Sony Bravia LCD KDL-32D3000 (2007) amazingly still ok  Sony Bravia LED KDL-40NX803 (2011) still ok except if switched on too long will give vertical lines (started last month), if let it cool a bit then back to ok. Samsung 4K UA48JU6000K bought last year obviously no problem just yet. LG 4K 49UF640T bought last month, yet to give me any trouble. I think the poll somehow will give us some idea which brand people buy most, consequently more people will report its problems. Samsung marketing has been so good for the past few years, more people buy Samsung as compare to more expensive Sony, thus reflect more reports on Samsung. Furthermore people (including me) tend to believe brand like Sony put more attention to quality as compared to other brands. But this time I just want to test Korean brand like Samsung and LG and see their reputation. This post has been edited by nikrizal: May 15 2016, 02:10 PM |

QUOTE(OPT @ May 15 2016, 04:58 PM) What do you think of those 4Ks that you had bought? Is it better in display over Full HD at below 50 inch? I'm positive that 4k display is much better provided you are watching native 4k content (for me Netflix & Youtube 4K videos). Even with TV below 50" you will notice the difference. 4K TVs have four times more pixel than full HD thus you'll experience more clearer pictures/videos. I can confirm that in 4K tvs the image has more detail than that of 1080p tvs. You'll be able to see details of threads on clothes, amazing details of hairs and overall edges around objects are much smoother. I've read somewhere that certain viewing distance is quite crucial if you really want to experience the difference between 4K and 1080 quality. For 50" 4K TV, the viewing distance is around 2.0 meters, which is happening to be in my case  . Beyond that you'll need a larger tv. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ May 15 2016, 10:50 PM) 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. well explained!  |

QUOTE(OPT @ May 16 2016, 10:48 PM) Getting extended warranty is ok for me, just cannot be without TV for extended time  TVs nowadays usually have two years warranty. If you need more then you need to buy additional warranty. I bought additional 3 years warranty for my Samsung 4K so it has 5 years warranty. It cost me around RM300 from Seng Heng. The other one, LG, I just stick for 2 years warranty, just hope nothing will happen in 5 years time  |

QUOTE(OPT @ May 17 2016, 02:12 PM) 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... Lucky I bought the extra warranty!  |

QUOTE(jovigrunge @ May 26 2016, 04:35 PM) There must be a valid reason why Samsung was on top of the problematic list. They're best seller, then obviously more complaints compare to others' lower sales |
