Cant have it all. Highrise, u pay more for water, asessment rates.

The impt thing is the stability n consistency. I am quite happy to pay <rm200 a month for all entertainment, phone calls, emails, messaging, pc work for a dozen devices. More concerned with tnb bill!

Thanks for your post here, I think mine is different from what the issue described in earlier post.

I manage to find out root cause of the problem after conducted few testing.

1) When ONLY HDMI1 (ARC) is connected to another device (soundbar) which is ARC compatible, it works for sound, control, power on/off.
However, as long as other HDMI port (2, 3 or 4) is connected to other devices (doesn't matter the device is ON or standby mode), the ARC will stop function.
Meaning to say, the HDMI1 (ARC) would work if there is no other HDMI devices plugged into the TV.
ARC works again if I plug out connection for other HDMI port (2, 3 or 4)

2) Since my soundbar has total 3 HDMI ports (1 x HDMI-ARC out, 2 x HDMI in), I tested by connecting the devices to the "HDMI in".
However, similar problem happens.
Meaning to say, the HDMI (ARC) would work if there is no other HDMI devices plugged into the soundbar.

I've also tried google around and found below, posting the same problem as mine. (Post #5)

Not sure if this is how ARC work, but it's kind of stupid if this is really true (If you want ARC, then have to sacrifice all other HDMI ports).
Or maybe only Sharp TV has this problem? Or setting/configuration issue?

End up, I decided to let go the HDMI-ARC function and connect via optical output from TV to soundbar.

Hope all sifu here can help.
Thanks.

I also think it should be hardware incompatibility issue here.
Conclusion, if you need HDMI-ARC, better get both devices (TV and soundbar) in same brand.

Yes, it work.
The problem only when those external devices plug into either TV or soundbar HDMI ports, and between TV and soundbar connected using HDMI ARC.           

poisoning my home minister now... what la pay rm149 for 4mbps streamyx. topup rm30 can get unifi hihihi. now offer rm179 for 30mbps free upgrade to 50mbps right?

i took a look at 330x and i really like their PQ
i dont have the opportunity to test 630x and 330x side by side but since people in here said that 630x PQ more good than 330x, i might get 630x

Any new TV supports the latest HEVC format?

is h264 or h265 a coding compression format more relevant to the player or the tv?

say, if a box player can decode h265, it will ok to display on any 1080p tv, right?

Noted LC58UE630x has been discontinued in Malaysia and replaced with LC60UE630X. Noted the key different is new 60 inch backlight system using Edge LED while 58 inch using LED.

May I know what is major  impact of using Edge LED? My understanding using LED would give better contrast while using Edge LED basically is because of cost cutting?

Thanks

Edge-lit LED have the LEDs surrounding the back of the panel and they use guides to light up the whole backplane. The main advantage is cost reduction, since they use fewer LEDs. Backlit LEDs have the LEDs directly behind the panel. They provide better contrast, but are also more expensive to make.

It's the replaced model using edge-lit OED and not the other way ... anyway just bought an unit of LC58UE630X online... waiting for delivery now ...

Thanks all for feedback.

So can I say based on the spec, 58" old model with LED is the better buy since it is having better contrast theoretically ?

The new generation of OLED TV should be cheaper than the current one, hopefully the price is attractive

this OLED...

seems everyone gas only great things to say about it.

but, what i read... it's organic, life of the some colors are short... degrades after 1,000 hours... suffers from burn-in like early plasma tv... and very expensive.

and why is LG the only brand selling OELD tv's now? 

Saw the side by side comparison between oled and uhd. Boy...! The PQ quality difference is huge!

The native player in the tv CANNOT handle 4k videos.

It can take 4k videos if it is processed by another player, say a 4k capable android box, input to tv with hdmi.

As for the extension, it will be fine.

i got news for u.

on tv kodi 17, it can't even detect the usb drive, so nothing!

i think this is one of those new rules about kodi17 - the android maker need to comply with new kodi standards.

u may have better luck with kodi 16.1.

i remember it could play most files but i did not test 4k at that time.

Do u know if other smart tvs can do kodi 17 usb playback?

last night turn on the tv to play kodi suddenly it auto updated to krypton version. where can i see the video source is 720p or 1080p when streaming? at jarvis it is easier to check at the source title.

Haiz.. sweating...if buy sharp must buy basic tv i guess without support or tech dev required.

Hi guys, i just emailed Sharp Malaysia. They are willing to send their service technician over to your house to upgrade the TV. They cant email the software file to us as they said the file size is too big.

Wow, in the age of 100 & 500MB internet speed, if a file is too big, I wondered what's the fix? Can't wait to find out what it is, maybe now can play Platstation game without the console?
