after 8 weeks using this sharp lc50ue630x uhd 4k tv, let me summarize my experience with it:

.. good video quality; 1080p, bdmv, bluray, 4k videos - excellent.
.. good upscaling for 720p, 1080i videos
.. vibrant colors.
.. the android within is good - capable of doing any 2/16gb lollipop 5.1 can do.
.. the android within can take a good no. of apps, performance is no lower than any android box.
.. works very well with netflix hd/uhd4k even on wifi.
.. works well with iflix (iflix is all sd but when upscaled, very acceptable).
.. hypptv 1080i channels like bbc earth, travel & living, natgeopeople come out sharp and bright.
.. usb playback can handle all common formats incl mkv, m2ts.
.. toslink digital output is dts/dd capable.
.. a surprisingly cool tv, does not even get warm.
not so good:

.. somehow, i find the dark scenes a little too dark, the bright scenes a bit too bright. don't know if this is a characteristic of all 4k tv's..?
.. all hmdi's video setting is restricted to a choice of std, movie, pc, dynamic or dynamic fixed. u can change the variables in each set but that will apply to all hdmi's. this is not as good as previous models where u can change the variables in each setting for every hdmi input and save as user1, user2, etc.
.. all inputs and outputs incl hdmi, usb, optical, lan are at the back of tv, not side - access difficult for wall mounted cases.
overall, i am very happy with the tv. wink.gif

Hi, it seems this 630x is good. How about Sharp's service, ie if in future any thing goes wrong with the unit and it needs service, is Sharp having a good record or reputation? How many years of warranty for this model? So far, what I heard and experienced is that Panasonic's service is really good, don't know much about Sharp.

Currently, SHARP is being bought over by Foxconn. $6 billion deal. At the moment, the deal's shaky as Foxconn isn't liking some new found information.. So support future-wise, yet unknown. Don't let that put you off buying a SHARP TV if you like it.. We are not talking shares here.. tongue.gif

Nonsense.

Does what happen in the foxconn deal
Will affect the sharp tv in my house??

Electronic product is very easy to compare.

But i think 7k for tv is not a good deal.
I would go for a 3.5k fhd projector

Makes so much sense...

Yes it does, if the new buyer decides to shutdown the TV manufacturing & support section.. In case you are unaware; Currently, Sharp supplies Apple with LCD displays for iPhones in addition to being a leading television maker and selling audio equipment, home appliances and more. The company has fallen on hard times recently, incurring a net loss of nearly $1.9 billion in the fiscal year ending March 2015. It also must repay $4.3 billion it had borrowed by March; Foxconn reportedly was willing to take on the debt. Foxconn isn't stupid to take on such debts without having an ulterior motive in place.. More so, when they are the ones who assemble Apple's products.. Link that if you can.. So yes, future support wise, it will affect your TV (should it develop a serious issue) if Sharp is handled as Nokia was by Microsoft.. Remember that?

A good TV can belong in any living room, etc.. I doubt even the best projectors can do the same.. Besides, maybe you really like projectors, others really like TVs. So, if you are unwilling to spend 7K or more on a TV, that's just your opinion. Some are willing to spend over 20K, it's their funds & satisfaction..

surveying for tv now too, considering 58'' ue630x, sharp lc60le90x and philips 65'' 6909. Any recommendation? I just checked on Aeon big mid valley yesterday, 58'' ue630x is selling at whopping RM7099. Such a huge difference compare to your price.

i am not concerned with the foxconn-sharp acquisition. such biz deals happen all the time and does not change issues like warranty that quickly. moreover, sharp warranty is only 2 yrs, the extended yrs are usually by insurance co. i have bought 5 sharp tv's in my life, never had any issue with them for years.

since u r thinking of some android box, this sharp ue630x comes with a pretty good built in android. u can start getting to know such a feature with the tv. the difficulty is u r starting from scratch with little help whereas if u buy a box, the seller can help u. but androids are androids - they all work the same way whether in a tv, box, tablet or mobile phone - should not be hard to find someone to help u.

ue630x base price, i think now should be... 50" <rm4k, 58" <6k, 65" <8k.

I do like the picture quality but wish to have a bigger unit due to viewing distance. My sofa is around 15-16 feet away. I've temporarily pushed the sofa nearer to compensate.

Wow,5 Sharp tv's and not a single problem, that's very remarkable, and reassuring! So if my Toshiba 40 inch is now having display problem, does it reflect Toshiba's norm? Or is it just my bad luck?

A side question. How about power consumption moving from a 40 " to 50"+? On a 6-hour per day basis (my mother is hooked on it). We never do any extra power meter tweak (you should know what I mean), so this is a concern for me also.

My experience is sharp tv's are reliable. Can't say for other as I have not used them.

Power consumption, no worry. Latest led back lit ones are efficient will not be more than LEDs.

Also, this 4K tv is cool, can't feel the heat at all!

Understood.. Well, that depends on what happens or is decided within the next few months. For most, it's not much of an issue, especially since most TVs come with either 1 or 2 years manufacturer warranty. I'm no expert but, a full scale down won't be happening in 2 years. So to be safe, get an extended warranty.. Most are backed by the stores themselves.. I.e. H.N.

Probably just bad luck.. In every production batch, there'll be a few "lemons". For example, I have a 21" Samsung 1080p TV that has been in use for over 6 years. Currently using it as a monitor & it's had zero issues. Same with the living room TV that's just over a year old.. (knocks on wood). Fairly certain that there are Samsung TV users out there, that have sworn off Samsung TVs due to manufacturing defects.. Big brands like Samsung, Sharp, LG, Sony, Dell, etc are okay, as they have decent QC.

As for power consumption, TVs of today even while on standby mode, are quite energy efficient, particularly when compared with Plasma or the much older CRT tech. So no worries there.

price diff should be about rm1k.

for that, there are a no. of significant differences.

the 630x has a much better android inside, 4 hdmi input instead of 2, picture quality is definitely better.

I don't think they are true 8K. Probably quasi 8K like the 4K ready Quattrons.
As it is 4K also not much content. I don't think 8K will become mainstream anytime soon.
