sulimo Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Looking in the latest JB hifi catalog, I a bunch of LCD brands I know nothing about. Some I've heard of before and others I've never even heard of. Anyone know anything about... HiSense. Offering 3 year replacement warranties would seem to suggest someone has some faith in their products. Okano. Never even heard of these guys.

danter Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 If your looking at lesser known brands, the KOGAN LCDs look to offer good value - search for them on ebay - also the Reality brand - Australian company with full 2 year warranty utilizing Samsung panel (as good a panel as the latest Samsungs? not sure).

cyberacc Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 ... Australian company with full 2 year warranty utilizing Samsung panel ... Unless all the electronics are the same as a Samsung I don't think it's reasonable to think of no-name brands as being the same. Additionally a no-name brand distributor may not have the expertise of a large name brand. There is no guarantee that their warranty will be any worth if the distributor goes out of business. I'd stick to the name brands. There are reasons why they have earned a name for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 there also seems to be alot of positive feedback from forum members with regards to the 32" Aiko "no name" brand tv from Big W for $989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Not trying to endorse it, but FYI, HiSense actually is one of the biggest TV brand in China, with very good reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Harvey Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I bought a Hisense HSLC8133AB, 32 inch LCD TV. The sales in JB HI FI told me Hisense is No1 flat panel TV brand in China. Quality is perfect. Value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyte Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Can it do 720p/1080i at 60Hz? Does it have a VGA input? Yes, and Yes. I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would stick my sixpenceworth in. I bought this model yesterday, at Good Guys Kotara. Got it for $989 (down from $1299) which I thought was as good as I would get. I had first been attracted to it because it seemed to have a really decent picturre when running a DVD... Alas they couldnt hook it up to an aerial for the TV, but I took it anyway. It took me a while to get used to the different controls from my usual TV but once the channels were tuned, it was the usual crap output. Hooked up my STB (standard not high def) and all was well with the world. Looking forward to many hours of viewing on this. Its not a Samsung or Sony, but its pretty good for the price, and better than a lot of other cheap no-namers I have seen (eg Centrex). Contrast ratio is only 800:1 so its surprisingly good.

AndrewWilliams Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Not trying to endorse it, but FYI, HiSense actually is one of the biggest TV brand in China, with very good reputation. Likewise, Aiko have been around for at least 15 years that I know of, though they can't even be bothered to create a wikipedia page. I remember a lot of people used to confuse them with Akai in the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
