Got the new LED 106cm Bauhn last week. Beautiful picture and colour but still getting use to viewing movies on this set. It seems to have some sort of image enhancing software where characters really stand out while watching a movie.
After watching Avatar on DVD, it almost looks like a documentary – a little weird. There seems to be no way of disabling this feature but I am starting to get use to it.
Also since installing the tv last week, I have noticed that a single short beep sound via the speakers is heard after changing stations. It is intermittant and is causing me a little concern.
Have checked with Aldi after sales support and they have never heard of it. The tv is connected to a booster. If others are making that sound, I don’t think I would really worry about it. Please let me know.
G’day Ian
I also purchased a set last week,in Australia, (no beep)….
Hi Ian,
Mine too makes a beep, not sure but think it seems to occur when changing between HD and SD. Have not tested this,otherwise, I have to say I am pretty pleased with the set. Just setting up a HTPC for it, want to view those .mkv files!
I might look into setting up a HTPC. My previous TV was connected to an amp but I can’t with the Bauhn as it has no audio out (except earphone). I would like to be able to watch a movie with surround sound, thanks for the advice.
Hi there
Am looking at purchasing this but am concerned about if it breaks outside the two year warranty. Has anyone enquired with Bauhn as to their ability to do repairs in Australia should something go wrong outside of warranty?
I have two Bauhn TV’s myself, and your question is a good one, something I hadn’t even considered.
At a guess, I would say that most TV repair places will be able to handle any repairs on this brand, which I would assume is just another re-branded ‘other’ brand.
A quick call to your local TV repairer should answer your question. I may do the same, although too late to change if the answer is negative !
I recall reading that some of the Bauhn models have a Samsung Panel. I don’t dare open mine up to see
My view on these TV’s is that they are damn good value for the money, and the ALDI 60 day return option, allows real testing, rather than looking at it for 5 minutes in a TV shop.
as I am hard of hearing I require teletext. I am considering this unit and would like to know if it has teletext/captions. Ian
hi guys,

thx.

Have just purchased Bauhn 42″ led from aldi. am very happy with picture and sound but have discovered an unusual extra – it randomly turns itself on! anyone else having similar issues or any ideas as to why?
That sounds like a fault to me.
I have 2 Bauhn’s, but not the LED yet, and if I was having that happen, I would be getting it swapped out.
But one quick thought, probably not relevant, but it did happen to us….
Instead of turning off the TV one night, we turned off the PVR, which of course made it appear that the TV had turned off.
When the PVR turned itself on later, to record a program, the TV of course responded with Video and Audi, making us jump, and wonder why the TV had just turned itself on… Until I realised what had actually happened… ooops
My Led TV is connected to my PC and automatically turns the TV off when it shuts down. This is a commomn feature when using it as a monitor. Can’t think of any other reason your TV would turn off.
I am not happy using the PVR function for a long movie, am using a 16 GB USB flash drive and when I watch it back, the sound goes way out of sink. I was thinking this could be a problem with the USB stick? Also sometimes just watching regular tv, the sound goes slightly out of sink with the picture, changing stations using fixes this.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Has anyone had any trouble with HDCP? I tried plugging in my foxtel IQ with an HDMI and it came up with a message “HDCP not compatible”. What does this mean? is there anything I can do about it?
some sound video sync issues observed with DVD’s
Has anyone connected the TV to an amp/home theatre system? Appears to have only one output i.e. earphones.
I’ve connected my home theatre system via the earphone output and it works fine. The audio cable adapter comes with tv. The only thing problem is that you have to unplug it when not in use (amp or H Theatre) otherwise you wont have any sound from the TV.
That’s about half the cost of LEDs others of the same size, but the contrast ratio is a concern. It is still too low and that's probably why TV is cheaper than others.
I have purchased the led this week and it keeps turning itself on. Did anyone find out what I do to change it
TV blew up in less than 2 months with very little use. receipt was destroyed by accident and even though it was clearly shown on bank statement TEMPO who supply Aldi very unhelpful. Even though compliance plate showed TV only 4 months old they refused help. Aldi were helpful but I wish they still sold Tevion which I never had problems with – so much for not buying online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my remote is broken. Where can I get another that will work with this brand?
I bought a LOGITECH Harmony 300 Remote recently, and it works well with my Bauhn TV. The cost should be about $40, but is sometimes cheaper.
Some of the buttons are programmable via the computer. You do need to do the original set up using a computer, via its USB connection. My Harmony 300 remote now replaces both my Bauhn TV remote and my Topfield PVR remote.

Had it just over 12months.
Was happy at first but patience is now running thin.
Yes, has beeped from new, only if running through the dtv. To stop that, run through a pvr.
Yes, Turns itself on in the middle of the night probably three times a week, with volume blaring, unless you have a pvr connected and turn the pvr off as you call it a night. No good if your pvr has to be on to start a recording.
For surround sound, connect amp etc through the DVD, or pvr, media centre and connect vier hdmi.
Lately the tv has started pausing, I have to turn off at power and restart. and if you use the usb to charge anything the tv needs to be restarted.
Not real happy after only 1 year.
Will contact the after sales team and post there response.
