Hi,

Which 65" 4K HDR TV is better for 4k console gaming and watching sports;

Sony X7000F or Samsung NU-7100?

X7000F.

Or pay a bit more for the NU7400 which can produce better HDR colors .

Bro, my budget only around RM4K. NU7400 is out of my reach.

Anyways thanks for your advise.

I actually don't understand what's up with pricing of nu7400 , the 55"  is barely 3.2 k but the 65 " is almost double of it .
Especially when the model belongs to one of the basic 4k TV family .
The NU7400 has more smart TV features , such as the smart remote with voice control , cable management , the support of 5ghz WIFI , blue tooth etc etc .
It is also capable of producing HDR colors a bit better than the NU7100 .

Normally I wouldn't suggest paying so much more over the NU7100 , but since you are primarily playing games , the HDR performance should be within your consideration.
Regardless , if you end up paying 5-6k for a 65" TV , might as well get the 65" of NU8000 which is vastly more superior than all of TVs mentioned above.

The 55 inches of NU8000 can also be found at around ~ 4k , possibly lower with all the discount sales on the upcoming 11/11.
It also has a native 100/120hz refresh rate , which will provide a more pleasant experience for watching 24p movies .
NU8000 is superior than any of models mentioned above , especially if we are talking about the performance of HDR.
It is still probably the best mid-range TV you can buy in MY since Sony refuses to release 55/65 inches of X9000F here.

Do take note that the NU8000 is of VA panels ( which has narrow viewing angles ) , thus the best picture quality is only reserved for the seats directly in front of the TV .

Localized pricing isn't exactly new , just like Sony TVs are so much cheaper in China compare to the other region . There are many factors behind it . AFAIK , the SG TV shares many similarities with the MY sets .
First of all , at this price range , one TV isn't definitely better than another. I am simply suggesting a TV that is better suited for your viewing habits .

The primary difference of the two is still the characteristic of VA and IPS screens.
The X7000F is also a bit brighter than NU7100 . My problem with Samsung NU7100 is , their CE dimming always dim the small highlights of the picture which may cause HDR experience to lose some of their impacts . I also find the Sony TV comes packing with better gray uniformity , which is better for watching sports .

Really appreciate the time and effort of bro Convael in giving advise to me.

Looking forward to get the Sony set in the coming 11.11 Sales!

BTW, 65X700F is come with 4 HDMI ports?

It does has 4 HDMI ports , but only 2 of them supports full bandwidth (port 2 & 3 ) which is required for 4K HDR signals from game consoles or media players .
The poor black levels and black uniformity is a result of employing IPS Panel as their TV screen .  You basically have to sacrifice the contrast ratio for wider viewing angles .
But keep in mind that  IPS and VA screens don't look very different in a bright room . The ambient lights from our environment is great at masking the true black levels of the TV .

Which is also why it is very difficult to tell the Picture Quality of TV from the electronic shops , because they are mostly displayed in a bright room.

But in a dim / dark room , poor black levels will be instantly noticeable . If you are watching movies on VA , the letterbox bars from the movies are going to appear inky black without distracting you from the immersion. While the black on IPS TV will appear gray-ish and cloudy at times .

If your room is decently lit , go for the Sony . Otherwise just get the Samsung TV .
The NU8000 is the best choice at this price range for HDR gaming .
The Sony is the next best option if you watch a lot of low resolution content on the TV .

I am not very fond of LG 's mid-range TV , some of them are decent but it just doesn't offer the best bang for your buck.

VA .

You can tell the narrow viewing angles easily by moving away from the center of the TV , the colors and brightness will start to look more washed out .

Thanks bro!

Bro Canveal, why some said KD65X7000F only have 3 HDMI input?

I checked in Sony Malaysia website, they stated only 3 HDMI input while some reseller like Astro GO Shop listed 4 HDMI input.

My mistake ,  I thought you were asking about X7500F .

And you are right , the XF70 (X7000F ) only has 3 HDMI inputs indeed .

All of the big brand's 2018 basic 4K TVs , from Panasonic's FX600 , LG's UK6100 & 6300 , Samsung's NU7100 , NU7400 , Sony's X7000F are all limited to 3 HDMI ports.
I wouldn't say better , but more suitable for your usage perhaps  .

Or spend a little more for X7500F , it has 4 hdmi ports . It is more or less the same as X7000F.

X7500F is out of my budget.

May I know by using hdmi splitter, is there any performance degrade issue compared with a direct port?

From Shopee. Seller is Desa Home. Comes with 2+3 years warranty, wall bracket and HDMI cables. Free shipping too. And discount vouchers to use on the spot (+ cashback from Shopback when you buy via Shopee app 🤩). Best deal I've seen so far for the X7500F.

Are you sure is x7500f?
I believe is x7000f as most are selling at this price range.
x7500f are selling around rm4500-rm5200.

Yes, I think it's quite a deal too. After the discount vouchers and shopback credit, I paid RM3,935 for the X7500F.
You know, if they haven't shipped your order out, you can always cancel your lazada order (and get refunded within 2 weeks). And get the one on Shopee. Last I checked, there's still 9 units available.  brows.gif

Nevermind, I will settle with x7000f as viewing of tv is always at the front. Furthermore android tv is not required by me.
