I started reading this thread at around page 95 in may, I was looking for a 65in c9 for my parents and wanted to gain market intel what's the lowest price as the cheapest on lazada was around 11k and still is (except for a 3k+ cx which is likely a scam).
I use the first gen 55ea9800 in my own house which I still enjoy very much today, no 4k and hdr notwithstanding. I use an oppo udp203 with a roku stick which allows me to output coaxial digital to my old dac and music system. I only listen 2 channels.
SSJBEN you mentioned madvr, is this an app that can be installed on the tv or oppo or perhaps roku?
Somewhere some experienced people mentioned no point to wait for price to drop too low, that there comes a time the price goes up a bit as it becomes discontinued and demand spikes.
So I went to desa home theatre on the very same day I read that and found they could let it go for 9.8k so I just bought it and my parents are enjoying it since a week or 2 back.
To those undecided and pacifying oneself the price will drop a lot and that the cx is inferior, well it will be tough to swallow when cx appears in july and c9 runs out. Faced with a higher price for cx (rm15k launch price?) And so called technical inferiority, what is one to do then?
Here's some compensation, I did see some youtube comparison of displaying static images, I felt the cx offered a picture which seems warmer and deeper vs c9.
Thank you to all of you who shared openly your knowledge. It is much appreciated and enabled me to make a decision. Thank you.
