durability... a personal experience... there are no stats for it... so many brands, so many models.

my own exp from past... i expect sharp tvs to last >7 years w/o warranty issue.

PQ - a lot will depend on your source, your player.

a mid-range price tv, i will say it is average, better than some, not as good as others.

for 6800x users....

the tv's ethernet port is not gigabit, so it's capped at 100mbps.

if u hv higher broadband speed, use wifi.

wifi module can easily get u >200mbps.

then again, what tv apps need that speed..?! biggrin.gif

When I look at the official spec , this model support mirroring but the Miracast column was left untick. Does it support Miracast then , i thought mirroring and Miracast are the same ?

Any replacement model for this tv yet? I read from previous  comment that a newer model has launched and is direct led backlight. What is the different then between edge and direct backlight.
*
i dun think the tv has miracast... but has chromecast - i hope u know the diff.

can't say replacement but website shows new model AL1X series, max 50".
specs says direct lit, which is said to be better but u won't know until u see it for yrself.
google to read the diff in tech... haven't read anyone owning this model yet.

Hello from Thailand

Just bought the 50ua6800x coming in next week

got it from 2kRM I think? (18000~THB)

I don't know about TV, but my budget was ~3k RM and I guess this is fine?
*
sawadikap!

18000 Baht is rm2300.

that is a good price for 2 yr warranty.

I see, can't wait for the TV tho! This is my big upgrade from a crappy lcd not even hd tv tongue.gif

I honestly almost went to sony, but it's pretty pricey like 3.5k RM for the same 4k hdr 50 inch.

enjoy the tv!

if u haven't, read post #2... i wrote a no. of things about the androidtv, maybe u'll find something useful.

Hi Guys, just purchase 1 during 11.11

My wife wanted to watch astro and i dun 1 to pull another wire into my room.... I guess this TV will solve my problem.

So... basically i just follow this to get Astro Go to works right? Any others thing i should take note so i dun break my new tv?

Updated 9 Oct 2018 android8.0
ASTROGO - Android 8.0:
after update to android 8.0 (sep 2018), astrogo installation:
if u want to install/reinstall astrogo, it is easier on this android 8.
.. get astrogo v8.2.4 (official version is fine), put in USB->tv usb.
.. must have orientation app installed, set to landscape. this one will work:
https://apkpure.com/set-orientation/com.goo....setorientation
.. (previous "rotation app" which worked on android5, 6, 7 does NOT work here.)
.. if u did not accept proposed Puffin TV app during android8 update, please install it from playstore - required as installer package for astrogo.
.. (chrome or es file explorer NOT required and not preferred, and if u use either, u have to grant permission as installer.)
.. install from playstore X-plore as file manger to install; once u click install, it takes u to PuffinTV - click on the box "astrogo login"; the rest is straightforward.
.. a mouse is required to navigate; remote will not do.
*
Those are my instructions as posted in post #2.

It will work.

But if u hv no exp with androids, u might face difficulty.

Go ahead, come back here if u fail. smile.gif

the ua6800x bluetooth is "one-way" - u can pass audio from phone or tablet to TV.

but cannot send bluetooth audio from TV to avr or soundbar.

not sure if this is also the case for al1x.

this is due to CEC, happens to some devices, not all.

i briefly mentioned this ZALTV app in post #2 last part:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...yer.zaltv&hl=en

found in tv's playstore, so it is easy to install.

to use this app, u either create your own playlist or use others' by keying in a code.

with a good playlist, u access all kinds of live tv, in hd... and very easy to use... one of the best apps i hv used.

sorry, can't share the code(s) here as a user ethic becos it's meant only for private consumption while some people try to sell it.

can join this FB group to find the current code(s).

hello all, i tried to look for it but its very difficult.

Anyone knows how to install Set Orientation on LC-UE630X with Android ver 6.0.1?
I know abt the apk files downloading and running install but the apks i have downloaded cannot be installed because the install word is dimmed. Anyone can help pls? I can run Astro on the Go but it is like 90deg tilted and i cannot scroll to see other channels. Much appreciated.
*
the full steps are not available anywhere else but i have written them here some weeks ago.

so, good that u asked.

read post #2 of this thread, last part, the section: ASTROGO/Sideload Apps - Android 7.0:

i have just updated it with a minor amendment.

u will find the answers there.

there are only minor differences between androidtv6 of ue630x and androidtv8 of ua6800x.

if u need more help, can post in ue630x thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3811168/+1580
i actually made a post there recently about the set orientation app.

but since the tv is not so new, hardly anyone goes there now, i suppose.

android 7 or 8, u can use the tv's native content player.
trouble is this player can do only aac and dolby... the rest, no audio.

vlc, mx, kodi cud read/play files in android7 but not in 8.
afaik, there has been no update since august.

I never tried but... u can install chinese pinyin keyboard, set as default for that.

Thanks, 65 n 60 seems difference are  quite big

yes.

and take note the bigger the size, the more demanding it is.

esp mediocre-low quality video input.

in contrast, small size like 32-40", anything may come out acceptable.

Hi. May i know how u guy use internet browser on 6800 ? I try to search on apps store, Firefox, google cholme all dun have
*
if u r on android8, there is PUFFIN browser approved and installed (unless u said no during update).

common browsers like firefox, chrome are not approved in androidtv so u dun see them in playstore... but u can sideload them.

u can also sideload other browsers like brave, dolphin... no restriction, really.

just be mindful some versions of some browsers come with irritating extensions that u may not like, e.g. pop-ups, reminders, etc.

I installed apk files (suggest from 1st page) and the apps doesn't appear on main screen..how to set it to main screen ? Its only appear on setting > apps ..
*
only apps from tv playstore and some selected ones by sideloading will appear on the launcher.

those not appearing, u access them with another app where they will all be housed.

u can install sideload launcher as already suggested or hal launcher - the 2 most popular ones in playstore.
