Hi all, i'm looking to buy a new TV for my homestay use.
Budget is around 1.1-1.3k, looking at size 43" to 55", LED screen.
Any recommendation for particular model to look at?

For that kind of budget , just get something from TCL .

I was shopping for a new TV and was informed by salesman that Samsung LED panels are now made in China and are not very durable, but LG still makes their panels in Korea and lasts longer.

Any comments on this? I realize this is Samsung thread, but hope to have unbiased replies...

Partially correct , Samsung has shut down their LCD fab for a while now .
Therefore most of their current LCD screens come from TCL. TCL is currently one of biggest LCD manufacturer ( & BOE ).
This shouldn't be a dealbreaker , because Panasonic and Sony too have purchased TV panels from them.


As for LG , a large number of their LCDs are still IPS screens , which have been obsolete for awhile.

LCD TV rarely last more than 5 years thesedays , this is true regardless of brand. What you should be looking for is warranty and after sale services.
It is unfortunate in MY , the salesman remain clueless about TVs , along with the rabid fanbois and snake oil ambassador in this forum.

Shitty salesman if anything...

Samsung actually sold their factories in China to TCL and transferred all their patents on VA panel to TCL. Sony and Samsung still get their panel from the same factory now owned by TCL for most of their higher end tv that are using VA panel for better black levels. They also get ADS panel from BOE for some of their midrange model which offered similar characteristic as IPS panel manufactured by LG.

IPS panel are basically the one to avoid if anything due to the purplish tint when displaying black color. The only real benefits of IPS is the color shift when viewed from side are slightly better than that of VA panel.

Additionally LG made IPS panel tv offered a lot less dimming zones when compared to Samsung made ADS/VA panel TV.

The Best Samsung OLED in 2024 is either S90D or last year's S90C (2nd gen ) , buy whichever model you can find that is cheaper .

They are more affordable and their performance is very close to the flagship S95.
If you have an universal remote you can unlock the TV to close that 1-2% gap ( which is NOT recommended if you want the TV to last longer ).


They are simply the best TV screens you can buy in MY commercially without paying the Sony Tax.

After spending sometime with these QD OLED you will never want to go back to the LG WOLEDs despite better picture processing from the latter.

The lack of Dolby Vision is not an issue in 2024. Theres little need for tonemapping since most recent TV shows and movies are graded at 1000-1500 cd/m2.

Tizen 8 update is here for last year's TV, now with One Ui as well







Initial impression.... tbh a bit underwhelmed, there's not much changes to the UI other than some rearrangement

Infact some parts have took a step back imo

- pressing the settings button on the remote no longer brings up the quick settings directly... instead it now brings up a seperate menu and you need to select the setting icon again to bring up the quick settings. A 2 step process now



- Exiting an app now eg: youtube will show you the Live TV page instead of the homepage. I not sure if there's a setting somewhere for this, havent checked but I hope there is otherwise this is such a big downgrade... I dont mind the quick settings change above but this one will get annoying pretty quickly (update: false alarm. Quiting an app still brings you back to the homepage. Not sure why it doesn't work yesterday)

Looking for 75" QLED Q70D 4K Smart TV, any comment and feedback for this model?

My qa55q80takxxm screen suddenly have horizontal line and ghosting, hmmm
Have any one hv send it for repair similar kind of Tv to service center or any repair shop?

Below average edge-lit model , avoid like a plague.

From now on if you are aiming for budget levels TV from the big 4, you can get a free upgrade in specs from brands like TCL.
Picture quality isn't exactly a concern.



If the TV is still within warranty period, just call Samsung and they will take care of it.
Otherwise just buy a new one, repairing the screens often cost more than buying a whole new TV.

Unfortunately the update doesn't really do anything other than a bridge for future updates.
The integrated ads are also far more frequent thesedays.

I do however , find the One UI slightly more pleasant to use and to look at maybe because I been using their cellphones for a while.

I think the bridge update was the previous update. This update is actually the 'big' one where Tizen was updated from version 7 to 8 and it brings One UI

Honestly I've never seen an ad since the update lol... it was appearing everyday before I updated to Tizen 8

The One UI changes are underwhelming, just slight design changes to the icons and fonts. Menu and UX wise a lot remained unchanged, with some downgrades as mentioned in my previous post

what is the okay price range to get the s90c?

Hi all,

Lg qned80 or Samsung Q65D?

Or any better alternative at similar price range. Samsung QN series abit too expensive.

S90C is last year's model, so I would at least expect hefty discounts .
Obviously I can't speak for everyone since some ppl have better bargaining skills.

If you are aiming for the 65" , 6-8k is a pretty reasonable price. Most second gen S90C have went out of stocks by now.

S90D is the newer model, I have seen it going for below 9K from Kronoshop.
Desahome also offers some pretty steep discount around this time.


Both are mediocre TVs, only recommended if you are on low budget or just want a screen to watch and don't care about the image quality.
Slightly leaning towards the Samsung's model because it has better contrast.

My CU7100 just now pop up One UI update

75"

TCL QLED T7B RM 3729 (Free wall mount)
vs
Samsung QLED QE1D RM 4599

I'm keen towards TCL due to price
Wife wants safer bets as the old Samsung still running after 4yrs

More on watching Youtube and TV box
Any comment on this?

For any mid range and entry level, you are better off with TCL.
Samsung doesn't invest lot of effort into their LCD thesedays. They're lagging behind from the QD OLED or 8K models.

want to upgrade from almost 11 year old 55in samsung f7100...

Although quite wishful, but i hope the next tv can last another 10 years...

Mainly tv and netflix...maybe console in the future...will be on about 6 hours a day.

With that in consideration, for samsung brand, 65 inch size should i get :
1) s90c oled; or
2) qn95c qd miniled

i understand the price difference, i can accept it

how much should i worry for oled burn in?
