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 tv usb player, androidtv apps or other player will work with arc - dolby digital works if applicable.
.. 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

Located in living room. So, it is never dark dark.

I will say dark scenes come out much better than previous non hdr model, esp 2160p hdr10 videos.

Of course, it depends on the quality of the source.

Thks. Ok shd be similar conditions as mine..... my proposed set up similar ie 60inch with Q10/Unifi 100mbs n hypetv.

Deciding on sharp sound bar for easy set up/space saving or AVR ie reuse old Pioneer 5.1 HTIB!

Need to figure out best location for 60 inch and above as current location can only fit 49inch 😐. Btw did yr package come with free wall bracket?

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. 😜

I have never been a fan of soundbars, never used one.
Better spend a bit more to get an entry level 5.1! biggrin.gif
Old htib... may be problematic if connections are too old.
Still, if it worked before even with optical input, can be quite alright.

No, i used existing bracket on wall panel.
The tv is said to be 39kg.

If u have q10pro and a good video collection, this tv will work good for u.
More so if have a theater system.
Q10pro produces excellent video and audio output with good sources.
Great picture, great audio, apa lagi mahu? biggrin.gif

This tv may not be among the latest and the greatest as in gled, xled, zled... tongue.gif
But for its price, what it delivers, together with androidtv... pretty good.

Netflix, last page, xxcolex mentioned that.
I am not certain as i am not using netflix.

Youtube, i doubt it.
The display button does not work with it.
You can check at stats for nerds but i think for 4k, it only shows 3840x2160, no mention of hdr.
Using my box, a youtube 4k hdr video is displayed as just 2160p, no hdr.
So, i guess its the same with youtube from tv.
No idea if this is due to licensing or app version or some other restriction.

If you're willing and your Denon AVR supports ARC, you could try installing VLC to test out media files with DTS/DTS-HD/DD+/DD ATMOS and etc.

VLC could play them (with sound on TV speakers), just dunno if ARC passthrough would be DTS/DTS-HD/DD+/DD ATMOS streams or not. Can get those files from Dolby website or search for Dolby trailers hosted on thedigitaltheater.com.

I'm curious.

i hv tried them in the older tv, which i think is the same.

vlc can play and get aac audio only.

using vlc, mx, es player, yes player, xplayer... also can but problems with subtitles, fwd, rwd, etc... a waste of time, imo. tongue.gif

these free players can't do much; paid versions possibly better; tv makers will not spend money for licensing, etc.

rightly so as they compete on display-picture, not audio and playback players which should be left to other people.

i never bothered too much with hdmi arc or optical as i dun use tv for files playback.

got a much better box for that.

i am also surprised by the price of this one... bigger n better but cheaper than its predecessor 2.5 yrs ago!

this purchase was considered 6 months ago... waited for AV fair.

now, i have 2 home theater sets - one for all in the family and one for myself in a room.

if anything else i have to say, it will be... start junking sd/720p files, keep only full 1080p/2160p/hdr/bdmv's.

more so with 800mbps coming, nice! thumbup.gif
