The JS7200 in Malaysia is a different model from the JS7000 in the US. The panel native refresh rate for Msia model is 100hz, equivalent to the US 120hz. The US model is 60hz. Only North American use 60/120, the rest of the world use 50/100.
The US version also comes with old smart function, not Tizen. Difficult to find info about the Msian model, but its definitely not the same as the US model.

I tested some of my own  videos and they look great, both 1080p and 4k videos downloaded from YouTube. The difference is obvious compared to JU6400. Tried to test the UE630x but the shop people couldn't get it to detect my hdd. This happened in 2 shops, hoe huat and one living. They complained about the remote and thar the tv is still in demo mode. Don't know what happened here.

@DannyOP Need your feedback on your experience when testing this tv coz maybe the salesmen were purposely trying to make the sharp look bad to sell me the samsung.

hmm....I bought the JS7200 yesterday. Tried googling for info, but could only find JS7000, which now I understand is the USA model vs the Asian model. But comparing a 1080p movie on the JS7200 and other models, I could see the picture was much nicer, brighter and colour was richer. This was on factory default.

But the funny thing is that the sales guy said its quad core, but 400hz? Where as the higher end SUHD models was 800hz? or was it 200hz and 400hz? But runs on Tizen.

I will need to go back and try some 4k content to see what the differences are on 4k, other than the demo 4k stuff. It was either this or the Sony X850c. LG 8 series didn't look as nice.

Anyone tried using a JS7200 for gaming? cant find any info on the input lag.

This is the same experience I had. The picture quality is just awesome compared to other tvs in the same price range. This tv is 100hz with clear motion rate 200. I suspect it is an IPS panel, but the picture really pops.

What was the best price you got for the sony and which size.

thanks. its a 55" and I got it for 5.8k. Yea, the pictures really pops out. Problem was that I tested this TV first, so the rest couldn't really compare,even the Sony. LG OLED's were a different story of course.

But funnily, the salesman showed me an invoice during the recent sale. They sold an OLED for close to 8k. I saw it on display at 10k. He said all models have a discount, varies of course.

The Sony was more expensive than the Samsung, it was 6k. 55" also.

Congrats! That's a reasonable price. Pls share your views after using it.
The oled 55" has been that price for a while. The sony doesn't pop but it has excellent black levels and contrast albeit pricier.

Will do, after running it in. At the showroom, I guess I couldn't really see the black levels of the sony. Probably would be more visible in a dark room.

Finally got the 58" Sharp UE630X, replacing the 40" Sony Bravia it's a noticeable size improvement as well as PQ improvement.

I'm not sure if I got the Audio to work properly but I used Optical Out to my Anthem Mrx500 Receiver and so far managed to get my external speakers working. Is this the only way?

Did a check and found out there is a firmware update. I noticed there is Netflix preinstalled after the update.

Didn't have much time to play around with it yet but I did try out some 4k movies from Netflix and it plays well on a Maxis 10Mps .. Not sure if it is running 4k fully but looks very sharp. Also tried Google cast and works just like Chromecast. Will post more feedback when I have more chance to test it.

If your Anthem has HDMI ARC (audio return channel), then you can plug that in to your TVs ARC HDMI port.
Otherwise, optical will have to do.

Great that Netflix app is available and working well thumbup.gif

Just an additional note. If you have any source which is able to output HD audio or Dolby Atmos, it will not work through optical (if the source is plugged-in to your TV). You will need the HDMI cable plugged into your receiver for that. But for audio from TV to AVR, the max is only 5.1, so it is not an issue to use an optical cable.

Understand, will try to see if the Anthem supports ARC, that will be better. I guess for streaming purpose, I don't expect any HD audio, but I wanna see how capable is the Sharp's Android TV first, if not mistaken it comes with 16GB and I also managed to install Kodi.

Finally manage to wall mount my UE630X after calling Sharp factory in Shah Alam.
Very nice service from their customers support and they even gave me the 4 screws required.

Managed to spend some time with the TV and notice for some bright scene, there is this foggy effect. It's like there is a fog on the picture. Not sure how to explain.
It is very very minor and is only slightly visible on certain bright scene.
Try playing with the settings for gamma and it improved abit. Will need to try more settings.

Otherwise everything is superb.

i posted my findings in the Netflix thread.

at this time, there are almost no movies in 4k.

quite a fair bit for tv series and documentaries.

almost all content are in at least HD, assuming the choice was standard or UHD (and not basic).

the tv has good upscaling capability, so even HD comes out excellent.

it is almost as good as full 1080p files usb playback.


what u can do is try the netflix std/hd option. it's free for 1 month trial.

see if it comes out good. i think 5mbps can do it if there are no others using it.

if it works good, and netflix content improves incl 4k, then u can consider upgrading yr broadband speed, subscribe netflix.



i was skeptical at first but now, having watched hd/4k, i am considering...
