Internet keeps dropping off and freezing - terrible support from TCL Australia – Do not buy keeps freezing and when I contacted to get it replaced (within warranty) I am getting the run around with lots of questions and when I answer keep asking me the same questions again. This rubbish support is from TCL. Having persisted the run around they are asking me to take the TV to good guys to test. I have said that I don’t think… Read more
good guys are going to sit there testing TVs
Pay the extra 100 or so for a brand other than falcon or TCL. Tv is still freezing think I have to give up and throw away the tv. My sanity is worth more than the $300.
TCL if you are seeing this case no is 330278
Piece of absolute rubbish – Absolutely a piece of junk my son bought his very own tv and it last 12 months and when we rang the company they said it’s out of warranty prob’s not worth getting it fix! Piece of crap don’t waste your money Show details
lasted 13 months then not switching on – Junk just made it out of warranty then not switching on seems to be a common complaint Show details
great tv great price – great tv easy to use .the apps are great love my tv Show details
The worse smart TV ever invented!! – This is a very accurate review. Do not buy this TV if you plan on using it for steaming services (Netflix, Disney, Prime etc). Its smart services are cheap and nasty and just a patch job so it can attempt to be a smart TV. It’s so unreliable, so many networking and wifi connection issues, everytime you turn it on you will spend 2 hours trying to problem solve the bloody device (and I’m a computer engineer). Go buy an LG lol!! Show details
Most unreliable tv – Most unreliable junk tv. Dont waste your money. Its cheap for a reason, cos its absolute rubbish. Lasted just until warranty period ran out. Show details
12 Months warranty - Died at 15 months – Great TV while it worked. Picture quality great - wifi connection perfect. Stopped working after 18 months. Smart TV - it knew exactly when to die. Obviously, poor quality somewhere. If I could give it less than 1, I would. Show details
Avoid - Cheap but Rubbish TV – Purchased from JB Hifi on sale. The salesperson basically said that Ffalcon TVs are crap but as it was cheap and only used for a kids room, I went ahead and purchased anyway. Wish I had've listened to the guy at the store as my TV lasted just over a year, with very minimal use. Funny how it crapped itself just out of warranty. Show details
Please don't buy- Cheap but will fail after an year – Bought this TV from JB Hi-fi as found it cheap. Soon after the warranty period was over the display doesn't turn on. The TV doesn't have any button on it to test so I bought a new remote thinking that it's a remote issue but the even with the new remote the standby LED turns on without any display. Seems like it's a common issue with Ffalcon… Read more
models. So even if you get it repaired the module will fail after few months. Either JB Hi-fi needs to stop selling such products or find a solution for this rather getting customers paying for such things. Really disappointed. Buy it at your own risk . If you are lucky it will work. I must admit while it was working the TV was value for money but when you consider the repair cost and downtime, I would say to stick to better brands
Cheap yet great tv – We have 2 x 65" smart ffalcon tvs and I couldn't be happier. The picture is clear and crisp. Sounds fabulous. Easy to use remote. I have had no issues with this TV in over 2 years. It was so good we bought a 2nd one Show details
Great value for money – I use it for Foxtel and Netflix and it’s great and never lets me down it has plenty of HDMI ports . I don’t use any of the smart tv functions but it suits me fine Show details
waste of purchase – Had for a few months turned on to watched Netflix all the programs come up then switched off as decided not to watch . Next time turning on using the remote only the brand name came up on screen falcon then the screen goes blue no sound either. Will not turn off using remote control need to turn off at main switch. Been sitting on floor for the past 8 months as didn't buy local hard for me to return would definitely not recommend. Show details
Excellent and very fast solutions to Tech issues – Purchased a new FFalcon TV today and had issues setting it up. I called the service hotline and was immediately put through to KEN who solved everything quickly. Very Happy! Show details

Terrible… – Internal screen failure in less than 2 months,requested a replacement,was told no I damaged it,they’ve seen it before,it’s ridiculous ,And should you be regularly seeing the same fault?,they have no desire to assist or resolve the issue,even when JBHIFI agreed it was screen failure?go figure hey?great product while it was working,very disappointing service when the product fails.

Nothing very smart about it – You get what you pay for. the actual model of the TV may not be 100% accurate but I got a 40 and 50 inch of the FFalcon and they are both not as good as i would like. i got this TV as it was cheap, but i wish i hadn't. the Netflix option always crashes the TV and i can't really use it as a smart TV at all unless i want to use Indian apps and… Read more
stuff like that(not being nasty but they are all Indian) i can't get to use Disney Plus as you cant search for it on the TV's App store etc. Spend an extra $100 and get something that is actually a smart TV that has full functionality. the TV is perfectly good just don't expect the smart functions to be any good, but for hooking up to a console or just watching tv it would pass but im not happy as i can't access some of the apps my kids use which was the point of the new tv's
Great budget TV - Excellent for games, movies and whatever else – We wanted to buy a second TV for the games room so kids can watch cartoons and play Nintendo games. We went to JB Hi Fi and thought we were going to have to buy a much smaller TV or pay at least $500 for a 40 inch TV. Luckily we found the Ffalcon 40F1 that was on sale for $250. When we brought it home it was very easy to setup and use. It is… Read more
one of those products that is so easy to use you don't need to look at the operating manual, although one was provided.
The picture quality has been great, it is a smart TV so connecting Netflix through the phone to the TV is easy when kids want to watch cartoons and there are plenty of HDMI cables for game consoles and the like.
This is the type of product where you will have no regrets about the purchase as it is such great value and the picture and sound quality is still very good. I bought a Soniq in the past as a gift for someone and the sound quality was not great and it kept switching off when we flicked the stations. There were no little issues that you need to ignore with this TV just because it was so cheap.
Great value – Television is the perfect size for our bedroom, for the price it has sufficient apps and operating system. The remote is easy to use and has sufficient ports. Good value purchase. Show details
Great tv for the price – Great tv for the price , can’t complain about the quality . Has the apps you need for a standard smart tv. Wireless connection works well and enough hdmi ports for DVD and gaming consoles Show details
Buy the Extended Warranty – We purchased our 40" Ffalcon in August 2019, but because it was an "unknown" we purchased the additional 2 Year Extended Warranty. It ran perfectly until yesterday, when we lost the picture. The trouble shooting section of the Manual says to adjust the Contrast and Brightness, but this of course is impossible to do when you have no picture to… Read more
see what you are adjusting!!! To cut a long story short, within 3 hours, we had a free new replacement at home - following a stress free simple process validating the Extended Warranty. My sincere thanks to JB HiFi for this excellent service, but definitely recommend taking out the Extended Warranty, which we also did for the replacement. New one is functioning perfectly, but the "Channel Information Box" at the top of the screen has changed between models, and the name of the program has been deleted from the Box. Very frustrating.
Great budget TV for bedroom – For the price you can’t beat it! It has the main apps such as Netflix, Stan, YouTube and a host of others apps. It was easy to set up. At first I thought the picture was not that good, but after playing around with the many picture settings I got a really good picture. Very happy with this purchase. Show details
Affordable and good quality tv – We purchased this tv for our bedroom as our old tv became faulty after seven years. We are impressed with the quality of an unknown brand. It’s cost efficient and suited our budget well. It was simple to set up. We can access our usual: Netflix and YouTube. Very happy with this purchase. Show details
Perfect – For $300 it's perfect it sounds great looks very smart it's nice and flat not chucky or thick sure its not small but with a chrome cast your set it's in my bedroom and I love it Show details
Great value and excellent performance for the money – I needed a spare TV as our old one had packed it in.... not wanting to spend too much on a spare, I found the Ffalcon appealing due to its performance and value. Happy with it's performance thus far. I hooked up a Vodafone TV box to it and it hasn't faltered. Highly recommended and great value on special for $248 from the Good guys. Show details
The Perfect Delight in COVID-19 Lockdown – I purchased the FFalcon 40F1 40" Full HD on line, so it was delivered home. As we can't have people coming into our homes, I set it all up alone, including screwing it onto the wall bracket. It is relatively light and easy to handle. As the manual is printed in very small print, I got the online manual where I could enlarge the print. It is… Read more
very clearly laid out and also easy to follow. New to me were the USB connection, two HDMI ports and the aerial. There are also coloured sound ports which I do not understand. Now I sit here and all the streaming that we are doing in this lockdown is able to be viewed very clearly and sharply on the big screen. Navigating through all the menu and sites is so easy, even for me. And connecting the computer to the TV was also super easy. I am delighted every time I watch it.
