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 .

Is it something like this better? If too close to wall, a bit hard to plug in hdmi/usb device.

Just got nu8000, currently using original stand, looking for bracket too

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.

Thanks.

I wonder how much would a postage cost to send this model to Kedah?

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?

any TV bracket to recommend for 65"?

Found some in lazada, but from picture it is very hard to identify their quality. Any particular brand to intro?

Bought one brand phison. Does the job.

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.

Yeah, price difference a lot between sellers. I initially went to a store near my place the cheapest they sold (same model) is RM94 and others as high as RM135! Looked on shopee and went ahead to COD with a seller in Penang for RM48.

Im also having problem with my 55in NU8000. Cant get ARC to work with my Onkyo. Any solution?

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.
