4k had just been launched not too long before that, and while other TVs of that size and 4k were expensive, it made $500+ a good deal. Worked fine, easy to use, never once broke down. Color was off though... super 'red'.. tried adjusting it, but didn't help much. Sound was ok. As did not expect much for that price, it served its purpose. It's been 4 years and the TV is still going fine. It has so far survived 2 moves/relocations, and no issues.

We got this in aldi thinking it was a good deal. Always was slow to turn on. For the 2 years we had it it wasn't even used that much.. maybe every other day. Yet it barely lasted 2 years. It started flickering and then the sound went. Then it just would not turn on at all! Should've kept receipt as i think there was a 2 year warranty on it

Display panel very annoying, shows channel I.d. In big letters - pointless as this also appears elsewhere on screen
Actual name of program showing is microscopic - pointless as you need to move close to read it.
Picture quality is reasonable for a cheap unit, bought to watch in bed.

My AS-47fhd1 tv failed 1 month outside the warranty and this isn't my beef...Took the thing to a registered technician and he said 2 printed boards needed replacing so OK I contacted Aldi and after 1 week and many phone calls the contact was given to me by a person in P.R . Tempo Aust p/l . supplied wrong parts and charged me 150.00 then told me to go whistle over the phone,Tech needed $400.00 to cover labour and Aldi closed all contact with me, wouldn't answer the phone calls, TV went in rubbish bin with my money.Have bought 4 electrical items from Alidi and I now say they are the greatest Land fill Company in Australia and won't be buying anything from them EVER again. 1 very unhappy EX customer . NCS.

same. i bought mine from thornleigh, having waited since 7am saturday morning. Picture quality and sound quality are absolute rubbish.
going back today. How can they sell something so obviously crap ?
I buy a lot of their stuff, usually very good quality, definately not so when it comes to TV's.

Waste of time and money, quality of picture terrible and lots of shadowing regardless of how much time fiddling with tuning, even a tv tech couldn't tune it to watchable standard, save up and buy a better tv from a dedicated tv retailer!!! Aldi for grocery shopping leave the electronics to the experts.

For the first 3 years I manually turned it on/off with side button, then that broke, had to turn it on/off at the wall. Now it's died completely and have been quoted $300 to replace power
board. Do I get a new 55" Bauhn at Aldi's next Saturday for $799 (same price as original)
3 years ago??? I don't think so!
It's back to a reputable brand (Sony) at $1200 for me tomorrow............Sorry Aldi!

The screen developed a tapered10mm vertical stripe which had five randomly spaced(30-50mm) black blobs along it.
This all happened about six months after it was purchased. Being a gift the docket had disappeared by then so haven't bothered to pursue a warranty claim as yet, but I would dearly love to!

My Aldi brand Bauhn TV was just out of its 1 year warranty when have the screen turns either black of coloured vertical stripes... what a waste of money for something that only worked for 1 year... wouldnt bother again!!!! go with a trusted brand where you can extend the warranty...
Nothing ....its broken !!!
Half the screen is black or coloured vertical stripes.

Dont buy one they are dangerous. Ours cracked off the stand and landed on the floor in the middle of the night. Imagine the accident that could have happened if a toddler was running around at the time. The tv is ruined of course as it hit th concrete floor. The plastic stand sheared off and the tv was only purchased 3 months ago. My partner paid cash when he bought the tv. Now we are trying to find receipt which to me is irrelevant as these tvs are aldi tvs and need to be recalled. Money should be refunded regardless of a receipt.

Dangerous. Plastic stand unsafe. These tvs need to be recalled before someone gets hurt.

I like this TV so much, even though it it doesn't have the the crystalline clarity of the much more expensive models. One of my mates, an IT professional and tech freak came over, scoffed when he recognised the Aldi label "Bauhn". But when he watched it he said, "Why would you bother paying more for a TV? Its ridiculously cheap." Hell, I can only agree.
Note - I have been told that there is a lag time if you use it for gaming, but that's what my PC is for.
Cheap, great value.

Colours are fantastic and vivid. Watching sport such as AFL no problems with blurring or pixelation. Remote easy to use and PVR function easy to use. I have spent a couple of thousand more before and this tv at 599 is a steal. Not a cheap and nasty crappy product. I am so lucky to purchase one. Added two year in home service you can't go wrong.
quality of picture, value for money.

Great tv but wish I could figure out why when I turn it off it also turns off my Sony hdd dvd recorder I have been trying for a week to get tech to call me from service and aldi
inexpensive
bad service

Great TV! We are really happy with the quality, the picture is clear and sharp. I especially like the fact that you can copy movies from your pc onto USB and the TV accepts this. No more haveing to put them on disks. This TV ws $799, we saved absolute hundreds! Dont be fooled by the guys selling big brands for $1700, its a waste of money. Will be lining up at Aldi again if they bring out a smaller one for our bedroom!
Excellent buy, great price.
so many people missed out of this one! You had to be at Aldi at 8am in the morning and get a ticket. Sold in a few minutes

I purchased this TV from ALDI when it was on special for only $799 and have had no regrets since.

Aside from the great quality of the TV itself, the remote control is well made, the HD (cable) makes my PS3 games look amazing and I can record and transfer TV shows from the TV to the computer and vice versa. You can even delete an episode from the USB stick as you watch them.

Absolutely fantastic product. If you can get one you won't be disappointed! Much cheaper than the competition and just as good quality wise.
Cost effective, light, nice looking, great quality, TV recording.

Got this on 28/07/2011 Eastlakes NSW for $599. Pallet emptied fast! Everything works accordingly. Very happy with the price, easy setup and picture quality is good. This will do for the next couple of years or more.
Inexpensive, easy setup, good remote and easy navigation, picture quality is good.

We also bought the Bauhn 47" DTV and are very happy with the performance. Why fork out hundreds and more dollars for a brand name when this one does us nicely, with technology being obsolete within a few years paying less is best as one can upgrade to newer stuff on the money one saved.
But we never had any "bad" products from ALDI here in Australia and Germany.
inexpensive

Turned TV on first time RED line smack down the middle of the screen. Contacted store they told me to ring the number on the warranty card 3 days of trying to contact warranty people still no luck.
most of the picture looks ok
non existent warranty service
