Guys TBM running promo on 4TC70AL1X $5499 and free 1 40” tv. Is it a good offer ?

How's the HDR performance for a1lx? Is it hdr10?

Hi guys,
A silly question here. I have placed my order for this 4TC60AL1X TV and need some clarification.
Since this TV is a modern TV, I assumed it should be equipped with a new TV set with the DTTV label approved by SIRIM hence do I still need any decoder or aerial to get MYTV or rather the free Malaysian TV channel?

Again, sorry for the silly question. Newbie here. Thanks.

Just bought 4TC60AL1X 2 days ago after my Sharp 60" full HD give up on me after only 6 years usage. i bought for RM2700+ and I know i can found cheaper (RM2500+) online however hesitate if need to claim warranty, so just settled with physical shop.
Unfortunately the TV screen have a long and deep scratch upon unboxing, so the shop will exhange a new one for me this weekend while i watch this unit 1st.

2 days usage enough for me to post a review, here you go:

1. Why i choose this Sharp model? Because it is CHEAP!!! Yet the PQ is good enough and functionality is top notch. The colour is indeed wide gamut (123% as claimed), it display some colour shade that i never seen before on my calibrated 99% sRGB monitor.

2. 'Unknown' Japan panel type used, but i suspect is at least IPS or VA. From naked eye the contrast is very good and it proofed with my Xrite i1Display Pro, got 1800:1 contrast ratio, this is in VA panel territory already!! In contrast, my QHD 165Hz IPS panel worth 3k only able to get 1000:1 ratio.

3. As usual, the default picture setup is overemphasize on contrast, vivid colour and noise reduction. The out of box image is bluish (that's why you see a vivid colour and 'crystal clear' white), not sharp in 1080p video and contrast too high (black too black, lost the mid tone and shadow details). So at 1st i change the mode to 'standard', reduce the contrast to +28 (Now you can see the details in the highlight as the result of not clipped), colour to 0, sharpness to +2, active contrast to OFF, tint at middle. I also turn OFF the digital noise reduction, this has a big impact on the crisp and sharpness, it released all the details even when i just play Astro Full HD, i can clearly see the sharp tiny hair and face details of the human when the DNR is turn OFF, you don't really need that at all!!

4. The 4k upscaler is top notch, the image even look sharper compare with my previous dot to dot 1080 playback!! But some colour noise perceived in plain background if DNR turn OFF, don't get me wrong, the noise level is minimal and unnoticeable in 99% of time.

5. Like what i said in 3), the out of box image is bluish for wow crystal clear white, but luckily the white temp can be adjusted. I hook up the Xrite i1Display Pro can calibrate the white balance. The colour temp i set to LOW (lowest setting), but the white balance still tad blue at 7600k, my target is to adjusted to 6500k. So reduce the BLUE GAIN all the way down to -25 to achieve 6500k white balance.

6. SQ wise, as sucks as my previous Sharp TV, well you can't expect a good sound from a tiny, thin and down facing speaker right? I just listen the built-in speaker for 2 minutes (torture) before i figure out how to output and bypass the internal speaker. I hook up to my external amp and speaker by using the 3.5mm to RCA cable, settle.

7. Android 8 is handy, smoothness during scroll/navigate menu can't compare to galaxy S7 edge Android 8, haha, cannot expect too much i think. Haven't download any apps yet as the TV need to be changed again. But youtube playback is good enough.

8. Film mode - This is interpolation technology same as SVP manager in PC to increase the 25/30 fps movie to higher framerate real time (to panel max refresh rate, again unknown in this model as didn't mentioned), i'm surprise to get this feature as it didn't include in the specsheet. But please expect to get some picture artifacts in some circumstance, you can turn it OFF for highest PQ.

9. This is edge lit panel, some light bleed at the bottom in full black mode with dark room ambient, not a big deal as TV is far field viewing and unnoticeable most of the time. Screen brightness and colour uniformity is good, minimal clouding observed in full grey mode, again you won't notice unless your day to day activity is to display full grey on the TV!!

Overall very happy with the purchase, CP ratio is high if not highest compare to Samsung and Sony based on PQ and feature aspect. I reserved for reliability/longevity considering my previous malfunctioned Sharp model just 6 years old with 'normal' viewing time per day.

nice... your detailed assessment will help others if they r considering.

it is not the best or greatest or most capable tv.... but it is true for its price, it is great value for general home use.

like many things, u pay a lot more for some incremental improvement or special capability; question is if u will pay or not... some might, some will surely not.

as for longevity, my own experience with several units of same brand says 6-7 years is about right; beyond that, it'll be a bonus.

Yes, it depends on what you need.

For me, per day i spent 1.5 hours in front of TV, but 3 hours in front of my PC.
Like i mentioned, my 27'' QHD IPS screen even more expensive then this 4k TV, and i add 1k+ for a colorimeter to calibrate. So whenever i need reference accurate colour, better PQ and enjoy 'me time', my PC setup is the only way I will go. TV, is for family time

Sharp 70 AH1X and AL1x fair price rebate 700
Just got the AH1X for my parents at 3999 and free 40inch TV.

AL1x going for 4599

Thanks for your review. Sony entry level 4k tv 2019 contrast is not even 1000:1

hi, can any one give opinion if purchasing an android tv or normal tv + android tv box is better?

i am looking at 4TC60AL1X, cost around 2.9k with custom kodi in it.

or i should just go for a cheaper normal tv and buy a tv box seperately?

2 considerations:

1. if u r using or plan to get a good box and use it well, it will be better to have a separate box - more flexibility, more features, more capabilities.
if u r light user, the ATV of the tv will be sufficient, more convenient.

2. typically, an ATV tv has better hardware and other features compared to a more basic cheaper one from the same brand.
u won't find a cheap but great "dumb" tv... becos tv makers put better features all round in higher range, higher priced tv's.

I'm running Astro Go 8.2.6 on my TV. Now I'm getting no network errors and Astro Go won't start. My internet is definitely connected.
Any ideas?

That is old version, won't work anymore.

Current version is 2.193.xxxx... u can google.

Does not work well for live hd channels.

Astro screwed ATV smart tvs.

ic.. thanks for the advise

Where and what fair is this? 2 years or 5 years warranty?
I assume RM4599 for 70" AL1x right ? this model comes with free 40" too?

fair was last weekend at MV
yes free 40inch regardless AL/AH1x

hmm... quite a good price. but fair oredi ended.

Hi guys, i just got my Sharp 4tc60al1x today, play with it to install some extra app, working fine.
The screen is also looks good to me, cant see the different with my another rm4xxxx lg tv.
But one thing i notice is the remote controller, not so responsive, amd not Bluetooth, hard to use.
Other than that is good.

the pairing may have been lost.

so, do check that under settings, repair.

if paired, the remote works fine, responsive.
