u can't get the "lowest price"!

i paid rm4k for lc50ue630x 2.5 yrs ago... now a higher specs 60" is cheaper!!

now, i am excited to see if all my equipment will work like i think it will:

key words - "hdcp2.2, hdmi2.0a".

ua6800x has HDMI2.0a x 2, HDMI 2.0 x 2.

i playback quite a bit of 4kHDR stuff with android box and AVR, both hdmi 2.0a and hdcp 2.2.

Waiting for ur full review of 6800x

4k or 2160p is easy, any 4k tv can get with netflix.

Was interested to know if u tried 4k hdr, see 4k hdr label displayed on tv when u play them.

I know they exist in netlfix, just wanted to be sure the tv is handling it well.

Check tv shows.. luke cage, jessica jones, man in the high castle... think these are netflix 4k hdr videos.

Someone asked this question a page or 2 back but no one could confirm.... i thought maybe u can...
*
Really no idea about this hdr, netflix max streaming speed I can get is 15.26mbps, but dunno izit playing hdr quality . I found in netflix got HDR , and 4k UHD izit the same. The tv can handle hdr10 but dunno how to check.

there is 4k and there is 4k hdr.

very simply, 4k is 8bit while 4k hdr is 10bit.

i m no longer using netflix but when i was using it, i could only see 4k - becos the tv was non-hdr.

now, i am quite sure netflix offer videos in 4k and some in 4k hdr.

if u can find the titles i mentioned like luke cage, u should see it labeled 4k hdr... try it and see it works well, any display confirmation on tv.
*
Yes, the luke cage is hdr, but the streaming speed also 15.26mbps / 2160p

not sure what 15.26mbps means since netflix videos are not true 4k but "modified" for live transmission.

ok, so the label of that video is HDR.

now, when playing, what info u get when u press the "display" button of the tv remote... bottom right, i think...?

what is yr internet speed, btw? for tv, using ethernet of wifi?
*
Internet 50 mbps , using Ethernet for stable internet , the netflix label "HDR" , streaming speed 15++ mbps / 2160.

I'm looking for new TV (Sharp 60" or Samsung 65" NU7100).
Which one better.
Btw, the Sharp 60ua 6800x & 6500x(2x HDMI, 1x USB) different are Android & smart TV.
Currently 6500x is RM2999 with 5 yrs warranty, does it worth it?

*I'm often t use my HDD to watch movie.

some interesting info...

8k udr models can do DD+.
4k hdr androidtv can do dd and... eilex prism - what is that, any use?! biggrin.gif
4k hdr smart tv can do dd only.

i would think that is for both tv audio and hdmi arc capability.

this info i get it on sharp website , i also no understand what is the different ? tongue.gif , ur 6800 arrived u can test it. rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

Install a web browser and download the astro go apk and install it. u need to install set orientation to lock rotation. U can download the sideload launcher from play store easy for u to open all sideload app, and u need to install Indic keyboard as well

i received my lc60ua6800x today... been playing with it for hours! biggrin.gif

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. tongue.gif
.. 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 apps or unifi tv or other player will work with arc - aac2.0 only.
.. 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! rclxms.gif

Wow!! Thanks for sharing ur reviews , I like the standard mode for this tv as well.

Does the “HDR” in the display apply to Netflix/YouTube content as well? Because I tried playing HDR content from those 2 and don’t see any “HDR” when I press the display button. Maybe my internet connection is too slow. 😜

YouTube and netflix didn't show the "HDR" too bad sad.gif

a few more comments i can make on the tv:

.. this tv has only 2 (two) usb ports... previous model has 3.
use one for mouse, there is just one left for other things - sideload, playback...
*
Can use Bluetooth keyboard mouse
