Thanks AVFAN for the reply. Well I'm planning to get an Android tv but I had few questions and appreciate if any of you sifus could help.
1. For what I read the booting time for ATV is way too long within 40 - 60 secs. Is there a way to speed it up.. like bypassing the Android logo?
2. What are the default sources the TV would run after boot up. Is it ATV, HDMI 1, 2 or 3?. Or it can be set?. Bcoz I prefer Astro Ultra Box to be as default.
3. Which would you choose between these 2?
Panasonic 55GX650K https://www.panasonic.com/my/consumer/home-...h-55gx650k.html- Nice borderless design and very light (10kg). 2 ways bluetooth in and out. But no mirroring features and lack of reviews.
Sony 55X8000G https://www.sony.com.my/electronics/televis...g-x8077g-series- Better picture with WCG panel. Bigger ROM 16GB, 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports but a bit bulky 17kg with an old-fashioned design.
Thank you in advance.
1. i have not used any ATV other than my 2 sharps. so, cannot be sure if the start up/booting is same.
my tv's, i never unplug power, always on standby... when i start up, it returns to where it was last used, e.g. hyppbox.
if the hyppbox is already on, it takes no more than 2 secs to be ready.
sure, if u unplug power everytime after use and have to power up each time, it can take up to 60secs.
no, u cannot bypass the ATV as it is an integral part of the tv opsys.
2. upon start up, it goes to last source used. if this source is off, u press a button to return to the homepage - the ATV UI.
from there, u can select netflix, youtube, or any other app u installed.
OR, u change source, say HDMI1 or 2 or 3... whatever u have connected.
3. i have very little idea about pana. the sony, i think it is very similar to the sharp.
from the specs, i cannot tell what audio the pana can handle; the sony can do dd/dd+/dts which is pretty good.
if u wish to compare to yet another ATV tv, check:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4778611/+240https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4488602/+2260when buying new TV, keep in mind TV makers focus on displays, not player, streaming, connectivity or even audio.
those are additional features to make a more wholesome product.
so, the primary consideration is the PQ.
there is a chance u find the ATV apps, online stream or local playback not giving the best PQ.
that being the case, one way is to get a better box, e.g. full 4kHDR videos with HD audio.
