I just surveyed rm8.2k for lg oled 55 b6t. High end but 55 inch only. Im also looking at sharp 65 630x really good color and black when i see it at the shop. Price around 5.7k cheapest i can find. I dont have have a chance to look with my own eye the lg 65 770T quantum dot local dimming HDR pro for only rm6.9k. Dilemma which one to choose. Currently using 55 samsung fhd. Wanna have a significant upgrade with best bang for buck.

Bro the LG 65 770T got HDR?

Owh, found it: http://www.lazada.com.my/lg-55uh770t-55-uh...y-18397052.html

hi bro yes it has hrd dobly vision.

http://m.11street.my/productdetail/lg-65-s...gh-end-16637689

It has all the bell and whistles of high end tv but the only setback is online review doesnt rate this tv good enough. They always said oled is top range. Samsung ks9000 ks8000 then follow by sony z series and 9 series full array tv. Then only comes samsung sony x850d, ks7000 and lg 850t 770t. Maybe websites are reffering to picture quality. Yes lg suhd pq is not as bright as samsung and doesnt has sony full led array.

Maybe we should just hold on with the purchase and wait end of 2017 where samsung is coming with qled technology. Has both the superb feature of quantum display on brightness side and has the super feature of oled display on the darkness side.

The Sharp's 630x range doesn't come with HDR though. IMHO, HDR is a more important feature than the 4k itself
*
Right bro, so for that range if I'm aiming 65 inches with HDR price around 6k to 8k, what do you suggest?

sony 65 KD-X850D? or samsung 60 inch KS7000? or LG 65 UH770T?

actually I'm in dellema is it quantum dot and HR-10 is it really that important?

Haven't test Samsung yet. But yes, its a Netflix TV. Thanks bro
Thanks bro. Actually my current TV is 42 inch. So any further size upgrade is sure will give a big impact to me. But is there any big difference in viewing in getting 55inch vs 65 inch TV? Wah OLED TV I think much more expensive compare to my current budjet now. Cannot really afford it sad.gif

Oled b6 55 is at rm7999 desa home with free soundbar. Its a steel bro. Imagine perfect black and no viewing angle issue and it supports all the latest tech. But its a bit small 55 inches. 65 inches oled all rm13k onwards regards any year model

Thank you for suggesting this model. Very good review. But it seems this model is not Netflix certified TV for 4k  stream. For C6 model it's supported. But I saw in LG website says it support. Confused already
*
Bro, this tv it has everything. If you have budget 6k to 7k for led which i had before as well, thinking about ks7000, kd8500d, lg770t and even sharp 630x. But after thinking and keep reading review, omg led movies pq can never match oled. You should stretch a little more budget and the extra you pay is worth cause oled production cost is higher than led. I watched 4k hdr trailer on yourtube. Really blown my eye away. Never go back to led once you have and oled.

which one worth to buy?

Dont buy 615t. Try close look at the pixels arrangement, its not the same than the rest. Ku6000 is the good 4k 8bit panel led

After some reading, I think I understand abit now. For Sony/Samsung they use HDR stream, LG use Dolby Vision. I believe those 2 format both are 4K. Already query some shop near my place, cheapest for LG B6 is RM8500 and comes with free Soundbar. But the sales person said the soundbar I need to redeem back from LG. Just send back the purchase receipt from shop to LG office and they will send you the soundbar. I will try call Desa Theater tomorrow and check whether they got stock with cheaper price or not. And most important to view it also.

Yes bro, the quality is the type even samsung ks9000 also cannot achieve. The nearest i have seen before my own eye is panasonic dx900 but not perfect. I have no chance to view sony z93. Trust me bro the brightness that samsung claim max 1000 nits. You cant use that everyday. Too bright untill will glare your eyes. Oled brightness is just good for everyday use and doesnt need to tune it down

Agreed bro with your comments, from my viewing experience at TBM cheras sentral 4th floor, they displayed pacific rim blue-ray all over the tvs.

I stood there hours just to check the differences and here is what I noticed

1. Oled TV has the best overall balance. Perfect black, infinite contrast, stunning 10 bit colours, good viewing angle. But at the cost of the price. Wanted always a 65 inchers, but can buy 2 55inches. So doesn't make sense, 55 is the most value for money. Compare to US, 55 B6T the lowest it goes on promo is around 1.5k USD, so here if around RM7-8k, ok justifiable, not being rip off by LG malaysia or retail store.

2. Panasonic 65 DX900, promo now at 13k+, full array led backlight, stuning black, pictures pop up, viewing angle is good, motion is perfect. I guess a good IPS tech implementation. But it's still LCD LED.

3. Samsung KS9000, 65 inches still doesn't want to drop price at rm16k. KS7500 65 inches at RM12k. Of course the KS9000 has better blacks than KS7500 and colours more pop, but still loss to the 2 above. Sad side is the this 2 panels must watch from straight direct 90 degrees from the TV panel, Else colours all washed out and totally unwatchable. With the price like that ok, I give up on samsung. Unless go for budget 55 models around 5k+. But still if like that I rather go 55 oled at around 7k-8k. smile.gif. To be honest samsung Malaysia is a piece of shyte, they can give good price on thier KU series, but their high end series, they still holding to the price when QLED is just around the corner. I registered to samsung US, the KS8000 65 the price is much much lower than here. KS8000 and KS7500 is the same series in different regions.

4. 65 Sharp 630x. When I carefully watch pacific rim side by side with the rest. Amazingly, this TV PQ and colour is 8bit are good too. Viewing angle slightly wider than samsung. The black slightly less than KS9000 (view from straight, KS9000 view from side is totally rubbish). This TV doesnt support HDR, Dobly vision but hey, at this price RM5.8k best i can find, what can I expect more.

5. 65 Sony KD8500D, read around it has good motions, 10 bit panel colours, but not sure why when I watched at the shop, the blacks looks greyish and worst than sharp. :/ and the asking price is too much around rm7.6k. Not my cup of tea for this price.

6. 65 LG 770t, picture is washed out. But it has hard display surface coating. Try scratch with your fingers on it. It doesn't turn to black colour. The grey is very bad among all. But the best price I found is RM6.2k on promo. smile.gif If not picky can get this I guess. 10 bit panel. On paper it's like supports all the latest tech dobly vision, hdr pro and bla bla, but look at this TV capability like wrong advertising.

Thank you for the honest review. At first its really hard for me to decide LG B6 as the price is way too expensive. I believe since OLED is a new technology, thats the reason why it come with a higher price tag.

But then after reading few reviews from website and real customer review who actually bought the unit, that justify me to extend my budget little further. After all, buying a TV is not like you want to do it every year. As for my case, my previous old plasma last me for 8 years and it is still going strong until now to serve me. Only reason to upgrade is to view HD and 4K content and I believe in terms of shaving my monthly electricity bill, OLED is much more better in power consumption if compare to my existing plasma.

Will make a trip today to Desa Home Theater to actually demo the unit and most probably if got stock, want to bring it home today. May I know if the Free Soundbar is given on the spot or you need to redeem it from LG HQ? Thank

Hows your trip to desa? Yes the soundbar has to redeem from LG itself.

I went there yesterday and audit the display set. Moment i saw it, wahh no wonder this thing got so many fav reviews. Test source is from Astro HD and Blu Ray. Im so impress with it. But i think the soundbar that comes with it lack some bass. Is it maybe because the shop is quite big, and I cannot hear exactly how the soundbar? Hopefully when I use it in my apartment, I will sound better. But that actually doesn't stop me in getting the unit. Just swipe my card at RM7999. Only that they don't carry any stock in hand. Need to order and collect back this Tuesday. Do you think it worth to get additional 3 years warranty from LG. That alone cost me additional RM700. Thanks
*
Bro, congrats. I don't use the soundbar. Got a simple set of 5.1 sound setup with AV receiver. I still yet to submit my redeem form yet. Maybe tomorrow. Must submit and reach LG HQ before 15 April latest. Better to send quick. Don't rugi ma. Sell off can take back some money right smile.gif

Yesterday I managed to calibrate the oled TV with the best setting found on one of the youtube video. AVforum calibration doesn't works well. Picture looks dull. But another calibration video by Drako is perfect. See already wow, so accurate color and Im impressed. Let me know if you want the link to the video.

For the warranty, I never opt for it. This is very subjective on how you think. Say 5 years if anything spoils, they will fix for you, if no parts they will give you a new TV. Imagine 5 years later, TV got problem and no more B6 model, they will give you a new model equivalent or higher. But myself I never take it. 2 years is enough. I'm on budget and cost conscious when comes to depreciation stuffs.

Bro,just collect the TV this evening.. This LG tv really make the Netflix title shine. Watching Marco Polo and wowww, can't describe how happy I am especially when looking a small Dolby icon.  And best part is the upscale. My 720P movie look so good.

I'm still fiddling the setting and the button. Feels like a bit lost when using the Remote. Btw the standard setting already look so good. I wonder how good will it be once I calibrate it. Care the  share the link? Thanks

Hey, do you feel the same where you see the dark scene is 100% black? then the bright pixel next to it so clear and bright. Perfect black and infinite contrast. Suddenly do you feel that your money well spend? smile.gif

Btw how you watch netflix? Netflix Malaysia or Netflix US over VPN? PM me bro how you subscribe and the details.

For the calibration youtube URL.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZZK4pVIQ3s&t=415s

It covers the pure white tone, increase red and also make the motion better.

Or you can use this too. It's accurate as well

I'm currently looking for best 4k around my budget 5 to 7k. I'm currently sold out my samsung 48JU6000 because the 4k display is quite suck and abit blur for motion. Any best option beside LG OLED tv?  icon_question.gif

Hi, if you really want tv that can handle good motion, you have to go for Sony, KD-X8500D. For 65 inches it's slightly more than 7k a little.
But this TV PQ is far from LG Oled at the same price range. smile.gif

Actually Samsung ku6000 still better than lg but if u really in tight budget u can try bought this(link below) u r going to use the tv for another few more years so think carefully before buy...if u really in tight budget I suggest u drop the plan to get 4k tv and go for full HD tv like sharp 275x u can get cheaper too... U said your budget is 2k to 2.5k and I suggest u to get this dam good 4k colour too u wont be regret and below 2.5k http://www.lazada.com.my/sharp-50-4k-uhd-l...0x-9270782.html if u still wanna choose between lg and Samsung try demo both of them which colour suits u I think u can demo in senheng or aeon like that...happy hunting

Ks6000 bro. Its much better than 615t in term of quality, try putting your phone on the screen with white background, you will noticed that the pixel arrangement is wierd on the 615t model. Samsung sony panasonic all same pixel arrangement.

KS6000 only good when use as pc monitor or play console games with low input lag. If want picture quality, sharp is much better than these 2 models like 275x, 330x, 440x or 630x

Thanks for the advice so far

Wish to ask now, between the Sharp 330x and Samsung ku6000, which would be better? Was thinking of getting 55 inches

58" sharp is around 33xx
55" Samsung is around 30xx

Anyone can chime in on pros and cons between these two?
*
Ok bro, 330x is basic TV no smart OS in it. When you get external box, not able to play 4k netflix, 4k youtube. However the picture is nicer than ku6000. If 4k content is not your concern this is definately i better one.

For KU6000 comes with smart TIZEN OS, I believe it can play 4k netflix and 4k youtube. But hopefully an owner here can share his experience or you can check out at the shop.

that, is to close a sale for budget sensitive buyers.

the diff is real - becos 4k, HDR have better engines.

not just astro - applies to all HD input.

of course, the best for the TV is obtained with 4k and HDR input.
*
4K alone not enough, if source that supports HDR or Dolby Vision, watching experience is stunning especially with wide color gamut.

smile.gif I also upgraded a TV that supports both and never never regret at all. A bit sad only when I feed in SD source from TV satellite provider. doh.gif

is the android tv os that comes with the sony tv support hdr? will it better than himedia since the android is fully integrated with the tv.

i don't have the latest sony tv, my old sony tv youtube video looks much better than the youtube video output from my himedia q6. probably it is more optimized and fully integrated with the tv.
*
Bro himedia q boxes only got 2 bad things. Both are netflix and youtube both not supporting full hd and qhd/4k respectively.

So you need the build in tv os to play 4k netflix and youtube.

When i first got my q10pro i also got shocked why..then someone here said himedia box is not the official authorized device from netflix and youtube.

Hope this help but 8500d sony got triluminus and 65 inches is sweet with 4k hdr support. At that price nothing to ask more. If you look at samsung ks7500 65 inches, its more than double the price.

I bought the q10pro because it can play 4k content smoothly and nicety preinstall all the ehem apps to watch those free movies, live tvs and etc
