Not sure about the TV, seems to have all the other bells and whistles lower end 4k Units have.

Can't find any reviews online apart from the one linked above and the Argos site.
I've reserved one anyway, have until after work tomorrow to decide.
Hopefully someone who has one comes back with a review before then!

Or how does it compare to the ba lg 49 inch last year for 439 :-)

Decent review here & on the Argos UK site.

No HDR though.

That's not the same TV though.....I never go by the actual Argos reviews because even the worst items seem to all have fairly decent reviews!

Price gone up to €530.

I have a reservation in St. Stephen's Green until end of today at yesterday's price if anyone wants to take a chance on seeing if they honour it?

Thanks for the offer. I'm in Dublin and won't be down in that direction anytime soon.

Picked up mine yesterday without any hassle once I showed screenshot of the price I reserved it for

Huh? As in no power cable or no plug on the cable? If its the power cable are you sure its not in a box inside the box, or put into the polystyrene supporting the TV?

I'll check mine later, the box was battered and was previously opened (possibly to show a customer I was told). Had a quick look inside and the legs were unopened so I didn't look any further.

Give it a week, you'll be so used to it, you'll wonder why you didn't get a 65"

Anyone tried there's yet
Good quality for 384 ? :-)

Have one reserved
Like other ba's not sure if I need it ;-)

I knew I shouldn't have accepted it!

Just opened the box and plugged in the TV. Screen is smashed. The sticker you can see on the box has a delivery address on it (the chancer in store told me it was the address of their depot), I just called the fella up on it. He had it delivered before Christmas and it was like that - screen smashed. He had an awful time returning it, but they finally took it back. Now it looks like they just put it back for sale.

I'm absolutely fuming, and won't be able to get back to the store till next week. I will go in to my local one over the weekend to see if they will swap, but I really want to get that little fecker and see why he pushed it on me.

That's shocking behaviour, complete waste of your time and they clearly knew it.

Isn't the bargain over now?

UPDATE: Back In Stock at Low Price

chops018

Is this TV any good?

I have reserved one at the €384.00 price, but I don't know if I should bother.

Currently a 5-6 year old 32" Samsung in the sitting room so I am assuming this will surely be an upgrade in all areas. It's just that I love the Samsung brand of TV. Have Samsung TV's in the bedroom, sitting room, and kitchen. Always found that brand superior quality but I don't really have the wedge to for out €700.00-800.00 for a Samsung.

Seriously complain about this dude, i hate people like this in retail gives everyone a bad name. He was just looking for his commission, is his name on the receipt?

EAN: 5014024003041 when this is googled,

https://tvuhd.org/product/hitachi-48-inch-ultra-hd-smart-led-tv-b-grade/

the above link comes up, listing "B-Grade" TV's (refurbs). Are these all refurbs, yet it doesn't say so explicitly in the ad?

smelly sock

Can anyone confirm if this tv supports 4k content from a usb hard drive?

Thanks

chops018

Just saw that the Motion rate is 50Hz.

Surely this isn't good when some TV's today have 200Hz motion rate?

It doesn't matter really. Unless you are using sky q.

If you are using a virgin horizon box or normal sky+ hd or saorivew box I think the motion rate on them is 60hz max.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Would just be a Virgin Media HD+ box and an Xbox One S.

Do you think it would suit, bearing in mind it would be an upgrade from a 5-6 year old 32" Samsung.

Hey,

I think the xbox one s is 4k?? Really for gaming you'd need a tv with HDR. But your into a decent chunk of money. If it's just younger kids gaming I'd go with this tv as they won't be using that feature as much.

For virgin media it would be the bees knees.

If you get this tv order in a 4k hdmi cable off amazon. They are about 10 quid for a decent one. Any of the stores in ireland will rip you off.

I bought one today, and i got 10% discount mentioning the code tv10 at the till, so far seems good value for money.

Was it new or refurbished? Have you it set up? Can you give us a few details on it?

So you got 38 quid off it? That's deadly.

Could you check if it can play 4k via usb? I understand if that's to much to ask.

well, it looks new, everything was packed on sealed bags and boxes, and it doesn't have any marks or scratches, is there any way to know if it's refurbished? any code to check?
