Any close alternatives for Samsung NU8000? Without sacrificing the picture quality. At least it should looks OK from a casual enthusiast perspective. Mainly for movies and shows. Ideal budget between 3-4k~ Preferable 65 inch. (Though if there is no other choices, I think might just get the 55 inch NU8000)

HLK currently offers 55 inch NU8000 for RM3,199 while the 65's goes for RM5,699.

Those are very good prices, I'm assuming this is in store pricing? I haven't seen the NU8000 55" for less than RM4k or the 65" for less than RM6k

The NU8000 is a very good mid range TV, better peak brightness compared to the equivalent priced LG or Sony sets. Very good if you have HDR sources although I recommend spending some time tuning it. It comes with a VA panel so there are pros and cons to that too. I personally would've bought one but I turn on the TV only 1-2 times a week so decided to save money instead biggrin.gif

This is a great explanation. Thanks.

I wanted to add on top of Convael's explanation that on top of getting the ideal TV model, you should calibrate the TV settings and more importantly use proper source to get good HDR images. Bluray is ideal, Netflix/Amazon Prime is just ok in my opinion due to the compression. If you torrent then the 40GB files tend to look better than the 4GB ones, but even at 800Mbps it'll take hours to download a 40GB file.

Enjoy!
