Found a bargain:
RM2,193 - SHARP 50 Inch 4K HDR ANDROID LED TV LC50UA6800X

http://www.goshop.com.my/prd/20059496.html

50in now so cheap....

Other brands non androidtv even lower... <rm2k.

Despite weak rm... must be a tv war out there... at least for lower grade ones.

ESH RM2499 2+3 years warranty.
Bought yesterday but I’d prefer LG as my mum uses astro go and LG is easier for her.

Which esh's branch?

Empire subang jaya 😺

Ok, thanks

You’re most welcome 😺

Not sure. You can PM them on FB.
I communicated with ESH via fb before going to empire.

👀

any software update/fix for 8.0? to fix the file reading via usb.

I saw that the 6800x model has Dolby Digital audio decoder. Have you guys tweaked for it to specifically work with your soundbars/sound system that has Dolby capabilities? Does it work for Netflix?

no update since aug... no change.
the tv does not bluetooth to soundbar or avr.

but it works fine if u connect via optical.

yes, dolby. and dolby only, not dts.

netflix in dolby 5.1, yes.

Thanks for the answer. Would it also work via the hdmi arc? Hmmm but the soundbar I'm eyeing isnt 5.1 would it still work?

ARC matters, can't comment... as i never use it.

hope someone else can.

Hi, I've got a soundbar recently (Sony HT-R40) but when I try to connect through the HDMI ARC port, I manage to get it with sound intermittently. Can I know what is the proper settings on the TV? My connection now is Sony HDMI ARC -> Sharp HDMI ARC port 2, HyppTv connect HDMI port 1. But not everytime can have sound. Any idea?

The problem is most likely that Hypptv box.. Some other Android boxes do this as well.. Try this, disconnect the Hypptv box from the TV.. Power off everything else and switch back on.. Except the Hypptv box..you should get sound every time.. Afterwhich, you can switch on the Hypptv.. Sometimes, it works the other way around too. If left connected and in standby, you must switch on Hypptv first, then tv and soundbar or TV, then Hypptv, then soundbar.. Experiment with the different procedures and you'll find the one that works 100% each time.

Your connection is correct. Sony soundbar must be connected to the HDMI-ARC port on the TV, for the HDMI-ARC feature and HDMI-CEC (if supported) to work. The latter might might work regardless of which port.

can't advise about arc as i dun use.

if all else fail, just get and optical cable to connect tv->soundbar.

should work fine.

Thanks. Yea. It's the HyppTv. So if I want to turn on the soundbar, I'll need to power down the HyppTv first and then it'll work. Wasted my money to buy the optical cable. Can ARC support 5.1?

Ah, as suspected.. It's all good..

Yeah, 5.1 audio should be no issue.. Provided your soundbar is capable.. Mine's a HT and it works up to the HT's max DTS HD-MA capabilities.
