Looking for a new 65" TV.... been surveying different brands / models but end up getting more confusing with their model and other mumbo jumbo details rclxub.gif

For TVs of this size it seems there are "cheap" versions of RM4k+, then the higher end ones (such as LG's new 65SJ850T with the Nano cell thingy) that goes up to 10k+, and finally the OLED ones which are out budget.

Can sifus here recommend me / help me narrow down on models to consider? From most to least frequent, the TV will be used for:

1) Movies
2) PS3 & PS4
3) Youtube, Netflix (LG is the clear winner here since I like their interface and the magic remote)
4) Normal TV (astro, etc) - don't really watch a lot. Mostly I just binge on whatever series I want selectively and these are usually via Netflix or downloaded.

If you noticed, I seem to be biased towards LG- I've only owned a LG 42" up till now, and I've been pretty satisfied with it (love the 100Hz picture smoothening thing "Motionflow" eventhough some says it makes the show looks "fake" due to the smoothness)

I have no experience with other brands and standing in the shop side by side, after 10 mins everything starts to look the same rclxub.gif however, I don't like Sharp, Toshiba and Phillips. Not sure what reason, just don't like tongue.gif

Budgetary-wise I hope to get one under RM10k. Most of the "cheap" versions (RM4k+) seems to get pretty horrible reviews online but I don't know how bad they will be in real life setting.

There's also an OLED version going for around RM12k in one of the shops (display set) - LG E6 if I recall. Not sure if worth it.

Thanks, the 65SJ850T is exactly what I bought, I placed my order last Thursday. I bought the +2 years warranty too. Total 4 years warranty. Is it worth it? Paid another 900 extra.

Didn't get the the Samsung recommended above because I couldn't find any display unit in a few shops I went to.

Good buy, enjoy the great picture from this TV. To me the only limitation on this TV is the peak brightness for SDR and lack of 3D compared to UH series from last year. Additional warranty is actually like buying insurance, it is definitely worth it when you need it.

There is still display set for KS7500, also the new set on 11street is at very reasonable price now. Simply because it is a curved panel, if flat it will have been out of stock for long time.

WTF, when you linked this is was 8.8k or something? Today it's 8,280.

I contacted the store (TBC Elektrik) from one of the 11street links. They had listed the price last week around 9.2k. They offered me 8.7k straight, no nego at all. I bought it from them.

Today your link shows 8,280 blink.gif

Something wrong with this TV model?

If you want great picture, you should go for either OLED (which is LG famous for) or QLED (or so called SUHD - Super UHD).

If for normal UHD, LG is not the best I would say. You can read review from Europe or the US. Mostly for LCD the 3 big name is Samsung, Sony, Panasonic. For OLED, LG has headstart and being the big manufacturer of OLED screen, Panasonic and Sony are buying OLED panel from LG. Well, screen is and picture quality is different story smile.gif

It is a norm for new TV that the price will just keep dropping. It will stabilized around 7k I believe by early next year when new models come out. This is from online store, so the price will change more than that of the shops. Don't look at the price after you have bought the TV, enjoy it. There are peoples who bought the OLED at 20K, now you can even get it at 11k.

Yes for that kind of price, definitely worth it, no TV at this price range has got the HDR10 + Dolby Vision. Just it is a used TV, not under full warranty, beware of the extended warranty as it could be tied to the 1st onwer.

Top selling TVs are all Samsung, Sony and LG, not Panasonic. LG is world no 2 TV makers. LG UHD TVs not receiving very good reviews due to only 1 reason, the IPS panel which has got low native contrast ratio. But overall LG makes good TV.

Thanks guys, you are right, I got a free sound bar together. The new price probably doesn't have sound bar bundled in. TBH, I don't need the sound bar and would have preferred the lower price :-/

Yeah, review usually LG doesn't get really outstanding score except for OLED. But I don't want to think already, the TV already arrive -.-

Will not be able to use it until A few days later, still sitting in the box. Haven't buy mount yet.

Any feedback on this model of Samsung TV?

Considering to get this with the 24 months installment plan.

Feature wise:
If a lot of people watching TV then go for flat screen better
If you plan to go 4k Bluray then Samsung got no plans to support Dobly Vision, but plan to push their own HDR+ standard with a few other companies

why do you say that? people dont prefer curve?

Am considering between these two models from LG & Samsung. Quite happy with KS7500's display, but haven't seen the LG's one in action yet. Any shops in Subang have displays?
Any owners of these models care to share their reviews?
Thank you.

For me, I won't choose any of these 3, my choice will be Pana EX600k. It's simply more superior than any of these. I have done my analysis and I believe my eye after comparing them side by side.

Thanks for the information. I cannot find Best Denki Malaysia's website (seems to be not available?). Only the Best Denki Singapore's website is available.

Anyway I have checked on the prices at Senq but the price for the KD65X7000E is RM5,229 which is RM830 more expensive than Lazada's price. The price of the KD55X7000E at RM3,199 is closer to online prices, about RM200-300 difference only when compared to >RM800 difference with the 65".

I checked in SONY centre MV today, model was selling 5499 with 5years warranty, but again you probably paying 1k extra for additional 3yrs warranty.

X8500e selling at 7999, this is an impressive display with android os but a bit steep of course

Yes that's quite true. Usually walk-in prices can be lower than those published on the website. Anyway I just found out that the KD-55X7000E is only priced at RM2,699 at Desa Home Theater shop in Kepong which may seem to be the lowest price offered for a shop. Maybe even lower than online price as well.

guys - between the two Sony Model

1) Sony 65X750D
2) Sony 65X7000e

anyone here using the 750d model, i understand it's a 2016 model. I'm wondering which one is better because the price is almost similar..

i came across Panasonic EX600k, the design is very sleek, black level quite decent in bright condition.

Yeah, Harvey Norman IPC Mutiara Damansara also offered that price although the price tag stated RM5.3k.
I had a good look at both the EX600 & X7000e both 65" ones and the Sony looks better to me in terms of black level and colours. To me the older 4K Panasonics seem to have had better colours than the current models. My opinion is based on the demo videos shown only, didn't actually change settings or play my own videos. I was expecting the Pana to be better than the Sony but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the Sony is for its price.
Was planning to check out the 58EX750 but couldn't find it in both HN IPC & Pavilion, the sales guy in Pavilion said its discontinued but I don't trust him because the sales guy at IPC HN said they can order it if I want. This model seems hard to find, so makes it tough to get it at a good price. At RM6k+ for 58", I'm tempted to top-up to a 55" C7T.

Sony Malaysia seems like selling TV for the sake of selling. Their models sooooo expensive compared to similar grade models from Samsung/LG

Sony have always been selling their products at a premium in Malaysia, and they are notorious for not reducing prices as the products age and its time for the next cycle products. But from what I can see they have improved somewhat these past 2 years but still a long way to go. Anyway, US prices are mostly cheaper than the rest of the world, compare against UK & AU prices and you will learn to bersyukur biggrin.gif

I’m also in the market for 65inch TV.

UHD is about RM5k

Super/Premium UHD RM8k
LG 65sj850t vs Samsung UA65MU7000 vs Sony X8500e

OLED is RM14k and out of my budget.

Haven’t decided but with models being replaced now, they should be clearing stock now.

I understand prices may drop in April/May when new models hit our shores (in time for the World Cup).

I would think you would be able to get UHD for RM4.5k and SUHD for RM7k soon.

Any comments or suggestions.

I think you can already get a reasonably good 65" UHD tv for RM4.5k. I would recommend the Sony X7000E & Hisense M5010. The downside of these 2 models are that the WCG is only for HDR. For a bit higher around RM5k you can get the Panasonic EX600 which I think has proper WCG but I don't know for sure because specs are sketchy.

For a mid-level 65" UHD, prices are still around RM8k+ which I think is a bit too high, so better to wait a few more months for prices to come down. RM6-7k is a more reasonable price point IMHO.

Based on the details and the warranty of 3 years, I think this is not exactly the X85E, its most likely the commercial variant which has a different model code. Don't know whether the specs are similar to the X85E.
There is a seller at Garage Sale selling these at an even cheaper price.

I see. I remember seeing a Samsung tv with a "big black spot" on the screen. The SA told me its because an LG promoter knocked on the tv to prove to a customer that LG screens are superior.
IPS screens are quite resilient but VA are not so resilient. But I think this applies to all VA screens and not only Samsung ones.

Samsung is not on my short list. Not confident on their long term reliability. My in-laws Samsung just went POP! One day and the set was dead and this is a less than 2 year unit.

I'm considering either Sony or Panasonic for the 65"

Samsung's standard warranty is 2 years. Under 2 years can still claim warranty.
Anyway, that sounds like a power supply issue, which is better than a panel issue coz panel is very expensive to replace if not under warranty.

From a value perspective, not worth it at that price. Will be worth it at about RM6k+ or 2k difference with X70E. Its better than X70E for sure but definitely not twice as good to warrant the almost doubling of price. Unfortunately, there are no good mid-end tvs at the 6k+ range right now for 65".

Sony KD-65X7000E currently at SenQ and Harvey Norman is about RM4788.

It may drop to RM4500 next month to clear stock.

8500e is at about RM8000 now.

I agree that 8500e is probably worth RM2k more than 7000e but not RM3k more.

So ideally 8500e should be between RM6k to RM6.5k.

That would still put it beyond the reach of many but would be closer to a fair value considering it’s an outgoing model which is sold for less than that in US and Australia.

See https://www.harveynorman.com.au/sony-65-x85...d-smart-tv.html.

AUSD 1995 @ RM6000

See https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR65X850E-65-I...t/dp/B01N5UZ1RG

USD 1198 @ RM4800

The 2018 model in US is USD1998 @ RM6000

See https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR65X850F-65-I...=dp_ob_title_ce

So a fair price would be RM6000.

We are being ripped off in Msia

Wait for new 2018 models for LG and Samsung to be launched in MY. Or apply HSBC Credit card via lazada and get lazada voucher(RM400 if not mistaken) and buy whichever TV you are targeting now.

For movies, the X8500E will be a better choice due to the VA panel which has better blacks than LG's IPS panels.

Sony have sold out all ZD9s, I believe all sold off during the anniversary sale. They still have a display set there but they don't want to sell it to me.
The earlier deal is very good since it also came with 5 years warranty.

If you're into using smart features, make sure the model can support or have smart remote that have mouse pointer using gyroscope sensor. It's so helpful in many instances. Smart TV should come with it as a standard.

If you have budget of course the x8500e is better. No brainer, go for it.

It seems LG's budget local dimming models don't do so well according to rtings. I think most likely i'll end up with the tested and proven MU6100...

If you check sony website. Assuming that old models will be gone, there is no 65" as the same class as zd9 other than OLED. X90 and X94 are 85" and 75". Not sure what sony is thinking.... sigh doh.gif

Yup, Sony really screw up in Malaysia with regards to mid-high end models. There are no good 65" models in this range. It seems that the 2018 models are going to be the same also. The wonderful X9000F seems to be only sold in 85".
Which means if you want 65" you either take the X85 or the Oled.

Sony Electronics Asia Pac HQ is in Singapore. Asia Pac always exclude Japan, China & India (sometimes Korea also) because those markets are big enough to be standalone setups.
In fact most big companies have their Asia Pac HQs in Singapore to look after small markets like SG, MY, VN, PH, ID, TH, etc.

Z9D is still the best back lit LCD TV that I have seen to date mainly due to the excellent FALD backlighting. Wish I was there to grab the 65" unit at below RM9k. There will be some nice LCD TV coming out this year but the price will be at the level of an OLED.

went and have a brief look, the MU6100 got a narrow viewing angle. The Panasonic EX600 looks very nice, but not sure about the performance for dark scenes and the likes. X7000 has got wide viewing angle.

Need more time to compare the X7000 vs the EX600

Both also good but i remember the ex600 has active panel or something for better black.... problem is cant tell because the videos they use for demo doesnt show black but vivid colours.

i myself leaning more towards the sony 65" 850e but the price...... blink.gif and the same model only costs SGD 2000 in SG.

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.

Based on the details and the warranty of 3 years, I think this is not exactly the X85E, its most likely the commercial variant which has a different model code. Don't know whether the specs are similar to the X85E.
There is a seller at Garage Sale selling these at an even cheaper price.
*
Is commercial variant better than consumer variant?
From where I worked last time in TV product engineering, Consumer visual quality is better than commercial.
Those downgrade bin from consumer we sell to commercial. Not sure if this is the same case.

the argument is, consumer view TV closer to the screen at home and at higher attention. For commercial, some tiny defect wont be easily noticible and people just don't care if they sees it.

Those downgrade bin from consumer we sell to commercial. Not sure if this is the same case.

the argument is, consumer view TV closer to the screen at home and at higher attention. For commercial, some tiny defect wont be easily noticible and people just don't care if they sees it.
*
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!

The price you got for the KD65X8500E at RM6236.10 is rather low as the advertised price on the Sony Store is RM7699 after discount. The difference RM7699-6236.10 is RM1462.90.

Did you check the price of the other models such as KD55X8000E? The price indicated on the Sony Store is RM5499. Perhaps the price in-store is close to RM4,000 after discount?

The price listed for the KD65X8000E after discount is RM7699. Original price was (gulp) RM9999 which is RM10k after round-up. RM6236.10 price that can be had in-store appears to be a rather big discount from RM10k.

I wished had extra few k for better looking and better PQ TV..

Was eyeing to E630X & X8500E but settled with MU6100 in the end (cheapest among the 3)

Mainly use for Astro/Netflix/downloaded movies/series in the living hall.

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.

Yes, it's amazing that the price of these TVs keep going down at a rather quick pace. So the 65X8500C was selling at RM10k in January 2016. It's now April 2018 so it's more than 2 years already and the updated model is now 65X8500E and it's now selling at a discounted price of RM6k+. When 8500F is launched, perhaps the 8500E will be below RM6k.

Good information, thanks. And good price you've got for the 65X8500E. Will be checking these TVs out soon when the time comes. The current TV is still working fine (more than 10 years already) but noticed the brightness and colour are not as rich when bought new, and not to mention technology has improved and prices of good quality big screen TVs are now rather affordable. Who knows you can now get a good quality TV like the Sony 65X8500E at below RM7k these days when it's close to RM20k more than ten years ago.

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.

The earlier deal is very good since it also came with 5 years warranty.

Hi,
Sony is selling the display set for the Z9D. The price is slightly higher at RM8,999 with 2 year warranty.
What's your thought about it?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Already bought it. Unfortunately Sony only gave me a standard 2 years warranty. Try to purchase an additional 3 years warranty but it will be quite expensive since they will calculate it based on the original pricing.

So far the performance of the tv is great. Thanks for the advise before.

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.

It's from Sony Center KLCC. Too bad I can only get 2 years warranty but touch-wood, hopefully it will be ok for the long run.

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.

Correction , mostly nobody really care about LG TV unless you are talking about their OLED series , which are stunning products of course.

All of their current mid-low range TV are using RGBW Panel which is essentially a 3k TV unless you buying this TV to display snow scenes and White project fields in your office.


Beside that , their current RGBW TV has the some of the worst picture quality I have ever seen from any Branded TV (discounting those subpar Chinese brand like skyworth)
If you want to get an LG TV , avoid getting the low/mid range but even their highend LED series aren't very good either .


And they are not much cheaper as well , the other brand's similar range only like Rm100 apart but at the very least all of them come pre-equipped 4K Panel.
You do not want to save that RM 100 for something that will come and bite you off in the future.

Forget the Q7, it have better in color gamut if compared to MU7000, the rest almost similar to MU7000. This is compare between 2017 model, I believe 2018 is similar.

Go for Q9 instead 😁

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.

I'm the TS originally asking for recommendation for the TV. I ended up getting the LG 65SJ850T (http://www.lg.com/my/tvs/lg-65SJ850T)

Since purchasing it last year around October till now, I've had the panel replaced once due to vertical line appearing while watching the TV (usually around 1-2 hours in)

After replacement, the same problem has started appearing again.

I'm not sure if I got a lemon unit or this model is defective, anyway it's so heartbreaking to see my almost brand new TV like this T.T

I've also found out the line goes away if I apply gentle pressure at the bottom edge where it appears. Just a gentle press and it goes away.

Waiting for LG to come again for the 2nd round. In the meantime, any idea on why this is happening / how to fix this?

Attached Image

EDIT: Can't rotate picture, keeps uploading sideways sweat.gif

FWIW, I think the local dimming feature advertised for this model is not worth it. The picture quality is nice, but the local dimming usually results in patchy white spots all over as the TV tries to "switch off" all the dark areas so that it appears blacker.

don't think you can fix it. perhaps try switching on aircon or try putting a fan to see if the problem go away since you said it only appear after 1-2 hours.

When it comes to LED TV, Samsung Quantum Dot & QLED TVs are the best choices in terms of value (maybe not the 2017 QLED line though..)

OLED, LG's offerings are still the best in terms of value. Cheaper, identical or better performance than other brands and easier to find.

I'm still happily enjoying my Samsung Quantum Dot TV 65KS7500. If you guys can find any 2016 Quantum Dot TVs for cheap, grab it! They're still better than most TVs and they can still give the 2018 QLED line a run for their money.

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.

If the price is more expensive than it should be, then yes, it is low in value. Not too concerned about the back panel though. Something that can be easily fixed by Samsung since it's glue-based.

I got mine about RM1000 cheaper than the cheapest price on 11street.my which is why I recommended to grab one if anybody finds it for cheap.

If your looking for budget 65 inch tv go for samsung, the mu6100....if you dig deep enough it is possible to get it for sub rm4k mark....the picture quality is good, va panel so the the black level is good...the input lag is very low, good for gaming, tizen smart tv system is fine,
Just 1 flaw, the viewing angle is terrible tho...u need to watch the it exactly infront of it due to the sweet spot is quite small....then again its a bloody big tv why you want to watch it off ange anyway..

Any latest promo for 65” TV.

With GST abolishment, Raya promotions, World Cup promotions and clearing stock of 2017 models. June should be the best time to get a TV.

I’m thinking of a Sony 7000E vs 8500E.

RM5k vs RM7k

A good price would probably be RM4k vs RM6k

I got mine for RM8K (at the time, cheapest from 11street was RM8.9K) from Banhuat.com, a shop based in Penang. Delivered via CityLink and arrived in 2 days. Very fast service and helpful salespeople. It was on sale so I doubt they have any in stock now though.

UPDATE: just checked, they have a 65 inch Samsung MU9000 set for RM7,999. Pretty good deal for a TV with decent HDR performance, IMHO. Although if it was up to me, I would probably save up for another RM2k and then get the LG 65-inch C6 OLED TV from Desa Home Theatre for RM9999.

If HDR is a dealbreaker, definitely choose the 8500E over 7000E. Wide Colour Gamut is an essential feature.

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.

Hi sifus,

I'm currently in the hunt for a 65' TV, been reading this thread since the starting and I notice a major siding towards the Sony brand.

Reason I asked is because I have a 4-4.5k budget for the tv, honestly it's just for basic usage such as Astro/occasional downloaded movies/iflix/youtube. Most of the time it's probably gonna just sit there unless I have the time (which I don't).

One Living recommended me the UA65MU6100 (RM4.4K) also the LG 65UJ652T (RM4.6K) and to be frank I'll probably just choose the one with the cheaper pricing.

Thoughts? and thank you very much for your inputs, I'd appreciate 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.

Was there just now and yes it's RM5999, with 2+3 years warranty.

The RM550 voucher can only be used for the next purchase and discount not more than 10% of the item price. Meaning that need to spend RM5500 to use the RM550 voucher.

Tempted to get 1, anyone one here wanna buy together? Then we can use the RM550 for the 2nd unit and share the saving between us thumbup.gif

But the promo is until tomorrow as per the price tag, not sure if they will extend it or not.

Hi sifus,

I'm currently in the hunt for a 65' TV, been reading this thread since the starting and I notice a major siding towards the Sony brand.

Reason I asked is because I have a 4-4.5k budget for the tv, honestly it's just for basic usage such as Astro/occasional downloaded movies/iflix/youtube. Most of the time it's probably gonna just sit there unless I have the time (which I don't).

One Living recommended me the UA65MU6100 (RM4.4K) also the LG 65UJ652T (RM4.6K) and to be frank I'll probably just choose the one with the cheaper pricing.

Thoughts? and thank you very much for your inputs, I'd appreciate it.
*
Refer to above post, see if you wanna up your budget a bit then we can share the RM550 saving smile.gif

Else they are selling the Samsung model that you wanted at less than 4.1k if I remember correctly.

According to them, it's free delivery + installation in Klang Valley. They will even help to mount it on the wall for you if you buy the wall mount from them, cheapest at RM99. Maybe can get it for free if we buy 2 units together smile.gif

For the promo price, there's no 0% instalment plan from them. But nowadays cc got their own promo, or even 0% balance transfer.

PM me once you have decided ya smile.gif

Based on Rtings review, X8500F appears to be an IPS panel except for the 85" model. Better to get X8500E or the Samsung MU7000 since its only RM5k now for the 65".

Better buy a new tv first and then sell your current tv. Otherwise, by the time you sell your current tv, your options will change due to stock availability and prices.

Since mid-end tvs like X8500E & MU7000 have gone down in price and are at around RM5k now, the X7000E is a very poor choice unless you find it for RM3k. I feel that the 1k+ price difference between low-end and mid-end is really too small to cheap out. Better go for the mid-end if you can afford it.

65X7000E had been around RM3.5 - RM4.2k for quite a while. At that time it was worth it because the mid-end tvs were above RM7k.
Someone posted a picture of it being RM5k at Best Denki KLCC on the Samsung TV thread. Good price, grab fast before they run out of stock.

I accompanied my friend to Harvey Norman today.

He got a good deal on Sony KD-55X7000E 55" 4K Ultra HD TV, RM2544.

See http://www.harveynorman.com.my/tv-blu-ray-...ltra-hd-tv.html

I am still looking for 65 inch TV.

My choice is 8500E. In Harvey Norman, it’s selling for RM6744(including 5 year warranty).

Seng Heng is selling it for RM6744, with additional 10% voucher for next purchase. If you use Citibank credit card, you get 4 years warranty.

What do you guys think?

Harvey Norman vs Seng Heng. Which is better deal?

For the record Harvey Norman has dropped the price for 65 inch 7000E to RM4244 with additional 5% voucher for next purchase.

So basically there is a 2k difference between 7000E vs 8500E.

Is it worth the difference?

Thanks

Oh. And desa home is giving out a RM500 or RM550 voucher as well with the 65" 8500E.

Screwed up part is the fact that desa home in one city usj was difficult to find. And the fact that their staff there didn't believe me when I said the 8500E did not come with local dimming actually put me off. They were really hard selling the Hisense and LG TVs.

Actually from review, MU7000 rate slightly higher then NU7300, as NU7300 is on par with MU6300.

I choose NU7300 in the end becos:
1. It is newer, support HDR+
2. Remote is the same as MU7000 (rting.com mentioned NU7300 remote is diff)
3. It is curved
4. Cheaper then MU7000

sengheng penang doing promo on sony 65x8500e

nett price 6744 and they give 10% discount in sengheng vouchers valid for 2 years. on top that, you can trade in any lcd tv >24in for rm750. if u sign up member then get 2+1 year warranty. and if you use citibank credit card, get another 2 years additional warranty. and get some free gifts...

so if the promo meets your criteria, it's quite worth. my 5yr old 24in lcd bought for 899 back then also can get traded in for 750 smile.gif

Grab a 65x7000e from senheng during the recent lazada sales, rm3.6k only.

But from the discussion here, seems that it's better to go for x8500e (for additional 2.4k) or the MU7100 (additional 1.4k). May i know is it worth to change the model? tv not delivered yet, so maybe can still change from senheng.

Thanks

p/s - mostly used to watch the downloaded 720 files and also youtube

Grab a 65x7000e from senheng during the recent lazada sales, rm3.6k only.

If you are mainly using for 720p downloads and youtube, then you don't even need a 4k TV lol.
Just stick with the x7000e unless you plan to go into 4K downloads/Blu ray.

Like Lego Warfare said since you don't intend to watch 4K or even 1080p, its not worth it to get a higher level 4K tv than X7000E. In fact, it will make more sense for you to get a 1080p tv if you can find a good model at a cheap price.

Forget the Q7, it have better in color gamut if compared to MU7000, the rest almost similar to MU7000. This is compare between 2017 model, I believe 2018 is similar.

Go for Q9 instead 😁
*
The 2018 version are not similar at all .


The 2018 Q7FN has some pretty amazing peak brightness, spiking up to 2k nits ++ in its 10% window , which is brighter than most TV on market right now.

MU7000, on the other hand has pretty disappointing brightness.
The Q7FN also seem to have the best Color gamut and Color volume among any of the current LED TV now , which is a pretty big achievement on Samsung's part.

Q9FN is in the league of its own world . It is basically Oled level of performance without the concerns of burn-ins and even better color gamut.

Agreed. Q9F is on a league of its own. Surveyed it online and just saw that it was recently launched in Senheng with a free soundbar. Q7F is the too.

Had dem feelings viewing the Q9F during the Samsung QLED launch last week. Woooo.. the picture quality, the sound quality. Wow

I was at their TV conference. I must say the Q9fn blow me away , despite owning an OLED . The colors just look so damn good .



Just from my bare eyes alone , I couldn't actually tell if it is an OLED or LED, it was very very bright as well , never seen a TV so bright before especially around the edge

My only problem with it , is the black crushing was a little strong , probably due to the Ultra Aggressive FALD , when they switched over to those small sparkling light dots , they become quite dim at times .

I managed to get 65" Sony 8500E for RM6099 from Harvey Norman.

Price difference between 7000E and 8500E is about RM2k.

I hope its worth the RM2k extra I paid for 8500e.

Delivery expected on Tuesday.

worth, the 7000e is a basic 4k tv. for the price difference you pay you get two main features in which the 7000e doesnt have. 1) X1 HDR chip, for 4k upscaling ans 2) Tri-Luminos Display, or wider colour gamut.

A lot of shops have these two models put side by side, you will see the difference, especially clear blue skies and lush greens

Seating distance is about 9 feet. But it feels a bit of a stain to the eyes esp on HD channels esp moving fro. A 46 inch tv which I had for 6 years.

Just wondering whether I should hv go e for a 55 inch instead.

Hopefully I will get used to it

It is very usable if you're talking about Netflix, Youtube, IPTV Client, Bluetooth Headphone connection and sideload apps. My needs are just the basic, to watch IPTV and 4K bluray.

Deciding factor:
1) Budget, the difference should be about RM2000
2) Colour reproduction, the 7000e's colour look slightly bland or flat compared to 8500e.
3) Android TV is clunky, but if you have your TV hooked to a console, just use the apps at your console.
4) UPscaling available on 8500e

Different people have different expectations, if you don mind the less premium PQ, then go for the 7000e
Sound quality is crap for this tv, so use the money saved to get a HT-X9000F 2018 soundbar (RM2k) ;p

Nope , I don't think Sony plans to update supports of DV for x7000e , only for their High End Pricey LED and OLEDS .

New Unit ?

RM 4850 for a 65 inches premium TV with Wide Color Gamut is quite a nice offer .

Although You may also want to look into NU8000 , which is this year's model . It is quite a lot brighter than MU8000

I don't think its local dimming will work too well , because its an Edge lit LED TV .
Only Sony is known to have made excellent edge lit Local dimming TV as of today.

Even lower end LED TVs from Sony have already received update for Dolby Vision support. No 7000E though, but some 7500E models are also supported.

3 years ago I bought an entry level Panasonic HDTV.
From 1st day I never stop complaining . They even send technician to my house to calibrate, change IPS panel, still I am not satisfy....they even offer for me to add $$ to upgrade.

From that day onwards, I try not to buy entry level.

That is for streaming. Read properly all the way.
Dolby Vision content is supported for video streaming apps/services installed on the TV such as Amazon Prime Video and Netflix (Z9D, X9500E, X9400E, X9300E, A1 only)*

Dolby Vision support for HDMI* is for the rest of the listed TVs as above as long their media/UHD Blu ray player is DV capable.

IF care about Dolby vision. LG oled is better choice. Because Sony Dolby vision is software base , not like LG is chip-set based. Now only 4k Apple TV & sony x700 uhd player can provide Dolby vision content through Hdmi port to Sony TV.

Oppo uhd player is still made the new firmware to compatible with Sony Dolby vision. almost half a year, the firmware still not come out.

DV support is like HDR support, it doesn't mean anything if its on a low end tv because it may only make the PQ worse rather than better. If at all it manages to make the PQ better, its a fluke that happens for a particular tv show or movie. Even on high end TVs it only makes a subtle difference (if any at all) in most cases. So, DV for now should not be a main consideration to buy a tv especially if you are playing at the budget end of the scale.

Resolution (4k/8k) doesn't make that much of a difference, so your purchasing logic is not very sound. I would not pay a single cent more for an 8k tv right now (if there was one to buy in the first place - no that Sharp tv that you are thinking about right now is not really 8K) since it will make all non 8k/4k sources upscale very badly. In fact I will not buy an 8K tv until 4k is the most common resolution for broadcast tv which will probably happen sometime in 2030.

Prices will eventually come down so you can wait and see until prices become reasonable for you. In the meantime, just buy the Hisense 5010 and enjoy biggrin.gif

This will largely depends on if the source supported HDR or not .
UHD movies refer to the resolution of the content , it has nothing to do with HDR . There are 1080p HDR content on as well .

If it is a UHD HDR movie , only by then the brightness of the content will be affected .

HDR movies are normally displayed dimmer , that is because they have a larger headroom to swing around from the brightest white to deepest black .

If the TV has poor HDR performance , the HDR movies will appear dim ( Washed Out ) and unimpressive all the time.
This however does not limit to only mid range models , some of the high end overpriced TV models also suffer from the same issue .

No of course not, some mid range TV can do decent too . The primary factors of HDR performance of TV are mostly the following :

brightness ratings across different APL
the Local Dimming system
the color performance ( coverage and volume )
native contrast ( black levels performance in particular )


With the technology we have today , as long as it ticks 3 out of the 4 , it should be considered as a good HDR experience.
There are also other factors involved such as the EOTF tracking but those can be subjective .

All TVs do tonemappings , to a certain degree . When calibrated correctly , most decent TV do not crush blacks details .

The only QLED that do that is Q9FN , because of the Ultra aggressive FALD it has . This TV can produce a contrast Level of ~ almost 20000 : 1 . That is much more improved than any other existing LED TVs on the market. This doesn't mean the TV sucks , this is still the most impressive LED TV out there , its worth losing some black details for all that extraordinary brightness , color volume and black level .

MicroLED still has a long way to go , the WALL showed off by Samsung was not a practical consumer TV at all. . Unless you want to wait like 9 years for Micro LED to come out , there are better choices around as of this moment.

During CES 2017 , Sony had released this statement " ”Selected Sony TVs (ZD9, XE94, XE93 and A1 Series) will support Dolby Vision with the software update to be rolled out in Europe within April, 2018. To enjoy Dolby Vision content, the video streaming app/service must support Dolby Vision ”

On your subsequent message , you mentioned
QUOTE

Regardless of the external device , if your TV is unable to process Dolby vision ( which consist of Dynamic Meta Data feedings ) when the playback device send these data to your TV , it will not process it as the way it was meant to play . Playing Dolby Vision content require extra CPU power , the lower tiers and mid range TV may not have enough CPU power on top of the tasks they were already assigned to such as motion interpolation and BFI.


The same Dolby Visions firmware update do applies to some of these lower end models , because the firmware bring more improvement than just DV updates . But these firmware will not magically upgrade mid-low range TVs hardware to process DV correctly. Just checked this with a calibrator on an updated x8000e .


If you are still in doubt , do check 7500F here . Dolby Vision isn't listed as the recognized HDR format , compare to the X1 Extreme models.

It is better than none . So far even on TVs with crappy local dimming like most Samsung mid range TV has , I tend to notice significant improvement , especially playing darker movies with tiny highlights .

Hisense dimming system is a little slow at catching up , but I personally have not tested this TV before , not enough at least . So I will leave the opinions to others who have.

That's what I have been talking about for a while , respect & enjoy the technology .

You have done your research , you got your eyes locked on something , you know what you are getting. By all means just enjoy what you have bought , who cares what other feature it lacks , most important thing is you are happy with your purchase.

When people like me criticize a TV , it doesn't mean you shouldn't get it . I just want you to be aware of what you are buying , it's not like I make any profit if you end up purchasing a certain brand or models .

Any mid range led 65 inch TV do you recommend can play well HDR UHD movie? Actually I wish to buy the best mid-range TV in USA 65 inch 900f. But Sony only bring 85in TV size to Malaysia.
May be Sony only bring good hdr 65 in Z9F tv with x1 ultimate to Malaysia.

Hi Guys,

Between Sony Z9D (65") and X8500E (65"), which would be a better choice given that the X8500E is 2017 product vs Z9D being a 2016 product. Any downside to Z9D in terms of technology? Have a friend offering to offload his good condition Z9D close to the X8500E price, so seems like a good deal on retail price itself.

TIA.

Any mid range led 65 inch TV do you recommend can play well HDR UHD movie?  Actually I wish to buy the best mid-range TV in USA 65 inch 900f. But  Sony only bring 85in TV size to Malaysia.
May be Sony only bring good hdr 65 in Z9F tv with x1 ultimate to Malaysia.
*
I wouldn't call X900F a mid range models , because of the pricing and size availability in MY, which is a shame because it is a really good TV.
Rumor is that Sony is planning to release the successor of A1E and Z9D within the year , again the price will probably shoot through the roof and remain out of reach for typical consumers .


Regardless , I do have a few Mid-range models in mind .
Since you specifically mentioned HDR , I will only emphasize on the VA Panels because of the contrast advantage .


Samsung NU 8000

Base on the pricing and models , this is my personal pick for the best mid range 55/65 VA panels in MY at the moment.

It has all the features you need for a decent HDR performance .
From Local Dimming ( edge-lit , not very good but better than nothing ) , Wide Color Gamut , excellent SDR brightness , above average HDR Brightness , good at showing brief bright highlights , 120 fps motion interpolation ( except the 49 inches which use the 60 hz panel )

For its price , its hard to find major flaws on this TV

the 2018 QLED brothers :

Samsung Q6FN
Entry level QLED , comparable with NU8000, except it has better coverage of colors because of the Quantum Dot panel and thus , excellent color volumes as well ( can show wider range of colors across different levels of brightness) just like all of its bigger brothers.

Samsung Q7FN
This little bad ass is quite a buy if you can afford it . An upgrade in almost everything from Q6FN . Especially with that 2000 Nits brightness .

Samsung Q8C
Samsung MY 's 2018 "new" model . I think the 55 inches have dropped below 10k now . This model was actually released last year (2017) in US / UK . I don't know why Samsung MY is rebranding it as a new 2018 TV , but their PR wouldn't tell us much . Unlike its other 2018 Q8FN counterpart , this TV doesn't has Full Array Local Dimming.


Something worth noting , these Samsung models supports Variable Refresh Rates , a.k.a FreeSync , which is nice if you plan to play PC games and Xbox games on these TVs.

Sony XF83
a relatively new Sony mid range VA model for 2018 . I don't know very much about it yet , but I know it is an android TV , doesn't has a local dimming system , has WCG, great motion features like most Sony TVs , probably the same brightness rating as last year's x8000e/x8500e , which is not impressive .

There's another notable mention , the Panasonic FX750K , which is another great VA TV. Sadly it isn't available in 65 inches .

LG 's 2018 models of the same range are all IPS panels .

Hi Guys,

Between Sony Z9D (65") and X8500E (65"), which would be a better choice given that the X8500E is 2017 product vs Z9D being a 2016 product. Any downside to Z9D in terms of technology? Have a friend offering to offload his good condition Z9D close to the X8500E price, so seems like a good deal on retail price itself.

TIA.

There is no comparison really. Z9D is everything XE85 aspire to be , but fall miserably short of .

Thanks for reply. In your post, contrast is important factor for Hdr performance. I should avoid Sony XF85 which is IPS panel (except 85 inch) . Samsung 2018 qled Tv is good choice , but because they put new feature Auto low latency mode for xbox one x . This new nice feature make all exiting any brand Av receiver not compatible with Samsung 2018 premium TV which start from NU8000 to Q9FN . Many 10bit 4k Hdr device cannot pass through video from av receiver to TV . But the device direct plug in TV is function normally. So I still need to observe Samsung team can solve this problem with Firmware or not. IF not, I have to wait another year, hope Sony bring some 65 inch premium LED TV next year. Or take the burn in risk to buy LG OLED C8.

I have had similar issues with Samsung TVs before , PS4 struggling to output at YUV444 with handshake problems.
PS4 pro downgrade the Full RGB HDR to YUV 422 HDR, still having the HDMI handshake problems even after a cable exchange.

MY 3 LG TV seems to do fine with it . My friend's Samsung Q8c don't seem to have the problems , so yea I am not sure if its due to bandwidth limits or TV defective ports . There is a very length discussion thread on Sony's forum which makes me believe my problem isn't an isolated case . Outputting YUV422 shouldn't require HDMI 2.1 either.



If your TV watching habits are not too extreme , do consider an OLED . You should be safe from the Burn In risks as long as you take care of the TV.
No other TVs can come close to the picture quality of OLEDs

LG OLEDs from 2018 do come with a new logo dimming feature in additional to Picture Shifting and Pixel Refresher .

It tunes down the brightness of static logos by roughly 20%. This will probably slightly reduce the chance of getting BI , still the -20% is nothing much since these 2018 panels are quite damn bright.


LG and some retailers also provide warranty for "burn marks" ( according to them ) for the first few years , so you shouldn't need to worry too much about burn in issues , at least not for the first few years within the warranty period.

With that being said , if your family watch channels with static logos , that can problematic in the long term .

I won't say it is competely safe , everything come with a risk . It is whether if the Picture Quality offered by OLED worth trading the risk of getting BI . For me and many of the OLED owners around here , it is worth every penny I have spent on it , so much that I am a proud owner of 3 OLEDs right now


The important thing here is to understand why is the screen is vulnerable to BI , because of the uneven aging of the OLED pixels .
Static logos tend to be bright , colorful . The brightest candles also burn out the fastest , the same logic applies here.

So the key to avoid Burn Ins , is to vary the purpose you used TV for . Playing games for awhile , watching sport channels of 2 hours , use it as display gallery for 30 minutes , back to watching HDR shows on Netflix etc etc


Theres also a massive flaw on these OLED TVs . Once you get used to owning one , you will not want to go to cinema , because you will keep staring at the black portion of the Cinema screen and wondering , why does her hair looks like gray smile.gif

OLED TV is strictly for watching Movies from Netflix or TV box like Apple TV.

If Astro or Sport, just get a cheap TV.

Since Lg provide warranty for "burn marks" first 2 years. I got confident to try oled. I am very sad that Sony oled do not provide warranty for "burn marks". So I will skip Sony Oled. So When I buy Lg oled, should I check 5% grey vertical banding? IF I found vertical banding is serious, Can I exchange another TV?

It is up to LG . If you report to LG they will send technician to inspect and advice on the issue first , base on the severity of the problem , the technician may give you a green light for exchange or repair .


You should know OLED always have near black uniformity issues , particularly in the range of 2-10% gray .
The next unit they have exchanged or repaired might not necessarily be better. It is a manufacturing flaw in OLEDs , they can't be avoided .
Luckily even in the most serious case , this is not a problem in 99% of the situation.

You mean the X940E  , X940F doesn't exist yet.
Since you're going to put them in a bright room , you will want a decently bright TV . The NU8000 is the brightest among your list.
The Sony and LG's model are IPS TV , so they can be handy if you have guests gathering around your living room from time to time . But they are not as bright as the NU8000.
Q7FN is a pretty big upgrade over NU8000  , it is an unusually bright and colorful TV which makes it a great performing candidate in a living room. The 65 inches can be a little pricey though . You also mentioned PS4 and watching movie , so you will want to give HDR capabilities of the TV a little consideration.
About the 6800x , I know there are definitely quite some fans of this model .

So I am threading carefully here before they swarm over my inbox like the fanbois from other brands .

6800x is a mid range Sharp TV but they are priced closer to basic 4k TV on the market  , which is amazing value since you get WCG ( not as wide as those OLEDs and QLEDs ) , impressive contrast ( as expected from a VA TV ) , a 60 inches screen in one package .

But when compare with other mid range TVs , their performance instantly crumbles .
Notably the complete lack of motion handling ( which was confirmed by the Chinese reviewers ) , the mediocre TV brightness ( its the dimmest TV out of the 4 ) , the lack of Dynamic meta data HDR support ( such as HDR 10 + &  Dolby Vision )  , the HDR performance also leave a lot to be desired .

It is something they have to compromise for the unbeatable price .

Q7FN definitely looking sexy although at a cool RM15k it is out of my budget. Even the 65" Q6FN goes for RM11K which is still out of my budget.

NU8000 looks like a really bright TV. I'm still not sure if I should go for it even though I like its look. You see, my hall doesn't really gets bright with just sunlight, even in daylight cctv still showing in night vision mode unless I turn on the lights. Wife doesn't really like too bright of a tv too. Tried to find MU7000 but can't find a good price for it, at most I saw was RM5999 over at 11street which makes choosing NU8000 over it much much a sensible choice. Too bad it doesn't have dts codes which one of my criteria. Why is it I see NU8000 and MU8000 somewhat similar?

Does the NU8000 support dts passthrough?

Yea the pricing of those QLED models are a little silly . Q6FN is pretty much just like NU8000 except it is a Quantum Dots display , so it is slightly more colorful than NU8000 but I find its pricing a little absurd because it doesn't offer much over the NU8000.


The NU8000 is a bright TV but it isn't that bright compare with the likes of Z9D , Q9FN , Q7FN.

If your wife doesn't like the TV being too bright , you can always turn down the luminance settings .

When you have a bright TV you have the luxury to adjust the brightness to suit your needs.
While playing HDR content , some of those effects can look really eyepopping on brighter TVs .

Note : although brightness is not the only factor to determine HDR performance


NU8000 is the successor of MU7000 , MU8000 is a step up over MU7000 . The MU8000 uses full glossy screen coating , which can provide better anti reflection in a bright room. Beside that , MU8000 and MU7000 are pretty identical . Yea I know all these model numbers are very confusing .

Unfortunately, the tv ( NU8000 ) can't pass DTS 5.1 audio to an external receiver, but this isn't usually a problem because most content provides both DTS and Dolby Digital audio streams.

Yea the pricing of those QLED models are a little silly . Q6FN is pretty much just like NU8000 except it is a Quantum Dots display , so it is slightly more colorful than NU8000 but I find its pricing a little absurd because it doesn't offer much over the NU8000.
The NU8000 is a bright TV but it isn't that bright compare with the likes of Z9D , Q9FN , Q7FN.

If your wife doesn't like the TV being too bright , you can always turn down the luminance settings .

When you have a bright TV  you have the luxury to adjust the brightness to suit your needs.
While playing HDR content , some of those effects can look really eyepopping on brighter TVs .

Note : although brightness is not the only factor to determine HDR performance
NU8000 is the successor of MU7000 , MU8000 is a step up over MU7000 . The MU8000 uses full glossy screen coating , which can provide better anti reflection in a bright room. Beside that , MU8000 and MU7000 are pretty identical .  Yea I know all these model numbers are very confusing .

What's the recommended pricing for NU8000 series for 55" and 65"?

Just came over this TV and quite interesting on getting it.

After months of survey, will just go for the 65 X8500E display sets, not many lying around. Mainly watch in dark / dimly lit room. RM6400 for the tv + RM6600 for ST-5000 Atmos sound bar. Its too bad that 2018 X8500F uses IPS panels.

Bought NU8000 and hope won’t regret it

Once a Sony supporter but looking at their 2018 mid range lineup, kind of disappointing ..

VESA isn't a brand, it is a grouping of 300 ++ companies coming together setting a standard across the brands.

The VESA mounting standards is used by most TV/Panels for the measurement of mounting interface.

NU8000 has a VESA 200X200 If I remember correctly , but the one I linked you is flexible enough to hold a 65 inches NU8000 , since it weights around 33kg .

Funny question but need to ask anyway. Do you keep your 65" TV brown box? My Sony 65" is now close to 3 years but still afraid if it encounters any problem and requires repair or unforseen relocation/moving to a new house in the future where the box is needed for safe transportation?

The box is so big, sometime I feel like throwing it away but surrounded by dilemma stated above.

Box disposed off on the day of delivery itself by the deliverymen. Over the course of +-1 yr since there has been warranty claims, they come right up to your doorstep.

The box may be useful if you plan to relocate though, especially if it's a big TV and you are hiring 3rd party services.

That being said, the more premium relocation services should be able to take care of fragile / sensitive equipment for you.

The XF75F is basically XF70F ( a.k.a X7000F ,which is the entry level 4k model from Sony )with an Android OS . So if you are keen on buying the models , might as well save some money and get an Android Box + XF70 .


NU8000 is the mid range models from Samsung , it has some neat features like good screen brightness and decent HDR performance .


Overall NU8000 is the better TV but do remember it is a VA panel while XF75 and XF70 are both IPS TVs , therefore your room condition should also be considered here.

Q6FN is pretty much a NU8000 with Quantum Dot color filter , which has better reproduction of colors under different brightness levels .
But the TV can't get anywhere as bright as its bigger brother like Q7FN & QF9N , there is also some compromise in the color performance.

Since the advantage is only noticeable in very specific large & super bright HDR scenes ( which is not very common ), it is not worth spending much more money for Q6FN .

Stick with NU8000 or spend a bit more for the Q7FN instead.

Its called competition and what you have mentioned is anti-competitive behavior and price-fixing. I have reported to MYCC and let's see if they will investigate this price fixing by retailers.

You can't because most display shop doesn't loop HDR demo on their screen .

You need to play HDR content on these TVs to notice them.
For SDR content there isn't going to be any change.

A total budget of 10k for 2 TVs ? That's tricky .

You will need to decide which TV you will want to invest more for better picture quality.


I suggest you get an IPS TV for the living hall , so you can invite friends and family to watch the TV off axis without much of the picture deterioration.
Sony's 65 " XF85 / X8500F seems pretty nice. Or you can get a Panasonic FX750 instead.

For personal rooms , get a VA TV instead.

There is a large selection of VA TVs , Samsung 55" NU8000 is a pretty good bargain .
If you prefer an Android TV , the Sony 55" XF8300 is a fitting choice.

NU7400 uses Dynamic Crystal Color whereas the NU7100 uses the cheaper Color Pur tech.
HDR content are much nicer on the NU7400. 65" NU7400 is the best all rounder i think in terms of price and quality

I'm using both. Really depends on how you watch your tv. I use the adjustable in the kitchen where I can easily turn it to where I'm facing whereas the other one is good for living hall as my watching angle doesn't varies much.

Not sure about the price but you can check with One Living Puchong. I find their price cheapest after asking around many shops.

Petronas voucher is from Samsung, should be the same offer no matter which shop you buy from.

Bought the NU8000 for RM5999 on Lazada. Waiting for 2nd delivery as I wasn't home earlier today. Good deal?

Btw, I'm using 55" Plasma right now, can I re-use the wall mount to mount 65" NU8000?

You need to check how much weight does your wall mount bracket supports . If you are not sure , I suggest you get a new one since they are fairly affordable these days .
Better to play it safe than to be sorry later.

65 inches of NU8000 is about 30 KG ( 24-27kg to be exact ) and has a VESA mounting interface of 400 x 400 .

Actually, the bracket can support NU8000 as the tv is lighter than my previous plasma. It just that it is shorter as it was intended for 55" TV.
Went ahead and bought phison brand bracket, installed on the same spot as my previous bracket and it does the job very well.

Trying to get ARC to play well with HTS is a nightmare.

I got ARC working. Cheap and expensive cable doesn't make any difference, I tested.

I use LG BH7530TW HTS. It got 2 HDMI IN port and 1 HDMI OUT.
I have an android box and hypptv connected to a hdmi switch, this switch then connected to LG HTS HDMI IN 1.
I also have a PS4 connected to TV's HDMI 3.

So, what weird is if I turn on either android box or hypptv, then I will have arc working. So now, when I want to play PS4, I will need to also turn on the android box to get ARC.

Tell me your setup, maybe I could help.

Hi all sifus, is anyone here using NU8000 or samsung 2018 4k tv that pairs with Denon AVR? is there any issues with 4k HDR signals from denon avr to the tv? I'm planning to buy NU8000..however, i read that there are issues with Denon receivers particularly on 4k HDR signals due to EDID issues...im using Denon x2300w currently, im afraid it will have issues with 4k HDR signals

There really isn't anything you can do . Since Samsung has added VRR to their TV , the extended EDID timing has been causing a lot of problems with the Denon AVR . All of the 2018 QLEDs and NU8000 models are affected .

Doesn't help the fact that Samsung and Denon have been putting the blames on each others . From what I heard , Denon and Samsung both have promised to patch the problem a while ago . We just aren't sure if they have actually fixed it . It works for some people and it doesn't for some people .

If the worst come to worst , you will have to do direct plugging .

Yea, i have gotten a confirmation from a forumer in AVS forum via private message that the 4K HDR signal has been resolved. The forumer is using NU8000 with Denon x3200w while mine is x2300w, i guess it works the same. I've also double checked the latest firmware changelog for x2300w which includes ALLM and extended EDID being patched.

If not, my next best choice will be the Sony x75f series, cheaper by around RM1k..but i find the panel brightness is not very bright.

Direct plug in will sacrifice dolby atmos, true hd, etc....very sad...this will be the worst scenario...aiks, hopefully everything will go well, planning to get it by this weekend, One living is offering me Rm4,280 for 55 inch NU8000. Will look at TBM and Desa also

I am using LG so called Nano Cell technology (65SJ850T I think?), it tries to simulate deep blacks by having local dimming. In my opinion, it's not nice. Anytime there's a picture on the screen, the LED will light up the entire vertical bar above and below it and it's distracting esp in dark scenes.

Example, subtitle appear on a dark scene, the entire middle part of the screen lights up vertically and ruins the dark scene.

I'm not sure if other brands / QLED are using the same method.

I think you can get OLED at a reasonable size below RM10k now.

I spent RM8.5k on my TV.

You just need to understand , there are 2 primary technology for TV display now .
There is the self emissive kind like OLEDs and Plasma ( which is long dead ) & the LED-LCD type , which need to rely on its LED backlights to illuminate its picture .



So , regardless of whatever alphabets the TV makers are putting in front of their LED TVs , such as " QLED " , " XLED " , " ULED " ... etc , the core structure of TV remain the same .
If they are the same , why give them a different term ? Because that is , apparently the fancy way for TV makers to market their modern display now.

ULED ? shocking.gif That sounds like something completely new and exciting , which I am sure have piqued the curiosity of the general public more than you would imagine.

I am using LG so called Nano Cell technology (65SJ850T I think?), it tries to simulate deep blacks by having local dimming. In my opinion, it's not nice. Anytime there's a picture on the screen, the LED will light up the entire vertical bar above and below it and it's distracting esp in dark scenes.

The Nano Cell is LG's proprietary IPS TV with wide color gamut .


But I am sorry to say this but LG 's IPS TV are pretty much not worth it . They have a rather awkward position in the market now , as many of them are edge-lit based hence the local dimming is pretty much not effective yet the price tags of these higher end TV make it very difficult to justify their purchases.


To be fair , LG have also released a couple of Full-Array local dimming IPS TV this year like the UK8500 & 9500 , but it is still in the experimental stage and no where as good as the high end LCD TVs from Samsung and Sony. It is hard to recommend them as the price is high and not nearly having the same level of picture quality of their OLED lineups.

Agree... Mind you, it's not like there's any problem with the TV or anything. It's still perfectly OK for your daily usage and the occasional movie but I feel there are other options at this kind of price

Thanks.

Looking for a new 65" TV.... been surveying different brands / models but end up getting more confusing with their model and other mumbo jumbo details  rclxub.gif

For TVs of this size it seems there are "cheap" versions of RM4k+, then the higher end ones (such as LG's new 65SJ850T with the Nano cell thingy) that goes up to 10k+, and finally the OLED ones which are out budget.

Can sifus here recommend me / help me narrow down on models to consider? From most to least frequent, the TV will be used for:

1) Movies
2) PS3 & PS4
3) Youtube, Netflix (LG is the clear winner here since I like their interface and the magic remote)
4) Normal TV (astro, etc) - don't really watch a lot. Mostly I just binge on whatever series I want selectively and these are usually via Netflix or downloaded.

If you noticed, I seem to be biased towards LG- I've only owned a LG 42" up till now, and I've been pretty satisfied with it (love the 100Hz picture smoothening thing "Motionflow" eventhough some says it makes the show looks "fake" due to the smoothness)

I have no experience with other brands and standing in the shop side by side, after 10 mins everything starts to look the same  rclxub.gif however, I don't like Sharp, Toshiba and Phillips. Not sure what reason, just don't like tongue.gif

Budgetary-wise I hope to get one under RM10k. Most of the "cheap" versions (RM4k+) seems to get pretty horrible reviews online but I don't know how bad they will be in real life setting.

There's also an OLED version going for around RM12k in one of the shops (display set) - LG E6 if I recall. Not sure if worth it.

Got your TV? I have 1 unit of Sony OLED TV for sales. Model KD-65A1, original RSP @ RM17,640, now sales @ RM11,465.
It's a roadshow display set, 99% new. Visit link below:

Question, if one was buying 65" for mostly streaming content like on 4k youtube and HD astro, would Hisense 65n3000uw for RM3250 suffice?
Or would it be better to go for Hisense 65m5010uw with bells & whistles like HDR and HDCP2.2(which one has no interest in using in the near future) for RM3799?

These HDR TVs are literally going by titles only . They bring almost nothing on the table beside showing very little color improvement during HDR playbacks.
TBF, they should not be classified as HDR displays at all.

But as an SDR and 4K TV , they will make do . HDR Videos on youtube are fairly limited anyway .


The 5010 has a more premium look with metal frame bezel , 4 HDMI ports ( n3000 has 3 ).

Correct. I'm still trying to justify the rm549 for HDR, one extra HDMI port and one USB 3.0 port. It's for my parents actually and I know they won't be using any set top blu ray or I'll plugging any gaming consoles to it. I forsee streaming services taking center stage in the next few years.

I recommend Hisense 65" Class H9E Plus. But it's a bit pricey.

H9E isn't available outside of US.

And it is no HDR TV , the Samsung mid-range NU8000 is far better equipped than it , a lot cheaper too .

The problem isn't as simple as that .
They have just released too many models based on the same lineup.


There is a x7003f , a x7002f and a x7093f (and more ) within the same XF70 series . They may or may not be using the same panel.
And I have no idea why did these TV brands decide to release so many different version of the same model to complicate matters.


The best solution is still to call them and confirm with the model numbers first . There are just too many variation for one to remember.
