Last one I got was free one 48" Samsung LED Smart TV off an office family day lucky draw. So I did not buy that one. That was the TV that went kaput. My actual plan is getting a TV for now. When current situation betters itself, is to get a better TV for the hall and stick the one I'm buying now in my room.

I was leaning on the N3000 because reading the reviews apparently it has HDR and is also a smart TV. Was initially just planning to get the Haier as that was even cheaper.

On what I use the TV for. I currently have Astro, PS4(not Pro) and my PC connected via the HDMI ports on my TV.

For what u use and plan to get yet another one, i see no need to spend too much.

If u spend too much, get great tv but dun use the key features... wasted.

Better get an inexpensive one now, save a bit for the next n better.

Just walk the shops, see how astro comes out, u have an idea.

About "smart tv"... there r many types, diff brands use diff platforms, quite diff.

Best to know what which smart thing can do what n if u will use it... if not, wasted again...

The KS series from 2016 are indeed spectacular TVs , it is just pathetic Samsung keep removing the features from current line up & put them on separate models to sell for higher price  .
NU8500 is basically the curved version of NU8000 .

I don't think they are comparable with the KS series  because NU8500 / NU8000 isn't a Quantum Dots TV.
If we have to compare , the KS7500 should go head to head with Q7FN , in which the Q7FN is an upgrade in almost everything especially the brightness .

55' of NU8000 is retailing @ RM4199, 65 inches @ RM6299 , that is still quite a bit cheaper than the now 2 years old KS7500 .
The KS series are definitely a looker especially when it comes to HDR performance. They can reach very high peak brightness in small windows , which ensure those shiny small highlights to glitter in dark HDR scenes. While the NU8000 can't reach the same peak brightness but it is overall , a brighter TV  .

The one small problem with the KS series is , they can't sustain the same level of brightness they used to display specular highlights . It is mostly a glimpse into the spark and the brightness quickly fall flat on screen . NU8000 and newer QLEDs can maintain the same brightness level for a long time. This is especially noticeable in prolong HDR scenes with bright objects like the torches , the sun ,  the moon , the stars etc etc .
I've mentioned before Samsung is dropping the ball for their entry~mid range models every year . KS series is a lot more impressive than the 2017's MU series . The 2018 's entry level models of the NU series are disappointing as well.

Where to get that NU8000 at rm4,199?
Checked Senheng it show rm4,799 but good thing is longer instalments

tumpang thread pls.. for basic 5" 4k tv.. wanted to get 1 before SST shoot in. So probably will buy 1 at merdeka sales. Now want to choose between these 3 models. prior criteria is picture quality. which 1 is the best or better among these 3 models ya??

Sony 55X7000F
Samsung 55NU7100
LG 55UK6300PTE

On Smart TV, I would say the main intention is to maybe use Netflix and Youtube. That was what put me off the Haier, as it has not smart TV features.
On the usage I mentioned, does these ones looks like it will suffice to you. Am planning to get s PS4 Pro at some point too.

Same model, different sizes.
Or are they different ones more advisable to go for?

avoid sony KD55X7000E. me bought early July 2018, screen already kong last week. call SC next saturday will come to check.
me use sony KDL40W65D still good after 3 year.
sister use KDL55W65D after 2 year still good.
just personnel view avoid x7000e series with LCD 55 and above.

yes, same model, diff size.

typically, bigger size ones have 1 more hdmi input, so u gotta decide if 3 is enough or u need 4.
usb... all hv 2.
component input yes, but no rs232 (outdated)
runs on own vidaa smart platform.
(note hisense is also an oem - sell other tv's under hisense brand in some countries... do not confuse the reviews or comments about these ones.)

i have no experience with hisense but i read fair reviews and comments on this model for its price.

frankly, u gotta visit the shops and see them physically.
check where in inputs are located, the stand, audio, the dimensions, etc.
if all satisfied, can buy online.

This one has pictures of the input. Generally, I would prefer if the inputs are on the right, but I guess I'll make do. Maybe buy a longer HDMI cable or something. Looks like I'm going to take the plunge with this TV. Just a question of which size now. Hahaha.

m5010 looks good, support local dimming at this price

Easy math isn't it ?

Remove the RGBW (LG ) then you are left with a Sony IPS & Samsung VA .
Which one to go will depend on your room condition and seat position .

Don't buy a TV because it is cheap , unless you don't care about it and just want a screen to watch .
It is important you at least have an expectation what you are buying.
I think X7000F is a pretty neat basic 4K TV .  And as usual with Sony TVs , you get great motion handling and picture processing  , great input lag.
Not having an Android OS is a plus for Sony TVs , their input lag is usually a little on the high side compare with other brands .

Just know that this is an IPS TV , so you know why you are getting it.

Banhuat offer instalments?

Hi bro, thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I don't have a lot budget for TV already, recently just bought a Nintendo Switch haha. Just looking for an entry & basic 4K TV that can watch HD movies, stream Netflix, and play Nintendo Switch then ok liao.

I'm currently still using the ancient Samsung CRT TV 

That being said, since I'll be using this TV in my living room, IPS seems like the recommended choice? However, I do off my lights when I watch movies... is the grey-ish black really that obvious?
Hey bro, me planning to buy SONY KD-49X7000F, although your screen kong there's warranty for it right?
