tumpang thread since it's somewhat relevant hehe.

I'm thinking of buying SONY KD-49X7000F 49" for the following reasons:
- one of the cheapest 4K TV
- have 3x HDMI (1 for HyppTV, 1 for Chromecast, 1 extra)
- X-Reality PRO (macam yes from demo unit)

Just gonna use this TV for normal HyppTV watching, 4K movies/Netflix, and gaming (Nintendo Switch + PS4). I'm ok with this not being an AndroidTV since I can buy Chromecast and make it a smart TV haha.

So far I've found the cheapest on Lazada, RM2258:

Or buy with Senheng (RM150 voucher) via 11street for RM2249:

Dear sifu and experts sekalian, wat's your verdict and opinion on this SONY X70F? Worth to buy ma? My budget is below RM2.5K for 4K TV smile.gif

Don't buy a TV because it is cheap , unless you don't care about it and just want a screen to watch .
It is important you at least have an expectation what you are buying.
I think X7000F is a pretty neat basic 4K TV .  And as usual with Sony TVs , you get great motion handling and picture processing  , great input lag.
Not having an Android OS is a plus for Sony TVs , their input lag is usually a little on the high side compare with other brands .

Just know that this is an IPS TV , so you know why you are getting it.

Hi bro, thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I don't have a lot budget for TV already, recently just bought a Nintendo Switch haha. Just looking for an entry & basic 4K TV that can watch HD movies, stream Netflix, and play Nintendo Switch then ok liao.

I'm currently still using the ancient Samsung CRT TV sweat.gif

That being said, since I'll be using this TV in my living room, IPS seems like the recommended choice? However, I do off my lights when I watch movies... is the grey-ish black really that obvious?

avoid sony KD55X7000E. me bought early July 2018, screen already kong last week. call SC next saturday will come to check.
me use sony KDL40W65D still good after 3 year.
sister use KDL55W65D after 2 year still good.
just personnel view avoid x7000e series with LCD 55 and above.

But I am unsure now , best if you give them a call to confirm
Yea IPS tv usually have terrible black levels , in dark room .

So just put on some lights , the ambient lights mask the grayish black really well  , that's why its hard to tell the TV aparts in those showroom and shop displays .

Judging from your usage , the XF70 (x7000f) will serve you well

Alright, will take the leap of faith and give this XF70 a try. Hopefully the black levels won't annoy me that much as I tend to watch some horror movies where it's mostly dark background lol. Will buy from Senheng @ 11street.my, cheapest so far for RM2250.

Then maybe next few years can kumpul money buy a better 4K TV haha (or maybe future is 8K liao?) biggrin.gif

Hi all sifus, tumpang thread to ask for brand suggestion & TV size.

I'm currently looking for an Android TV with 4K HD resolution, mainly to watch;
- Netflix
- Apple TV
- 4K movies from pendrive
- Play with Nintendo Switch
- Play with PS5 (maybe, future proofing)

My sofa distance to TV (wall) is around 2.8-3.0m. What TV size & brand would you guys suggest if my budget is around RM3K?

I'm thinking around 55" or 60" (not sure which is better) and top of mind I just thought of Samsung and Sony. Seeing this thread, is Xiaomi a good investment?

Also, do you guys know if there's a way to connect the TV with PC wirelessly? Or can this be done via Chromecast? Totally noob at this - would appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Was thinking about this 2 but the minimum for ps5 requirement I check need to be 120hz for futureproofing will be the
Sony X85J entry level which has VRR downloadable, price at RM3K+.

Any other recommendation from other Sifus?

Where you found RM3K+? I see Shopee for X85J its RM4.1K haha
