In terms of sound bar setup what's your experience with this. Does it decode dolby atmos as well?

Nope. There is no Dolby Atmos here. You can always buy an Android box with the functions that you want, then passthrought the Dolby Atmos from your box->Soundbar->TV

Actually, not much difference in the brightness. You can check it out in showrooms. I would prefer the UA6800X for 2 reasons:
1. Cheaper by RM 200- RM300.
2. Slimmer. (Yes, thks to edge lightning, it is only thick at the bottom half of the TV. The AL1X model is thick from top to bottom because of direct lightning. You can compare the images at Sharp's Malaysia website.)

And yes, by 30th April. Buy now or forever hold your peace!

that wud happen if u set to tab.
set to desktop, keep chrome in the background.
any app u call up will be mirrored.

this tv can do dolby digital only.
applies to whatever audio that goes thru it.

Seems new software....30800_20181205 => 31000_20190326.

Aiks. Got update ah? Later check tonight.

decided on which box yet?

atmos capability is not commonly found in boxes.
.. most cheap priced ones will do 5.1 only.
.. the mid ones can do dd/dd+/dts 5.1.
.. only a handful higher priced ones can do dtshdma, ddtruehd, atmos, dtsx... smoothly.
.. the price of one at the top can be 10 times that of one of the bottom.

yep, took just 15 mins in total.

Eh. I was not looking for Android box lah. haha.

my bad.. tot u were...

I have more serious problem of Centre Speaker now. Still haven't decided if wanna buy soundbar or buy shelf from ikea and drill holes and stick Centre speaker to wall. Still thinking YAS-108...many good reviews, can cucuk my existing subwoofer and looks sexy!. But if i can't sell my current setup, i will be stuck with even more speakers in my living room....

If i get the YAS-108 soundbar, i will use the YAS-108 soundbar for movies from the TV (Netflix mainly), while maintaining the HT system for music and video games. But this is not ideal at all.....ultimately my target is 1 soundbar + 1 woofer. No more freaking speakers....(i also have 2 subwoofers and 1 guitar amp in the living room...not counting other small satellites for PC and other stuff..).

i can feel yr headaches.

it is impossible to optimize when u have many pieces of old and new equipment, house not time for renovation, etc...

if u go soundbar route, i wud say u gotta bite the bullet somehow, get rid of some old stuff - sell cheap, give away, junk...

i personally do not use soundbars, never liked them.

had always used full 5.1 set ups, makes it a lot more enjoyable whether watching movie with hd audio or just 2.0 music.

I have actually throw away the surround speaker stand (huge wooden heavy stand...) and speakers not too long ago.

Anybody notice any difference updating software......30800 => 31000....?

Updated last night.

Absolutely no difference me thinks.

Lol.

the update is a minor one, likely just a new security patch, still android 8.0.0.

so, to users, nothing really changed.

I was hoping got new features...like delaying the video so that i can sync with the audio...

Anyway, the auto restart i have been experiencing haven't occur recently. I think it might have to do with my KeepSolid VPN. I have not activate it for 5 days or so.

This weekend maybe turn it on again and monitor.

But direct lighting gives little bit more brightness compare edge lighting. Other than this all pros goes to edge lit.
Correct me if my understanding is wrong

Like i said earliar. Compare it in the showroom of the two models. Set to max bright if you need to.

Theory is useless. Must see the actual performance.

I think Harvey Norman Ikano got UA6800AX. Maybe got the ALIX also, but i can't be sure.

No new features unless upgraded to android 9.

No chance, i say.

Properly done Back-lit trumps proper Edge-lit any day any time.. Makes for better PQ..Especially localized dimming. This is just plain fact and backed by multiple tests. Whether on a personal level, one enjoys it? That's butt feel and inconclusive.
