7k budget can get 55 inch lg c9.

Or with 5.5k can get b9

There still are 2018 55" Panasonic FZ950(?) still selling for less than 6K on Lazada. For movies, I am pretty sure it still trumps 2019/2020 LED or even QLEd for movies.

RM5999 a good price for the 65" X90H? Might just pull the trigger this weekend.

That's half the price of OLED. Really makes one wonder whether it's still worth to get the OLED.

Seng Heng and SenQ last i went some shop got stock. Just need the staff to make an effort to call around and see which shop has it. But they say for sure the Shah Alam warehouse has stock. But that one can only be sent with delivery only. No self pickup. If u planning to buy from this shop, and if u got citibank credit card, ask for their plusone citi membership. this will give u +2 years additional warranty instead of just +1 for regular member. This is the mistake i done last time. Dont repeat.
*
You mean, you can use any citibank credit card to get extra 2 years warranty on all products at Senq or Seng Heng? How much would that cost?

Do u wan to keep the tv for that additional years or do u prefer to upgrade newer tech? To me I prefer to upgrade newer tech. My tv 5 years ago was 1080p. Few years after that 4k is everywhere at a cheap enough price for most consumer to buy. I knew ppl that had additional warranty, n get their tv repaired n now make noise coz their wife don't allow them to buy new one coz old one still works. How? laugh.gif

Newer doesn't automatically means better.

I still have an old Plasma and the color still beats 90% of the LED on today's market. The only thing worth changing to is an OLED and those cost a bomb.

Sure mate. Continue to enjoy your plasma. To each his own.

Have you seen a good plasma to say that? To me, a good TV must have accurate colors especially skin tones.

I have a good plasma and been looking for a new TV for some time now. 90% of the LED color are off. Sure, some like Samsung can look super super sharp and impressive like a light canon but they are totally inaccurate in color.

Only a few that have more accurate colors like Sony's 9500G is good and the OLEDs.

You seems to like vivid unnatural color. Not everybody do. Or may be you don't even know what is naturalness or don't know what is the past to begin with. Or you one of those who automatically thinking everything New must be Better.

In terms of color especially skin tone, OLED is a successor of Plasma. There is something organic about Plasma and OLED picture that I don't see in LED. But then I doubt you know what I am talking about.

Do note i am only talking about color and not about other stuff like resolution etc. If you know what color means.

Oh the irony. Talk so much n u came to the same conclusion as me. OLED is newer tech...

There are Plasma, LED. You seem to imply newer latest model LED can replace Plasma and should not live with Plasma and go into LED?

You should go visit the past and go watch a good Plasma before opening your offensive post.

Guys, can you plug any brand wireless keyboard with x90h?
*
don't have a Sony but I once read saying only LG bluetooth work with LG TV. But since gotten a LG, I have plug in 2 wireless bluetooth headphone and they both work without a hitch.

so I presume you shouldn't worry too much and just go ahead and try.

Uh , no . Not even close .
I know what X90H is capable of ,  I have calibrated 3 units of this TV since last year .
People who said they look identical are none but who took a simple glance in the store .

You are literally comparing a LCD TV with 32 zones of light control with 8 millions individually-lit pixels .
Meaning ?  You have to divide the whole screen into 32 zones , any bright object which is smaller than 4% of the screen is going to cause blooming and thus reduced contrast and dynamic range surrounding the object.

Now consider both contrast and dynamic range are important factors in determining picture quality , LCD TV would need to reach at least 1000 cd/m2 - 1500 cd/m2  to achieve the same level of pop and dynamic range  .
Even when they do , there are plenty of issues such as blooming and uneven bright uniformity due to current flawed implementation of FALD .
These effects are further alleviated when you're in a dark room , where true black shows its " true colors " by melting into the backtround , giving you a sense of depth like no others .

Add in the fact that a large majority of the OLED TV came from the flagship series featuring the best anti reflective coating & best picture processing , comparing it with an OLED TV is simply unrealistic .
This is not to say X90H sucks and in fact it is one of the best mid-range LCD we have gotten in the past few years .
Let's just say X90H is in a very good spot for the bang of your bucks .
*
What if you watch tv in a normal lighted room? Would the X90H be 90% of an OLED?

I once saw a 950G in a bright showroom and I was very impressed.

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.
Thanks for the explanation. I understand about the contrast but not color volume. What does color volume do? Is that the reason why some says the Sony OLED has better picture quality than the LG?

On my being impressed by the Sony 950G, I was comparing it to the Samsung and LG LED in the store.

A typical RGB OLED pixel should have great coverage on all aspect of colors .
Current OLED TV panel has added a white pixel on top of the RGB to boost its brightness but this white pixel will dilute the color saturation as the screen get brighter .

If you are talking about Pixel Contrast Booster found on Sony 's Flagship , they've somehow found a way to restrain the dilution by limiting energy pumped into the white pixel .
This does not solve the problem but it give them a bit more color saturation at the cost of being less bright .

Fundamentally they are still using LG 's OLED panels so there isn't much they can do until LG decides to revamp the Pixel Structures .

IMO Sony OLEDs are now tied with LG ,  it does better in some area but losing out in some other area .
There are always fanbois who will defend their favorite TV brands , pay those no minds .
*
I find most picture setting too bright. So what if I turn down the OLED light setting, would I get more saturated color?

VPN is a hit and miss type thing.

Today this server doesn't work, may be tomorrow can. You just have to try several. That is my experience.

May be you can consider OLED if it is suitable for you. I have seen it went as low as RM8000 for 65" for past year's model. A past year's model OLED picture quality should still beat latest X95H anytime.

The X95 series from the past few years have been crap , so you are not missing anything .

The X-Wide angles implementation bring more harms to Sony TV than benefits , significantly reducing Contrast ratings .
*
Based on what I saw in the showroom, though not perfect environment, X95 is the best LED I saw.

But since I wanted the best picture quality, I went for OLED instead. After all, where am I going to spend my money if I can't travel? biggrin.gif

You have to check out a Samsung Q90R in its full glory .

Clearly You have not seen a Q90R in action . The 500 dimming zones +  kick the **** out of any X95 models in existence .
Their wide angles implementation is also more sophisticated than Sony's .

The recent X95 has been downgraded to having 48 local dimming zones , barely an upgrade over X90 .
*
No. I have not. There aren't any Q90R when I went to the showrooms. By then my heart has already been set on an OLED.
