IS LC50UA6800X model is now replaced by newer model? According to sales person whom i met in store said this new model is 4TC50AL1X?

this 4TC50AL1X appears to be a direct lit rather than edge lit.

did u check the price?

That shop offer me RM 2400 with 2 years warranty.

Interms of specification which one is better?

i spent a bit more time playing around with the android8 update.

i conclude there is definitely a problem with the detection of NTFS drives with androidtv's android8.
the same kind of problem has been reported in Mibox and Nvidia shield which also use androidtv months ago but have largely been resolved, i believe.
there's a youtube video where a mibox user says removal of es file explorer does the job - maybe for mibox, but not for this tv.

there is no reliable way to playback using the TV except the tv native player (which can't do dts).
i had tried... several file managers - es file explorer, es file exp pro, X-plore.
tried several player apps - vlc, mx, mx pro, kodi, Xplayer.

none of them did a proper job... es file exp + vlc or kodi or xplayer can play somewhat but inconsistent.
so, we wait... i wud think another update shud be coming soon.

minor stuff but FYI, with android8 update:

.. if u can't bring up the virtual keyboard when using playstore, install google indic keyboard, set it as default.
.. latest unifi playtv 7.8.19 tablet version works fine, all smooth.
.. latest astrogo 8.2.4 works smoother with this update than last one.

Any update on this? The work around of using ES file explorer to launch the videos work for me... But the uI of the file explorer is super awful

Sorry to hijack the thread. Anybody check  out the 70inch model ?

i dun remember anyone discussing sharp 70" here.

and there is only one model - LC70XU830X.

Don’t think this model is available in msia

Finally, sharp changed the board for me, to revert back to Android 7.

after report to sharp and they came to investigate, and few weeks waiting, sharp technician came and change the board for me yesterday. 

so happy kodi and vlc can read my hardisk now...

this means the android8.0 update is the culprit, no quick fix yet.

for those who need the players for local playback, changing the board to revert to android7 is the only way.

potential problem is after a while, netflix may not work, asking u to update to android8!

hopefully by then, all will be fixed with a new update.

Do u mind to share Sharp hotline? Thank you.

Yes, lesson learnt. will not simply update next time.

it's ok for me as i don't use netflix.
i can't remember , you may check the warranty card or sharp website ya.

Hi everyone, I come from Vietnam, I use google translate, sorry for my bad English

I found a error when watch football, the ball is lost when moving fast if I set AV mode Standard.
Tool > Picture > AV Mode
When I set Dynamic, the ball appears but it is blinking continuously
You can test following step, press Voice input and speaking "4K video football", choice clip "Lionel Messi vs Celtic (Neutral) 16-17 UHD 4K - English Commentary"

Hi, gud 2 hv u!

I played that utube video... was ok... movie mode.

Its true when the ball is fast moving, it fades a bit in visibility but looks normal to me.

Still very visible, not vanished.

Just an effect matter of camera angle, lighting and contrast at the time.

Check a few more, see if u get same.

thanks, are you can test again with AV Mode Standard ?
two of my friends buy tivi same time and tested it same error
I looked directly on tivi, the ball clearly disappeared
