For the smaller sizes ( 50 >) , yes .
For bigger sizes (55+) you should probably ask the merchant first .

Only if we are talking about the regular TVs.

In the premium market , LG's signature OLEDs have overtook Samsung's QLEDs as the leading position . Even Sony's premium models have sold more than the so called QLEDs thesedays .

By nature ,the QLED isn't enough of dramatic improvement over the normal LCD compare to the OLEDS.
Which is why Samsung is getting kind of jumpy about their premium models thesedays , because that's the section where they make the biggest profit .

LG and Sony both have their own Micro-LED panels showcased a while ago . I am pretty sure TCL and Hisense have cooked up something similar .
So the technology isn't exactly exclusive to Samsung .

No , only in the premium section such as the master series (AF9 , ZF9 , AG9 ) , AG8 and the upcoming XG95 & XG90 (?)


But it is nothing more than a marketing gimmick by their PR campaigns .
The Netflix calibrated mode simply re-uses the most accurate settings out of the box from TV ( which is the Custom / Cinema Pro mode ) , except it is built into the app and you cannot run any test patterns in it.

It is better , a lot better especially when it comes to HDR capabilities.

The thing of getting a bigger screen is you get a more immersive experience from the larger screen size filling up your vision.

For most people it would be a tough choice , it will have to come down to if you watch enough HDR content to justify the sacrifice of screen sizes.
And since you have a ps4 which has considerable number of HDR games , You are probably better off with NU8000.

only in terms of pricing , NU8000 is still a much better HDR TV than X8500F .

XF85 is a great choice if you are mostly watching SDR content and sports show.

Nope , 6320 is the entry level model . NU8000 and XF85 are mid range .

The LG is a bit better for user experience , the NU8000 is better for picture performance .

They are both Mid-range LCD TVs .


If you are not in rush , probably just wait for the new 2019 models which are going to launch in roughly 2-3 months .

There will be quite a dramatic improvement on the upcoming Full Array Local Dimming system and wider viewing angles on VA panels .


Again , I expect the Mid range ~ High end ( at least RM 4k and above ) of LED LCD TVs from major brands to get an upswing in 2019 . So if your budget fall within the range , you may want to hold your horse for a just a little longer.

Else the entry level 4k TVs are pretty much going to stay the same as last year , with even less features to save on manufacturing cost as the trend has been continuing for awhile.

Samsung's new QLED TV , Q60R will be available to preorder for less than RM3000 very soon.

Yep I saw that , the ads have gone up quietly during midnight .

RM2999 for a new QLED TV is definitely a new low , especially if you have a pretty small room and don't really need a big TV .


I haven't got the chance to check them out but expect the Q60 to be a slight upgrade over Samsung last year's NU8000 .

Probably , this is effectively a 40% discount .


Its closest competitor is last year NU8000 and Q6FN , the latter which is overpriced and find itself struggling to find a place among the sea of TVs.


The Q60R is probably a bit of an upgrade over the two , but conservatively we are to expect very a similar performance between Q6FN and NU8000.
NU8000 was the best mid-range LCD TV in Malaysia but then it is only available in 55 " and above . This is the first time a Quantum Dots TV is available in 49 " .


Again I will have to reserve my judgement until I've actually seen them .
As for the other brands , they have basically given up on the mid range market.

define " good " ?

Not , they are not yet available here .


Samsung is to maintain a certain level of PQ ratings with their QLED models , so the Q60R should at the very least pack some of those impressive quality from its bigger brothers , like excellent color coverage and decent HDR .

The main trade off is , the Q60R does not has full array local dimming like Q70R, Q80R and Q90R .

Should also be noted the 49 " version does not support VRR / Freesync if you are a gamer.


This has more to do with the upscaling algorithm , rather than processor power . Sony is known for their proprietary dual database image enhancing procedure , Samsung and LG are also joining the trend this year in which they called it " AI Upscaling " . According to Samsung the Q60R will also utilize AI upscaling .


Just remember TV is no miracle device , 720p content is not going to look good on a 4k screen regardless of how amazing the upscaling is.

this is topic for 4k tv under 3k , there is a QLED VS OLED thread you will find more info there

Pick up the Q60R instead.

Q60R is the 2019's entry lvl QLED . The preorder price is still 2999 on LAZ , did you manage to find a Q6FN cheaper than that ?

The 49 " Q60R has a 100/120hz panel , but without the support of Free-sync and VRR .

Rting's review of the unit is up here for those who care about the measurement and numbers.

Correction : the whole Q60R line up has a 100/120 hz refresh rate but the specific size of 49" only has a maximum of 50/60hz refresh rate .

Well if you are only running low res and highly compressed content, obviously there aren't going to be much difference .
Try running some demo from here , look for those which are marked " HDR ".

That has nothing to do with the native contrast of the TV we are casually talking about in this forum , a.k.a the pendulum that swings from the deepest black to the brightest possible part of the screen.

The contrast settings you see from the TV menu is merely expanding the white and black levels , at the cost of blowing out the whites and crushing the black details . It does not make the TV brighter . (or darker)

A TV that is able to produce high level of brightness , does not mean it is always going to stay at the same level of dazzling luminance.
It means the TV is able to better showcase highlights and brighter colors , enabling them to " pop " out of the screen . It shouldn't have caused so much discomfort to your eyes but to give you a sense of realism from the picture.

The small light bulb can emit 3000 cd/m2 of brightness and most TV can only do 300 cd/m2 . If your TV remains uniformly bright most of the time , it is sign of poor backplane management/malfunction.


In most cases , the IPS and VA TV share the same level of maximum brightness .

The reason why IPS TV are so far behind is because it produces crappy black levels , caused by the uneven shape of screen pixel which makes it difficult to cover up LED backlight . The black you saw on LCD TV is not true black , it is a deeper shades of gray.


*But if your room is decently lit , there is no need to dwell between the two because you will not notice the difference of black levels between VA & IPS in a bright room.
The same reason we have been telling people you cannot tell Picture quality on a TV just by going to the store unless they are to let you turn oFF the lights .

As of today (2019) , Contrast rating is still generally considered by professional as the most important factor in determining picture quality of TVs.

Chart is wrong , UK6500 is not a WRGB TV


wRGB is not the same as RGBW . The UK6500 is neither .

There is no reason not to get a 4k TV right now especially if you expect the TV to last more than 2 years .

At your budget you can get This for $3499 or This for $3399 . The Sony TV is a little bit brighter but I don't think your parent will notice the difference under normal viewing environment.


Of course , you don't have to buy from these two specific merchant and I am not affiliated with them , I merely link them for price reference.
