Voted Hot.. Absolute one not to miss . (excited)

That's oled

You where it around your neck in the winter

We purchased a New49” 4K Finlux from Amazon for £230 I’m watching it now and the picture quality is really good. Sound isn’t that great so we bought a Monitor Audio sound bar.

My 6yr old Samsung PS51D6900 plasma also disagrees with your comment, the only display I've seen to better it is OLED, and even then it's a close one.

Great thanks, just ordered, good price

I’ve just ordered it. I’ve been after a cheap telly for the dining room. TopCashback too

Will this have Smart IPTV app?

Yer, Was my deal, Still can't believe that price.

You'll need a soundbar

Wow £199 would have been a great price

3 camels shows this was down to £199.99 earlier this year in Feb, so will wait for the DeLorean to arrive again

Sold out

OK then... cheers for the random questions for no point. :/

I have a perfectly fin5 Panasonic 65" oled and a 50" pioneer kuro. So really no need😪

To find yourself a better TV (y)

Why would I need to do that?

My Finlux TV lasted 1 year and few days. Finlux direct refused to repair or replace. Waste of money.

Sorry bil bob she still has one my mistake

"had"

454 is a scam seller on amazon btw. But appliances direct is 669. Lot of tv for that money. Nice that it has freeview play. Wish my Sammy had that.

My parole officer had a finlux picture is very good

If you are in east Lancashire you are welcome to come and have a look at my Toshiba 4K and I could take you round to see that very model of Finlux that my friend bought two weeks ago :)

Pretty sure there was a news item on Click the other week stating that all TV manufacturers were dropping 3D.

Well I shall have to take a look at this, I've not yet got into 4K TV's so only going by what you see online and need to see it myself. No doubt 4K TV's will become pretty much the standard as manufacturers move over to it across their ranges of TVs. There's no doubt that a 4K TV of this size for around £300 is stupidly cheap and hard to ignore.

I am amazed at how my 4K Toshiba upscales even SD to look almost as good as HD did on my earlier HD TV, not as good as 4K but a big improvement. A friend has just been round and he was saying that he could not see the point of 3D but admitted he had not seen any recently. I put jungle Book in 3D on my Toshiba and he admitted it was worth having and he has a 4K Panasonic LED TV. I then put Warcraft on at 4K and he agreed that it almost looked like 3D so if they had done full 4K in 3D we would have the best viewing experience possible to date. Unfortunately it is looking like only those of us with projectors will be able to enjoy 3D soon, if the manufacturers do end up dropping all production of 3D TVs. If you know how to watch them there are plenty of movies available in 3D and also plenty in 4K but none combining them yet from what I can see.

4K does look superb, you're absolutely right but how much 4K is there to watch compared to regular definition or full HD? not much at the moment, of course that will slowly change. More important to many is how does a 4K TV display regular definition and high definition images? - some suggest non HD looks terrible on 4K TVs. I must be honest, I've not got one and not seen a 4K tv displaying SD programming and I dare say no shop will ever do that intentionally.

I ordered received a cancellation email then later an email saying dispatched. check you haven't also had a cancellation email - bet you have

crap with the same company?

I had this shenanigans with an SSD recently. Supposedly dispatched but the tracking number supplied was fake and nothing was dispatched or arrived. Refunded in a few days after filing a claim.

It would appear that the thread has been deleted which raises even more concerns. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/finlux-49-inch-ultra-hd-freeview-play-led-smart-tv-49utd297b-p-energy-class-a-2615188 Also that wildrob68 response below

the thread has been removed. i ordered at 89.75 price had email its been dispatched.

is it 10bit hdr

Do not buy finlux, lasted just over 1 year and they will not repair for free The price is hot but waste of money.

Finlux arranged pick-up by courier at the same time as the replacement. Good luck and persevere.

ok thanks, i will try my luck, one more question, how did you send it back? and who payed for that?

I contacted Finlux customer service direct. Took many emails to convince them of what to me was an obvious problem but finally they agreed to replace the tv.

I have only used it the last couple of nights for the testing of audio for someone else in the other thread, watching a couple of episodes of QI and Mock the Week. I didn't notice anything like that but it was really only background viewing for me, though it doesn't surprise me. In terms of navigation of the iPlayer app, I rank the speed to be about that of the Now TV v1 box, maybe slightly faster but not much and that was only a 720p media streamer. The v2 Now TV box is definitely faster to navigate than this TV.

so I bought one of these, and the picture is excellent, however the picture on the internal iplayer is rubbish (aliasing, artifacts, motion blur). It's like the processor doesn't have the power to keep up with HD iPlayer. I can switch to iPlayer via a Chromecast and it is picture perfect. The internal one seems to have problems. Anyone else find this?

​it's still available just gone up in price to £299. Luckily I got mine in time before price went up and was delivered yesterday.. I'd still say a good price at 299 personally, I'm really happy with it. I'm no TV expert but picture looks good to me and getting on Netflix a doddle.

mine just arrived yesterday. Test YouTube 4k and Netflix 4k and was very impressed ! It's on par with my 1.5 year old LG 4k. The set feels a little cheap and plastic and the sound it not good but at 229 it's an absolute seal ! smart system is very responsive also.

awwww missed it anymore similar price ?

Okay, so I received them today. The do indeed look nice and build quality isn't awful. What I will say, though, is that sounds like you'd imagine £20 headphones to sound like. Don't expect Bose or even Beats sound quality out of these.

Thanks! They look nice and the price seems good. Think I'll take the plunge :)

I've got a pair, they're pretty decent for standard use - listening to music and watching movies etc. They're pretty well made and they look good! They come in a box very similar to beats headphones. I'd recommend them. Although I would buy them from amazon as their customer service was way better than Finlux. :)

Anyone got these? Want something to connect to my iPhone and my Switch.

Decided to order these headphones from Amazon for the extra fiver as their customer service is so good. Glad I did! They arrived covered in black dirty marks, I think they were a pair someone had returned - they're dispatched by finlux so it wouldn't have mattered if I had ordered straight from their site. Amazon sent me the £25 to purchase a replacement pair whereas finlux didn't seem to want to help when I contacted them. I personally think they're great for the money! Perfect for watching movies on the train, not sure what they're like with music yet though. Will put them to the test!

I'm getting a weird issue where the menu doesn't come up on screen sometimes when I'm watching sky via hdmi 2? Always works on the TV output though.

Hdmi 1 is ARC enabled.

Don't suppose anyone can help with my similar problem... I have an av unit with a ps4, Wii u and Chromecast attached which all work fine giving surround sound with this TV. However, when I use the inbuilt Netflix on the Finlux the amp doesn't give sound and I have to turn off the av unit and use the TV speakers. This a shame as I'd gotten used to surround sound with Netflix. Does this TV lack ARC or something? My Freesat box has also stopped working completely but that doesn't seem to be due to the new TV...

Does anyone have a link to the latest firmware? Thanks

Connecting at 36Mbps now before I couldn't get a speed test it just timed out. Still slow connection that though as my BB is 76Mbps. Still good for money in my opinion.

SCART port. oO

there a 4k one on there also couple of pound difference

was £799 X)

They did not say it was 4K

not 4k

I got this last week when it was 229. picture is great ! sound is pants but who cares you can easy fix that.

quiet happy with my 2 year old Finlux and you talk about fake review how you know if the "up market" brands aren't doing the fake reviews too? its hard to get positive review because most people will only write negative stuff, the best reviews to look at on tech guys on YouTube and such, but even the most expensive brand can have flaws, like that Samsung phone that exploded in your pocket.

By the way.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y0pYUdfGiw

Finlux isn't a supermarket brand and can get some respectable reviews even on sites like whathifi who can get a bit obsessive about picture quality and sound. http://www.whathifi.com/products/finlux/tvs I don't know what this set is like but know I've got a different Finlux set myself which has been utterly superb and I spent much time comparing specs and looking at reviews before purchase. I looked at google translated sites abroad to see how Finlux and Vestel were rated and came away with a much more positive impression.

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. You can see the full OEM tv catalogue here. http://vestelinternational.com/en/media/ Information on Vestel's picture processing software 'Pixellence' is here; www.vestek.com.tr 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. http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/deb17bd 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.

The cheaper one is mains only not 12v.

They have one for £99 DIRECT? Yours is also £130 DIRECT?

I've had finlux in the past that 1st tv broke after 14months, luckily had extra Yr warranty, they replaced but warranty did not continue. 11 months later it packed in. (technically outside the extended warranty but the TV itself less than 1yr) During same period my daughter had a finlux in her bedroom with little overall use, 3nights a wk max, only std 1yr warranty, 13months it packed in. so based on the 3 tv's in total best lasted 16 months... not a good selling point. I know I wouldn't buy another unless they gave min 5yr warranty that continued full 5yrs even if tv replaced with new due to prior failure!

Hi All, not sure if you guys have recently read news about Peter Navaro and there was a mention about his documentary on China. It’s more relevant to America but I don’t think we are far from that situation. I know, it’s off bit to festive season but make watch when you get chance in next month or so…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMlmjXtnIXI "Hisense Co., Ltd. is a Chinese multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong province, China. It is a state-owned enterprise with publicly traded subsidiaries. Owner: Government of China Stock price: 600060 (SHA) CN¥16.81 -0.20 (-1.18%) 23 Dec, 15:00 GMT+8 - Disclaimer Headquarters: China Revenue: 15.04 billion USD (2013) Founded: September 1969"

RRP LOL , This has never ever ever sold at almost £1500 and whoever 'recommended' this retail price is clearly high on drugs.

Bought the Hisense and it looks amazing - uncharted 4 in 4k hdr looks amazing. Bargain.

Hisense wins hands down for me, great picture quality.

had a finlux and luckily had a 3yr warranty as part of the deal (I never take warranties out) after 14months it just stopped working, they took 3days to collect and 2 days to decide it was not repairable, the warranty company phoned next day, told me finlux were not very good as they have to replace more than any other and offered me another make (again Vestell - parent company) which I refused and ended up with a Samsung, the warranty company then tried saying they have filled their obligations and my remaining 23months was void, after going to financial ombudsman I won and got a new 3yr warranty, costs and £250 goodwill gesture. I might just have had a bad one, but wouldn't deal with finlux again as their customer service just don't want to help.

listen carefully, i bought a tv from finlux, VERY BAD MOVE, THEY HAVE THE WORST CUS SERVICE DEPT. my tv had issues with sound dropping , ( no sound ). 1 month old. sent it back and they said i wud hav it back within a week , simple software update, 1. month later they still had my tv and hadnt got around to lokking at it. i got it back 2 weeks later , 6 weeks from sent. still has the same problem. so i got online n checked internet for feedback , to find it was an ongoing problem with finlux, so many people experiencing the same issues, do ur research and u will choose to avoid, i still hav the tv and at least 3 times a week i hav to turn it off to get sound back.

hey

For the price, the picture quality is excellent. With my (less than expert) eye, I find it difficult to see a difference between the Finlux & more expensive brands.

well my father in law bought one (not this model and cost over £400) back last year and it doesnt even play most common movie files and they call it a smart tv!!

Got one and it comes with 4 hdmi not 2. I have had Alot of top branded tvs in the past and this is by far the best picture quality I have had.

No, I would not buy one. If you are in the market for one this size see the recommendations above ;)

Solid advice here, the Hisense is a lot better when you're spending this much money. This Finlux TV doesn't really have much technical info available either, just going to assume as they haven't mentioned HDR, it doesn't have it. Hopefully it has a 60hz refresh rate at least..

You got one?

You are much better off going for the Hisense 65K5510. It costs just over £100 more but won the Best Buy award in a AVForums review today: https://www.avforums.com/review/hisense-he65k5510-k5510-uhd-4k-hdr-tv-review.13152 It's comparable to the expensive Sony and Samsung sets that are below £2000. Available for £755 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hisense-inch-Widescreen-Smart-Freeview/dp/B01FDF1MDK/

Now £699

A bit 10-bit panel just relates to the colour depth, whilst it gives an indication about the possible quality of a panel it does not mean it will be any good, there are still alot of other factors that could make a good panel terrible. Another interesting point is that this appears to be dled, rather than edge lit, another feature rarely found on sets this price.

Is the general rule of thumb when looking for a new tv to go with a 10bit panel? Its hard to find info on sites if they are 10bit or not also UHD,HDR its all so confusing

We have had a couple of Finlux 40" TV's for over a year now. I think the picture quality is superb for watching TV. Previously had a couple of Panasonic plasmas and these Finlux are much superior in terms of the crispness of the imagery. But not quite as good as our new Hisense.

Don't think anyone knows, can't find anything on google, the most relevant results are the finlux site then this thread.
