I'd be interested to know if this is true, was planning on buying another when mine dies but not if they're not as good these days

All Finlux televisions have been Vestel since 2006 and Vestel uses Finlux as its premium brand for export however Vestel's best tv's are only sold in select markets mainly Turkey and Russia I think under the Vestel brand.

I have a Finlux tv and its superb and frankly the best tv I could get at the time. I wanted passive 3D, 4k and low input lag for gaming and the LG models had higher input lag that was unacceptable to me and most other brands were using the awful active 3D so my options were limited. Previous to the Finlux I had a Polaroid 3D tv for the same reasons which was smaller and when I sold it on the people who bought it were more than happy with it by their comments.

This is my model.

Mine uses a LG panel though because of the passive 3D but most Vestel's use their own panels or at least do final assembly of panels in Turkey.

It's the most advanced TV factory in Europe with the lowest DOA rate (they claim).

However Vestel manufacture a range of models from low specification to mid range spec for export. Finlux is their premium export brand so tends to get higher spec models than some lower brands or badge slaps. For example my Finlux has a fast quad core logic board but a Toshiba branded 4k set made by Vestel only had a dual core cpu logic board because that was all Toshiba were willing to pay for I guess. In fairness Toshiba have to create a margin for end retailers, wholesalers and themselves over the Vestel factory door price. That's why often Vestel sets are better obtained from large resellers who buy from Vestel and directly sell to customers depending on spec and price of course.

In performance terms they compete very well with the entry level televisions from the big brands.

What you got?

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Yet it's getting hotter, go figure. :wink:

​i own a finlux 3d tv that has been going strong for 2 years no issues whatsoever so i do have right to comment. Finlux tvs generally get very good reviews for price / quality ratio. For the budget end these are good value. Picture quality is very good and sound is like all other lcd tvs where external sound connection is much better

Expired, OOS :wink:

Yeah i have had a few and have been impressed with the picture. think a lot of budget TVs need a soundbar now though.
