yr tv uses google's androidtv.

yr phone uses android open source project (aosp) or generic android.

apps in androidtv has to be approved and authorized by google, much less in playstore.

apps is generic android are not controlled by google, can be by anyone, a lot more available in playstore.

when i checked at the store during visit a couple of months ago, it was android7.0.

best one so far:

I pay 3500 for the TV and get the bag + 5 years warranty. Already a better deal than ESS and HN quoted me.

this one is a curious model.

there is 50", 60".

now comes a 45"!

pretty much same features, just RM300-400 lower than the 50".

i haven't got mine!

it was from:
smart tv = "do things while connected to internet".

diff tv brands use diff smart platforms.

google's androidtv platform is good becos u can do almost any app like u do with android phone, android tablet or android box.

found only in sony and sharp 4k tv's.

becos very few models.

actually, i read some PHILIPS models also have androidtv, just not sold locally.

was at AV fair putra hotel today.

desa home theater: sharp lc60ua6800x - rm3699 with 2+3 year warranty, no gifts.

but get rm50 voucher for every rm500 value purchase, i.e. that for that tv purchase, u get 7xrm50 vouchers.

vouchers to be used 1xrm50 for every rm500 NEXT purchase, valid till dec 31, 2018.

item purchased with voucher(s) use will NOT get more vouchers.



i bought a unit using 7xrm50 vouchers obtained from a fren's purchase of an AVR.

net price = 3699-350=3349.

price includes delivery and mounting on existing wall panel bracket.

of course, i reimbursed my fren 1/2 x rm350.


i bought this TV to replace a 2.5 yr old lc50ue630x which will be moved to another location.

yes, i am a big fan of sharp and androidtv!

u can't get the "lowest price"!

i paid rm4k for lc50ue630x 2.5 yrs ago... now a higher specs 60" is cheaper!!

now, i am excited to see if all my equipment will work like i think it will:

key words - "hdcp2.2, hdmi2.0a".

ua6800x has HDMI2.0a x 2, HDMI 2.0 x 2.

i playback quite a bit of 4kHDR stuff with android box and AVR, both hdmi 2.0a and hdcp 2.2.

next week...

should be in the e-manual... read and see what it says.

Should be hdmi 1,2 then.
I will try it next week n see the diff.

My current tv is 4k but not hdr.
Although box player, avr capable...
Even playing tv backlit, brightness, contrast, modes....still cant get good enough picture fo hdr10 videos.

this hdmi cable thingy is quite something.

some are selling >rm500 for hdmi 2.1 2m!!

all kinds of reviews... can't trust any of them.

i will just use my existing "4k" hdmi cables and see how good or bad they are.

Rm100 ok, not more!

Netflix of tv doesnt need hdmi, sure ok.

Hdmi concern only for 4k hdr input from separate player direct or via avr.


Yr netflix.... do u get 4k hdr videos?

4k or 2160p is easy, any 4k tv can get with netflix.

Was interested to know if u tried 4k hdr, see 4k hdr label displayed on tv when u play them.

I know they exist in netlfix, just wanted to be sure the tv is handling it well.

Check tv shows.. luke cage, jessica jones, man in the high castle... think these are netflix 4k hdr videos.

Someone asked this question a page or 2 back but no one could confirm.... i thought maybe u can...

generally, uhd = ultra high definition or 4k or 3840x2160 resolution.

there is 4k and there is 4k hdr (high dynamic range, for deeper colors and picture).

very simply, 4k is 8bit while 4k hdr is 10bit.


i m no longer using netflix but when i was using it, i could only see 4k - becos the tv was non-hdr.

now, i am quite sure netflix offer videos in 4k and some in 4k hdr.

if u can find the titles i mentioned like luke cage, u should see it labeled 4k hdr... try it and see it works well, any display confirmation on tv.

not sure what 15.26mbps means since netflix videos are not true 4k but "modified" for live transmission.

ok, so the label of that video is HDR.

now, when playing, what info u get when u press the "display" button of the tv remote... bottom right, i think...?

what is yr internet speed, btw? for tv, using ethernet of wifi?

i would say it means yes, the tv is playing netflix 4k HDR.

yes, got plenty of those.

they dun come out too well on predecessor model ue630x which is non HDR.

that's why i bought new ua6800x rated hdr.

will know the results tmrw.

some interesting info...

8k udr models can do DD+.
4k hdr androidtv can do dd and... eilex prism - what is that, any use?!
4k hdr smart tv can do dd only.

i would think that is for both tv audio and hdmi arc capability.

desa home theater was at av fair but ended yesterday.

deal should still be available in their kepong HQ.

lc60ua6800x was priced rm3699 with 5 yr warranty, 7 x rm50 cash vouchers for next purchase.

read 2 pages back, post #518.

i received my lc60ua6800x today... been playing with it for hours!

it's rather easy for me to set up everything and test all that i want to since i have used the predecessor lc50ue630x for 2.5 years now.

the tv is used together with himedia q10pro android box, denon avr, unifi tv stb and unifi 100mbps wifi.

below some of my initial findings and comments:-

.. 60" is significantly larger than 50"! well, that's how i felt on the first day.
my eyes are still getting used to it sitting at 10-12ft sway.
.. the remote is a 2-in-1 (with voice search) compared to the previous model which has 2 remotes.
i find the buttons too close to each other.... problem with mis-pressing with my fat fingers.
.. the UI is good, better than the last one, quicker in accessing controls, settings, etc.
.. the native usb player has improved in that it can now read ntfs, 2TB hdd; but... it can only do aac and dolby audio.
can't do dts or other higher - u just get video, no audio. this is not a problem for me as i dun use the tv for hdd playback.
.. use of airmouse or wireless mouse is fine, no problem.
.. sideloaded apps on androidtv (android 7.0) work fine - astrogo and a couple more for news, int'l live tv channels... for casual viewing.
(i do not want to put too many as i prefer to use my android box for others like kodi and acestream.)
.. youtube works good, plays 1080p, 4k with ease. (not using netflix... no comments.)
.. tv audio is surprisingly not bad... maybe due to this "eilex prism" feature.
.. optical arc is fine, all tv audio whether from tv usb player, androidtv apps or other player will work with arc - dolby digital works if applicable.
.. the wifi module is good, works on 5ghz just like its predecessor.

.. using my box for local playback, HDR works fine. if the file u play is HDR, "HDR" will be displayed when u press the display button on the remote.
.. i tried a variety of files and no surprise the 2160p hdr10 files come out the best followed by full 1080p ones.
.. HDR10 videos surely have deeper and brighter colors.
.. this tv is definitely brighter than its predecessor - even the default settings on the modes - std, movie, dynamic, etc. are quite bright.
unless u activate OPC which will get too dim.
.. i like standard mode most but may use an adjusted dynamic mode for some HDR videos.

overall, i m satisfied with it - it does what i expected it to do.

from desa home theater.. for rm3.5k, 5 year warranty, free delivery+installation, 1-for-1 exchange within 7 days if faulty.. i can't and won't ask for more!
