW-K550 Wireless Soundbar via the optical cable as this TV has no ARC afaik, anyone else getting an annoying amount of sound delay with a soundbar? If I play both TV and sound bar together it has a really bad echo, and with the soundbar on it's own the actor's lips move first then the audio follows which is a bit frustrating.

Aren't you supposed to turn the tv volume to minimum when using a sound bar?

Thought I'd missed out on these at the low price, they're back up to £599 on eBay again. However, found a discount code 50MEGA and used it on the AO website at the checkout (look carefully, it's a small link near the bottom left) and don't be fooled by the "that's all you need to do the any discounts have been subtracted" (or whatever it actually says ;-) ). You'll get £50 off it, not quite £539 but at £549 I was happy.

Pete

Can anybody who has bought this tv please advise the optimum settings... the contrast seems to be set quite high when u initial setup... i.e.. it's seems pretty much on full???

had mine 9 days and wont power on, pulsing blue power light. getting swapped out tomorrow

I bailed out, rang AO today and changed my order to the Hisence because you get these extras...

HDR, More inputs, USB3, PVR, Freeview AND Freesat HD! (so I can basically do without my Sky box and BT box, how come no one mentions this when comparing these 2TV's?) and the 2 year manufacturer warranty.

...all for another £150ish

Best of luck folks with whatever you go with.

Pete

Hope the return procedure was easier.

seapped out within 24 hours. couldnt fault it

Looks like it's gone back up to £599

YEP TENNER OFF IS BEST WE CAN GET AT THE MOMENT SO 6YRS RICHER SOUNDS HISENSE AT £749 IT IS!

oops sorry for shouting!(and being too lazy to retype!)

TENNEROFF AO code!

Been using this TV since purchased in Black Friday sales, got it mounted on the wall with this wall bracket from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Invision-Ultra-Strong-Bracket-Mount/dp/B01AYBLPNA

Still really impressed with the TV for the price.

Price now £599. Is it worth spending extra £100 for Finlux 65 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01M7SQEZQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1487353209&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=finlux+tv&dpPl=1&dpID=41SJgeMKddL&ref=plSrch

IifIf you need HDR spend more. This is an excellent TV for the price.

I did cheers
