online or phy store? can share name?

Although there are home contents for 8K, commercial contents won't be coming anytime soon. Even 4k contents is so little. This morning i tried going in front of TV to check pixels when playing 4K videos, i can't see any jaggies or square pixels at all. Much less sitting 8 feet away. Even if it does cascade down to smaller TVs, IMO, it is pointless and just a marketing gimmick to sell TVs. You really don't need it coz you won't be able to see the difference anyway (unless you got bionic eyes, maybe can.. )

I agree with you that TV makers should not focus on Audio, but given the trends, they should at least make it easy for people to passthrough Dolby Atmos or whatever new sound encoding format to the AVR. Because built in Smart/Android TV will be a standard thing. In fact, i don't think you can find dumb TV anymore short of some no name China brand from TESCO.

So hopefully HDMI 2.1 and eARC will be holy grail of the next gen equipments, where true plug and play is possible....not having the user to troubleshoot 1000 possible problems!

More Reviews Updates:
1. This morning got shock by TV. When boot up, Netflix, Youtube, DTV all disappeared from the Home Screen. After a while, the items appears back, but the UI is changed a little bit. Can't move horizontally to the left most like previously. Pressing "OK", instead of activating the app, it pops up a menu "Open, Move....". So need to click Open again to activate the app. Restarted a few times, still the same. Thought i am screwed and need factory reset. Then i remember i played with the Orientation app last night and set to landscape. So i set it back to "Automatic" and everything's fine again....Wheew!

2. Btw, also installed BitDefender last night. Have to sideload this app. Works fine, it even adds an option in the Menu setting to enable/disable the Bitdefender.

3. Installed Popcorn Time, works great too!

4. Tested Nintendo Switch finally. Some people says it will looks bad on 4K TV. I have tested a few games. Looks OK to me, no need to do any settings.

One question on shutting down the TV. I press the power button to put TV off/standby and then turn off my main power. Is this ok? Because i would assume i need to proper shutdown the Android, but the screen doesn't shows anything, so i don't know if it has been proper shutdown before i turn off the power.

AL1X ,
i get it from Fair in Klang Valley.

Supplier - Sincere Zone Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd - Ampang

Get from Fair.

Sincere Zone Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd - Ampang / Mahkota Cheras

nice, fair price always best at the time.

4k, 8k... maybe 6k then!

no, tv makers will not do much for audio pass thru... becos HD audio will need licensing which they are not ready to pay, will jack up the costs.

which is the main reason why this tv can only do DD (25 years old) and why most box players can't do HD audio.

there are premium price tv's that can do dd+, dts (digital); very rare u find any capable of HD audio.

using remote switch off keeps the TV on standby. standby mode allows the tv to auto update security patches, playstore apps.

it does not need to reboot the android everytime u switch on.

You meant 16k? lol. I didn't realized passthrough also needs to pay license? Just passing to someone else to decode wor...

Even my S8+ i only use FHD+ (2200 x 1080), eventhough it can do 2K resolution....can't tell the difference anyway!

But my TV needs to be turned off when nobody is at home. Basically, i just powered down the main switch which connects to everything including modem and router.

There is also a "Quick Start" option. The description says turning it ON use a little more power. What does it do actually?

i had been hunting for a new android box.
i have always had boxes that can do HD audio, need it.
there are only a handful of them that can do it, and they are priced much higher.
all cheap boxes cannot do it.

errr... u r one who cuts power to all of that?
moden, router even more impt to keep them on... for no change in IP, stability.
i do not know if cutting off power everytime is actually bad for equipment.
me, i keep the all on standby except for long periods of unuse.

I cannot. Must turn off everything. Wife will complain if i don't.

The only thing allowed in the house to remain power on is the Fridge and the power to heat the piano( to keep moisture away), which is a low power heater of sort inside the piano....

Agree. We don't have commercial 8K source. Unless you buy own 8K video cam and play the recorded video in TV.
Anyhow I am eager to see more 8K TVs in shelf because it will makes 4K TV more cheaper with high spec

i don't think price can go down any lower...they will just phase it out. Now RM500 for 32" FHD. Next time RM500 for 32" 4K. Then maybe 55" onwards all 8k and jual mahal again. And the cycle continues.

Hi, I just bought a sharp LC-50UA6800X
2 days ago. After install some apps, my tv got issue where it auto turn on and off. It take about 10 sec only after on to off.. And it on again.. Is anyone facing same issue? I did tried to hard reset but not sure what is the correct way. Please help me...

Congrats and welcome to the brotherhood!

Bought almost same time as me, i guess.

1. Auto turn on/off - have you connected to any device like PS4, AVRs etc? Because if HDMI-CEC is enabled those devices might cause it. Example turning on the PS4 will automatically turn on the TV as well. It can also be caused by WOL (Wake on Lan) if that is turned on. A live LAN might triggers it to turns on. After you have check and change the settings, tru restarting it just to be sure. The restart function is in the "About" menu i think.

2. There is a factory reset somewhere, try the above before doing this.

possibly, there is one incompatible app u installed.

if so, the android will auto shutdown and restart... it goes off, then on again, u see SHARP logo, etc.

if it happens again, try to isolate the apps u installed, see which one is giving trouble, remove it.

hmm...seems logic

Check out Jintex Electronics in Sea Park. They have a website, but easier to call and ask.

Found a new feature. The TV can do Splitscreen app! A bit like Windows 10, but not as flexible i think. The screen will get squashed to the side instead of maintaining aspect ratio. Not sure if it can do 4 screen like Windows 10
I think it will be very useful if can split 4 screen for those with 60 inches and above TV. Beside splitting the screen with apps, you can actually split it with your input source, ex, PS4. So you have Chrome one side and PS4 the other side. But problem is aspect ratio not maintained, maybe there is a setting somewhere?

Beside this, you can press ALT TAB on your keyboard to switch apps. You can also select to close the indovidual app when use in combination with the mouse.

Simple question. Can I connect my 4k sources (game, tv box) to any of the hdmi inputs for 4K display?

Yes

hdmi 1, 2 is hdmi 2.0a, 4k hdr, chroma 444; hdmi 3 ,4 are hdmi 2.0 4k sdr chroma 420.

1,2, set to FULL.

that's for ua6800x, shud be same for al1x - do check the e-manual for confirmation.
