can't respond to u in a useful manner becos...

1. u did not specify "advantage" - price? features? use (gaming, astro, media files, bluray discs)?

2. it is unlikely a normal tv buyer has spent enough time trying games, astro, DVD, BD, 4k HDR, online streams on several models before buying.
no shop will allow that!


but one thing i can say those - 2 models do not have google's androidtv.

if u dun want/need androidtv, that is of no use to u whereas it is a great feature for others - so, there u go...

i just saw on the e-manual...

50"... outer width 1125mm, stand legs span 1000mm.

very good question.
i dun use it but i am curious...
is this tv's bluetooth good only for remotes, keyboards and game pads?
is this tv's bluetooth for devices to send video/audio to it rather the other way round?
seems to me u can't send TV audio to headphones, AVR...?
whereas u can with phone, tablet.

android 7.0, no sign of upgrade to 8... actually i will not want it... becos i find 7 to be very stable, few problems.

i use this tv's androidtv... and 2 other android boxes attached to it.
the tv's androidtv is smooth, no problem.
i like it, use it for just a couple of apps... for live int'l news, iptv.
becos that way, i need not turn on my other boxes, AVR... save on TNB bill.
but i do not install big or complex apps on it, even if if know they will work, e.g.KODI.
those, i prefer to do with my other boxes.

no, i hv no idea.

some people talk charts and tell u 60" is best viewed at 6ft!

perhaps the assumption is u will be watching 4k HDR 100% of the time.

i had a 50" before, took me a month to get used to this 60" at 11ft.

so, i dun think u made a wrong choice in terms of size.

congrats.

hope the stand fits nicely!

just use the current version u find with a pc at playstore.
(it is NOT in tv playstore).

if first time, take note u need id, pw to log in... u call unifi to get them.

lastly, this app works only in wifi mode.

will need pro help and tools if serious...

overall, i find the default settings quite alright.

besides the basics... contrast, sharpness, etc... i did play around with resolution and color temp.

like it better with res detail up 1-2 ticks, color temp more towards bluish-white rather than reddish white.

i primarily use STANDARD.
just the default settings but with contrast reduced to 28.
under advanced, res detail incr by 2, color temp at mid-high.
no other change.

Can try above adj with movie settings default... except color temp set to mid, turn opc on... this give a warmer picture.

Basically trial n error!


note OPC is on for normal videos, will auto turn off when it detects 4k HDR - hence u get the deeper and brighter colors.

android has gone from 4 kitkat to 8 oreo in less than 8 years.
so, average, a new one every 2 years.
6800x comes with android 7, will probably see just one change to android 8, no more.
i have not known an android device that can take 2 or more changes - tech moves very fast.

besides androidtv, there are other diff:
.. 6800x has 4 hdmi input; 6500x has only 2.
.. 6800x has digital output (optical); 6500x has none.
.. 6800x has netflix 4k, youtube voice search; 6500x no netflix, no voice search.

price diff rm300-500... u decide!

netflix is legit 1080p/4k quality, u pay.

iflix is local, SD, not so good.

popcorn...lower quality stuff... sure, if u r used to that.
u can also find videos with quality higher than netflix elsewhere.
the TV can take 2160p/4k HDR videos.
but using separately player, not tv usb player.
note the tv player can only do aac and dolby audio... dts files will hv no audio - 6800x or 6500x, same.

if u hv no use for netflix 4k, androidtv, dun need optical output, need just 1-2 hdmi input... can save some money with 6500x.

full hd tv's are getting cheap, lots of them everywhere... incl tesco, giant.

your box... what capabilities?

if u r not into 4k, hdr, any 1080p tv is fine.

but the thing is for 60", it's kinda big... ok for 1080p/1080i... 720p starts to be poor... terrible for your eyes if SD video quality, i.e. 240p, 360p, 480p.

that is to say, if u stick to low quality videos, better not go bigger than 42".

did u do these that are required to make it work?

1. install indic keyboard from playstore, set to default.
2. sideload orientation app, activate it to landscape.
3. sideload a browser.. chrome or brave or whatever.

for more details and instructions, read bottom of post #2.

came across these articles... might be useful reading for some of you.

that is something to chew on..

i find 60" already a tad too big for 8-9ft!

if u read subtitles, too close to tv makes it very uncomfortable for eyes to scan subs at bottom, then whole picture...

also, not everything we watch is in 4K, need a longer distance for "multipurpose"!

for u and others sideloading apps...

icdrama is a popular source for asian tv dramas/movies - china, hongkong, taiwan, korea, japan... some come with eng subs or canto audio too.

if u know icdrama, below is an apk very suitable for the TV - tv remote is good enough for navigation, no need mouse.

(previous versions may not work very well.)

i have tested it, works good.

the playstore in the tv is very limited - becos this is androidtv, not generic android.

u gotta get other apps from pc, sideload them onto the tv with X-plore app.

i hope u know all the steps...

this offer is RM11 better than the Desa offer at AV fair 2 months ago.


potential tv buyers... news is that TV's will be slapped 10% SST wef Sep 1:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3843549/+760#bottom

that icdrama works well. in fact, it will appear on the tv UI as if it is an approved androidtv app!

phone->mouse/kb... i hv not ventured into that.
will be good to know which app can do that with the tv... anyone?
