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.

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

it's ok for me as i don't use netflix.

right... u gotta use it the way u want it.


i use netflix and do not need tv's VLC/kodi player.

just FYI, i find android8 better for sideloaded apps... easier to install, navigate.

i use it mainly for live tv apps... a few apps, the tv gives all the good HD stuff.

Hi everyone, I come from Vietnam, I use google translate, sorry for my bad English
I buy new tv Sharp LC50UA6800X, I upgraded firmware to android 8.0
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.

i think i know what u mean.

the effect is a bit more acute with std mode becos the contrast and color is lower and temp is bluer.

try increasing the contrast and change temp if required.

normal viewing, i prefer movie mode which gives a more reddish temp.

for 4khdr, i will use dynamic but with some adjustments.

comparing what... price, features, opsys, PQ, audio, networking, smart tv, durability, service..??

if u want a useful comparison, u need to hear from someone who has used all 3 tv's for some days or weeks..

and that's hard to find... becos 99% people look see for 10-30min only... then buy ONE, that's all!

durability... a personal experience... there are no stats for it... so many brands, so many models.

my own exp from past... i expect sharp tvs to last >7 years w/o warranty issue.

PQ - a lot will depend on your source, your player.

a mid-range price tv, i will say it is average, better than some, not as good as others.

for 6800x users....

the tv's ethernet port is not gigabit, so it's capped at 100mbps.

if u hv higher broadband speed, use wifi.

wifi module can easily get u >200mbps.

then again, what tv apps need that speed..?! biggrin.gif

How la people go around looking for best price for you.. You search for yourself first and later ask if any better deal or not.. Then someone who's seen better (if any) can say got.. Else you buy at the best price you saw and share.

When I look at the official spec , this model support mirroring but the Miracast column was left untick. Does it support Miracast then , i thought mirroring and Miracast are the same ?

Any replacement model for this tv yet? I read from previous comment that a newer model has launched and is direct led backlight. What is the different then between edge and direct backlight.

i dun think the tv has miracast... but has chromecast - i hope u know the diff.

can't say replacement but website shows new model AL1X series, max 50".
specs says direct lit, which is said to be better but u won't know until u see it for yrself.
google to read the diff in tech... haven't read anyone owning this model yet.

Hello from Thailand
