Looks a nice tv , especially for the money - anyhting hidden that one should know about - seriously tempted by this baby, but presume it is the usual eastern european model, but will that mean anything ? ?

Those evil bastards!

septicsac · 02-05-2014 12:33AM

The powercity version is 100hz, where as Ibood claim theirs to be 500hz ? ? 1 yr warranty with powercity, while 2 with Ibood

septicsac · 02-05-2014 12:35AM

How is the sound on the Lg's , do they really need a sound bar or ok without them ?

John Cherry · 02-05-2014 12:40AM

So so tempting. Must not give in.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 02-05-2014 08:17AM

Its marketing BS. Read this link. Most likely this TV is 100hz also.

Your ears deserve better than relying on the sound from a LED/LCD!!

No 3D. Its a gimmick anyway. I have a 3D TV and even with the Netflix movies in 3D I don't bother. Just watch regular.
According to the manual WiFi isn't built in power city says it is but ibood says 'Extensive network capabilities: WiFi. You might need a dongle. Decent enough for the price. Last 2 TVs were lg and have no complaints.

Was looking at buying this Samsung today but this TV is looking tempting.

Anyone know what the difference between the F6320 and F6400 is. The F6400 is available in Powercity for 599.

Chesty08 · 02-05-2014 09:48AM

Hi Guys,

Looking for a TV at the min,

Does the F6320 mean that it is a Series 6 tv?

Can extended warranties be purchased on TV's in Argos??

If you were to part with your cash TV which TV is better?

groom · 02-05-2014 10:43AM

webOS?
Just wait a few weeks and they'll be flogging them for €99 and there'll be a 1000 page thread.

Looks like a good deal. Thanks for posting

Ya, whats the story with webos?

groom · 02-05-2014 11:49AM

It actually looks really slick. LG have re-purposed it. The interface looks really nice. I would love an XBMC skin that looks / works like it.

Seriously tempted by this, have many people ordered stuff of these guys before?

Are they reliable for delivery and after sales service?

Never had an issue with delivery. You just need to be aware that delivery times can vary... A lot. So if you're not in a rush all should be fine. Never had to deal with after sales.

Can't understand buying a 42 1080p LED and then settling for "grand sound". A sneaky €200 would get you a lovely sound bar to do the job for years and no clutter.

The sound on your analogue box was probably better than your LED. Big square boxes produce nicer sounds than flat slabs

Barely There · 02-05-2014 03:33PM

Folks, does anyone know if this would decode Freesat or Saorview without a separate box?

MICKEYG · 02-05-2014 03:35PM

Don't want to tale a risk on these guys.
Argos have a 40F6320 for 519. The 40F6400 in Power City is 599.
Seems to be no difference in spec.
Thoughts?

no mention of aspect ratio that I can see.

septicsac · 20-05-2014 10:14PM

Tv arrived today - only set it up to make sure it was working , but already very impressed. Very slick design, great picture and sound is very good. Connected to internet no problem and appears very easy to use - well pleased for the money paid.

40F6320 doesn't have built-in WiFi, so if you need a wireless connection you need to buy a dongle separately (currently €49.99 at Argos / approx €30 on ebay). 40F6320 has 3 USB ports, so you don't need to unplug dongle to watch movies from your USB drive.

Rip-Off Republic: Worth mentioning that 40F6400 starts from €450 in Poland and €475 in Germany.

40F6320 does have in-built Wi-FI. Bought it 3 weeks ago Friday from argos.

septicsac · 21-05-2014 10:52PM

The ibood one has built in wifi and connection could not be easier.

lfcmayo · 21-05-2014 11:45PM

Bought 2 tvs from them in the last 6 months, amazing value.

There will be World Cup deals on in the next few days so have a look.

I bought 2 UE40F6510 both to my door for €580 each, priced at 649 now
but that will come down guaranteed.

They ship from France so European plug but €2 adapter solves that.
Otherwise serious piece of kit.

Heads up tho most new LED tvs only have 20watt sound so you
might want to buy a soundbar at some stage but otherwise brilliant.

Has Soarview and Satellite built in so just connect your cables and tune.

Hope that helps
