I pulled the trigger and got LC60UA6800X from Lazada. As I am going to use this for PS4 gaming, I hope it delivers...Priority is 4K and HDR.
Anyone play 4K games on this TV do share your input?

Yes, 27th March. Slowpoke delivery. Today reached Subang Skynet office. Called to skynet today, ask them to make sure call before deliver to ensure someone at home. They say  will deliver sometime next week. Hopefully nothing bad happens....Skynet is not exactly the best couriers....

What about your TV? Can track already?

Lucky for you, mine still processing and not dispatched out even. Messaged seller they say due to many orders on 27th march there will be some delay... doh.gif
Which seller you buy from? I got it from DesaHome. I guess I will have to wait next week or week after to get my delivery. dry.gif

My TV arrived liao!

But Skynet being skynet, called me when they are arriving in 10 minutes time. :x Already told them to call me at least 1 day b4. So i have to rush back home to receive the item.

Haven't unpack yet...tonight only unpack. Lots of things to do b4 that...remove old TV, rearrange all the consoles and HTPC to make room for the new TV, reconnect all the cables, clean some dusty places around the TV rack.......urgh....lots of work.

How's your TV? Arrived?

Damn bro, you have fast delivery, mine still processing. Messaged them still no reply yet. Damn slow delivery... I actually want to self collect but not sure if my car can fit it. doh.gif

50" i think can lah, Just put behind passengers seat on the floor. If car like City, i think can. I think old Mawi also can, maybe Viva, Saga, Iriz, new Persona maybe got challenge.

Width of TV is 1125mm x711mm  (based on actual specs), about 44.29 x 28 inches. If include packing, maybe add 2 extra inches. 46.5 x 30 inches x maybe 5 inches thick. So you measure your car and see. biggrin.gif

But I bought a 60 inch and drive a Honda Insight. I can put down the seats but not sure if it fits in. laugh.gif

Anyone who bought 60 inch care to share how big is the box?

Unfortunately for me, seller called me saying the LC60 is out of stock and have to wait until end of April. doh.gif
So I had to cancel the order.

I went and bought a Sony KD55X7000F instead. Heard the android version is laggy so avoided X7500F. tongue.gif

I think somebody did that in the forums....need to call SHARP to replace motherboard. Anyway, if there is no specific needs, i don't see why you need to downgrade. Mine came as Android 8.0, no complaints other than audio delay to my AVR, which is a problem related to interfacing rather than TV problem.

How I wish my order has stock...damn now I got to settle with another brand. sad.gif
How's your experience so far with PS4 Pro? Any difference in 4K gaming? Do you get frame rate drops when playing games?

My Sony TV just arrived today so gonna test 4K gaming tonight. rclxms.gif

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

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.

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

I actually bought from the same shop in Lazada..Oh well..

I think PS4 Slim cannot render in 4K. Need to use PS4 Pro then only can play 4K games. From this link: https://www.quora.com/Will-a-PS4-Slim-work-...ayed-on-a-4K-TV

I do not have AVR unfortunately as I am just using a Logitech Z906 for speaker setup.

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.
*
I see. Does the TV say it is in HDR mode? Maybe can check PS4 settings. hmm.gif

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.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing the info. thumbsup.gif

Though I didn't get 6800X but still happy to get a 4K TV. Had a test with PS4 Pro at 4K HDR. Its really sharp and smooth framerate.
Maybe later I will get another Sharp TV for other room. I still prefer 60 inch model. biggrin.gif

Anyone using Android box? I am surprise my box can work in 4K 30fps HDR mode. Only manage to test 1080P video streams for now but it looks rather decent.

2 years is not so old, likely ok.

Best to get a variety of videos, test if they come out ok on the tv.

2160p, 10bit, hdr, hevc, 24, 30, 50, 60fps.

If some come out jerky, washed out colors or too dark, u may want ot consider new box. biggrin.gif

Or course, audio capability is another story.

OK thanks for the information. Will give it a try an see. thumbsup.gif
