So fast? You bought from Shop? So sad...lost another brudder to the Evil Corporation SONY....




Anyway, mine is PS4 Slim, as far as i can tell, it is pretty much looks the same in terms of frame rates to me. But i have no means to measure nor compare, so can't say for sure. But i believe it won't have drastic performance impact. Maybe it does cost some processing power, but it's too little to be significant.

btw, read that this game Ratchet and Clank in the map/menu somewhere can turn the HDR ON/OFF and see the effect clearly. Maybe can try this as a test as well.

If you have AVR, please test out the HDMI ARC as well...

Yes, PS4 Slim only 1080p, but it still can do HDR. But so far, without comparing side by side, very hard to tell if its any major difference.

Your PS4 will detect if the TV is capable and set the HDR to "Automatic". And another setting, "Deep Color" or something to "Full" or "Automatic", i think. You don't have to do anything.

Initially i tried to connect via my AVR (PS4->AVR->TV), but my AVR only can passthrough 4k@30hz and no HDR. The HDR setting in the PS4 is disabled and i can't do anything to it. So now, i am connecting PS4 directly to TV.

And if you enable the LINK setting in your PS4 (and HDMI-CEC in TV), turning on PS4 will turn on your TV as well.

Seems like good deal. The specs looks the same as 6800x ,but this is newer model right?

Bro Simonsayz should have bought this....

The spec seems exactly the same...even backlight are Edge backlight....hmm...only difference is it has no Eilex Prism and weight lighter a bit. I will say go for it!

Honestly dont see point of 8k model....unless you need like over 80 inch TV. Contents also dont have...seems pointless for now. Better to make newer Androids TV with faster processors, bigger storage, Aquamotion, HDR 2.1 with eArc and Dolby Atmos, local dimming and maybe OLED. Sharp dont have OLED right?

Although there are home contents for 8K, commercial contents won't be coming anytime soon. Even 4k contents is so little. This morning i tried going in front of TV to check pixels when playing 4K videos, i can't see any jaggies or square pixels at all. Much less sitting 8 feet away. Even if it does cascade down to smaller TVs, IMO, it is pointless and just a marketing gimmick to sell TVs. You really don't need it coz you won't be able to see the difference anyway (unless you got bionic eyes, maybe can.. )

I agree with you that TV makers should not focus on Audio, but given the trends, they should at least make it easy for people to passthrough Dolby Atmos or whatever new sound encoding format to the AVR. Because built in Smart/Android TV will be a standard thing. In fact, i don't think you can find dumb TV anymore short of some no name China brand from TESCO.

So hopefully HDMI 2.1 and eARC will be holy grail of the next gen equipments, where true plug and play is possible....not having the user to troubleshoot 1000 possible problems!

More Reviews Updates:
1. This morning got shock by TV. When boot up, Netflix, Youtube, DTV all disappeared from the Home Screen. After a while, the items appears back, but the UI is changed a little bit. Can't move horizontally to the left most like previously. Pressing "OK", instead of activating the app, it pops up a menu "Open, Move....". So need to click Open again to activate the app. Restarted a few times, still the same. Thought i am screwed and need factory reset. Then i remember i played with the Orientation app last night and set to landscape. So i set it back to "Automatic" and everything's fine again....Wheew!

2. Btw, also installed BitDefender last night. Have to sideload this app. Works fine, it even adds an option in the Menu setting to enable/disable the Bitdefender.

3. Installed Popcorn Time, works great too!

4. Tested Nintendo Switch finally. Some people says it will looks bad on 4K TV. I have tested a few games. Looks OK to me, no need to do any settings.

One question on shutting down the TV. I press the power button to put TV off/standby and then turn off my main power. Is this ok? Because i would assume i need to proper shutdown the Android, but the screen doesn't shows anything, so i don't know if it has been proper shutdown before i turn off the power.

You meant 16k? lol. I didn't realized passthrough also needs to pay license? Just passing to someone else to decode wor...

Even my S8+ i only use FHD+ (2200 x 1080), eventhough it can do 2K resolution....can't tell the difference anyway!

But my TV needs to be turned off when nobody is at home. Basically, i just powered down the main switch which connects to everything including modem and router.

There is also a "Quick Start" option. The description says turning it ON use a little more power. What does it do actually?

I cannot. Must turn off everything. Wife will complain if i don't.

The only thing allowed in the house to remain power on is the Fridge and the power to heat the piano( to keep moisture away), which is a low power heater of sort inside the piano....

i don't think price can go down any lower...they will just phase it out. Now RM500 for 32" FHD. Next time RM500 for 32" 4K. Then maybe 55" onwards all 8k and jual mahal again. And the cycle continues.

Congrats and welcome to the brotherhood!

Bought almost same time as me, i guess.

1. Auto turn on/off - have you connected to any device like PS4, AVRs etc? Because if HDMI-CEC is enabled those devices might cause it. Example turning on the PS4 will automatically turn on the TV as well. It can also be caused by WOL (Wake on Lan) if that is turned on. A live LAN might triggers it to turns on. After you have check and change the settings, tru restarting it just to be sure. The restart function is in the "About" menu i think.

2. There is a factory reset somewhere, try the above before doing this.

Found a new feature. The TV can do Splitscreen app! A bit like Windows 10, but not as flexible i think. The screen will get squashed to the side instead of maintaining aspect ratio. Not sure if it can do 4 screen like Windows 10
I think it will be very useful if can split 4 screen for those with 60 inches and above TV. Beside splitting the screen with apps, you can actually split it with your input source, ex, PS4. So you have Chrome one side and PS4 the other side. But problem is aspect ratio not maintained, maybe there is a setting somewhere?

Beside this, you can press ALT TAB on your keyboard to switch apps. You can also select to close the indovidual app when use in combination with the mouse.

If you have Unchartered 4, try it. It can turn on HDR on/off in-game. So far that is the best way for me to compare. But honestly, HDR just looks...different to me, not neccessary better or worse.

After using my UA6800X intensely for about a week, i think i ran into almost similar problem. But i think this has more to do with the app though.

Using this apk for MyPadTV. Sometimes, after watching some episodes, it will break and stop, attempt to replay the same episode will be met with a blank black screen. However, you can still go back to Home by pressing the "Home" button, however, if i want to watch back the same episdoe earliar, i will need to restart it.

Another issue encountered is auto restart, not sure what causes this, but i suspect it could be the KeepSolid VPN i am using causing it. I remember when i didn't turn it on, it did't auto restart, need to monitor some more to be sure.

Keep Solid VPN is official ATV playstore app. Only thing is the Mypad APK and maybe Bitdefender...not sure if installing Bitdefender is a good idea...maybe if this still happens, i will uninstall it and monitor.

Btw, the Setorientation App cause problems even if not used, it tends to screw up my Homescreen, i have it uninstalled. So far so good.

Another thing, i am trying to play my medias from my NAS. Using Kodi to access it, it can see the NAS, but loading directory seems to be freaking slow. Is there any better apps to view the photos and videos in my NAS?

What brand/model ah? Maybe itchy handed to get one to play play. LOL.

Ic. Thks. I am using SMB as well, will test out the ES Explorer next, I have both wired and AC connections, i think my AC connections is just as fast as a 100Mbit wired. I stream mostly on AC nowadays, i will test it out later with both to see if there is any difference, over the weekend.

Think will get an Android box soon before Gobind Singh haramkan.

Yes, i know the TV only 100mbit, which is why i use Wifi AC. I have a good external Tplink WifiAC for PC use...damn good and fast, faster than powerline adapter on 1Gbit (powerline is the bottleneck). Hmm...i wondwr if it will work if i plug in to TV.....opps...better not, later blow it up. Haha!

But illegal apps is a must if i buy a separate Android box....

PWTC got fair now? If still got the petrol redeem voucher, seems like good deal.

After nearly two weeks, i have received notification regarding my Petronas redemption voucher on the way from GDEX.

So far, after 2 weeks using this TV, very satisfied.

I only have 1 issue, which is sometimes it auto-restart, not sure if the apps are causing it or it happens after prolonged usage like > 3hours? Anyone have experienced this?
