Make sure you test it kaw kaw with some test screens - white, yellow, red, etc. The reason I say that is because the few times I have been there, the Z9D display was stuck on the Hot air balloon scene, the video was like it was on pause throughout. I don't know why that was so, maybe the device running the video hanged or the TV's android hanged. So, test it to make sure that there are no permanent burn-ins. And yes, burn in is possible on an LCD screen although its usually just temporary image retention and not a permanent burn in.

Also, try to negotiate for a 5 year warranty. If they refuse, then buy their 5 year warranty, its quite cheap compared to other retailers.

Better grab it fast before someone else does.

FYI, I also saw a Samsung 65KS9500 display set at TBM Tropicana mall selling for RM10k. The set looks pristine.

If you want the cheapest 65" 4k tv that is reasonably good, Sony X7000E or pay slightly more for the Hisense M5010 at Harvey Norman. Hisense comes with 3 years warranty and IMO its a better tv than the Sony X70E but their brand perception in Malaysia is poor and their price is not that cheap.

X7000E is good enough to last 5 years

any idea how much a k65x7000e would cost over there?

Where is the location of the shop? I will say it still worth consider even though it is a display set, Z9D is the LED TV that I love the most. I have a display set TV with me and it has been working perfectly fine, but do ensure you get 5 years warranty.

Sony Store Suria KLCC. This is the last Z9D available for sale in Malaysia. Grab it quick

Sony X9300E also almost gone. eyeing that or the new QLED or X900F. Both should went for sell around this month or early may

Is it overkill if getting X8500E just for watching astro?

SAM-UA65MU6300 vs SNY-KD65X7000E vs LG-65UJ630T

Care to give opinion on which one is the best? All are around 5k

Yes.

X9300E only have 55" and price is still 9k if I remember correctly. Better buy LG C7 for that price.
New QLEDs look promising but prices will be quite high.

I'm looking 55 only. Lurking in 65 inch thread 🤣🤣. The new qled or x900f 55 should be around 8-9k. I'm. Too afraid those thin OLED, afraid my sons will smack the screen and break it.

To be honest, I don't think VA panels are stronger than the Oleds. VA panels are easily damaged too from smacking. This is always a risk for parents with kids. I have seen some broken tvs on Mudah due to anak baling something on the tv and really kesian coz the tv is only a few months old.

Haha.. if that is a major concern then get the IPS panel then, my kids throw their hard toys on my LG also no issue.

That is true, I currently have a Samsung PLS (Samsung's version of IPS) tv that is very strong. Never threw anything at it but have tried pressing on the screen and its very tough.
Gonna be putting it up for sale now since I have upgraded.

AMstrong
Want to buy my 55" Samsung PLS?

is LG brand is good for TV?

LG is the world 2nd largest TV manufacturer, just behind Samsung. Of coz it is a strong brand. Whether to buy LG TV or not, it all depends on your requirements and budget. LG LED TV using IPS panel, you need to understand the pros and cons of such panel. LG WebOS is one of the best smart TV OS out there and the TV is quite reliable from my own experience.

Astro has got HD channels also, you still can appreciate the quality of picture after the 4K upscale.
Normally you won't think of good media player and UHD movies until you have got a good TV.
