Looking for a 49" TV that can do well in a (sometimes) brightly front lit environment - so something reasonably bright. Size has to be 49" as it's the largest that'll fit against the pillar it's mounted on without sticking out too much. Price is secondary; all options are RM3k or less.

Shortlist:
Sony 49X8000E (brightness is good on paper but picture never really stood out to me)
Sharp LC50UA6800X (is this brighter than the Sony? Not sure)
LG SJ800T (great perceived image quality, but may not be bright enough)
LG 49SK8000PTA (is 2018's model an improvement over the SJ800?)

Leaving out Samsung NU7100/7400 as subjectively they appear inferior to other options when comparing in store.

Went yesterday to the SS2 outlet thinking to grab one of the last few 55NU8000 @ 2,8k but decided to go for the Q7FN instead. They also had 55Q6FN for RM200 over the NU8000.

Paid 3,7k for a new unit, not sure if it was the last one. There were a couple 55Q8C's (didn't enquire price as was not keen on the curve) and a new 65E8 for 8,8k on the floor as well.
