i just bought basic 32" TCL for my homestay with DVBT2 tuner for RM495 incl shipping, after reading positive reviews. that's the cheapest i found with that spec. the next up is 600++.
& i am impressed with the color & sound quality. even better than my 32" basic samsung (4 yrs old though). not bad at all. now hoping that it will last long
I think 32" TCL is not in the radar of most people these days. And from your analysis it is about RM100 difference. Which isn't much to make it worth the risk of trying a brand which has no office in Malaysia.
TCL’s new top-of-the-line TV is the 8-Series, which comes in two 4K sizes: The $1,999 65-inch 65Q825, and the $2,999 75-inch 75Q825. They’ll both go on sale later this fall. With a “bezel-less” design that has a tiny frame width on three sides, the 8-Series supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. It also uses QLED technology — not the first TCL TV to do so, but it is the first QLED TCL model to be sold in North America.
Does anyone has any idea on how to get 65r625 or 65q825 here in malaysia ?
No hope.
Hisense also releases better mid end machines such as H9F in US and also not coming to this part of the world. Even H9F is not sold in UK.
I suspect these machines are made with limited volume capacity. TCL and Hisense probably see other parts of the world ( such as Malaysia ) have no volume to make it profitable.
