    Thanks for this brightkane. I can't believe I didn't know about these, and I am looking at tv's right now and had discounted a couple I liked because of the feet not fitting on the tv cabinet. This has opened up my choice again!


    Glad to help folks. I was in the same boat disregarding TV's until I found out it existed.

    Amazon UK has stopped shipping TVs to Ireland which is kind of sad coz they have some of the best prices to offer !

    If it supports freeview, ideally it should support Soarview.

    I bought this tv on Sunday

    Sony BRAVIA KD49XG81 49-inch LED 4K HDR Ultra HD Smart Android TV with voice remote - Black (2019 model) [Energy Class A]
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07P7R73FP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Mind you, it is still "waiting to be dispatched" with no expected delivery date, even though I am a prime customer and prime shipping is available.

    I finally got onto support today, they said it is currently "stuck" at a fulfillment centre and they will have an update for me within 48 hours.

    I assume if there was any problems shipping to an Irish address, they wouldnt of let me submit my order (and pay).

    Looks like these are shipping today finally... (55' from powerplanet)
    I have ordered 2 by mistake, thought the first one had cancelled and re-ordered.
    I had moved my credit card to new bank so transactions looked a bit different and didnt cop the original hold put on first purchase.

    Looking forward to getting the tv now though...

    Any updates?
    I've heard nothing since last Thursday when it got dispatched.

    i gave it a quick review few pages back 43" version. After a week or so with it , cant fault pic or sound or connectivity hate the feckin remote . Android tv is good but playstore limited so im sideloading loads. inbuilt google assist is buggy so i just use my google mini. it was obviously released without Dsiney+ as standard so when you download Disney plus app assistant wont do " hey google play mandalorian" but will do "hey google open disney plus". As a gaming screen its pretty good also for sports( im re watching prime video premier league games)

    Stuff from Europe has reached a standstill. Planes are being unloaded but the quantities are so huge getting items scanned onto receiving systems has a massive backlog.

    Harvey Norman definitely had them,much cheaper than online for my Samsung,and also I saw some in Tesco Wilton AFAIK ( remember)
    Harvey N was cheaper than soundstore
    One size fits all jobbie, worth a look

    I have used this site but never for a TV. Customer support was good too


  • Registered Users Posts: 90 ✭✭kennyt


    55" TV arrived yesterday (ordered from Spanish website). 1 week after the expected date, but probably due to covid.

    Great customer service and communication from power planet, would use them again.

    Early impressions: Delighted with the TV. Played some 4k YouTube content to test it out and it is amazing. Like 3D without wearing the glasses.
    I would attach a photo but it wouldn't do it justice.

    Sound seems fine, although I'm not using it, I have my own surround sound set up.

    TV is fast to load, install apps etc.

    Netflix/Amazon prime pre installed. Simple to install Disney +. No need to sideload.

    I like the remote, like anything it takes a bit of getting used to, but it's fine.

    I had originally planned to have it in spare room for matches etc, but ended up replacing main TV with it.
    So far so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Mine arrived this morning (about ten minutes ago) by anpost, which I have to admit was pleasantly surprising.

    Will open the box to check it's contents and then put it through its paces after a while.

    Yes, €313.60 delivered to Republic.

    Just to second this the RTE player is a piece of ****. I have it on my LG and have give up on it. The amount of adds is shocking and the quality of video is ****e.

    That's unfair. The picture quality is excellent. Granted, I've never got it to play a programme, but the ads are in glorious HD.

    Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday, I'm guessing it will be Monday now, cheers for review, sounds great


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Ok so have mine set up in the bedroom and so far very impressed.

    (2 of my youngest have now commandeered the bedroom watching Disney plus "on the new telly", so I'll have to delay giving it a real run through until later)

    **For anyone else that bought the TV stand brightkane recommended, I'm going to save you some time and frustration now**

    The bolts included with the TV stand package are 6mm and 8mm, but the bolts needed for this TV are 4mm ideally 4mm X 16mm so perhaps plan a trip to woodies etc now so you have them ready beforehand!

    One thing that I was stuck at was pairing the sky Q remote with the TV, so if anyone has a code for that I'd be very grateful.

    Will test all the other features later, but so far looking like the best €140 I've spent in a very long time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Actually on this bit.
    One thing that I was stuck at was pairing the sky Q remote with the TV, so if anyone has a code for that I'd be very grateful.

    It's just occurred to me that the sky Q remote is possibly never going to pair - as I'm guessing the remote that came with the TV is a Bluetooth remote rather than an IR one?

    Oops. :p

    One question for you. On Amazon it shows one homescreen but on this review it shows another one. Can you tell me is the homescreen on yours like the review below?

    Absolutely mint DopeTech, brand spanking. I did resign myself to not having a remote for the thing as I couldn't find it, but one of my kids (who insisted on opening the box while I was assembling the stand) decided he would put it away safely for me in my bedroom top drawer.

    Fingers crossed you have as much luck as I have had with this one.

    well mine just arrived.
    Not good news!!!
    Battered is the word that comes to mind.
    Screen in fooked.
    I presume I contact the seller not the courier company.
    So annoyed, was looking forward to setting it up.
    Ah sure these tings happen.
    Hopefully the second one I orderded in error is in better condition..

    Hey all. Been monitoring this thread as I'm on the lookout for a 4K TV around this size. Very interested in this.

    Just wondering how it might compare to this Hisense one?

    https://www.amazon.de/Hisense-H43BE7000-Fernseher-Smart-TV-Standard/dp/B07RC6B2J8/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&fst=as%3Aoff&language=en_GB&qid=1590511645&refinements=p_36%3A20000-50000%2Cp_n_size_browse-bin%3A9590314031%7C9590315031%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A2711619031&rnid=497868011&s=ce-de&sr=1-2

    Anyone with a better understanding of TVs able to cast an eye over it?
