Rather than reading about it, why not check it out yourself and then decide? Let your eyes be the judge and if you see no difference then you have nothing to lose by foregoing 4K. Those of us here who have a good 4K tv will all vouch for the superior viewing experience of 4K Tvs.

On the distance, sitting nearer and getting a big TV is the new normal. If for some reason you can't sit nearer or can only have a small tv, then good for you coz you can then save money by not splashing it on a big 4K Tv.

On the content, yes there is not much content right now but your other 1080p content (provided it's high bitrate file / bluray disc) will look so amazing with details & colour you never realized was there before. And content will only increase from now onwards, do you want your brand new TV to downscale it to 1080p? Again it depends on whether you can see a difference in the first place. If you can't, just be happy that you don't need to waste money on a 4K tv like those who can see a difference.

Remember that when we are talking about a 4K Tv, we are talking about the whole package and not just about the resolution. The resolution by itself makes very minimal difference, but everything else makes a big enough difference. So if you are budget constrained to getting the entry level models, don't bother going 4K. Get at least a mid-level one or go for high end HD tv (whatever remains from prior years).

Hi friends I'm looking for 50-55inch led tv below 3k price tag..few days ago i saw Toshiba 50l5550 in senheng quite impressive for the price RM2800 after member discount...but they didn't have l9450 model...im looking for credit card 0% interest ezy payment...so any suggestion the price looks ok or high..any other shop recommendation...in other post i see l9450 price is rm2900 still the promotion on and got 0% interest ezy payment...tq 😊

"hd" = 720p, 1080i and 1080p.

4K or UHD:



a 4k TV is not worth it you play mainly DVD's, 720p and 1080i (astro and hypptv).

a 4k TV is very good if you play mainly BD (bluray discs), 1080p, 2160p and BDMV (40-50GB) videos. besides uhd4k videos, of course.

typically, a 4K tv comes with good upscaling, improves any video better than a standard HD TV in terms of details clarity and color vibrancy.

so, do choose correctly for now and the near future and within yr budget.

Hi.. Buddy.. Not being rude or anything, however, might want to recheck the title of this thread... Thy current budget is err...

Hi guys & sifu's

1st of all sorry if this post in wrong thread
Need some advice on choosing an entry level 4k tv or a high end FHD tv.
Saw this at Lazada at RM6288 (http://www.lazada.com.my/sharp-lc60le90x-quattron-pro-3d-internet-4k-ready-led-tv-60-inch-black-2337073.html)
Went to courts mamoth usj yasterday and saw Sharp LC60LE90X model selling for RM3900++ (after disc & its cash price )Need somne opinion on it.Saw other 4K tv selling in the range of near 5k above .
From my observation the PQ is superb and natural.Sound system also great and with alot of hdmi ports,Ethernet, wifi .dlna ,bluetooth and also its 3d.
In the specs sheet it shows Resolution 1,920 x 4 x 1,080 .Does it mean that it can upscale content to near 4K ?What doest it mean by 4k-ready ?
Anyone have experience with this model ?
BTW what is the price range for LC50UA330x and LC58UE630x ?
Im going for Court's installment plan .
My content Hyptv Unfi 30mbps .1080p,BRay and mkv's .

Your opinion/advise is much appreciated TQ

LE90X is not a 4K tv. It's only a FHD tv with some bullshit marketing about 4K ready. That being said, it's a reasonably good FHD tv with THX certification. If you are happy with the PQ, just get it and be happy. 3.9k for this TV is a good deal, a few months ago the cheapest I saw was 4.8k.

You can get the 58UE630X for 5k+ and the 65UE630X for 7k+
Better stay away from UA330X as it's an entry level model.

Edit:
I tried not to write this but I can't hold myself back. If you need to buy a TV on instalments, it means that you can't afford it. I know it sounds harsh but many people get into financial trouble by buying things that they don't need and can't afford. If you really want it, save money until you can afford buy it.

I don't know your financial situation and whether you really "need" a TV (coz the old one broke) or you just "want" it (coz it looks good). But I just want you to rethink the reasons properly before committing to this financial burden.

In terms of upscalling is the 4k panel much better than this LC6090X?
On the smart TV function is any better than Samsung or lg webOS? Is the PQ as good as Sharp Kuro?
Edited :
Got no intention to get new TV but last week my 10 years ol 32 Toshiba lcd tv died and make me thinking to upgrade. Financially I'm ok Coz I'm only taking short term installment only. I'm not investing f sup expensive TV just nice t o compliment my br.mkv and 1080p content

90x is full HD 1920x1080 but has 3D, limited internet features.
330x is a 4kTV 3840x2160; no 3D, no internet capability.
630x is a 4KTV; no 3D, full android/internet capability.

if into 3D, the choice is obvious.
if not into 3D and not into internet/android, 330x can be a decent choice.

if not into 3D but into android, 630x is the best choice.
if planning to get Netflix HD/UHD4K, 630x is the only choice.
1080p/BD/BDMV comes our v good with the 630x upscaling.

of course, the price/budget factor is also impt.

how do u play yr 1080p/mkv/BR files now?

ever used an android phone, tablet or box?

Currently using my pc. Mbp and also raspberry pi 2 running kodi steaming content my 8TB NAS

i see...

if u hv no plans to go android but keep to current, the 630x may not be put to good use.

and if just to replace 32" tv at lowest cost, why not consider a smaller size but same range as the 90x?

I just got new Sharp 50 inch. Should i perform the software update now or there's no difference whether i do it or not?

i always update.

what model is this?

LC50LE570X

Since you could figure out how to setup & maintain an RPI, you'll get the hang of the Android TV OS as well..

Heres my take about major decisions like the living room TV.... Either buy the best 1080p TV you can afford or grab a more decent 4k TV. An entry-level 4K TV can be satisfactory, but you could do better. I've heard many horror stories about Courts Mammoth's installment plans, so be careful there as the final figures may not tally with the promo price.

Yes no harm updating, you may get new features and built in app like Netflix which may not be there originally.

I might not be upgrading my TV at least for 5 years or more or until it dies like my Toshiba (10yrs is a long time) so for me might go as big as I can now and enjoy it for 5 or more years to come. BTW it come with 2+3 years warranty

OK Thanks

Von crane :
Thanks on the reminder on Courts.

Any recommended site for PQ settings?

Does that means it's also updating the firmware? Should update everytime there things to update?
