| 1449540 | 2018-05-14 23:46:00 | Hi all The following 2 options are for the "Man Shed", i.e. watching the odd game, locking the grandchildren in with a PS or X whatever ... so your thought's on the following would be appreciated. 1) Sony (www.thewarehouse.co.nz) 2) Veon (www.thewarehouse.co.nz) I have the main AV theater underneath the East Wing with all the latest gear, plus the Bar, Spa, Sauna, on-call Masseuse, Pole, etc., ... just the usual stuff the wife doesn't know about ... :devil |

| 1449541 | 2018-05-14 23:59:00 | Its $800 vs $500 a generic brand with better specs . Feet look a bit fragile a known brand with lower specs , but still good enough for a man shed. It still may have a better picture ??? Sony only has a 1 year warranty, thats an indication of what sony thinks of it :-) Veon does even state the warranty. Go in and see how they look & how they sound . See if both are wall mountable. See if inputs with be blocked off/hard to access if wall mounted . I'd buy the cheaper one. Its almost 1/2 the price since its only a man shed TV |

| 1449542 | 2018-05-15 00:13:00 | I bought a Veon for the bedroom because of the price. I'm pretty happy with it. There's some light bleed around the edges from the backlight but you don't really notice except when the screen goes black but all in all it has a pretty good picture and is easy to use. It's very light and plasticy but it does the job. I expect the Sony is probably a little nicer and better build quality, the question is does that make it worth the price difference to you. |

| 1449543 | 2018-05-15 00:38:00 | The Sony is the obvious choice however we have only Veons because of the price. They are more than adequate with good picture quality. We game on them and no problems, I like them and the price is right. In my circle of friends there are 6 Veon's, all working ok for years now, all sizes, from a 12 inch, 17 inch, 24 inch, 27 inch to a 34 inch. Can't seem to find another 12 inch, great for putting between shelves on a bookcase to watch off to the side whilst computing. The 12 inch was the first one we got years ago for about $120, still going strong used everyday. Wish I could get another two or three at that price but haven't seen any and the Warehouse staff look blank when I ask for a small size and say it doesn't exist. Very cheap to run especially the smaller sizes, we go to sleep with them on and wake up with them still going, they have an auto swicth-off after 3 hours, this can be adjusted. The only problem I had was a remote getting dodgy on the sound control so the Warehouse gave us a new remote under the CGA as it was only 2 years old at the time. |

| 1449545 | 2018-05-15 00:53:00 | I wouldn't spend 500 of anything, especially dollars, on anything electrical from the warehouse. But if you have to, an extra three hundy on a reputable brand like Sony would be like an insurance policy. It gets my vote. |

| 1449546 | 2018-05-15 01:06:00 | No question. Panasonic. Ok, not on your list, in which case the Sony. Veon never. |

| 1449547 | 2018-05-15 04:14:00 | well all the tv's were under 450 dollars In the end of the day you just watching tv do you need to justify spending alot of cash on a expensive tv. A computer yes, car but Tv? |

| 1449548 | 2018-05-15 10:29:00 | Features, the Veon. I would prefer the extra HDMI rather than lose it for another USB port as Sony has done. The Veon is 4k UHD while the Sony is 2k FHD. I've had no problems with Veon and also got curious to see what was inside them, so far I see that most of the TVs I've opened up had LG parts in it (They do use others so I've heard). I rate LG as having the best TVs. Veon can't be rated that high though because the TVs are assembled quite poorly (not a fire hazard, just ugly placement of things), but if they last their warranty, it was worth saving that little bit extra on them. So I would go Veon as it seems more modern. |
