if u r watching mostly 720p, save the money, don't get a 4k tv.

4k tv is good for "1-step" upscale, i.e. 1080p->2160p.

but not "2-steps".

720p comes out ok, but the tv is underutilized.

hypptv, astro signals are 1080i, better than 720p, they come out quite good on a 4k tv.

4k material is best, of course but is rare.

next best... 4ktv upscales full 1080p videos like bdmv's very well, gets close to 4k.

as for me , its unfair to say which brand is the most problematic , as my samsung 4 years LCD tv still fine since the day bought it , i believe its depending on luck , when the time come to k.o its nothing we can do , all brands are like that , nothing will last longer nowdays

that's when warranty/extended w/insurance comes in,

rm1-2k, no bother, just junk if it fails right after normal warranty.

>rm3k, should consider.

For someone who has yet to purchase extended warranty...

1. If TV rosak within warranty, you sent in for repair, thus 2-3 weeks no TV?
2. Normally extended warranty is for how many years? 2-3 yrs? How frequent will TV rosak within 2 - 3 years?

1. same like car no? accident, workshop, no car...

2. some tv's come with 1, some 2. some can add 1, 2, 3.
depends on tv, outlet, seller...

you must have experienced breaking down RIGHT AFTER std warranty expires!

like i say, for a tv, 5 years is min expected. 6-8 good, >8 excellent.

My TV so far so good, belum rosak  , no add on warranty because they were cheap in the first place 

technically, a tv's life is described as xy,000 hours of operation.

so, if u use it lightly, can last a long long time.

but in reality, so many things can go wrong...

for users like me that use a 5-10 hours a day, get extended warranty for costly tv.

need it to last 5 years min.
but yes... if buy cheap-cheap tv, can change all the time.

Getting extended warranty is ok for me, just cannot be without TV for extended time 

LG plasma 720p 50" bought in year 2007 stll fine, but my brother and friend bought samsung LCD/Plasma same time already using their 3rd set now.

So I dare not touch samsung, although it claimed that the colour very nice..

Ya, a lot of so called bad perception to Korean brands, especially Samsung. Probably in the past, but I had talked to a lot of repairman and electronics shops and they said the same thing...

My TV so far so good, belum rosak  , no add on warranty because they were cheap in the first place, and it would pain me to be without TV for a long period - I would rather go out and straight buy a brand new TV 

my samsung lcd tv also so far so good since bought it ... warranty expired long time ago , but if rosak i think im gonna buy a new one straight away 4k UHD tv may be 

Somehow, I'm slightly hoping that my TV will break soon ...also intention to get 4k
