from riyadh.... welcome!

Many Thanks.

Ok, so here is the update.

While waiting for the Sharp tech to come to my home I registered my complaint using Sharp world support page.

After two days, still waiting for the Sharp tech guy, I received an email from Sharp MEA.
In the email explained the procedure on how to update the TV using USB and the Google Drive link to the latest firmware update "THEA_UA6800X_30700". 
In the email, it says that "THEA_UA6800X_30700" package is the latest one. (Can you guys confirm that)
But, my TV is asking for "30800_20181205"
Anywayz I have emailed them the snapshot which shows the current and latest version info.

Still waiting for the Sharp tech guyz ....
After two more days of wait, they finally came.
The standard check is done by them and the conclusion is that they will contact the IT guy from another city who will send them the file and Bla Bla Bla ... will take 3 to 6 dayz    .

Before I manually update to "THEA_UA6800X_30700" package, can someone confirm from their TV that this "THEA_UA6800X_30700" IS the latest update package?

Attached is the pic from my TV.

i think u should wait for yr local sharp tech for confirmation.

30700 (android7) is probably what u already have now, u can go to settings/about and check.

30800 (android8) is what u need; yes, the latest kernel version is 30800_20181205... android8 dated 2018 dec 5.

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!

To put it simply, HDR is definitely 4K, while 4K is not necessarily HDR.

Wait, did I confuse you?

Saw the 60 inch 6800x priced at rm3k with  2 year warranty. Tempted but then read that there is a replacement 4TC60AL1X for 2019 but cannot find the price. Anyone know the price? Specs mostly the same. still edge lit. Thanks.

size and price aside, u can compare the other features if they r impt to u.

A (sharp) has 4 hdmi inputs, B (sony) has 3.
A is androidtv with voice search, B is not.
A wifi is 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, B is 802.11b/g/n
A has built in chromecast, B has miracast.
A has bluetooth (receive only), B none.
A is only dolby digital, B is dolby plus, DTS.

i won't comment on picture quality as i have not used B.

Sharp ua6800x vs sony x7500f, which one better?

Saw a 4TC50AL1X  on display yesterday. Was quoted after discount price rm2299. This might be a more sensible choice for me rather than 60 inch since my source is mainly Chromecast youtube from my phone with 12 ft Max viewing distance.

Does it come with android tv?

now can get this at rm1999, worthy more than 50ua6800??

now can get this at rm1999, worthy more than 50ua6800??

Mind sharing shop location? Worthy as its newer than 50ua6800

Mind sharing shop location? Worthy as its newer than 50ua6800

i haven't viewed this new al1x.

bot from the specs given in the website, only these differences which i posted before:

form the specs comparison, they are almost identical except frr al1x has rs232c connection and weighs less.
and i think there are 2 hdmi at the side, 2 at the back whereas ua6800x has all 4 at the back.
and based on ue630x android5->6; ua6800x android7->8, it is possible al1x coming with android8 may get upgraded to android9 if it gets widely accepted.

i already have the 2 older models, won't be getting al1x.

i trust it is just as good if not better - in terms of picture quality and the androidtv.
