like it or not, all good TV's are now smart or very smart.

you can't get the best tv that is dumb.

Androidtv... if u have a good box, u may not want it.

if u have a box that can't do astrogo, unifi playtv and others and u want them, androidtv will do that.

Dolby vision is still very and new - u pay a premium for that feature.

and this thread is "4k tv under rm3k" - where can u find dolby vision for that price?!

LG 49SJ800T......with dolby vision....RM2,799.00 & RM2,797.00

49" 😞

How is this LG tv? Is this also having the rgbw panel?

Nope , it is a RGB TV


The first thing you need to decide , is between VA or IPS.

The Panasonic and Sony are IPS while the rest are VA.

For brighter and bigger room , we normally recommend people to buy an IPS .
For dimmer and bedrooms , go for VA.


At this price point , they aren't going to make a day and night difference .

The Sharp model is an Android TV which has wider color gamut but without the better motion handling features.

Panasonic TVs always have amazing out of box color accuracy because that is the principle of their brands , which is great because people don't hire calibrator for their TVs of this price range.

The Samsung model has amazing contrast as usual but it is short of a few features (like smart remote control) this year.

Sony's TV has great picture processing features and I find XF7000 to be slightly brighter than last year X7000E , which is a good deal.

i got 55 inch NU7400 for 2.8k

In fact i am having some choices in my head

LG 49SJ800T
Samsung 55NU7100
Sony 55X7000F

Yup. I understand there are size differences and also the year of release. However i am attracted with the nano cell which caugh my eyes.

Since 3 of them now having around the same price range, hence i put them together in the list.

What about Philips 55PUT6102S compare with Sony 55X7000F ?? plan to get 1 for living room before SST.. Went to 2 shops and the staff there also recommend me Philips is much better.. but i doubt about Philips TV products.

Thanx for info. Is it matter VA or IPS for a small room. Leaning toward sharp & pana rite now. Heck, I might just get the cheapest available

The Nano Cell is just LG's fancy way of telling you " Our TV can show slightly better ( wider ) viewing angles than other IPS TV in the same range .

Nano Cell TV is also suppose to feature wider color gamut than regular TV when playing HDR Content .

Something to be noted is , the SJ800T is LG's last year mid ~ high end TV, it comes with better capabilities to process HDR content which is the hot topic in town these days.

It will depend on how often you watch HDR content to justify your purchase.
If not , just grab the Sony or Samsung .

I suggest you go with Sony , Sony TVs always have the better picture processing and noise handling , regardless of their TV models .

mmmm made a right choice purchasing x7000f

Looking for a 49" TV that can do well in a (sometimes) brightly front lit environment - so something reasonably bright. Size has to be 49" as it's the largest that'll fit against the pillar it's mounted on without sticking out too much. Price is secondary; all options are RM3k or less.

Shortlist:
Sony 49X8000E (brightness is good on paper but picture never really stood out to me)
Sharp LC50UA6800X (is this brighter than the Sony? Not sure)
LG SJ800T (great perceived image quality, but may not be bright enough)
LG 49SK8000PTA (is 2018's model an improvement over the SJ800?)

Leaving out Samsung NU7100/7400 as subjectively they appear inferior to other options when comparing in store.

Can share where u got this price bro?

Hi bro, it was posted by some user as @good_juju. I also want to know but no reply. I think people should have courtesy to reply but can't force anyone :-). So I don't know where to get the price of RM2.8k for 55 NU7400

However I checked y'day that TBM outlet on Jln Klang Lama is offering it at RM 2999.

Guys, plan to get new TV for my living room. Any recommendations?

Sony 55X7000F - IPS panel, RM3.1k, 4k upscale? Senq price
LG 55UK6300 - RGB panel? RM2.9k, 4k upscale? Merdeka deal (free Sound bar SK1 + magic remote)
Sharp LC60UA6500X - IPS panel, RM3k Merdeka deal, 4k upscale
