JB Hi-Fi has just knocked $300 off the Soniq U65VX15A 65″ Ultra HD LED LCD Smart TV. This brings the total to a very tasty $998. Product highlights include an Ultra HD LED Backlit Panel, built-in Wi-Fi and web browser, USB 3.0 for multimedia playback and a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Let’s take a look at the specs.
Alongside Kogan and Palsonic, Soniq is the go-to brand for consumers who don’t have the money or inclination to buy a brand-name TV. At first glance, the U65VX15A has all the hallmarks of a good television – 4K resolution, smart TV functionality, inbuilt WiFi and a massive screen.
But first looks can be deceiving. Here are the main specifications:

Yikes. These aren’t great specs – particularly for gamers and fast-paced sports fans. The number of HDMI ports is also inexcusably stingy.
Still, if you want to hop on the Ultra HD bandwagon’s cheap seat, this is as good a price as you’re likely to find. The inclusion of a PVR means you can record and pause live TV without any complicated doodads – handy for oldies.
