Thanks for the advice. I am certainly not expecting spoonfeeding. My issue is navigating the interface, eg unable to get to "ok" or "search". Just can't seems to figure it out. Its not like an android phone where there is touch screen. The air mouse does help, ie works like a mouse, but strangely doesn't work on the search button.

Assuming you are using the Neo A3.. The airmouse does simulate touching the screen. So on a traditional phone, what do you do after scrolling to highlight or select a search/textbox? You tap on it right? Same thing, hover the cursor over a text box/area and tap (press the Enter/Android logo button) on it.

Yes neo A3. For some reason mainly the upper bar of apps (search etc) doesn't response. If I hover the cursor to select movies, shows and click the enter/android logo button it works.

Yup.. Today's TVs have come a long way. Just be sure to get one with decent picture quality and true "smarts"..Cuz not all smarts are automatically good.

Unfortunately I'm on a low budget.
Just ordered the Sony 55inch 4k smart tv, model X7000F.

What do you think about this entry level smart tv?

Compared it with the Samsung NU7100 side by side and both picture quality looks similar to me.

Hopefully it is user friendly as this is my first time owning a smart tv.
Currently using those old fashion CRT tv.

I see.. Perhaps then, the app has a faulty design where the text bar is concerned.. Cuz its supposed to work. Does it work for say chrome browser? As in to enter a url?

Can't discuss TVs in here.. OT.. But rest assured that you've made a huge jump in tech.. Welcome to the 4K HDR10 world.. rclxms.gif Your problems now would be finding similarly stunning content to view.. Good luck.. smile.gif

It'll take some getting used to. No worries, you should get the hang of it soon. Checked out the model and it's the regular Bravia OS and not ATV. Netflix and YouTube 4K should be attainable easy.. You'll need an external media box for other needs.

I'd reckon it's unrooted.. At least it shouldn't be.. To be on the better side of Google and Netflix.

Mecool KM9..?
voncrane lazada not much review on it. found one on lazada but it was preloaded and rooted.

anyone other choices?

i checkout lazada, those seller who sell preloaded channel (e.g Tx3, Tx6, T9, MX10, EVPAD), this mean they have their own app to access content? instead of like Kodi App or dedicated app like Netflix those?

For the Mecool KM9, you can buy from other online stores.. Not necessarily must be local only. There's Aliexpress or Gearbest.. Alternatively, you could still purchase from Lazada and factory reset the device.. If stock firmware, it should reset to default without the preloaded stuffs.

From the 5 listed devices, EVPAD is probably the only one that has its own ehem apps for content.. The rest are typicaly sellers just pre-installing a bunch of stuff that you may or may not need. Apps/services you can find yourself anyway.. I prefer a stock, light and mean firmware..then customize as to my liking vs having to deal with unnecessary crap and the issues that will crop up later when the apps die of or clash.

Depends on your needs. There be certain content that one can't access without using a VPN. Similarly, sometimes it can help bypass ISP throttling, thereby improving streaming speeds. So for such cases, having one helps.

You can go ahead to purchase it and try it out.. Technically it should work, seeing as it works on it's older sibling.. the MeCool M8S Pro L.
