I think that Sony was the TV that was selling for a very good price the other day at HN and Noel Leeming for around $1150? I was contemplating on whether I should've got it to replace our one and only 7 year 40" Sony TV which costed $1349 back then!

Yep, thats why I ended up with it from HN. The sale was at below New Years pricing pity you missed out. Cheers, Al.

A Little off topic but is this TV from http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x850d the same as http://www.jbhifi.co.nz/tv-lcd-led-plasma/sony/65-inch-ultra-hd-4k-smart-led-lcd-tv-sku-313198/

It is so hard to find corresponding models from review sites

Thanks

Hi this should be the same model, albeit with earlier firmware:

The Sony X700D is a 4k LED TV, with slightly above average picture quality. It isn't good in a dark room due to the low native contrast ratio. On the upside, it can be enjoyed even from a wide angle, and it handles motion well. It also supports a wide range of inputs with low input lag which is good.

Ours is excellent in dark room with black blacks and much improved contrast ratio. The comment about viewing from wide angle applies, and if you were to look at the closest competitor, the Samsung KU6000 which seems to be slightly too bright and no wide viewing angle.
