For all sifu,

Im looking below TVs and having difficulty to make decision, can some one help me?
I have a tv box, which can watch drama, sport, movie and youtube. Besides, my tv will install at condo style living room, so not watch from wide angle.

Sony:
49X7000F (heard people said, youtube is only for 2 years, after 2 years cant use anymore?)
49X7500F (I have tv box, so dont need android apps, but is this model better?)
aside of apps, i dont know what is the different between this 2.

LG:
49UK6300PTE - cheaper and below 2k, but i think this is IPS (Which i dont need)
50UK6500 - VA and just added 1 more inch compare to above, but price is far different

Samsung
49 NU7100 - Basically, saw post from online, they said quality not that good, having issue after few years.
50NU7400 - not really know about this.

For VA and IPS, i think will go for VA, what you guys thought? Please help.

XF70 = I doubt that is the case since this is a 2018 Sony entry level 4k TV . It may be possible at some point the app itself will stop running on a specific OS version but this can happen to all TVs eventually .  However the model you're talking about are of the 2018 TVs , it is unlikely they have gone unsupported within a year.

XF75 = More or less the same as XF70 but you are paying more for the Android OS , 5Ghz WIFI support.

LG UK6300 = LG 's cheapest 4K TV which utilize the RGBW panel .

UK6500 = LG 's mid range TV , its a bit better for watching HDR than UK6300 .

NU7100 : Samsung's most basic 4K TV in 2018 . Again , I don't think the claims are very credible because this is Samsung's 2018 model , so the " having issue after a few years " can't be true since we are still in 2018.

NU7400 : Like NU7100 , but with more features such as cable management , WIFI 5Ghz supports , blue tooth , etc etc . Also supports a Wider Color Gamut which means the HDR performance is a little bit better.
There are a lot of discussion and ranting about TV durability in general  . Most people only complain about their TV when it broke down , people who have never encounter any problems are usually quiet.
Therefore , the number of complaint about a specific TV brand is usually not a direct indication of the TV durability and manufacturing quality control.

For eg , a lot more people QQ about Samsung TV . That is only because Samsung sold the most TVs ( not in the premium market ) . Someone bought a Samsung TV today and it went haywire tomorrow, obviously he is going to make a scene in the forum .  Then we have the other guy who bought the same model and have lasted 7 years without problem but never say a word .

My verdict is simple , If I got a defected unit from one of these major brands , I will look at how efficient and how quickly they can hold up to their promise , to replace or to repair the TV . As long as they are willing to fulfill their promise , they are a good brand.  It is unreasonable to expect every TV unit to last 10 years because one guy said his TV did .
If you don't need the wide viewing angles , go for the Samsung . If you want to get a TV to watch with a group of friends and family , get the IPS from Sony or LG . If you prefer more apps selection , get the Sony Android OS TV but keep in mind not everyone like the counter intuitive and sluggish UI .
One is IPS and the other one is VA .
The Sharp is better for HDR and watching movies in a dim /  dark room.
The Sony is better for watching sports and fast action movies in a decently lit , large room.

Thanks Sifu, finally i have a better understanding for all of these.
Apparently Sony are out for me, as i watch TV in a dim living room 50% of the time with just sit at the sofa infront of TV.
Samsung NU7400 will be the perfect fit for me.
Btw, as i know, those Sony models i mentioned above are with IPS panel, as well as LG 49" 6300. And LG 6500, both samsung are with VA panel, am i right?
besides, which models are sluggish UI and counter intuitive? Sony android?

Thanks so much for your explanation.
