Plasma also cost rm30k for 50in when Pioneer Kuro launched. It also took few years for price to drop.

In terms of affordability it already surpassed the best of Plasma and took a shorter period for it to become more affordable. In a short 2 years the prices drop from rm30k to rm6k+.

In terms of everything else especially picture quality also surpass with superior contrast and even better black levels.
If 55in is big enough for you, grab it and enjoy.

Latest oled LG  Malaysia site is EC model,  is that like few version/generation back?

Thought latest  model is EG  n EF (which is flat)

Best price I got was RM6k for the OLED but no more stock already and that also no warranty so a bit risky. Those from retail shop the best I got was rm7.3k from USJ Taipan.

For me also PQ is a priority. Those smart etc it is better to get an Android box which is faster and more flexible. That's why I never put smart features as my priority. PQ should always be the priority that can't be improved upon with any Android box.

Are you able to get 4k 60hz to pay smoothly on Netflix? Minimum 30Mbps I presume?

I don't think it matters 50" and below, depending on your viewing distance. Typical ~9 feet, won't see the benefits for 4K for majority on a 50" screen.

But that Toshiba 50L9450 is a steal ~RM3.3k, FALD with 4k. Quite a bargain.

On even higher res.. you'd need a bigger screen or sit nearer.

OK I bit the bullet and chose a different TV from my initial list. Decided to go for the Sharp UE630e 4k series but a smaller one at 58". It also has very good black levels and was the flagship for 2015 Sharp lineup in Malaysia. Also has the latest Android TV though not my priority. Price was RM5080.

65 would be better but price is close to RM9k and I reckon will wait for oled prices to drop before splurging again, then this can be demoted to a good bedroom TV.

Will post my thoughts on this TV when it arrives next week. It was a toss between this or the 65in Philips 1080p model which was cheaper by RM600+.

Well some of the demos I did at Harvey Norman 1 Utama with HD material compared the 630x with the LG 65" Oled and this comes the closest. It just lose out on the black levels slightly but in terms of colour it was slightly more vibrant. I'm just comparing out of the box performance.

They didn't have the Philips model at Harvey so it was difficult to decide. I know 65" has so much more real estate and Philips works well with slightly low quality videos like Astro, but 65in if I were to move closer to the TV the pixels will be more noticeable and less forgiving to less than perfect sources. Also I was thinking as an entertainment unit it would be easier for the wife to use due to the build in Android Tv which we can use 4k sources like YouTube and Netflix out of the box, and expandable storage also helps.

The Toshiba was also close but I notice artifacts even with HD material so I put that slightly behind, but at rm6k+ it is the most affordable 65" 4k tv with good black levels.

Oh well u can't have them all and beggars can't be choosers, I also put into consideration I hardly have time to watch TV due to family life so some thoughts to the benefit of them made the Sharp an overall best choice. It only lose out on the size but compared to the current 40" Sony bravia 5yr+ model it replaces it will be a huge difference.

Btw my distance if compare the sofa closest to the TV is 8-9 feet and the furthest is 14-15 feet.

Take the reviews with a pinch of salt, I find the best way is to download some samples of 720p, 1080p and 4k. Go to Harvey Norman, ask them test all the TVs in your shortlist. And let u play with the settings.

I bought from HLK USJ 10/1A. Sharp doesn't have much reviews so you need to do self review.

Yes at RM5080 it's already a good discount. Retail was RM7k+ and other places like Harvey can only offer RM5990.

The advantage of getting a well stocked brand is ease of repairs should the time come vs limited stock or run out stock where you have less chances of getting parts.

Have a look at Toshiba l9450 also if you can accept the artifacts it is also quite decent. It should be similar to 9300 series where you can find reviews online but 9300 doesn't have good reviews .

FYI sharp will be no longer in tv industry after this the company has sold to hisence

Good luck, hope you hear from your feedback after you've chosen. I need to inform you an observation also. Each outlet there are salesmen representing their own brands ie. Philips, Sony, Sharp, Toshiba etc, but they are not wearing their company uniform. They wear their the shop's uniform but being stationed there to help promote their TVs and other items.

So beware if you might be actually talking to TV representative instead of the shop's salesman. Of course, they will recommend their own brand compared to the rest. This is a very sneaky tactic and also not noticeable.

Yes not worth buying close to rm10k, within  1-2 years OLED should be that price

Looking forward for Danny review on his UE630X, I was eyeing for that as well but somehow the 65" seems to have better black compare to 58". I am not sure if it uses different panel. The price gap between 58 and 65 is ~3k.
For FHD, the 60LE90x Quattron is better in term of color and for ASTRO viewing, currently <5k.

When compare among Sharp 65UE630X Sony 65X8500 Toshiba 65L9450 Panasonic 65AX800 and 60CX700, Sharp is the best to my eyes, Sony next followed by Panasonic and last goes to Toshiba.

Happy shopping for those look for new TV....

Still waiting for the TV to arrive.. HLK order from Sharp then Sharp send to HLK then only to my place .. ETA this coming Wednesday, longer than I expected. Hope it will perform well!

Never trust demo videos, as they are specially designed for the TV and do not represent actual footage you watch. Better bring your own files and play the same file over a few tvs you have chosen. Then the results will be very different.

I like the Samsung JS 8000/9000 series but the price is too close to Oled so I didn't consider them.

If not mistaken close to rm7k for 55" and rm15-20k for 65", while 55" 7000 series have very poor contrast due to IPS panel - see http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/js7000.

Yup, I bought from that shop for rm5.3k for 58".
The addition 3 years warranty makes it more worth then the other shop selling at Rm5k.
Another guy was there and was also looking at the same deal.
In the end both of us grab this as we feel paying rm300 plus for additional 3 years of warranty is worth it. So got a 2 + 3 years warranty. Total 5 years warranty.
Somemore the warranty is direct from the Manufacture.

Also bought a gas stove to replace a faulty one at home. So got maximum discount on that.

Will share later the week once I get it on Monday.

Rgds

Ic then it should perform well, only thing that prohibit will be the price, so close to OLED.

6.9k still reasonable. On paper 55-60 is 5in but actual screen size is a lot bigger. If you can afford the 60 do go for it. Even 58in to 60 there is a difference but more marginal.

Btw today is Harvey Norman warehouse sale at Citta Mall last day. They got a 8000 series Samsung Plasma 64in going for rm6k. Maybe worthwhile for those who want good picture quality.

Hdr will bring led tv closer to Oled, but new tech won't come cheap, it took 2 years for a rm30k 55in oled to drop to 7k+ and we still think it's expensive for 55in.

Hopefully in a few years 4k projectors will be more affordable too, it will be nice having a 120in 4k screen for movies.

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.
