ar... ok, good to know.

had looked at the specs previously.

alx1 diff with ua6800x - i saw only 2 - direct lit vs edge lit; hdmi 2 back+2 side vs 4 back.

price diff... any idea?

30800.20181205 security patch Oct 1, 2018.

just arrived... takes 10 mins only.

and yes, u can now playback HDD via installed player apps.... mx, vlc, archos, kodi.
if using kodi player with home theater, set the audio to passthru, ac, transcoding.

that will take care of all audio types.

since the TV can handle up yo dolby digital only, all higher audio types (dd+, ddtruehd, ddatmos, dts, dtshdma, dtsx) will be transcoded to DD.

which is acceptable.

i hv tested it for a while.

mx does not even do dolby, get only aac2.0.... not sure about vlc or archos.

kodi does.

and the native player continues to be poor... can't do dts at all, no transcoding... so, no audio for these.
