Samsung QLED TV is still LCD panel with LED backlighting. QLED stands for Quantum Dot LED (same concept as SUHD from 2016 but upgraded version) is basically just one layer of filter with tiny particles added in front of the backlighting to better manage the colors to ensure accuracy and range. One enhancement for QLED TV is the peak brightness which can reach 1500nits. This is no different from what is being used by LG for their SUHD TV with so called Nanocells technology.

On the other hand OLED (Organic LED) is a completely new TV panel technology and it will be the future for TV panel. OLED panel is with individual self emitting light pixels and each of the pixels can be switch on and off, achieving true blacks and infinite contrast level that no LED backlighting TV can match, doesn't matter what quantum dots technology is being used. Also OLED TV has got the best color range and accuracy as well as the widest viewing angle. Samsung TV using VA panel which has got limited viewing angle and the side view will have degraded picture quality. Also not forgetting LG OLED support Dolby Vision that required hardware support and not just the software HDR support as that from Samsung.

Between QLED and OLED at the same price, it is a no brainer choice. Don't even need to think which is the better choice. QLED is just another marketing gimmick by Samsung, why all their top end mobiles using AMOLED anyway, anyone complain the their S8 screen doesn't look good? OLED burn in issue? I have seen many OLED display sets that runs 12 hours per day at the shops for months, didn't observed any such issue and both the color and brightness are still top notch. QLED TVs are price even higher than OLED TV which is simply ridiculous.

How much is the KS7000, this is the 55" right? I will get the KS7000 if there is 65" like in other markets.

Completely agreed. I bought my first LED TV, Samsung 55" many years ago when it was just released for ~RM10k vs new set of RM13k. Bought the display set used in the shop for ~3 months to save RM3k. The TV panel spoiled right after 5 years. My other Panasonic LCD TV 3 years older is still running fine as of today.

Now it is harder to find a good 65" TV at reasonable price, the new Samsung MU series is expensive but picture quality can't match that of last year's KS series.

Not sure about build quality but don't think the MU7000 and KS7000 are the same in picture quality. I have seen the KS7500 (curve version of KS7000) and MU7000 both 65" side by side showing the same video, the KS7500 to me is significantly better. KS7000 should be more closer to that from the QLED series. Also among the MU, MU9000 is the best, the only problem is it is curve, not my taste.

What is the lowest price for 65" MU7000? I think it is same or higher than the LG SJ850t which might be a better choice.

Yes, MU7000 65" is at almost RM10k which is ridiculous for such picture quality. MU6100 65" at RM5699 is not special price, 11street is selling for RM5688. But KU6000 is much cheaper.

If curve TV is not a problem, I think the 65" KS7500 can be a good buy, I think Harvey Norman still got stock, price slightly lower than MU7000.

It is very difficult to interpret "good HiFi set that is not so expensive". You got to be very clear on your requirements and budget. Your priority need to be clear, either for movies with 5.1 or 2 channels stereo music. It is not so easy to construct a reasonable set of 5.1 HT below RM5K.

I only know Lazada got it. KS7000 is definitely a good buy but unfortunately the 55" is small for me. I'm looking for 65" flat panel and it is so difficult to get a good one for RM7K-8K budget. Any suggestion?

There is no 65" for KS7000, unless you are talking about 60". Anyway I will check out this weekend. TQ.

Yes, KS7500 65" is easy to find and it cost ~RM9k++ for new set, the main problem is I don't like curved tv.

For the Home Theater set, suggest don't go for the wireless unit, half of the price of the unit will be just for wireless feature and the RM2-3K unit will sound like crap, had one before from Sony. If you can increase your budget to RM2-3K, there are much better option.

LOL....Your HT-6750W will sound like crap if you have the proper HT system. In fact all these thin and tall speakers from the bundled system all sound crap.. hahaha! ATMOS is not only about the AVR, you need support of the ATMOS speakers as well.

If you have budget at even RM2.5K, I can intro a set which will be better than yours. Of coz if you have RM8k budget it will be much easier... hehe! But most HT system are not good for stereo music, you need to add stereo amp.

No idea on this unit but to me for that kind of price I will add few hundreds to 1k and get a better 5.1 HT system.
I suggest you go for an audition and after that try the one below also and share your comment.

I have one of this which I replace the speakers with 2 better bookshelf speakers, it impressed many visitors

Looks like most if not all of us will be looking at the 3 namely Samsung, LG and Sony for a set of TV. However, something changed my perception completely and it is the Pana EX750. The picture quality is as good as the Samsung SUHD but at lower price, fall in love with it when I saw it for the first time. To me it is way better than the MU7000.

Harvey Norman is selling new set at RM97xx.

Haven't bought yet as it is very new into the store, expecting the price to drop after a while.


Very true, a lot of times it is all about human eyes. However, it is not difficult to see the different in PQ when you can compare 2 TVs side by side. Harvey Norman or Best Denki are definitely good place to check out all the models. I personally not impressed with MU6100.

Same for me, Curve is no no.....
for 2017 most of manufacturers are not producing Curve TV anymore, there is no curve TV from LG, Sony and Pana, only left Samsung.

I thought MU6300 is the curved version of MU6100, are both different?
There is nothing exciting about the MU series this year from Samsung, picture quality is really average. Still hard to decide on the right 65" flat TV to buy for below RM10k.

Don't check the models from other countries, we don't get a lot of those TV models available at other countries unfortunately. We can only check the review as the reference, however the specs might be different. Below is the MU6300 for Malaysia:

You are referring to Samsung TV only or all other brands as well. My own experience is Samsung is the worst, my Pana Plasma still perfectly fine after 9 years and my LG LED still like new after 3 years. Samsung LED both display panel and speakers got problem after 5 years.

Still searching for my new 65" flat TV, so difficult to decide on the right one

My Pana Plasma & LG LED (IPS) seems lasting than Samsung LED (VA), my Samsung panel is faulty. Possibility that IPS panel is more reliable than VA panel? Maybe not my own myth

If the 65KS9000 is at almost the same price with the OLED, and it become a better/right choice, it just doesn't make sense to me. Picture quality is not purely about peak brightness, but the contrast (black level), color gamut (rich and natural colors) and response time, viewing angle etc. The peak brightness looks good in the very bright showroom but most peoples don't need that kind of brightness at home, it will be blinding. Also the KS9000 color is very saturated.

The KS9000 is good among the LED TVs but not against the OLED. The feature offered by the LG OLED especially the Dolby Vision is not available in any Samsung TV.

Q7 price now is higher than last year KS7000 at the same time, for the 65" it is even higher than KS9000 and not only KS7500. Don't expect it to drop below RM11K 1st half next year for 65" especially it is the more popular flat screen model. The best bargain will be to find a good display set mid next year when the 2018 models are out.

Btw, there is 65" KS7500 out there at very reasonable price if you don't mind the curved screen.
