Rtings reviewers aren't big gamers , they merely use the consoles as tester to the TV capabilities .


And their reviews always favor price over actual performance .
For the lower price , you still get the same unbeatable OLED screen , therefore for most of their readers a cheaper B6 is "better" than c7 .


But when it comes down to features , particularly noise reduction handling , C7 / B7 are far superior to the 6 series .
Rtings also often ignore contemporary issues of the TV , such as the over the top , EOTF tracking on the Q9FN .

You need to take RTINGS reviews with a grain of salt lol. Anyone with half the knowledge of how displays work will laugh at RTINGS reviews.

I personally went from an E6 to a C7 and the difference was significant enough to warrant the "upgrade".

ya same thing with my comment - grain of salt.. lol

I still hesitate whether to go with C7 or C8. I am planning to use it for my PS4 Pro and mainly to watch netflix movies and sports. Im not sure if few thousand different justify the purchase of C8 since C7 price drops its price.

I tak jadi use the RM650 Desa Home Theatre voucher. If anyone wants to buy it for their Oled TV, etc, pm me

There is no problem with the C7 and its still under warranty. But seeing the other comment that C7 is not good for HDR gaming due to the firmware update (holds true on some feedback in google) is putting me off. My friend doens't play games and so might need to take my PS4 PRO to test it in his TV.

Now my best location for a TV is a good 10 feet away and the sofa is behind a window with ample sunshine. TV screen will have direct sunshine. This is addressed by your comment earlier as this TV will still be good.
I tested 10 feet on the 65 inch TV and they look great on 4K content. Infact for 4K content you can sit even closer to TV.

But not sure whether I should go for a new C8 55 inch instead rather than 65 inch (C7 or C8) for my 10 feet. Since C7/ C8 is bezel-less 55 inch and 65 inch doens't look that big.

Anyone using 65 inch C7/ C8 from 10 feet or little less and which content has lot of noise in the picture. My family watch some SD channels and may be they get upscaled but not sure how good it will be. I cannot test all this at my friends TV.

By the standards of SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers) , they suggest the TV screen filling up 30% of your vision for normal people , 40% for Cinema enthusiast for more immersion .


65 inches = 8.9' (2.69 m) for 30% ; 6.5' (1.98 m) for 40%

55 inches = 7.5' (2.28 m) for 30 % ; 5.5' (1.68 m) for 40%


So yea , feel free make the adjustment by yourself . Take note everyone has a different endurance , some people may experience motion sickness sitting too close to the TV , so take these as a guideline , but not absolute rules .

You shouldn't worry too much about picture noise , just turn that mpeg / noise reduction to the max . These TVs are like noise absorber, unfortunately this will also remove many of the fine details . But if you are watching content on SD , what details are we talking about here

Just turn it off when you are back to watching UHD content.

If you are worry about game scenes being too dark , the Dynamic Tone Mapping features are also on C7 / B7 . But they are merged under the Dynamic Contrast settings .

So in order to turn it on , you also need to turn Dynamic Contrast on , which will cause fine details to vanish.

I think you're going want to have some heavy drape curtains. Direct sunshine isn't good for OLEDs.

I am on a 65" and I sit 6 ft. away lol. Immersion > all else. To me, this is the sweetspot for being able to appreciate the extra detail of 4k and upscaled 1080p content doesn't look like ass.
That said, you have to figure out if you're one of those people who can get motion sickness from sitting that close or not (to be honest 6ft from 65" isn't even that close).

Wow 65inch and 6 feet away

Nice, thanks for sharing. Will play around the settings for optimum pic

Have u received?

It finally arrive. Legitimate local unit.

Fuyoh, terbaik.

Haha congrats! What a bargain

Sweet ass deal man.

It is always a gamble to buy expensive TV online from not so famous stores , but it looks like you won the lottery , Grats .

Enjoy this badass

Well, it's a calculated risk. The seller has 4 years in lazada with hundred of reviews.

Well worth the price but needed the correct content to make it shine..

Sony Bravia XBR-65A1E 65" 2160p UHD OLED Internet TV - RM5,000 [https://www.lazada.com.my/products/sony-bravia-xbr-65a1e-65-2160p-uhd-oled-internet-tv-i365635116-s521024384.html?spm=a2o4k.searchlist.list.3.6fe05efcg0Ytsj&search=1]

Sorry for posting under this thread since the deal is Sony but it is an OLED tv so this is just for sharing. The payment arrangement is dubious to me as they are asking for money to be transferred to their bank account instead of going through Lazada online payment platform, as I have checked with the so-called seller. Otherwise, the deal may look legit, but still too good to be true. Be warned.

Hahaha , that's a very typical scamming trick from these e-shop.

You message the merchant and they ask you to transfer via bank account . Who is say they will still send you the TV after paying ?
If you pay thru the platform ( Lazada in this case ) , at least Lazada will hold the fund and you can complain to Lazada if the seller bail.


This seems to be too fishy , too good to be true .

65 inches A1E , please bro . Even a display unit won't be going at this price.
This seller also have NO official trading history on Lazada , no ratings .

And then you look at their product list , 65 inches Z9D for RM5000



Maybe if they do Cash On Delivery with you , but I am sure there will be all sort of excuses coming up
