What is the point of a smart tv that can't download and other apps, like Amazon prime wow usesless and soooooo painful to try and set up smart tv and logging in on that remote is a joke. Get wat U psy for . P.s. has no sound equalising between music and dialogue at all it's actually ridiculous how bad it is Show details

Only had this tv for 8 hours – Tv keeps coming up with no signal once a game goes to load up from the xbox through the HDMI cable. Everything is fine until game goes to load. Going by the other reviews we have brought a shut tv. None of the options are whete I brought this from. Purchased from the Good Guys Springvale Show details

Great priced tv – I am very happy with the tv. It was a really good price so we took a chance on a brand not so well known. It is mounted on the wall in our bedroom, with no difficulty. The picture is good being 4k. It has alot of adjustments to set it up to your own liking.Great size, great price. Show details

Been happy with mine even though I bought it second hand – My TV has not missed a beat so far. It's about 18 months old although I've only had it 2 months. The picture is really nice and the sound is good too unlike the dreadful Bauhn thing I bought from Aldi a couple of years ago. I've not seen any of the issues people speak of here. I am not a real multiple applications guy so I've not done much… Read more

beyond ebay, Youtube etc so I can't comment on that. I haven't even tuned to television stations yet so I can't comment on that either. If I have to get a $40 set top box to connect through HDMI it won't bother me. Some comments here are just wrong. For instance someone said that theirs only accepted numbers in the password field when connecting to their WIFI. Mine had no such issues and that would not vary from one set to another. I did find the remote a bit awkward to figure the functions of but I didn't get a manual with it. Anyway, I'm happy with mine. I only paid $150 for it so if it fails in six months I won't be too bothered. Was going to pick up something second hand for five or six hundred but I saw this on Facebook just around the corner from me and thought what the heck ? Seller was at the door holding the TV an hour later !

Don’t waste your money. Worst tv available – I don’t usually write reviews but wanted to warn others not to waste your money. It is just over 12mths later and we have had to buy a new tv as it simply doesn’t work anymore. From the day we got it the tv sound quality and connection issues were terrible. We tried to return it but the retailer wouldn’t let us as we had unboxed it. When you… Read more

press a button or change channels it takes around 8 seconds before it registers your request. This is the same with all the functions/ buttons on the remote. It seems the remote doesn’t talk to the tv properly. I contacted the warranty company when we first purchased it which gave some reset options but none worked and they wouldn’t provide a refund. It often just stops working and there is no option to use the tv without the control. No on/off button on the tv at all. We have been stuck with this extremely frustrating tv until it finally died today just over a year later. Spend the extra money and buy something else as it will cost more in the long run.

Fantastic quality for the price – I bought this TV from JB HIFI just over a month ago for $500 and I am very pleased and surprised with the quality of this TV. It’s a HDR 4K Smart TV, and the HD TV channels look fantastic. Standard definition don’t look amazing as you’d expect but they still hold up fine and once you watch them for a while you get used to them. The features are… Read more

great, Netflix is built in on the remote and it has a number of other applications including Stan, and the TV itself is also very light. It can easily be lifted by one person. I also have a Hisense 55” inch HD Smart TV which was around $700-$800 and I honestly can’t see much of a difference. I was skeptical purchasing this at first as Ffalcon was a “no brand” TV name to me (I later did some googling and found out this brand is backed by TCL), but I wanted something bigger for the lounge room, and I don’t regret my decision. I use it for normal TV, Netflix and Stan, and also use it to play video games which also look amazing, I couldn’t fault it. More than enough HDMI ports for what I need it for, and also has an ARC HDMI, so I could connect my already existing Soundbar. The speakers from the TV itself are fine, I didn’t notice any static or low buzzing, I just prefer to connect an external sound device for a clearer sound quality and more bass. Set up was easy, I didn’t have any issues and it connected to the wifi without any issues.

My only issues would be that the channel list/selection and guide is a bit slow which may be an issue for some but that’s really not a big deal to me. In addition, the TV legs are made of plastic so there is a bit of a flimsy wobble to the TV. If you have children I would definitely fix it to a wall mount to be safe.

All in all this TV is a 9/10 for me. For the size of the screen, and picture quality and the price I am more than pleased with this purchase.

Great tv works well – Sound quality is great. Setup was very easy. hocked it up to my fetch box and wifi with no dramas. Set up was approximately 10 minutes from the time i took it out of box. Picture quality is great. For lower price range of TVs it packs a punch worth every sent including delivery fee. The smart opions are great although i haven't had time to go… Read more

through them all yet. Great to have 3 hdmi ports its a great addition. The remote is thin and long witch is not to my liking.

Awesome as a large PC monitor – Originally purchased just to have something in the garage but with the shift to WFH last year it got promoted to being used as a 2nd PC monitor and works a treat. At the price cant go wrong

Horrible tv – I brought one of there tvs at The good guys at Aspley. They are fine but the tv is hopeless. It keeps switching itself off. Freezers and gas line across it all the time. It’s under warranty and tlc after contacting them many times. They seems to don’t care at all. They are making all these excuses and keep sending me emails all the time asking… Read more

for things about the tv. I have sent it to them many times but nobody gets back to you. This is the eorst brand I have ever come across and would never ever buy one again. Times are tuff and we haven’t got a lot of money. When you buy something you expect to to work like the good old days. These days nobody cares once they have sold it

Disappointing – Have had this TV for 2 years - always had a problem with TV picking up the remote signals so purchased another remote, new batteries etc - no difference. Now that it has just gone over the 2 year warranty mark it is hit and miss as to whether it will turn on - and if it does it is after a lot of unplugging for certain amount of time and then… Read more

either pressing the TV on button in unison or holding the remote button for 30-60 seconds - usually works 2 days out of 7. It would appear other users of this system have had similar experiences. Would not recommend the purchase of this unit - extremely disappointing!

5 years of great viewing, overall very good for the price – Just sold this screen after 5 years of use, was still working as new. Overall was a great screen for the price. Image was great and never developed any problems. Only issue was i started using a soundbar recently via the optical output and the sound would cut out and just not work right sometimes. Show details

Worst TV ever – I will never buy anything with the FFALCON brand again. Thought I'd buy a TV for the bedroom so bought the ffalcon. Their licencing is cheap and other than Netflix, youtube or Stan, there's nothing more to can do with your TV. I can't watch disney+ or Prime. I can't even just watch them through the TVs browser because it's a terrible browser and… Read more

Shame on ffalcon for being so bad and taking people money. Such a bad tv.

Don't waste your money – Brought this TV almost 2 yrs ago.... thinking it was a smart TV.. unfortunately it's not really a smart TV... yep you can get Netflix and Stan and Utube, but that it.... attempted to install Disney 7plus 9now... but unable to install as this television isn't compatible... Television also has a habit of turning itself off when you change the channels... save your money and pay that bit extra. Show details

Rubbish! – TV is only 18 months old. Screen has been dimming for while, and now it switched itself off and it won't switch back on. Remote batteries changed, unplugged, power is getting to back of TV but not to the part that switches it on. Don't waste your money on this rubbish - Good Guys should not be selling this junk. Show details

Absolute piece of rubbish – Worked for about a year, now impossible to load Netflix or YouTube. I’ve refreshed the cache numerous times, restarted, turned off etc. you have no ability to load other apps. Just a piece of wasted plastic. Shame on you JB hi fi - this is a piece of overpriced junk. If you can catch an Aldi special deal, you have a far superior product in their TVs. Show details

Worst TV I have ever bought – Worst Tv ever, bought in Jan 2020, last few months kept turning itself off in the middle of a program, now just won’t work all won’t turn on. I’m a Pensioner and expect something like a TV to last a lot longer that it has, looking at the reviews these TVs should have been recalled and we should have got a refund, now I have to go and buy a new TV, something that I didn’t really want to do, I definitely won’t be going to JB Hi Fi for a new one Show details

FFalcon has no wings – Have had it for 2years and just put it out in the rubbish the response time from the remote I could make a coffee before it worked that's in-between the tv going to a black screen and having to unplug it from the wall to reset it. Do not recommend this brand I brought a 50inch and a 30inch the 30 is worse a total waste of money it shouldn't be aloud to be sold. Show details

Poor warranty – Tried to call the warranty company which is through TCL and they told me my warranty for my TV was void because the lcd screen had lines through it and they continued to tell me the I fiscally damaged it when I have only had the TV for 6mths. Do not buy one of there TV's as the warranty does mean crap to them. Show details

Worst Tv ever – The tv frequently freezes and struggles to turn on. There is significant lag between hitting an option with remote and the tv responding. The colour is display is disappointing and you can’t watch movie with too many black tones/night scenes in it. The screen will often just go black mid show. Has been doing this since it was less than 6months old. Cheap piece of rubbish, save your money. Show details
