Rm3300 then get sony or LG..
Nu7100 i do not suggest.. outdated already.. hahaha
What i can suggest is...
Pick SONY LG SAMSUNG in ur budget..
Compare the specs, apps, hardwares, audio then decide..
I dont know why samsung still bloating useless apps same like mobile..

I first 70% set mind on nu7100.. then compared with just samsung.. NU7100 with NU7400 & NU8000...
Then bought 55 inch NU8000 bcoz of good price..rm3800..
But too bad i never compared with SONY or LG..
I see latest model RU8000 some features taken compared NU8000...

Spend a little more for the upgrade on NU7400 instead. Should still fit within your budget.

It is one of the very rare , entry level TV in MY which is verified to have support of wider color space of DCI-P3. Up to 94% IIRC .

Going to buy LG 55UK7500..
Any suggestion or alternative?

Got the UA55NU7400 as you said for RM2.7k

Was actually surprised that I was able to get it at that price! Tried my luck asking at the place I bought at and the sales person said they don't have any on display but can order. Once he mentioned the price, I straight away bought

As per your suggestion, did my research and found that the best is NU8000, but way too far out of my budget for now. Settled for NU7400 at RM2.7K. Remaineder of budget will now go to getting a good sound bar

Slightly older model is still not much different. Maybe not noticeable.

The good thing about older model is that the warranty is still 2 years and if anything malfunctioned, not spare part. Then you get full refund .....

recently in Lazada, there are a lot of 50"+ 4k Smart TV from Sharp, LG all under 3k.

not sure what is the catch

No catch. It's a general trend. Last time we paid the same amount for a big bulk cathode ray television. Then now 50 in + 4k and then in future, 55 inch+4k will take over from the 50 inch.

Hi guys, is there huge spec differences between the LG UK62 vs LG UK65? Only major diff is the Direct lit vs edge lit? Thinking of getting the LG UK62 (60') for about RM 2.4k from Lazada. My viewing distance from sofa is about 8-9 feet.

Thanks in advance!

That's too bad. I bet it can sell a lot here for that price.

There is no major difference between direct lit and edge lit , they are just the method TV used to light up the screen .
If done properly , neither will cause you any problems . It should never be a factor to consider when buying TV.


If it doesn't matter why are people keep talking about it ?
Because people on internet spit bullcrap all the time . Just like some TV fanatics around these corners who keep spreading wrong information.
I don't have time nor intention to correct them , let alone to reply to them . Let them remain the laughing stocks they are , after all you can't wake up someone who is not sleeping .


Back to the topic , the only time when direct lit / edge lit becomes important is when the TV has a Local Dimming system.

In general , the direct-lit Local Dimming ( also known as Full Array Local Dimming ) is far better because they can control the LED backlight of TV via separate zones .
These TV can project a much better dark room performance and contrast compare to the edge-lit counterparts.


So to reiterate what I just said , if you're planning to get a TV with no local dimming system , direct lit or edge lit should not be a deal breaker.
I hope that clear up some of your confusion .


TBF , I know next to nothing on the UK6200.
It is pretty much the only LG TV model that has completely slipped off my radar from last year .
I do know it is a variant of UK6100/UK6300 but not a RGBW TV.

Appreciate your in depth explanation.

Yeah you are right about the direct lit or edge lit making no difference if there is no local dimming system... This has cleared my confusion.. FALD TV are much pricier than the standard ones so will stay away from it for now. Hahah... Walked to Harvey Norman just to check the TV. They had the SAMSUNG NU8000 (55 inches) on display clearance for RM3300. 😏😏

which HN?

Not bad, not bad at all, NU8000 for RM3300. Does it look new ? Any idea of the usage hours ?

HN Gurney Paragon (Penang). But I think other HN branches should also offer the same price for their display clearance TV's.

Yeah it does look new from my view with the plastic cover still in place around the TV borders however no idea on the usage hours though.

Got a sharp 60" 6800x for RM2850.00. comes with RM350.00 petronas gift card (redeem) and RM250.00 shop vouchers, and delivery and installation including mounting the tv on the wall. Pretty good bargain.

Online purchase or physical store bro?

Exactly, was thinking of that too. But this may be an as of now TV that I plan to relocate to bedroom later on and buy a new one sometime next year. Already spent most of my budget for house renovation

More saving if buying display unit. Once new models come out the display unit will be on very good sales. I bought one SuperUHD (higher end UHD) at 2k discount. Just 1 month short of warranty expiry, unit got faulty. Full refund and got new TV at new introduction discount. So, got new TV at no cost.

Usually the new model has more feature and improved picture quality at lower price compare to older generation.
