Hi All,

Bought Sharp 4TC60AL1X, after reading n infleunced by AVFAN... haha

It was first installed at living room, changing from 40" Toshiba to Sharp 60", sitting 9feet away. Parent complaint too big, so move it to my own room, bed is 8feet away, macam watching mini cinema.

Was surveying 4K TV (non QLED/OLED) some time. Been using Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba and Sharp for different location. LG came along due to price n reviewsss.
If u noticed, most review mentioned abt LG, Samsung n Sony more frequent, saying similar pro/con. Then u begin to concern/worry abt: 60/120Hz native rate, VA panel, Edge/Direct, HDCP2.2, HDMI2.1, 4k upscaler, 4.4.4, wide colour gamut, eARC/ARC, DD/DTS...etc. almost vomit to read n understand alittle abt it.

Short-listed to Sony n Sharp due to its natural colour.
Sony 65X75F, 65X85F, Sharp 6800 n 60AL1X.

Went to afew BIG Electrical shop, eg: SengHeng, Senq, Hoe Huat, ESH, Oneliving...etc to compare actual TV with Astro content (non 4K content to see 4K upscaler ability).

Choosed Sharp 60AL1X, bcoz price is half of Sony 65X85F (this model has 4k upscaler, 65X75F dun), AnroidTV 8.0 smooth (so far tested pre-installed app Netflix n Youtube, with unifi 100mbps, instant, very clear)

Havent able to test it properly, will update again if possible.

Cheers,

Yeah I agree with you AndroidTV 8.0 is super smooth !

hi all,

Just realised that there is a dedicated thread for 4TC60AL1X. Ive been using this model for the past 6 months now. Below is my initial review which i posted on another sub thread .

Hi All,

Just got my 4TC60AL1X delivered yesterday.

It is mentioned LED Backlight on the Box.. Not sure if its referring to Edge / Full
On the manual, it says the manual is applicable for 4TC60AL1X & 4TC70AL1X

Spec wise :

Android os 8.0
LAN Port : 10/ 100 Mbps.
WLAN : AC 5ghz
I can use all applications and features which i was previously using on my Minix Android Box.
- Astro on the go & Viu ( orientation app installed )
- Netflix HDR & Youtube HDR Preinstalled
- Directv now, BBC I player,
- Unifi TV, Hotstar App for indian TV shows
- Sideload launcher and Orientation installed ( Thanks to this thread)
- Able to connect my Tronsmart G02 gamepad via Bluetooth to play games.
- Able to use Minix A3 Remote Air mouse and keyboard works fine.
Few questions which i need help with :

1) I noticed the tv remote has a button power devices. Can i program it to control my sony soundbar ? If yes please guide.

2)What is the recommended output method to achieve best sound quality. Currently connected my thru optic cable from TV to Soundbar. Not using any other devices.
At the moment i choose "Bitrate [SPDF]" as output.. there is also PCM and Dolby Digital in my tv
Whereas my soundbar supports dolby true HD

======================================================================
Current build is : 12700. OTT1.80130.001

Here are feedbacks based on 6 months usage.

Android OS 8.0 is super smooth and never had a app crash or reboot.
Also i dont remember facing any lag.
Here is what i have been using :

Preinstalled : Netflix, KODI , Youtube
Manually installed : Hotstar, Spotify, Direct TV Now, Voot , Aptoaide TV, YuppTV, Sony Crackle
Apps that required Air Mouse ( Not Android TV App) BBC Iplayer , Astro On the GO, Unifi Play TV, Viu
Chromecast function is working fine.

I have my movies loaded on Network Storage. So Kodi will be streaming the movies thru my LAN.

Connected via 5ghz WiFi, Router is placed on 1st floor room. Based on Speedtest, 125 Mbps speed.
Never had any buffering for streaming activity.

I have my Minix Air Mouse plugged in to the TV and using it for both keyboard and air mouse functionality.
Tronsmart G02 Gamepad is linked via Bluetooth, can be used for games and also to navigate the menu.

I have no regrets selling off my Minix u9h after purchasing this TV as I’m able to perform almost all activity which i can do on the android Box. The best part about the TV is we have dedicated Android TV app for streaming services.

SO far i dont have any complains about this TV except the following issue with Remote Control.

1) Remote Control get unpaired automatically at some occasions, You just got to pair it back again.

2) Be Extra Care full when operating your Remote Control, as some joystick combination ( which I’m not certain about) will cause the tv to enter developer / Initialisation mode. Changing anything from here will be harmful as it affects the display quality.. I experienced the same and got my unit replaced by Sharp. It is not a malfunction, just like a combination keypress from our mobile phone to enter engineering mode. Just in case you entered this mode, do not make any changes . Just force power off your TV and on it again to avoid any changes to be done by pressing the keypad on remote control.
