Sharp is very evasive and secretive in providing product details. Plus the fact that there are no proper reviews to be found (in part due to the model numbering) makes it very difficult to understand what we are getting.
Its best to assume the worst and make a decision whether its worth it for you.
Panel native refresh rate: 50/60hz
WCG: Assume not available since there is nothing indicating DCI P3 & REC.2020 coverage
Panel colour depth: 8 bits with minimal HDR
Brightness: 300 - 350 nits (not a good HDR tv)

Yes 8bit panels can also support HDR. And there are also 10bit panels that are rubbish for HDR. So its not a sure thing that 10bits will give you good HDR because colour palette coverage, tone mapping, brightness, etc are important too.
Sometimes 8bits + FRC is already good enough if done properly.

All that being said, I liked what I saw for both the 6800X & 6500X and I think its very decent for the (promo) price + extended warranty. Its well worth it if one is not very fussy about what they are getting.

This is getting to a very informative and interesting discussion, especially for me who is considering the 6800 model. In your opinion, which other model from others manufacturer is superior to 6800 in this price range? Sony 8000E...panasonic or samsung and why? I hope you dont mind to share your opinion.

Thank u, does this means price for 60 - 6800 has gone up? It seems like counter logic as this is a current model and prices should be sliding down as more and more newer model comes to the market, should I wait for the next promo? Any advice?

Hi there, so 6800X 50 inch panel still made in Japan huh. I will go down to showroom to check it out next week.

Great to know Digital Freeview built in, so far the live reception for all malaysia hd channels a lot of times no signal. But I guess after world cup no more need to watch those channels.

My generation has witnessed the VRC era for sure. But cannot recall Betamax. I do still have a Sony VCR in my hall that's not switched on for donkey years. I doubt it is still working anymore.

I just pull the trigger and bought the 6800-60 inches at the home expo @sunway. To my limited knowledge this is one of the better deal for this few weeks.

Lol I been holding on since Feb and always miss the deal. KL AV show is too far from me both in date and venue.

I pay 3500 for the TV and get the bag + 5 years warranty. Already a better deal than ESS and HN quoted me.

Hi AV,

No ill intention but now that I am on the other side I am hoping the price slide will stop! Lol! Last week I was still praying for it to drop but now is the reverse!

While walking out of the exhibition hall, my wife notice the LG OLED and she asked “ why are we not getting that one? The picture looks better and I like the stand”

.................

The TV is delivered! Currently enjoying the bigger than life image! Frankly it is not impressive as OLED but that will be comparing it to a higher class!

The acid test will be the live telecast of football later!
