so far for the 3 years did you found any apps not compatible with your TV? Did your TV required android upgrade like mobile phone?

There are apps that will be rejected by the security of the androidtv system.
Such apps are usually highly suspect, maybe infected, meaning the security works.
The common popular ones are fine.

There are constant minor upgrades done ota or over the air, u dun even notice it.
Major ones, say android5 to android6 or android6 to android7, u will be prompted, need to activate manually.
And that is rare, only once in 3 years, unlikely to happen again.

A last word for u... if u do not know android apps much or hv little interest, androidtv will be of little use to u.
If u r big user, it is as good as any rm500 android box u buy separately.
Minor users use it to watch youtube 4k or bloomberg news.
Major users can watch hd videos with kodi, watch world cup matches live in 1080p - foc, using androidtv.

android apps is a major topic on its own, will not discuss much here.

but will just say that simple kodi addons and terrarium won't get u the best stuff alto they are acceptable to many.
there are better apps and methods for high quality HD streams - if u hv the right device, speed and put in the effort.

X7000e : the most basic UHD TV entry from Sony last year , second cheapest among your list , NO WCG , No Local dimming , Good motion handling , can play 24p content, great sport programs support , doesn't support WIFI 5G , the 55 inches version is a VA panel which I would recommend if you can find one cheaper .

x8000e : There have been quite some ppl singing praises about this particular model in Lowyat ( I don't get it ) to the point comparing it with OLED ( Joke of the decade )
One of them attacked me with a death threat before . It's scary when people paid a large sum of money for something mediocre yet want to feel justified for the high expenses.
Back to the TV , this is actually a decent TV , just not for its price . It used to be much more expensive.  Despite being a middle level TV, the brightness of model is very meh , not to mention it has no local dimming which hampered its ability to display any decent HDR , below average contrast level even when comparing with the IPS standards . It has WCG , meh motion handling ( worse than X7000E in fact) , slightly better upscaling processor (like all Sony TVs ). Input lag is a little on the high side as well . If you can find it below 3k it isn't a bad choice , I guess
Samsung : Their lower end TV has been getting worse by each year , from the all amazing KU series to the not so impressive MU series , this year's NU series is a hit or miss

MU6100 : The best all around-TV for its value . The mu 6 series have very amazing contrast level , despite having no local dimming of any sorts .  No WCG , No local dimming ( using Samsung's CE dimming ) , great BFI support

Nu7400 : Suppose to be the successor to mu 6 series with wide color gamut support , it also has steam link if you use steam . I have seen this TV from the store  , it looks to be identical with 6300 with similar brightness ( which is decent )
LG : LG's Mid ~ lower end models love to use RGBW panel , buy at your own risk

UJ630 T =  The cheapest TV among the bunch .  This TV uses RGBW panel , which really hurts its color volume especially when showing Brighter NON-white colors  ,  if you decide to use your TV as monitor one day , colorful fonts are going to look weird.  If you can look past this , it isn't very much different than the Sony x7000e .

SJ800T = The supreme UHD LED TV from LG , of IPS panel . This is probably the best TV among your list , it has all the features required to display HDR  . While it still can't really compete with higher End models, this is the most comprehensive IPS TV you can buy @ around 3k
All the models you mentioned have very good input latency for gaming except the x8000e . Sorry Sony , I still love you very much , just not your low - mid range TVs
As for screen size , Amazon recommends the distance from your 4K TV to be around 1.5x  the size of TV screen  . EG : for a 55 inches TV , the distance between you and your TV should be @ 55 inches - 75 inches .  Although the whole point of getting UHD TV is , you can sit closer to the screen to witness the awesomeness of all the 4K pixels

SJ800T uses RGBW?

If you sit too far from the screen , then the upgrade to UHD TV isn't going to worth it

However , everyone has a preference  . If you like what you are seeing , no one has the rights to say you're wrong.

It is an acceptable range , you will see the improvement for 4k content but the upgrade is not very significant compare with 65 inches or larger screens.

By the standards of SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers) , they suggest the TV screen filling up 30% of your vision for normal people , 40% for Cinema enthusiast for more immersion .


65 inches = 8.9' (2.69 m) for 30% ; 6.5' (1.98 m) for 40%

55 inches = 7.5' (2.28 m) for 30 % ; 5.5' (1.68 m) for 40%


So yea , feel free make the adjustment by yourself . Take note everyone has a different endurance , some people may experience motion sickness sitting too close to the TV , so take these as a guideline , but not absolute rules .
