I guess I got lucky.
I had mine for just over 4 years, after which it would seems the backlight hardware started playing up (on/off issues). I need to point out that I was using that TV as my PRIMARY for everything, so it has up-times easily over 12+ hours a day, acting as as PC monitor most of the time and watching TV shows and movies the rest of the time, and even RIGHT NOW, I had won an extended 1 Year warranty from an online competition, and Soniq is repairing it for me, like I said, I guess I got lucky.
The only issue I've ever had with Soniq - I've had a f...Read more
ew of their TV's - has been that the sound quality of the speakers has never been more then average, and the contrast on the blacks is not as high as "expensive" TV's, but seriously people, Soniq TV's are cheap, they do the job, and you are not technically buying anything other then a 12 month warranty, so expecting 5+ years is totally unreasonable, from a ~$300 TV set. I consider myself lucky to get 2y normally on ANY hardware, after which, I upgrade. You should only expect 5+ years on TV's over $2000, and even then, the store will make a warranty decision on the day, as almost no brands offer a "standard" warranty of 2-3 years on anything other then top dollar models.Similar opinion?

Don't buy this tv
This TV lasted 14 months... not good for price. Display cut out. Cost to fix will be too much, you may as well buy a new $400 (NZ dollar) TV at that point anyway.
Not to mention that 50hz in a cheaper TV like this can't handle displaying video games well on the PS4 which is made to play in 60Hz. Soniq is off-brand, next time we'll buy one that isn't off brand, like Panasonic, at least their similarly priced TVs would be able to handle displaying PS4 games. It was a family purchase for general use in the lounge - playing movies, video games, TV channels - all that jazz - Terrible and not worth it, glad this series was discontinued...
Recommend checking reviews online first before buying and making this mistake.

Terrible
My daughter bought this Tv which she saved for . Has not lasted, just has a blank screen and no sound anymore . Would not buy a Soniq again. Obviously not quality made. A lot of money for a kid to spend and it doesn't last more than 2 1/2 years.

2.5 years maximum operational life.
Purchased this model in February 2014. Worked fine for the first two and a half years, then it began to stay in standby mode. Initially the TV would come on if the power was turned off once, then it progressed to turning the power off multiple times to get it out of standby mode. Eventually it would not get out of standby mode at all. The TV was cheap but I expected it to last a bit longer than 2.5 years. No more Soniq products for me.

Piece of Crap
TV constantly fails. Doesn't turn over, won't turn on. It's a disgrace. Never ever buy anything from this company. They clearly have no idea how to build TVs that work.
Since purchase, it has stopped working at least 15 times. Try to update software and it works for a week, then fails again. Never ever buy anything from this company. They clearly have no idea how to build TVs that work.

Good tv had no issues
I purchased this tv on a budget and didnt expect anything spectacular. Had it for almost 2 years now and havent had any issues so far, apart from some distortion from speakers when volume up high as of recently. Thats ok because im getting a soundbar anyway. Plus all tv speakers are poor quality so no biggy. Pros: Picture is always crisp and clear whether im watching tv, dvd/bluray or playing ps4. It reads all video formats i can throw at it and has 4x HDMI ports. Cons: non smart tv but can use chrome cast or ps4 for apps. lacks audio output po...Read more
rts, only has optical out and thats it, not even a coaxil or headphone jack. EPG is basically poo. Doesn't support hdmi arc either. Overall you get what you pay for and i paid $499 from jbhifi for a tv that has served me well for 2 yrs on going.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Serioùs quality reviews and replacement immediatly paid all by soniq plus $ 100 cash
The tv is exceptable when it was functioning properly, however soniq claims their tvs are excellent products, with this model many failures any tv not lasting fully 3 years must be immediately replaced or better model supplied on the spot once examended by tech in purchases home, no expense to customer for anything full replacement with 3 year full warranty!! Soniq MUST restore customers satisfaction and faith in their products if soniq cannot accept the truth about this model tv and replace or fix it no charge than you will loose many potential customers, i have worked in marketing no product faith no chance no sale no Soniq Rise above soniq your shortcomings Please!!

Total Junk - will not turn on.
Soniq TV, would have to be one of the worst i've seen. Cheap, nasty and unreliable. internally, extremely sparse mainboard which has failed. Stuck in standby, won't turn on. Look it up, google this model and they all fail in the same way. Clearly a design issue. They say you get what you pay for but with Soniq, barely.
Stay away from this brand

Used handful of times then tuner blew.
18 months old tuner went, put set top box on it then speakers went! Used in spare room about ten times! Load of rubbish, should have gone with gut instinct with cheap and nasty brand. Never again back to Panasonic. Picture was fine when it worked, sound horrible. Not much more to say.

Lasted 6 weeks
I brought this online through JB. It was a refurb and too cheap not to buy. Really wanting to replace my CRT but no money to do so, if I got 2 years out of it I'd be happy. Like other reviews, the picture quality was amazing, the sound a bit tinny (which I could put up with), the EPG was annoying AF only being able to view the current time, and the remote was really good. Then I was watching it, paused to get my pizza delivery, came back and it was off, or so I thought. Turned it back on, started watching again then shortly after I saw the scre...Read more
en quickly fade to black, but this time with sound because this time it was still playing. Turned it off and on again. Unplugged everything then started again. Always sound no picture. Thankfully JB was very good and took it back and repaid me in full (after a bit of haggling with the service guy who was happy to palm it off to Soniq until I showed him an email from the store manager, then it was all puppies and kittens). I had already earmarked another (new) model to buy when I got my refund but now realise this brand is not worth the paper it's written on.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

It Was OK For 6 Months
Worked OK for 6 months, the sound is pretty terrible & now I have trouble turning it on as there is something dodgy with the power cable which seems to be a common problem.
I wish I did not purchase it online as it is still under warranty however where I bought it from is an 8 hour round trip just to drop it off for repair and then another 8 hour trip to pick it up again.
It will actually cost me less to buy another TV & I definitely won't buy this model again or purchase online as the customer service is ridiculous.
Lesson learned I suppose.

Great TV for under $500
My first one broke after 1 year and 3 months. But I had extended warranty and I use the option to buy the same one again because it was a great TV. It plays all the files I have on my USB rmvb, mkv,xvid,divx,mp4. Sony can't even play all these files.
It has all the essential functions. It may not have a great EPG to let you see whats on it the next 2 hours but you can download that app anyway.

TV no good
Purchased the TV 18 months ago and no longer works. We get no picture. JB HiFi wants nothing to do with it. Don't purchase this brand.

The worst television I have ever owned!
I purchased this product on 18th October 2014 and it failed on 2nd December 2014 with no picture on any channel but the sound O.K. I registered the fault under the e-warranty process with Soniq and was told to take it back to where I purchased it. I did this and they gave me a new TV - the same model. This one lasted less than 3 weeks. I failed with the same problem. Again I was told to take it back. How many times can they put their customers through this?

Bad resolution
We got ours today and even though it state that it has high resolution it is framed and pixelated. The picture quality is fuzzy and even though it was only a little over $300 for a 40" I would expect to be able to watch a tv show without it looking like it was recorded off a mobile phone. Wouldn't buy one again.
Price, easy to assemble, nice and easy remote.
Resolution bad, fuzzy like picture. Almost like watching a cam copy DVD when watching tv shows.
