Yea,
Sharp mislead in specification stated that you can watch YouTube in HDR on UA6800X series (a few posts above).

Smart YouTube TV will be OK.
Pressing "DISPLAY" buttun on remote, you can check if is HDR, as bellow:

I updated mine. So far can't see any difference.  However i managed to install unifi play tv from Google play directly which was not available previously.  If only i could use the tv remote just like the hypptv decoder remote. That's would nice.

Yea,
beside security patch (June 5,2020) and kernel version (3.10.79-June 13,2020),
I can connect now WiFi 5GHZ without any problem.

your price is about right; the tv isn't so new.
i paid rm3.3k (5yr warranty) almost 2 years ago.

about HDR, if the video is HDR, u see HDR sign flashed at top left corner of tv.
it is auto detect, no setting.
youtube, i have never seen it flash... not sure if HDR works for youtube videos at all!
but, if u playback an HDR video, u see it come on.


the tv is not a superduper rm8-10k tv.
generally, it displays well, no problem... with standard or movie mode.
for 4khdr, u need to use dynamic, adjust yrself to find an acceptable set of parameters to bring out the details, brightness, color depths, etc.

I copy HDR video clips (Dolby Vision,HDR10+,HLG and HDR10) on my USB drive.
No any HDR sign flashed at top left corner ,but in pic setting HDR Gamma Adjustment is no more grayed and can adjust.

I asume that HDR icon only appear thru HDMI (DVD player).

To force HDR in YouTube ,I using latest SmartTube Next Beta ver.10.5

Btw,
I ordered TCL 50C716 QLED (for my room) and I will keep this TV in my daughter room. tongue.gif

so far ok, ntg to complain about with this price tag + japan panel

my old ux6800x video quality still beats the latest samsung entry level (recently bought for office use), both similar price tag and VA panel

will deeply consider latest sharp model in future for own use

CK1X HDR
I don't really see the resolution difference but unifi is a must
So at least your model can.
UA6800X can't......even is in spec. shakehead.gif

Edit:
Did you have any icon on TV that is playing HDR10 or HLG (hope CK1X have) ?

Disagree
According to Sharp Malaysia, it depends on sizes, i.e. all 60" made by 1 factory, 55" panels made by another
Not until u can prove ur 6800X panel made in Japan, don't be a smartass
Quite a few smartasses in here already

Excatly.....I agree.
Sample...... Sharp claim for UA6800X YouTube in HDR10, but can't. blush.gif

Hi Stasio,

Do you reckon it's the same for the newer 4TC60AL1X model as well?

Regards,
V.

I bought before AL1X came out.
After 1 year thin horizontal line came on screen, they replace complete TV.
After this ok, now using in my third room for kids.
All my posts about 6800X is here, even answer from Sharp that YouTube is not possible in HDR.
But advertisment/spec in Sharp web page say ...yes...haha.. sad.gif

Presently ,very happy with TCL 50C716 in my room...... nod.gif

Thanks, I have been reading through both discussions on the 6800X and the AL1X on this forum. The Sharp tech
specs says AL1X supports HDR for Netflix, YouTube, HDMI and USB but there's not much feedback from users if
this is really true.

Was thinking of getting the AL1X for my condo in JB where I am based for work now. A local shop is quoting RM
2500.00 nett for the 60 inch version of the AL1X.
*
Many times I asked AL1X owners about it, but so far no replay.
I suspect same as 6800X.

Edit:
6800X didn't support AppleTV+.... blush.gif

My LC-UE630x cannot watch YouTube about 2 weeks ago.
Now suddenly I can't even cast through my mobile phone.

Luckily still can cast with my laptop.

I'm thinking it is because it is still Android 6.

Thoughts anyone?

Please?
