do you know how many local dimming zone it have?

none , how do you count " zones " in edge lit based TV ? You can't , there aren't any zones .

Why do say Sony Android OS is a disaster?
I am thinking to get Sony over Samsung due to Sony being an Android TV

Got an offer of RM3.4k for a Samsung 55"NU8000. Unused and in a box. Worth it? Appreciate Sifus views. Thanks

Let me buy

The number of LED in edge = number of zone.
I guess so

Samsung my choice.
Reason is made in JB.

Definitely worth it. Been looking for it everywhere not to find one.

What do you think about its motion?
Did you know its native motion rate of the panel?

waa..good deal..NU8000 far2 better than RU8000.

Hi all sifus, would like a recommendation for below usage:

- living room, sitting maybe 2m away
- mostly medium lighting to dark
- ps4 pro gaming
- lots of netflix & amazon prime video
- 55" preferably

Can suggest the best 4K models for below budget? Based on my reading of this thread, I see the below 2 being shortlisted, are they other's better within the price range?

Below 3K

Philips 55PUT6233S - 2199
Sony KD-55X7500F - 2399


Below 4k

Samsung UA55NU8000 - 3699
Panasonic TH-55GX800K - 3709


cheers and TIA!

Thanks for your feedback bro.

Considering 55X8000G vs 55NU8000 which would be better in terms of the picture quality and for PS4 Pro gaming?
I hear that Sony TV's general have more input lag?

It is safe to say that the NU8000 is still more preferable to the GX800?

Definitely NU8000 if you expect better HDR gaming! NU8000 also have very low input lag and support FreeSync too (Variable sync)
Generally yes, but some new models are pretty good.

I will prefer NU8000! Better build in sound system & higher peak brightness (~800). 120Hz panel!
Better interface than pana.

GX800 strength: Accurate colour (subjective), Dolby Atmos/Vision support.

Thanks for the info!
I'll look out for the NU8000 then . Should be a step up from my old KU6000.

My humble opinion, just get the biggest tv with your budget, 55 inch should be no problem, remember to get the extra 2 or 3 years warranty, should be worth it.

Really good advice.

Have you seen the GX800 in person? Wonder what’s the refresh rate of the IPS panel that comes into Malaysia.

Been looking for it too recently but so far can’t seem to find one. If you can get a new one with a good price, go for it!

Thanks all for the advice. After scouring high and low for the NU8000 I finally managed to find a 55" one for RM2899, discounted from RM2999. Found it advertised by a personal seller on FB of all places (not a single trace of 55NU8000 on any online e-commerce sites ), but turns out the unit is sold by HLK and is brand new stock. I added the +3 years warranty (by insurance) bringing the total to RM3149.

If anyone interested PM me and I'll give the contact, however their remaining units may be new stock or may be demo unit depending on availability in their branches. Apparently I got the last new stock in Taipan.
