i can explore if I need to, wasn't aware anything interesting since I gave up kodi, now just youtube, vimeo and netflix.. any interesting app you're using now?

i don't use the androidtv that much as i have a separate box.

but hv astrogo, rss icdrama (both details posted this page) and cloudtv.

good for fast access to news, casual shows.

HI to all Sharp sifus here.
I am newbie. Just planning to get myself a LC60UA6800X before SST kicks in.

The offer now on Lazada is RM3347 without any free gifts or extended warranty.
Lazada Sharp LC60UA6800X
This model from Sharp carries a 2 years warranty by default? On the Lazada page, it says 1 year warranty. I tried to contact seller but seller never answer.

Any sifus here can advice? Is this TV worth buying? I am not a hardcore UHD 4K fans but i want a big screen TV...

Thank you.

afaik, all sharp tv's normally carry 2 year warranty; extended warranty, u buy from seller.
some promotion cases, 5 years given - several people got that, incl me. smile.gif

is this tv worth it?
for 60" rm3.5k, surely - for budget conscious, common home use, mid level, very acceptable results, with androidtv.
this is not a rm8k, 10k, 12k xled/yled/zled tv where i wud expect the sky; if not, better buy 2 or 3 tv's for price of 1.
the only thing i will tell u that is no good - the TV usb player - this is only good for simple videos in aac or dolby audio; all others will give no audio.
buy and use yr own player box, the tv can deliver great picture.

im thinking to use my low budget pc to power up this TV for external video input (buy a new gpu that support 4k output RM600)  hmm.gif
*
why spend more money on an old device?

there are plenty of media/android boxes in that price range that can handle 4k, hdr, 10bit... a must if u want dtshdma/ddtruehd/ddatmos/dtsx audio.

the better boxes will give a slight better picture quality that the TV androidtv for the same app.

but the androidtv is not wasted - i use it all the time - for a few simple apps.

and of course, youtube which is fabulous with voice search.

Dear sifus,

have a look at this...
Dolby ATOMS Android Box

Any advice?
*
before u ask if this box or that box is good or bad, u gotta read a bit and define your requirements, budget.

like buying a car or a house or a tv, there is no "best" box, only a box that fits your requirements at acceptable price.

there are a hundred brands each with a few models, take yoru time, read...

read android box, first 2 pages at least:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3115619

read egreat A10:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4297258


looks like after buy big new TV, everyone's buying new media box! biggrin.gif

but please, dun forget, 6800x has androidtv, can do some apps very very nicely - use it!!

I believe some of us buy this tv becos the quality of it, the androidTV is just a good bonus. Haha
*
after using 5 sharp tv's in the last 10 years, i will say for ua6800x and ue630x:

.. great durability - chances are it will last you 5-7 years before bleeding or color washout.
.. picture quality is good enough, but dun get upset if some self declared gurus tell u it is crap compared to rm12k same size tv.
.. good wifi, can do 5ghz.
.. 4 hdmi, 2 usb... dun think u need more.
.. androidtv - yes, big bonus.
.. very decent price, u need not break an arm or a leg to get some good features.
.. tv player - poor, sharp never make this a priority, just give u a simple player (i agree, tv makers shud not compete with box player makers!)

I am very new in this big screen area... just like i only think car can bring me to any places i want to but other than transporting me, i never really knows what else can i do with it...  ohmy.gif

if this is really the way u feel, i'm afraid u maybe making a wrong choice by going for any tv bigger than 50".

for 60" or higher, u gotta be mostly watching some good stuff - HD, 4k, etc.

i.e. playback own videos, min 1080p, bluray 4k, netlfix 4k, etc.

if u use it for RTM, TV3, DVD... even astro, unifi tv... u may find the picture "poor" due to TV size.

size does matter!

how about mi box? found in lzd around 2xx

my main purpose is to load higher quality videos (various format) smoothly
*
mibox is running on androidtv, just like the tv.
not the best combination to have same.

better u get a box that runs on generic android.
higher quality videos - how high, size of movie file?
for a 2hr movie, if size <10gb, little diff from box to box.
diff is when u play 40-90gb files.

Yes yes, playing a UHD format file 40-90 gb

for these, u gotta get something good.
mibox will not cut it.
more so if u want full BD menu.
for that, himedia, egreat and zidoo have models that can do.
this new box probably give great video but may not have bd menu:

late or not, u gotta talk to them n clarify.

make sure when the unit arrives, u be there and inspect the box, see if it has been opened or not.

it is always possible a seller is trying to sell off a used or returned unit to unsuspecting customer.

Thanks for sharing. Just pulled the trigger. Delivery waiting list is 1 week lol, like buying car. Now need to learn from all sifus here on what are the must install apps on this TV.
*
this tv has androidtv - the apps in playstore are limited.

if u know android/androidbox well, u can sideload other apps.

i have posted a few tips at the last part of post #2.

The remote control voice control / search button is no longer working - the button when press, it will activate the voice search. I do not know exactly when it has stopped working but i can't get it working even after cold start (power unplug and plug). Anyone faces this prb?

BTW, I am using the latest firmware.
*
you mean voice search button on remote for youtube?

try checking youtube settings... maybe something not set right there.

can also uninstall youtube, reinstall, see how.


is the remote working good for everything else?

Does this TV support ATMOS?

for audio, this tv supports only Dolby Digital and AAC, nothing else.

the tv player is a poor one.

morning guys.
got a question here,why everytime i connect the hdmi cabbe to either 1 of the hdmi input,the audio from the headphone jack will be cut off. the optical output still produce sound. only the hedphone jack will be cut off.unplug the hdmi,the sound will reappear.
by the way,i connecting my home theater hdmi(OUTPUT ONLY.NOT ARC) to the tv while the tv headphone jack and optical is connected to the home theater.
*
I remember reading something about this in the e-manual, check ìt.
Something about only hdmi3 and a certain setting can do this to get both hdmi and headphone jack working at same time.

where you get Chrome APK? I download from APKMirror but failed to install as it claimed the file may corrupted.

I have v67.0.3396.87 on it, got from pc.

For astrogo installation, other browsers will work too, e.g. brave.
