C845 will be come around this coming June under Lazada pre-order. Size available is 65" and 75"

TCL Electronics Malaysia replied me on May 09, 2023

Until we see them physically available by next month. So far C845 was told only will be available in size 65" and 75" in Malaysia.

Inside info

Pre-order of C845 probably will be delay until end July due to slow in progress for the local certification.

65C845 price around RM 6,000
75C845 price around RM 8,699

Definitely well below your dream price of RM 10,000 and much much below than the Australia SRP.

Let get our fingers crossed and waiting the best moment to come.

I think QNED91 PQ far below the C845.

I can only think of Sammy QN95B to match the PQ. Sammy too pricy and no Dolby Vision is no no.....

Hisense U8H is also in my shopping cart. Unfortunately, they are no news of them of bringing this model into Malaysia.

True. I am coming from LG OLED C8 platform and get so accustomed to the Magic remote, hopefully the TCL remote won't let me down too much. If I will have to upgrade to another LG OLED of 77" size, it will cost me around RM21K which will be too much for me to invest as I am expecting the TV lifespan is around 5 years.

Mine C8 power on time reaching around 12,000 hours. So far came across with USB port problem during first year of used. LG service technicians first accidentally replaced my tv logic board with the alpha version (demo) to resolved the issue but not realized there was no tv tuner function. Out of no choice, I had to personally dropped into their service center in PJ to demand their service manager for new logic board and issue resolved (1 month of frustration). Other than that incident, I am having the best experience of OLED picture quality every minutes of 4K content together with my home theater 5.2.4.1(extra channel for voice of god) dolby atmos setup.

Apparently TCL is not able to get their C845 SIRIM's approval (as of yesterday) in time for July released. Their next target date is now push to end August. Crack joke with them as if the delay in the SIRIM approval could probably be due to SIRIM staffs like the sample 75C845 too much that they decided to hold it longer before release it back to TCL. I am sure TCL Malaysia is eagerly to unleash their flagship C845 into Malaysia market once they had the SIRIM's approval anytime sooner. I see no reason why they would like to purposely delay introducing the C845 into our market since C845 have so many positive reviews all over EU/Asia/Australia market after released.

In the other hand, Hisense is not doing anything to get their flagship tv into Malaysia consumer market as of today. I am still waiting to see if Hisense has any plan to bring in even their last 1 - 2 years model especially their U8H series here. Hello Hisense where are you??

For those who likes bigger size tv above 75", TCL plan's for the consumer is

85C645 - Probably same time with the release with C845
98C755 - 2023 Q4

TCL 75C845 SRP RM 8699

I don't think so who is willing to throw a good discount price for new launch product in Malaysia. At lease not in Malaysia.

Even RM 8699 in case of 75C845, I think it is good price for those who appreciate the premium TV of such performance. You need to pay more than double (i.e. Sammy QN95C yet without Dolby Vision + IMAX Enhanced features) if you want the similar performance or higher spec tv to compete with C845.

75QN95C ? What is the best price so far?

BTW, do you think Hisense 85U7K worth considering as it is on pre-order now from 05/08 to 20/08?

If my info is correct, no need to wait till year end. Look up for super brand day on 28/09, 75C845 will be available for pre-order @ RM 9,999 (previously quoted RM 8,699) with RM 500 worth of Gift throw in that that day.

In view of the latest development of the event, C845 no longer appear to be attractive any more for me. If Hisense U7K perform close to their previous flagship model U8H, probably worth consideration.
