OK for the price but the next TV is going to be a brand name
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)The TV is fine, especially for the price point. It takes a while to warm up...sorry, 'initialize' and load all the channel features (such as freeview).
The remote control is a little cumbersome, and menus are difficult to navigate. The wifi had to be reset about once every couple of months for no apparent reason. Although it is supposed to be a smart TV, it's not that smart and I have had to use the Xbox for several apps, such as netflix. Not all codecs are supported on USB.
All in all, ok, but only good for a limited time, before I got sick of all the lag time and unsupported apps/features that required workarounds.
Not the greatest, but okay
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Picture quality varies and is often quite pixelated. Sound is dreadful...speakers are tinny and not good for DVD playback at all. I think you get what you pay for, and I'm sure there's better quality for the price out there. I wouldn't buy another TV from Aldi after this one.

Average but great value
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Picture quality is passable after playing around with settings. Sound is tinny but not too terrible. Tried and failed to get USB playback and PVR recording to work but have a Chromecast Ultra plugged into it so just use that instead (I think Aldi now bundles a Chromecast in with new purchases to overcome the lack of apps/smart functions).
For casual viewing I think it's fine and would much rather have one of these than a high end 32-40" from the likes of Sony or Samsung but if you are in the market for a large TV for watching movies, sport etc then it's definitely worth spending the extra for something with a better quality panel and speakers.

Great Value
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)The TV is great value and I've had no issues with it at all. Kids run PS through it, I play media through the USB, without it missing a beat. The one thing I would recommend is getting a soundbar. The speakers are tinny, and I kinda like my music videos LOUD!!.

Still waiting to get it serviced
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)After having the TV for only 1 month it simply stopped working.
Tried to contact customer support got the run around and then finally sent them the full details bar the model number of the TV.
They reply back and say without the model number we cannot proceed. I mean how many 55" 4K UHD TV's does Aldi sell.
Anybody can do customer service, but great customer service is when they go that little bit further. Never a call, nothing just email and now I have been with out the TV for well over a month.
Not like my Samsung, ring them up all done over the phone and fixed in a week (twice, then a full replacement TV, awesome).
Good value
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)The picture is good
Coupled with a Chromecast or similar device it can become a full smart TV.
The menu and interface has some clunkyness about it.
The EPG is a pain you have to select each channel first whereas other TV's will download the whole guide. This means when you turn it on you have to channel surf every network before you can browse a full guide. That is by far its most annoying glitch and wasn't present on the Samsung plasma i replaced.
But to watch it's good so far i've only had it 3 months...

Good for price
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Nice picture, it is understood tv not a full 4K but looks great for the price.
It is apit slow on change channels or source....
If you like a bigger tv without the big cost it the way to go.
Have I nice matte flat screen so not much refection
Disappointing after sales service.
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Brand new Bauhn has a dead pixel. I asked for it to be repaired or replaced. I made it quite clear I didn't want a refund. Tempo contacted to say it couldn't be fixed and all I could get was a full refund. I said I would take back the TV but I should get a partial refund. The refused, Very unimpressed. I am stuck with either no TV or a faulty one that I paid good money for.

Great Value
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Very happy with all aspects of the product. Picture quality is excellent and there are enough ports to suit all functionality I require. Sound is sharp and distinct. Value wise, I don't think you can past Aldi and Bauhn. This is the third Bauhn TV I've bought from Aldi over the years and have never had a problem with any of them.

A+ value for money
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Really happy with our purchase of this tv from aldi. It has all the perks and it was excellent priced. The view and excellent, clear and sharp. In comparison to other bands this tv was much cheaper with the same or similar specifications. We watch netflix on this tv. Its great, we cannot fault it un any way. This is also the second bauhn we have purchased.

Good TV for the price
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Bought this TV from Aldi recently, and it suits our needs more than adequately. The only exception is the sound. The speakers being located at the back means that the sound is quite muffled. Adding a sound bar should solve this problem, just waiting for Aldi to have them on special buys too. This is a very good TV for the price. Why pay more?

Good Quality for the Price
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)At first I was upset because the picture quality seemed terrible, then I realised a lot of our free-to-air TV is broadcast in low quality. I put on a 4K you tube clip and it was really good! It doesn't have an AV socket which is strange because the function is in the menu, but it has several HDMi plugs in convenient locations. It also has a very sleek design and is very light, this was more noticeable when we had to move our Samsung TV out of the way (so bulky and heavy). Really happy with it, what a great bargain at $499. I had to fight a little Asian lady at Aldi for it, but it was worth it in the end.
One negative thing is that I have a dead pixel, just one tiny one but it bothered me so I have contacted Aldi to have it fixed.

Best value TV there is bar none!
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)TV from Aldi? Pffft, must be terrible right? I bought it intending to use it for the 60-day guarantee till I found a better deal, but loved it out of the box. The detail is incredible! It's a waste of time watching normal TV on it. Get a chromecast and watch some 4K videos on youtube or netflix. Just incredible.
It's not smart, but that's not at all an issue - even the really expensive TV 'smart' interfaces are terrible. With Chromecast (4k version is about $100) you use your phone as the remote, so it's just great.
In my view you are MUCH b
Impressive quality for price
ATVUHD55-1216 (55", Dec 2016)Bought one of these as a quick replacement, was the first 4k TV I had bought, but not first large flatscreen LED. I wasn't sure about buying an ALDI TV but I thought for $499 it was a low risk venture. I'm really impressed with the visual quality of this screen. Very light weight, great styling. Very easy to hook up and impressed with the number of ports and connectivity (4 x hdmi, 2x usb). Has a built in PVR function allows you to pause live TV or record for later.
Only two concerns, the speakers aren't the best. They're certainly passable
... Read moreand the average user might be very happy with it, I just found I definitely need to hook it up to a stereo (It's a minor criticism, a lot of TV's have the same issue as their in built speakers point down or backwards due to a thin bezel). The other minor criticism is the PVR is very basic. It'll only work for the channel you have up now, so you can't watch one record another. Ultimately for $499 it's not a really big issue, it's handy to pause something and come back to and it still allows for movie play back straight off a USB drive / stick.Questions & Answers
Does it have atv?
i have an optical to rca converter plugged in to the optical output in the back of the tv, but sound still being sent through tv speakers. How do I get sound sent through the optical output?
You just have to turn the volume down to Zero on the TV. If you'e not getting sound at your RCA's the problem is probably in the leads or converter.
I'm running optical direct to a pioneer LX83 receiver.
Brought the Bauhn product ATVUHD55-1216 and it doesn't work at al with my PS4. Anyone got an answer or suggestions?
Make sure the PS4 is plugged in to HDMI 1 port on the TV, not one of the other 3 (very important!) If that doesn't work, try changing the HDMI UHD from standard to enhanced in the settings. This TV worked like a charm for us with a PS4 Pro and XBox 360 out of the box. Good luck!
