Hi guys, i just bought the Sharp 50UE630X for rm3.5k, picture quality is awesome! Yet to explore all the features. However, i find the brightness is too bright at times =D

Thanks guys! i always use the tv as a monitor in the living room, so i use PC mode. Hence, some of the settings like 'sharpness' is not available.

As for movies, i'm using Kodi from my pc to my pioneer AVR. Tested full hd Avatar yesterday, 20GB file. Picture quality is awesome. However, if u play those full hd video file around 1.4GB size, it will not look as sharp as my previous Sony full hd tv. Maybe the Sharp's 4K up scale engine is not working in PC mode? =D

Im using eco 1 now, i still find it bright at times. Eco 2 is too dim.

Besides, i also find 'red' color is more punchy than the other color with 630X.

Last week, harvey norman is having deals of the week for sony tv 50W800C for RM2,979, full hd android tv. I nearly bought that tv. Once i saw sharp's 630X, i immediately change my mind =D

@DannyOP The tv's screen is not matte instead reflective, so with bright sunlight, the brightness will not good. So i always close the curtain while watching tv. Maybe you try to off OPC function.

@Dage Maybe u can try to read the reviews from Rtings

http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x830c

Seems ok for video games but not so for movies

@AVFAN Thanks for the suggestion, shall try it tonight!

@DannyOP, Totally agree! i tried to compare Xiaomi mi TV 2 55inch as well. Directd selling RM3,999 with sound bar, but no warranty.

@AVFAV, voncrane, jdgobio Thanks for the input! hahah, i shall utilise more on my unifi 30. Most of the time, i wanted to watch a movie fast, so i go and download smaller file size movies =D

I tried installing kodi on the tv, however, i cant get DD or DTS through HDMI ARC to my AVR. I'm sure the movie file contain true HD audio. May i know what is the settings for it? I don wanna plug in optical cable just for the DD or DTS, there is enough cable running through my tv cabinet =D

@AVFAN Thanks for the reply, that is abit of a let down... Hopefully the marshmallow update will solve this problem =D i have yet to try the tv native player, will try tonight. Btw, i have switched to movie mode and play with the colour temperature settings, i was able to find my spot there.. haha, now watching movie is brighter now.. i have also turn on the advance contrast to standard, looks better, can see more details in dark scene.

Do you turn on film mode while watching movie? It looks nice for fast motion, at the same time it also make the movie looks fake =D Besides, i have tried 24p for movies, this tv can see judder quite clearly.

Hi AVFAN, the film mode is activated by going through the following:
1. Press home button (android tv main page)
2. Scroll down to settings (gear icon)
3. Scroll down to tv setup
4. On the first column, select advance
5. There you will see film mode

I believe the film mode activate the motion thingy...like the Sony motion flow thingy

@voncrane hahaha, yea, soap opera effect...so i turned it off...too fluid..like watching computer generated movie.

Hi guys, do you know what is the difference between our UE630X and UE1M other than the 3D feature?

I found out that the price for UE1M is cheaper than our 630X.

Thanks for the summary AVFAN. I bought my UE630X for 3.5k, i saw 11street selling UE1M for 3.2k.

Yea, comes with 3D glasses as well. I think both also running Android TV i guess.

For me, the HDMI 2.0 plays an important role for tv upgrade =D, other than that i guess should be secondary.

haha, we can never follow the latest technology unless we're very rich =D

I just went to this webiste below to download 4k samples to play on my tv. The file format is .encm. The tv and my pc also cannot play the file. Did you guys came across this issue before?

Thanks voncrane, yeah, the encm files is only for panasonic 4k tvs ;(

Btw, do you guys connect your UE630X to a PC (HTPC)? How do you guys achieve 4k resolution @60p?

Currently my PC is connected to the tv, but running at 1080p only (using R9 280 - no HDMI 2.0 port). i feel like wanna make full use of the tv's resolution to 4k (via display port of the graphics card).

Planning to invest a display port converter to HDMI 2.0 (links below), then connect HDMI 2.0 to the tv. i have a pioneer AVR with 4k passthrough, but i guess it only allow 4k30p instead of 4k60p.

Yeap, 2160p videos are very rare. But i have tried to set it to 4k30p recently via the HDMI 1.4 port, the image is awesome. The text looks way sharper than 1080p resolution.

Tried star wars the force awakens 38 bdmv with it, both 1080p and 4k30p reso doesnt show much difference. But web browsing looks much better in 4k (with text scalling set to 175%) than 1080p.

I was thinking whether to upgrade it to nvidia GTX 950 since it support HDMI 2.0 or the display port converter.

My pioneer avr is VSX - 523-K, bought it 2 years ago for RM2.6k.

If you plan to buy avr nex year, be sure to look for HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 support for future proofing.

Wow, both the specs of the avr is yummy =D hmmm, if the price is right, i might be poisoned and get one next year too XD.

But in 2014, i heard onkyo avr got HDMI board and power supply problem, hope they have rectified all of these issues.

If not mistaken, you need HDMI 2.0a instead of HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 to support HDR. Some forumers says HDMI 2.0a is just a software update. We shall know more about it in June or July this year during Computex event =D

Yeap, agree with AVFAN, very little 4k materials, maybe in 2017 only have slight HDR content floating around the internet =D

I just tried to connect my PC to the TV's HDMI straight instead of my AVR and then AVR to TV. I noticed that the ARC only supports stereo format from the sound properties under control panel. Even if i set the ARC audio to bitstream.

But when i try to watch movies with Kodi with 5.1 DTS audio format, my AVR able to receive the DTS signal with 5.1 sound. Sadly, it couldnt pass through DTS-MA and DTS-HD audio format.

Welcome to the club potionmaster1987! =D I am lovin my tv so far!

Just hope sharp would roll out HDMI 2.0a update to our tv, then we would be able to watch netflix content in HDR =D

haha, touch wood, so far no problem encountered. Im connecting this tv to my avr. All my inputs goes through the avr. You may need to play around the TV setup for colors that suit your taste. But the black is really black, white is really white.

This tv is kinda heavy, if you plan to mount this tv, make sure u buy the non-retractable tv mount.

I am currently waiting my display port to hdmi 2.0 converter to arrive, then i can experience 4k60p using my HTPC. =D

Lol, maybe my tv mount is lousy one, im using the retractable one, i can see the mount abit senget dy =D
