Just bought the 65" X9000H for my dad for RM6,499 - (RM400 trade in + RM650 cash back credit + RM 279 Xmas & CNY voucher + RM370 useless vouchers)
To be honest, company is paying for it and i'm getting full reimbursement. So basically i'm getting it for free + nearly RM1k Senheng credits biggrin.gif

Much better deal than Desa Home Kepong.

6499 before deducting the cash back & trade in?

Hi. Anyone bought from desa home kepong before? Thinking of getting the 85 inch kdx9000h as they have 10 percent rebate and cheapest so far (around 11.6k) with rebate and they give the free bracket.

My question is the bracket any good or not? Looks like very basic and concern about it’s holding power.

Yes, I have.
Is that 10 percent shopee cashback?
The bracket should work but you can buy better ones.

Yes that’s the one. Did you get one too?

Any bracket recommendation? I saw Sanus brand at 400 with tilting and minor movement.

That is not rebate from DH. Read up on Shopee cashback. You will understand.  I bought direct from DH but not 85". Better deal than Shopee. Call them and find out the price. Or call Alvin at DH +60193454930.

This can extend.

Hahhhah. Yeah I plan to go there today and did it . Ultimately Alvin and his sweet tongue gave me a pretty good deal. The clincher was the bundle Sony z9f soundbar plus rear speakers.

It's a pretty good price you got there. Maybe in conjunction with 11. 11? Generally do you think price will drop further after 11.11?  I only need the TV mid next year
*
Not sure. 11.11 is more online thing though I know some outlets also do some sales on it. 85 inch TVs rarely would get price drops and most of the time 11.11 focus on the more mainstream sizes (ie 50-65 inches).

I’m not expert at installing and would prefer also to buy from reputable shop so long as the price gap vs online via not too far off (I give about 300 max for the 85 incher). As I said earlier you can get from shoppee which will save you few hundred bucks (but the discount in the form of shoppee coins need to use in shoppee to buy other thing). Plus no human touch to converse with and service you 😅

If you only need it next year then just wait. Maybe new models will come out and it may drop to around 10-12k (or discontinued and low in stock).

Not on mine and I have thousands of hours of usage on it  .
The Burn In problems are mostly going to happen to 2 types of people .
The first type is people with very specific watching habits , such as those who are only ever going to play 1 game on the TV or only watching old school channel like Astro .
Modern streaming channels such as Netflix , Amazon have long removed these channel logos .
The second type are those who are using the TV incorrectly .

The OLED TVs are considered screen luxury , they are not for kids or housewives who like to left their screen on for 3 hours AFT[Away from TV] calling their BFF.
We also have those who pre-maturedly unplug the TV like they do with conventional LCD TVs , effectively preventing all anti-burn in cycles happening .

In this case , they have only got themselves to blame for not understanding the tech before buying .
There is also the 3rd type which I have excluded from above since they are mostly Fanbois and jelly Trolls , hardly people .
We have fanbois from Samsung , where they will take every chance to bash on OLED .

Or Jealous trolls who never own an OLED TV , thus have no idea how it works or function and the only weakness they are aware of is the Burn-Ins which have existed since the Plasma era .

I’m from plasma era. My tv for 10 yrs. 51 inch Samsung. But not Samsung fanboi 😅. Too bad now got horizontal banding.

Hi all. Just got a Sony x90h and a sony z9f soundbar. Woould like to check the following :

1. I plan to connect my PS5 to the tv. Is it better to connect the console directly to the TV or via the Soundbar passthrough?

2. For the hdmi cable for the soundbar, what cable should i look for that contains the eARC standards. Accordingly all HDMI 2.1 cables have eARC but i understand the newer hdmi 2.0 cables may have this inside. Any specifics i should be looking out for?

Thanks for any advices.

X95 is a very different beast than X90.

In the environment of showrooms , not only the ambient light shroud your eyes but also reduce perceived contrast .
Therefore it is literally impossible to determine Picture Quality in the store .

I keep bringing contrast back to the topic because that is what makes pictures pop from the screens . When we find something looking good , it is usually because the contrast is strong.

There is also the matter of these looping DEMO is tailored to hide the flaws of TV , typically featuring large bright and colorful objects against a dark background to project a sense of contrast .
Most of these are " easy jobs " for TVs and will not be representative of your actual viewing experience .


The real challenge lies in extremely bright /dark scenes where the TV need to precisely dim down or brighten up a smaller portion of area ,  such as scenes with small shiny stars in the space which are rarely featured in LCD TV demos .
No .

People are tired of me repeating myself so I will just throw these diagram here .

X90H

X95H

As you can see ,  the X90H technically has a faster S.O.C than the flagship X95 but it lacks a major co-video processing chip code named BE4K [Bravia Engine 4k] in the diagram .
Hence everything on X90H from audio , OS and PPP are handled solely by that chip .

Despite of the extra juice , these will translate into loss of Picture Quality here and there .

When you compare it against the flagship TVs which the OLEDs usually are , the difference become more distinct especially in HDR scenes .
Even if we disregard everything we had discussed above , the nature of self emissive tech still provides OLED with edges such as fast pixel response times leading to dramatic reduction of blur, impressive wide viewing angles and wider coverage of colorspace among other features .

These are no subjective opinions .  Unless you are colorblind , you can clearly perceive many of these advantage such less blurs , more colors palette even if you are not professional colorist .

Of course if both screens are looping the default demos , it would be hard to tell since most TV demos are designed to hide the flaws of LCD TVs , contrary to popular belief .
If you want to test the TV capabilities thoroughly  , bring your own test clips . A few 480p and a couple of clips from the recent LOTR remastered collection should do the job .
This is quickly escalating into a comparison of OLED VS LCD , which is NOT my original intention.

X90H is a decent TV with a lot of features and its primary focus is on gaming , not picture quality  . 
Just don't expect it to match , say an OLED CX or A8H . That is just not rational .

Thanks for the diagram. Help understand the tv connections better. EARC i believe its at HDMI 3 port (arrow looks like its at HDMI 4) smile.gif

Doubt the 5 years warranty covers accidental damage like the earlier post mentioned caused by own fault instead of manufacturer defects .

Mine is different not purely sony warranty and covers accidental etc. I know what you mean on the typical sony warranty. Anyway i think as usual its outsource to other agencies etc.

Mind to share the cost to buy this type of warranty for 5 yrs for 65 inch x90h?

I can’t remember. I think maybe extra rm500-600 or maybe closer to 1k. Mine is 85 inch.
