Yup, hopefully the X9000F will come to Malaysia in a variety of sizes too but its definitely going to be above RM10k for the 65" model. Unfortunately Samsung screwed up big time with their pricing on QLEDs, otherwise there will be more choices in 2017/2018 with reasonable prices. In other countries, the QLEDs became cheap very fast but in Malaysia its still more expensive than LG's OLEDs which doesn't even make any sense. We simply don't have any good choice of LCD tvs at a reasonable price below Oleds. So one has to either get a budget model like X70E, EX600 or MU6100 or a mediocre low mid-range like X85E, MU7000 or NU8700 for a lot more money.

No idea whether its better or worse. What I do know is that it has some additional inputs for control & some advertisement software capabilities. Based on a forummer who bought a unit, seems to be the same TV with a different model name.

Good price. Hope you enjoy the tv.
For those who are still looking One Living has the 65MU700 for Rm6,900 or rm7k depending on the store.

Wrong quote, post was meant for loon23. Just realized your price went even lower! That's a great price for this TV. Buy, buy, buy!

Sony seems to be clearing the stock for their old models before they launch the 2018 models. Now is a good time to buy. Also, Sony Store/Centre's extended warranty is cheaper than other shops.
Once all cleared, will need to get from other resellers like HN, 1Living, Senq, etc.

I'm speculating that the new 65X8500F will probably have a slightly cheaper retail price, maybe RM8-9k due to our stronger RM now and also due to the price of 4k tvs coming down further. When I bought my first 4k tv in Jan 2016, the 65X8500C was selling at a street price of RM10k, end up have to settle for a 55" due to budget constraints.

I don't think it will go down that much more, probably quite close to the lowest it will ever be. If wait too long risk not being able to find any.
Take note that most retailers are notorious for not reducing their prices even after the newer models have been released. Sometimes they will only lower their prices 2 years later.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Want to buy my 55" Samsung PLS?

Great! Good decision. Hope you enjoy your new tv

Good deal especially with the 5 year warranty.

Samsung QLEDs were extremely overpriced in 2017 and seem to be still overpriced for 2018 models. Better look elsewhere or wait for prices to come down to more reasonable levels.

KS models are almost entirely gone. A few that I have seen were getting more & more expensive. Coupled with their allegedly poor build quality (back panel coming off), IMO they represent poor value now.

How much did you get yours and from where? Still got stock?

That's a good price but now even if can find, cannot get for 8k. I saw one at HN Pavillion for RM10,400 and its a display set with a big spot of damaged panel. 2 months ago it was RM8700 (the same exact tv with the damaged panel).

That's a reasonably good deal for a MU9000, will be better if they throw in extra 3 years warranty for that price. Those who are still looking should consider it.

For 2017 LCD TV, Sony has the best models with reasonable prices. Samsung screwed up big time with their TVs being worse than 2016 models and substantially more expensive. LG LCD TVs use IPS panels so they are not preferred by most enthusiasts but their OLEDs are good & the cheapest (compared to other brands' OLEDs). Panasonic was also popular for their low & mid end models but Panasonic seems not very interested in marketing their TVs.

So in general for LCD, get a Sony, for OLED get an LG. This is of course an oversimplification because you need to look at specific models and sizes to judge a TV but I hope my summary was helpful.

The 65MU6100 is better than the 65UJ652T and since its also cheaper than the LG, you should just get it since it meets the criteria for your usage. But I think you can find it at RM4k or slightly lower now.
