I'm actually considering the 55inch X90H for my room, to replace my current monitor setup.

Since XBSX will not have an optical port - I need a TV with ARC to utilize my soundbar and seems like a TV is my only solution. I'm just concerned about the distance, although I can sit away from my table (placing the TV on the table).

The recommended the viewing distance from Sony website is 1 feet (for 55 inch) - can anyone confirm this?

Oh sorry, I meant 1 meter, not 1 feet.

I just came across a seller on Lazada for 3.4k

Worth getting at this price

Sonos Beam

Ideal for small room setup

Without the Sub, don't want to disturb the next room with that bass - and that sub cost as much as the Arc itself

The beauty of Sonos ecosystem is the wireless setup and integration.

The Arc is a good but I guess for my current setup I don't need a huge soundbar + setup since its only for a small room. The Beam is perfect.

Sony @ Sunway Pyramid selling around 3.8k - not sure about the freebies but seems like Curve’s promo is worth it

So ONKING @ Taipan is currently OOS for X90H - stocks coming in next month. Seng Heng @ Taipan also need 1-2 weeks for new batch of stocks.

Seems like this model is really hot selling.

Finally gotten my unit (x90H) last night at Harvey Norman Sunway Pyramid.

The unit was supposed to go up the wall as a display unit, but the wall has been occupied by the larger units so they plan to re-arrange it today.

Fortunately I was lucky, straight told the salesperson I’ll take it now - new and sealed box.

Initially booked my unit from Sony upstairs, but they sold it - the customer was pushing out the unit from the store as I walked in. ☹️

I noticed when watching Netflix @ DV with Netflix Calibrated Mode - the subtitles feels very bright / glaring.

I tried adjusting the brightness but seems like on Calibrated Mode this cannot be changed - but if I switch it off, the brightness seems to always be defaulted at 'Max'.

As long as its connected to HDMI eARC / ARC, it should be good.

Never encountered such issues that you've mentioned thou. I'm using a Sonos Beam.

Worth it. I paid 4.6k for mine + 3 years extended warranty from Harvey Norman.

Kena sweet talk by the salesman

Question - does anyone watch their TV in a dark room?

I tried watching Netflix content via DV Dark in a dark room, I find it immersive and only issue is the subtitles that are too bright / glaring due to the FALD feature. I just turn it off for English contents.

Firmware for HDMI 2.1 is here, according to this video.
