Sure the Android TV OS is still in its early stages, however, that's not an excuse for Sharp shipping out a defective firmware. Especially since other devices like the Nvidia Shield TV box or Nexus player running Android TV, handle such issues properly.. As for Plex, it's nice and all, basically I prefer getting the full HD video and audio experience. Don't care much for network latency, transcoding, audio downmixing, PCM and extra decoding.

If like that I choose wrong tv liao haha, should have get samsung. When I started to research I was looking for lcd to do 3 main things, watch astro, watch youtube and play files from pendrive on that order

if u do not have a box that can do usb playback, it's bad news.

i use the tv usb only for app installation on the tv.

Haha, it's still a good choice as future firmware updates can fix the current usb playback issues.. Still have 4K + Android TV..

You can't get full HD video and audio with Plex?

Depending on your media server, plex will be limited. My nas can't handle transcoding. So I only use it to stream. It's still quite slow to use plex on tv. It's a good option but limited by server/nas capability and the tv's own processor.

The interface and meta file download is awesome though.

There is no perfect tv. You gain some and you lose some. I think your tv is good enough but has some shortcomings that can be worked around using the android tv.

Nope, tried it a couple of times and wasn't satisfied with the performance.. File had 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio & I got PCM on the TV instead. I thought perhaps, Plex would have done some improvements so far, but some light reading around their forum still suggests passthrough issues.. A compatibility thing I guess.. I'll try it again.

The UI & simplicity of how everything should work is all well and good.. For simple low bitrate videos with AC3, etc.. Media server is a gaming rig, wireless ac with full signal connection , core i7 HQ CPU, more than sufficient RAM, GPU's capable of driving at least two 4K monitors, etc.. So I don't think it's the PC... Maybe as you suggested, it's the TV (quad-core processor) or the HT.. Doesn't like what Plex's sending, tries to keep it simple instead. Forcing me to keep it simple thru USB

I've been looking at getting a dedicated NAS unit for awhile, still can't justify the price to rewards ratio. Besides, instant streaming is the rage. Price of a 12TB NAS unit with Raid 1 setup.

i pretty much came to that conclusion as well.

pls yell if u come across something viable!

meanwhile, i continue to make full use of existing boxes, tv's and the numerous hdd's.

Will do.... You too...

how about 65 Samsung ju6000?price?
picture quality compare to sharp 65 630x?
tq sifu2

For Samsung you need at least 7500 series to compare.

This is the most basic model. Pls avoid if you can. Go for 7 series and higher if you want samsung.

tq sifu..
so, 65 ju7500 vs 65 630x,which is the best for picture quality?
I'm plasma fan... ...not like led tv before..

Next week the 8k TV from Sharp will be available for viewing at Harvey Norman. If you have budget can consider checking it out .. Rm30k for 70".

i think ESH SS2 already has a display unit... somehow i was told they offer 5 years warranty from sharp directly.

Then you will have to go for oled or high end leds like the JS9000. You may not be satisfied with mid end leds.
Anyway best for you to check yourself and fund out what looks good to you.

see only lah...can't buy
tq bro

x cukup bajet bro...
