Anyone recently bought s90c 65 inch or 55 inch?

I want to see the panel is first gen or second gen.

Thinking to get it from Lazada, the price is very attractive around 7K for 65”

i just ordered from 65 inch s90c from Lazada 2 days ago.
Still haven't received it yet so cannot confirm the panel is 1st or 2nd gen.
Just wondering y this s90c is not popular in Malaysia

Probably no Dolby Vision (Netflix only have Dolby vision) and expensive (economic downturn)

The electrical shop nearby me keep asking me to buy LG and avoid Samsung

Initially I wanted to get LG C3 65inch, but the price for C3 is about RM 1.5k more expensive.
So I just go with S90C. Hopefully it is a right choice

Lazada seller “my home” doesn’t want to honour 65” S90C 6.9k pricing and cancelled my order. mad.gif  sad.gif  ranting.gif

Oh no. I also ordered 65" S90C from Lazada but from different seller. Hopefully the seller don't cancel my order.
But thing don't look good at this moment as item was not shipped out yet.

Finally finish setting up the tv. here is my report:

1.The box is being hold by 3 flat plastic ropes. After cutting the 3 ropes, the top cupboard lit can be slide up, leaving the tv sitting on the bottom cupboard.

2. following the installation guide, on both left side and right side of bottom cupboard, there are "locks" which need to be unlock (origami style) in order to lay the bottom cupboard flat. this process will actually damage/crease the cupboard holding the lock. before me unlocking it, the cupboard appear to be new and fresh without any sign they have been folded/used before.

3. all the polyforms inside the cupboard holding the tv appear to be in good condition.

4. the white protective foam looks new, smooth and without crease, except there are some of minor folded area near the bottom part of the white foam touching the bottom polyform. maybe it was not being tuck in properly during factory packing. Anyway its minor. 95% of the white foam looks fresh.

5. tv still have the transparent peel in tack. no sign of it being pilled prior.

6. After turning on the tv, i forgot to immediately check the panel display time. After logging in all my apps, i checked the panel time using smartthings app (i dont have service remote). it shows (3) <-- with bracket.

7. initially i thought it means 3 hour? not bad? but after some further 15mins fiddling, the app shows (5). so i guess it means 50mins. i suspect after i pass the hour mark, it will show 1 (without bracket).

So based on all of the above, i conclude that the s90c 77" i bought with 12k is not a display unit, as the rumors suggest.
One interesting story to add is that, as i live in jb quite near to that exact shop selling all 3 size of s90c cheap, i actually went to the shop physically on 9/11 and pretending to be shopping for this tv. I did not want to ask the staff directly about their online listing because at that time i thought the price was a price error, and i didnt want to alert them.
The price for s90c 77" given by the promoter was rm20k (after the purported 11.11 discount). I just say i will consider and left.
Tempted to go back now and ask the promoter why i got it 8k (7k without laz cash) cheaper.

Great news. I received my 65" S90C yesterday and managed to set it up.
Checked the usage timer and confirmed it is a new set.
Confirmed from ANAPEAK values 512 so it is a 2nd gen panel.
Overall, I think 65" S90C at RM6.8k is a steal although Samsung Tizen operating system is at least 2 to 3 generation behind LG WebOS
