After few months of research and viewing I've narrowed down my search for a minimum 65in tv :-

1) Philips 65in 5409 1080p with 600hz motion - rm4.4k
The good - good black levels and contrast, non reflective screen
The bad - limited features, basic TV, no 3d, no 4k

2) Philips 65in 6909  1080p, 800hz with 3d and backlight illumination - rm5.7k
The good - 800hz motion, good black levels and contrast, non reflective screen, active 3d
The bad - dated smart features, no 4k

3) Sony 65in W850C 1080p, 3d - rm5.8k
The good - good black levels, contrast, active 3d, Android tv
The bad - no 4k, reflective screen

4) Toshiba 65in L9450 4k - RM6.6k
The good - Good black levels and contrast, Android TV, 4k
The bad - no 3d

5) Sharp 70in 950x 1080p RM7.5k
The good - 4 colour screen, big screen for the money, 3d
The bad - No 4k, dated smart features

Which one would you choose given the budget of +/- RM7k?

i am not concerned with the foxconn-sharp acquisition. such biz deals happen all the time and does not change issues like warranty that quickly. moreover, sharp warranty is only 2 yrs, the extended yrs are usually by insurance co. i have bought 5 sharp tv's in my life, never had any issue with them for years.

since u r thinking of some android box, this sharp ue630x comes with a pretty good built in android. u can start getting to know such a feature with the tv. the difficulty is u r starting from scratch with little help whereas if u buy a box, the seller can help u. but androids are androids - they all work the same way whether in a tv, box, tablet or mobile phone - should not be hard to find someone to help u.

ue630x base price, i think now should be... 50" <rm4k, 58" <6k, 65" <8k.

Last I checked rm7k++

630x rm8k+

Picture quality of 630x is better.

price diff should be about rm1k.

for that, there are a no. of significant differences.

the 630x has a much better android inside, 4 hdmi input instead of 2, picture quality is definitely better.

tq bro...

like many things, price to size graph is not a straight line but exponential!

For Samsung you need at least 7500 series to compare.

Next week the 8k TV from Sharp will be available for viewing at Harvey Norman. If you have budget can consider checking it out .. Rm30k for 70".

Then you will have to go for oled or high end leds like the JS9000. You may not be satisfied with mid end leds.
Anyway best for you to check yourself and fund out what looks good to you.

Have to compromise somewhere. I think there are good options in the mid-end with the Sharp 630X, Samsung JS7200 and Panasonic CX600 / CX700. The sharp has better black levels, the samsung & pana have WCG so the colours are amazing but they are both IPS so black levels are not so good. If your budget allows it the Sony X8500C is amazing but pricey (but cheaper than other Samsung & Sony high end LEDs).

In high-end LEDs it's all between Samsung & Sony now. But the price is so close to OLED that one might as well consider OLEDs. Mid-end there are more models to consider but with Philips & Toshiba not releasing new models for 2015, there is only Samsung, Panasonic & Sharp to consider. Sony all priced at a premium.

Did I miss out anything?

Anyone wants to provide reviews for Xiaomi & Hisense which are the budget segment?

Between those choices 60JS7200 has the best picture quality due to wide colour gamut and it is also HDR capable.

JS denotes SUHD model i.e. Samsung's moniker for Quantum dot (wide colour gamut /WCG) & HDR capable TVs.
JU is the normal UHD tv without wide colour and HDR.

One thing for sure is WCG & HDR makes a huge difference in picture quality based on what I have seen on my 55" JS7200. But due to limited sources for HDR video currently, you can't sample a lot of content. The HDR on higher end TVs and 2016 "UHD Premium" certified TVs are expected to be even better due to wider contrast but this will probably be very expensive.

For the Sony S85C, it's firmware has been upgraded to support minimum HDR same as X85C. These 2 models don't fully support HDR but I don't know what their limitations are. Not sure about the price for S model but X85C 65" is now availabel for 7.8k in Lazada.

In my opinion both the JS7200 & S85C/X85C are great mid-high end choices. Personally I like the Sony better overall due to natural colours, deeper blacks and Android TV but the Samsung is very similar in quality, cheaper and has more vivid colours. So in the end the JS7200 is more bang for buck.
