QUOTE(Skrudrebar @ Aug 22 2019, 12:46 PM) G2? 50 55 or 58? Im intend to buy 50 inch g2 today.. Hows ur overall review bout g2? N yes its va not ips with pure hdr Overall loving it.... it is VA panel so you will notice some shift in contrast in some angle viewing...The TV out of the box need setting and it will be quite challenging setting it up... to the colour you want... It somehow come with cool colour so I adjust back to standard... reduce backlight as the backlight is crazy overpowering I set to half... some setting need to reduce as well like sharpness also need reduce... My computer can detect 4K with HDMI 2.0 but then cannot detect HDR... maybe not compatible cause not using HDR10 standards... Pure HDR can detect by Netflix and if you download HDR .mkv file it can render correctly... The TV can read NTFS and FAT file EXFAT cannot read... took me whole night to figure it out... damn! Playing games is great buy a gamepad from those ipega... you no regret one... I stream from Steam and it work wonders no lag... I also play emulator and so far it is great all those classic nintendo games can work... Games work fine some demanding games will lag cause the processor is mid spec only not flagship processor... The remote need to pair inorder voice assistance to work once setup correctly you will love this TV expecially when you have fast internet You can install apps like kodi and other apps to see movies/video/drama (dont ask where cause lowyat forum policy, just google and be smart) overall I'm satisfied with the TV... want to watch movie get a good soundbar or those powered bookshelves speaker that can take Optical |

Its 2 weeks since id received my 50g2 n im quite satisfied with the performance.. Im tried every gamepad i had.. Wired xbox n wireless bth ipega.. Both worked fine n accurate w/out lagged.. Im tried the wired kboard n also works well.. Put my quad partition hdisk.. All the partitions working good with es file explorer ( will nvr appeared on tvs google play.. Need 2 install apks on third parties).. Mx player only read the movie files which saved internal but using ex file explorer u will get it more fun to run the movies internal and xternal.. Chrome also need to install as third parties apk.. For much fun, we also can use the aftermarket launcher instead of factory launcher.. One more things.. We also can use the mouse wired or wirelessly very well to scrolling the website.. Downloaded the google remote into my phone n my phone turned as a remote with wan or bth joint..

Hey, I am not sure about other people but for me I have to say that it does a really good job. The sound output is not so great but overall it performs well. I was surprise to know that its from China. Nevertheless, I can recommend Skyworth TV's.

One thing I would like to complaint is the colour calibration. When switching between Youtube and Netflix. When opening Youtube, I prefer the setting on Cinema, so that its not so bright. But when opening Netflix, the colour is too dimmed. So When watching Netflix, I will have to change to Vivid mode, or Bright. But, when in this mode, the Youtube will be so bright... haha.... I've tried to manually adjust the colour setting so that, its in the middle when watching Youtube or Netflix, but still could not find the colour+brightness that I prefer.
