55MU6100 had design flaw issue? Hhmm..... I about to select this item. On hold....

Well in terms of entry level TV, i do believe Sony has the slight upper edge.

The only plus point for me in Samsung is that the price tend to chop so much more deeper than other brands counterpart.

Also the higher mid range TV for Samsung seems to edge out in terms of panel performance.

Flagship however, I think Sony/LG is doing a much better job with their OLED series, barring in mind the price also 5 digits LOL.

For motion, it is almost a known fact that the Sony TV chip is better (usually), hence why when ppl say they watch football, usually auto recommend Sony TV. Samsung is usually better in terms of color reproduction and contrast.

HDMI Arc LOL, even on my KS7000 it is giving me trouble, usually with older components. Somehow Samsung Product development is top notch, but when it comes to firmware and software support *shakes head*.

In all seriousness though, my KS7000 is performing as what I wanted for the price point I wanted, but boy did i wish they buckle up and get some other things working properly (like for example, stabilize the damn ARC, or roll their firmware update globally, unlike now wait 4 months just to get a damn old firmware)

Yup, what Ngto says. If you select PCM' on the optical would be stereo; 'Bitstream' would be 5.1 (if available).

OLED

This is why the likes of Apple’s model has the upper hand. Make the same hardware, just rollout the same updates worldwide.. I mean, is there some critical component that’s present/absent in Malaysian TVs, compared to that of say the USA or Europe?

Nah I heard rumor that they'll be a firmware update around end of this month that finally will finally separate HDR / Non-HDR profile for Game Mode.

If that really happen, we in Malaysia probably need to wait until after Feb 2018 or some crap to get that firmware LOL.

Very optimistic of you and that’s if they don’t first upload the wrong file on the server.

Samsung Firmware woes LOL.

Even their flagship phone is not spared from this lottery of firmware release XD

For HDR content i try on netflix and guardian of the galaxy 2 i downloaded which has 4k HDR resolution.

On samsung MU6100 the default HDR setting, color i have to re-calibrate because the color produce not very accurate and oh boy the juddering very bad on MU6100. Also I cannot find how to turn off auto dimming on samsung. All eco setting already turn off.

On sony the other hand, It has 2 option for HDR. when I choose HDR vivid, wow the color, picture motion (very little and almost not noticeable juddering) and clearness of the picture are very good. I have no complain. I have not calibrate the HDR setting and leave at default.

Of course this is very subjective issue. Maybe you guys got good MU6100 with no backlight problem.

And I have to give credit to samsung support/customer service and also sen heng SS2 staff for assist me with no anger.

My advice is, when buy new TV, please check the TV at store first before bring back home. Make sure u bring ur own movie and test until u satisfied with the TV.

This sony TV i tested in store and directly pickup from store instead have them deliver to my house.

LOL you can download HDR rips nowadays? I thought the metadata can't be ripped XD

Auto Dimming is basically the edge lightning is it? You probably have the wrong Dynamic Contrast setup prior.

And isnt HDR Vivid = HDR+ in Samsung set?

Hi... i have a LED samsung 5k series model UA40D5000. How can i connect my samsung S7 to this TV? anyone can help? thx

D Series, I believe it around the same era my old ES6220, so I give it roughly 5 to 6 years old?

Sets at that age probably does not support Samsung Quick Connect (I believe Quick Connect only works with 2015 and above TV sets)

You probably need to look into All Share. I remember my old TV can connect using All Share app or Samsung Link app (but iinm Samsung Link app was discontinued LOL)

That model is pre-fancy phone casting toys.. From the specs sheet, looks like it only supports Allshare. Try that instead. You may have better luck casting from a PC. As below.

6303 here, the motion backlighting is shit, makes movies looks inconsistant, the 4k is barely utilised (astro duh), but when streaming 4k content, ohhhhhh boy

Cut your cable. Get Netflix / Amazon Prime XD

farkin streamyx monopoly, limit my area max speed 4mbps, pay 160 every month, even though got like farkin aeon & tescon right outside of my house, want 4k content must download first, put into pendrive, then plug in tv

Can get the advice from sifu here? Does the following model worth the price?

http://www.lazada.com.my/samsung-6534-qled...15f0XDjR9f&ff=1

Sad no Unifi coverage yet. I forgot that Telekom still sucks in terms of coverage.

65 inch is a must requirement for your living space?

If you can live with Curved Screen, KS7500 should have stock there and here (the 65 inch variant should be roughly 8k to 9k now)

EDIT : Just checked, KS9000 still retarded price online HAHA.

Panel wise, more or less equivalent to QLED.

LG OLED is another nice alternative, but I believe their 65 inch variant is going way above RM15k now.

Well I'm not saying QLED is bad, it is a good decent higher mid end tier TV, great response time, great brightness, great contrast.

But at RM12k+, probably can start considering other brands as well.

For example, if you watch live action sport, you defo want to think about Sony set. If you can actually find Z9D (last year model) for a bargain, it's actually a good purchase as well.
