SHARP UA6800X 4K HDR TV

good that u start this.

a user of ue630x, i am now looking at the LC60UA6800X to replace an 8yr old sharp lcd.

no rush for me... maybe next few months, see how price change.

below all relevant links reposted from predecessor ue630x thread:

ASTROGO - Android 8.0:

old v8.2.6 is dead... original or modified.
u can use this current official one:
2.193.4/AC19.3.4/5ba5ed3
https://apkpure.com/astro-go-watch-tv-shows...com.astro.astro

but u will find live HD channels juddering, no good; live SD or VOD is fine.
this happens to most ATV devices; many boxes on regular android are OK.
axtro is doing all they can to stop smart tv's from using this app - they want u to use mobile devices or decoder only.
we wait to see if anyone will come out with a new modified version.
cat n mouse game continues....

for those keen on using the androidtv 8.0 of 6800x, here's what i am using/had used, fully tested, all good:

FROM PLAYSTORE:

.. Sideload Launcher or HAL launcher, use it as shortcut in UI to access all apps.

.. Indic Keyboard, set as default to bring up the keyboard for relevant apps (not sure why default Gboard keyboard does not work).

great price... i hope the 60" will come down soon!!

yr sony is 3d smart 1080p... 3 yrs old?

coming from 65", u should consider the 60", not 50"!

ya... no review by anyone... could a regional model, not int'l.

but if it is built same as ue630x+HDR, it should be ok.

if i remember correctly, this p7000 series is only smart tv, not androidtv.

so, 6800x has a bonus!

then again, sharp north america has been sold to hisense - will not be the same in all aspects.

le830 is 7-8 years old!

quattron or aquos... visit the stores, u will see what the new 4k hdr sharps are capable of.

hmm... that, i can't really do.

becos i have not judged them side by side and have not used a sony for a long long time.

but i have used the sharp's predecessor ue630x for 2 years now; the ua6800x is an improvement over it.

am i happy with the ue630x? yes, extremely!

i will suggest u u vist the stores a couple more times and judge with own eyes vis-a-vis the prices.

other things to consider, for me at least:

.. compare same size... 50" vs 50, 60 vs 60.
.. no of hdmi inputs... i think the sharp has 4, the sony has 3.
.. smart tv... how smart... i think the sharp is androidtv, the sony is smart with own platform/apps... not sure.
.. ethernet/wifi dual band... 2.4/5ghz... think both has.
.. warranty, extended warranty price.

i know a lot of people w/o hesitation will say "buy sony", w/o even taking a second look at the details.

but i suggest u look pass the brand, get into the details, esp what u expect out of it.

i am not rushing to buy it but is considering, maybe sometime this year.

this ua6800x has all that i am looking for:
.. hdr
.. androidtv, 5ghz
.. 4 hmdi inputs
.. fit nicely into my existing wall mount bracket

not interested in tv usb player as i have my own better player.

all the best!

That being the case, your decision should be easy...

Trust your own eyes, always!

oh...?

i thought u said u "managed to see both the screen side by side..."?

or u meant ue630x?

surely u cannot just buy... so, u gotta find a place to view it.

once u make up yr mind about picture quality, it's all up to price, yr budget...

and what u need... as i described... no. hdmi, androidtv, etc.

to me, 60 as as good as 65.

becos it's just 2" wider on each side.

i wouldn't know as i did not go there.

u can call and ask, though.

there is no 55" for this model.

only 50 and 60.

3 years extended warranty is good, worth rm500 at least.

Unlikely it will be a 65in for ua6800x.

I m guessing it will be a regional version of the p7000 or p9000 series sold by hisense in north america.

That model... is smart tv, not androidtv.

Any more news, please share.

very tempting...!

u bought 2.5years late and 30% cheaper - fair result!

comparing with the shop's videos? same ones?


dynamic mode... the usual mode they use in the shop since ambience is bright.

this mode, seldom use at home... usually standard or movie... for videos.

lc60ua6800x... senheng... rm4799+free gifts... out of stock.

can't find in lazada or 11th street.

https://www.senheng.com.my/sharp-60-inch-4k...c60ua6800x.html

dunno... never visited them... i just read from the website.

if suppose u hv not used an android box before..?

well, some people dun really care if it is smarttv or androidtv - as long as there is youtube and netflix.

i look for more... and i use android boxes a lot.

only with androidtv can u sideload all other apps, just like those in yr android phone or android tablet or android box.

it is nice to have some apps in the tv such that with just the tv on alone, i can have all the good stuff.

not just youtube and netflix but other apps that provide int'l news, int'l tv channels, movies, tv shows - in hd.

androidtv can also take local iptv apps like astrogo, unifi playtv and ilfix.

one can say no need that, use separate box.

to that, i say why not hv both, can use the box somewhere else or for other purpose!

the androidtv in this tv is fairly good one, i will give it a value of rm400.
