I believe the Philips model isn't a HDR TV .

Philips doesn't care about their 4k TV market in Malaysia very much , that's why their TVs are often excluded from recommendation  . Especially when this particular model is from last year , I don't know if they ever plan to bring their 2018 models to MY especially when they put most of their TV priority in the Europe market .
4k HDR-TVs in this price range show very little difference than SDR but it is nice to still have that option .
Only the #2 , #3 , #4 from your list are tagged as a 4K HDR TV .
The Sharp is VA TV but it doesn't has any M.I or BFI features , which means it isn't very ideal for watching movies since you will have no way to smooth out the judders from 24p movies on a 60 hz TV . However . not everyone will notice the judders .

The LG model is one of the brand's infamous RGBW TV , which you should avoid buying despite being a little bit cheaper .

Overall , the Sony model has the most complete set of features among the 4 at a slightly higher price tag.
Beside that ,  the first thing to decide when you are buying TVs is to determine your room condition , go with IPS for brighter & larger room , VA if your room is dark / dimmer .

I just Desa Home to see these display set and compare each other. LG is out, the quality really bad if u can compare with other.

I comparing Philip and Sony now. The motion rate/processing in Philip is better, but picture quality is Sony(I think bcos of HDR). The price also Rm50 different only(Sony rm1899,philip rm1950).

Feel headache now which one to choose ...

I really doubt that , unless the shop owner lets you calibrate both of the TV for a side by side comparison . Beside that , any difference you see might as well be the result of different TV settings . TV shops are usually well-lit , which makes it really difficult to judge on picture quality as well.

That's why all these IPS TV look really incredible good in shop .

So in conclusion , despite of what most people telling you go to the shop , trust your eyes , blah blah blah ....  what we can actually see in the shop is very limited . It is crucial to keep your expectation in check , have the basic knowledge so you don't swayed by the salesman and end up buying an entirely different TV when it is sent to you home .

You are looking for a living room TV , so getting an IPS TV seems more ideal .
In your case ,  only the LG & Sony models are of IPS screen ,  since you have already eliminated the LG out of the two it is only logical to get the Sony one.
***I am 95% sure the Philips model of this size has a VA panel but I can still be wrong
As a ex - plasma owner , I find it really hard to adapt to the LED-LCD TV .
Most modern LED-LCDs simply can't compete with the black levels , the viewing angles and the motion clarity of Plasma .
That's why long after the death of Plasmas , some AV enthusiast are still holding onto their trustworthy Kuro  :thumbsup: 
Theoretically , only the OLEDs can provide meaningful upgrades to your previous plasma but it is far more expensive than your budget allows and not available in the smaller size (<55")
On the bright side ( literally ) , modern TVs are far brighter than Plasmas and provide massive resolution upgrade to 4k and upcoming 8k , along with HDR & accessibility with most of the basic 4k streaming platforms such as Youtube , Amazon prime videos, Netflix . The HDR is also the hot topic in town so you should spend some times reading onto that  .

Start by learning the pro & cons from LED-LCD types ( VA vs IPS )  and learn how practical these advantages can apply to your room.
For eg ,  if you are buying a fairly large TV for smaller personal room , the wider viewing angles will be very  useful to you.

Then look for the prices of the models and see which brands can suit your personal need best.

The shop promoter move the tv and let me compare side by side...he open YouTube and Astro, but not use demo video for me to compare. I am not sure what setting in TV, but i can come out my result from what I see at there. The service really good in this shop , haha
