Really appreciate the time and effort of bro Convael in giving advise to me.
Looking forward to get the Sony set in the coming 11.11 Sales!
BTW, 65X700F is come with 4 HDMI ports?
It does has 4 HDMI ports , but only 2 of them supports full bandwidth (port 2 & 3 ) which is required for 4K HDR signals from game consoles or media players .
(correction the X7000F only has 3 HDMI ports )

guys between these two which is better?
my purpose is for astro, ps4, and maybe streaming..
is sony ips black level bad? how about the samsung?
can share what are the advantages one have over the other.
thanks
The poor black levels and black uniformity is a result of employing IPS Panel as their TV screen . You basically have to sacrifice the contrast ratio for wider viewing angles .
But keep in mind that IPS and VA screens don't look very different in a bright room . The ambient lights from our environment is great at masking the true black levels of the TV .
Which is also why it is very difficult to tell the Picture Quality of TV from the electronic shops , because they are mostly displayed in a bright room.
But in a dim / dark room , poor black levels will be instantly noticeable . If you are watching movies on VA , the letterbox bars from the movies are going to appear inky black without distracting you from the immersion. While the black on IPS TV will appear gray-ish and cloudy at times .
If your room is decently lit , go for the Sony . Otherwise just get the Samsung TV .

Hi,
Need advice from all sifus here( i tumpang thread hehe). I'm looking for a 55" tv size. Usage primarily for watching astro,netflix,youtube and probably some gaming on my ps4 pro. The tv will be placed in the living room which is not too big, the lighting is neither too bright nor too dim either. I tried to keep my budget below 5k. Android TV doesnt really matter to me imo. Currently torn between a few options below:
1) Samsung NU8000
2) Sony X8500f
3) LG UK7500
The NU8000 is the best choice at this price range for HDR gaming .
The Sony is the next best option if you watch a lot of low resolution content on the TV .
I am not very fond of LG 's mid-range TV , some of them are decent but it just doesn't offer the best bang for your buck.

Nope , the USA TCL division operates on a different team than the European / Chinese one .
The specific TCL models found on Lazada are essentially the European version . All of them are edge-lit TVs , unlike their superior F.A.L.D counterparts from the USA .
These specific models aren't nearly quite as capable as what was reviewed by rting.
Sadly , as of now the choices we have within the Malaysian market is very limited unless you decide to import them which comes with a big risk.
