The TV RM 2.3K and UHD Blu-ray player RM 1k.

Another two monitor is for PC usage. Haha.

I never though I can found the UHD Blu-ray player as nearly don't have in JB market. I so happy when found it with RM 500 discount. Finally I can playback my UHD Blu-ray.

Yup I get from SenQ RM 949.00 with 2 years warranty also.

Yup that the model.

No issue playback at the UHD Blu-ray player but just the interface cannot find and choose 2nd partition of the HDD.

The Panasonic TV interface is much better and able to choose 2nd partition of the HDD.

I not buy online. Panasonic is default preset on more natural color instead of very vibrant. But all this can be tune to your preferable.

It is better compare by yourself and decide as different people different preferable.

For me this Panasonic is very great on up-scaling STD contents. It is very well done. The only cons I can said is they is a very slight light border shadow on this EX600 model.

• Sony X70E - It is nice but far more expensive and not running Android TV like others Sony this year TV, only start from X80E is Smart TV running Android TV OS.
• Samsung MU6100 - I never like low end Samsung TV as it was not good.
• LG UJ630 - I love LG new design remote which is very easier for input. LG WebOS design also much appealing. I initial is intend to buy LG TV. Support 2 out of 3 HDR format (HDR10 and HLG). The Smart OS is WebOS.
• Panasonic EX600 - End up I choosing this and no regret. Just the only cons part to me is that very slight light border shadow. Support 2 out of 3 HDR format (HDR10 and HLG), website only mentioned support multiple format and I already test it confirmed is support HDR10 and HLG. The Smart OS is Firefox OS (now already purchase by Panasonic).

They is 3 HDR format in market. HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG. HDR10 is the very common format and now all HDR TV is support it, awesome output quality, UHD Blu-ray is on this HDR10 format. Dolby Vision as I know only the LG OLED TV support it, so far as I know only Apple TV HDR is on this format even though it is the best ever did. HLG is the selected format for broadcast.

You can get a lot HDR sample to test here - http://4kmedia.org/

Depends on your budget. Higher model better output.

For the best and not too expensive get EX750 series.
For value get EX600 series.
For money no issue get EZ1000 OLED series.

Panasonic increase all the price already, during the time I bought 43" EX600K official price is RM 2,599.00 but now increase to RM 2,799.00 already.

Just get any High Speed HDMI cable will do. Only High Speed HDMI cable support 4K resolution.

I don't see the required for manual, every setting have description when you point over to it.

Yup support 2 out of 3 types of HDR. The HDR10 and HDR HLG.
Not support Dolby Vision. This only available in very few superb expensive OLED TV. No need Dolby Vision as only Apple TV support it. The rest 99% is HDR10 include UHD Blu-ray. HDR HLG is future broadcast HDR format and so far not really have any content yet for the moment beside that only 2 demo available in internet.

I also get that. Now use it to connect my old Samsung Blu-ray player via HDMI 2.

I notice one thing is Panasonic HDMI 3 not support Deep Color as it won't show anything once you turn on that setting in your device. So now I using Mi Box in HDMI 3 since the Mi Box Deep Color setting is all way wrong and should be turn off for the moment.

HDMI 1 is connected to my Panasonic UHD Blu-ray Player - DMP-UB400GAK.

Nothing appear on screen. No signal if your device had turn on deep color.

Deep color is working perfectly on HDMI 1and 2 but not the side HDMI 3.

No device deep color is default turn on as if not support then it will be blank no image.

You need to buy Android TV Box for iFlix. iFlix not available in platform others than Android TV.

You may try. I put this TV at my room. So the setting suite me but may not for others as environment lightning condition may affect the setup.

Haha. Welcome. Maybe after you tune you may share your setting as well.

At YouTube option and go to last icon nerd. I think so. Forgot already got in Panasonic TV or not but it is there at Android Box. I also own Mi Box because apps in Panasonic still too little.

Tonight I reconfirmed.

Oh cool. Thanks for the information.

Decide redo my HDR setting as I found it looks not correct.

I don't have it. Can't tell. But I think Only Netflix needs the extra setting. The Netflix HDR seems someway very wrong. My phone is display in Dolby Vision and it looks far better. I try to adjust my TV to make it closer because default in HDR output for Netflix is not nice and color weird.

They is only 75" and 58".

But for that price, I rather buy 65" OLED TV.

You mentioned EX750 only have 58" in Malaysia. That why I am telling you they is another size of EX750 which is 75" but cost RM 22k. That why I said I rather pick OLED TV If I am spending RM 22k for a TV.

Original retailer price for EX750 in Malaysia
58" EX750 - RM 7.5K
75" EX750 - RM 22K

Malaysia don't have 65". The 65" EX750 cost £ 2,204.99 = RM 12k. For 12k top up a bit already can get a decent LG OLED TV also.
