If anyone is looking to buy the 65ue630x, it’s available at Homedec expo at KL Convention Center for RM5640 inclusive of 5 years extended warranty, free wireless kb and mouse and free wall bracket. Installation of the wall bracket is quite expensive at RM250 though.
A mate of mine bought a set on Friday night.
The expo will end this evening

Thanks bro for the insight info. The item still in delivery. Yes the installation is on the high side, but WTH just pay la dont wanna pening kepala looking for installer.

the tv has been v good for me.

maybe becos i know androids for some time now, i can get it to work well.

the most difficult app was astrogo, but got it working fine in the end (steps already posted).

the other challenge will be 4k HDR10 input - comes out too dark.

need to tweak both box player and TV to get it right.

i had thought the tv is lacking for that since it is not HDR rated but, after reading below, it seems like a "universal" problem for now:

When I plug my old Xstreamer Pro into the LC65UE630X via HDMI, the pic quality seems flickering..not sure why..but old Pana plasma TV seems working fine..

Time to change to new home media?

It shouldnt be.

Try a different hdmi cable, diff hdmi slot.

But, yes... get new box, new sources.... 2160p videos will come out very well.

Thanks.

I was reading Q10 Hi Media but the HDD slots only have 1. Any other brand can you suggest that have 2 HDD slots which now can play 2160p?

Just few noob question:

1. How to close running app in the TV? I play a movie from terratium TV using VLC but I dont know how to close it as it shows pause.

2. My Unifi speed is 50Mbps,play native Youtube 4k is very good but streaming a 1.5Gb ‘1080p’movie from Terrarium seems lagging..Anyone having same issue?

3. Can u install apk file while is Kodi-select ES within Kodi-install from cloud?

1. just exit, it will close by default.
vlc is problematic for that, imo.
better u use terrarium's default exo player or MX player.

2. free apps like terrarium has no guarantee it will work 100%.
this lagging thingy is something u will see again and again, esp in free apps.
causes can be country geo restriction, local isp restriction, heavy traffiic, "buy vpn, u must pay", or simply bad source.
remember any source has a owner, need maintenance; free stuff is seldom maintained well for long.

3. i think u can; it just takes u back to esf app itself and do its thing.
but i don't see any advantage compared to using esf direct.

Thx bro for the feedback on point no 2.

For point no 1,u mean exit is turn off the TV or press the exit button on the remote?

As for point no 3 just trying to eliminate the process of copy the apk to USB,plug to TV then install the apk.

1. I mean just use the arrow left button to exit all the way.
I do not use vlc on the tv, not sure of the details.
Mx player is good for most simple apps.
Terrarium, use its exo player to have most benefits.

3. I misunderstood u... i hv not tried installing apps that way via cloud but it should work.
Try it n let us know!

Logitech K400 wireless works well with this TV.
I'm using this kb when I used Kodi a lot in the beginning.
But nowadays I tend to watch 4K Netflix, youtube or downloaded medias over Kodi
*
yes logitech keyboard & the mouse provided FOC is good..the only thing is some time when you need to go previous page need to switch back from logitech to Sharp main controller and press back..as for another sharp controller with the touchpad, i think this is suck and within a month battery already finish..

Also I find out when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del on the keyboard will restart the TV if the TV sometime hang for unknown reason such as cannot enter netflix and cannot open youtube.

That's normal regardless of res...Those black bars are due to the aspect ratio the TV show or movie was filmed in - seeing them means the title was filmed in an aspect ratio that isn't a perfect fit for your screen. It'll appear on some big, others smaller and rest full-screen image. So just relax and enjoy the content.

Thx lot

Rechargeable batteries..? Swap and recharge..

I don't think its about the battery.. I think the remote itself seems like switch ON for 24hrs.. The other Sharp remote, keyboard and mouse dont have battery drain issue..

Ue630x users... if u r into 4k hdr10 videos.

When i first played such a video, they come out too dark, no good.

Then, i read it has to do with the bluray discs or file makers.
http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/4k-vs-201604104279.htm

I think they have come around.

The latest 2160p hdr10 bdmv videos come out great on the ue630x.

Pretty stunning actually... clarity, colors, depth...

And i mean 60-90 gb files. With a good player, of course.

My settings for such videos.

.. dynamic mode
.. opc off
.. Backlight 16
.. Contrast 30
.. sharpness 2
.. the rest.. 0

Newer model ua6800x probably does a better job with hdr videos, but ue630x can deliever good too!  smile.gif

Wow, 2160p dl source where to get hmmm....

BTW just to share. For the above issues i share, luckily during the home expo I bought the extended warranty.

After an email sent to ESH representatives along with pictures and video of the issue, the insurance company approved the claim…

…to change to a brand new latest TV model with similar spec. Now just wait 🤩

Has anyone compared between the Sony X80J and Samsung AU8000 at the 75 inch range?

Having a tough time choosing between the two and prices seem to be quite similar recently.

Also, any thoughts around AU7700 would be great too! smile.gif

Just buy A80J and u will smile all the way
