Rather than just what TV to get, better put some money into your audio setup too.

Typically I would go for sizes .

But in this case the OLED TVs pack a MUCH higher picture quality which X90H can only dream to reach , despite being a decent all-rounder .

X90H is not Sony's Flagship TV . It doesn't has some of the more advance picture processing featured in Sony's flagship X1 Ultimate chip set .
Plus its dynamic backlight only has 32 zones integrated onto an 85 " screen , the light transition is so much more obvious .

Or if you are going to spend thousands of hours playing the same few live service games , Q95T is the best option .

Mediocre combo.

A9G has high input lag, aggressive ABL which is very irritating for games that has static HUDs (which majority does), so-so peak brightness and no VRR support.

Entry level setup pairing it with a 65" RU7100 and Q70R soundbar both from Samsung. Honestly, I'd be happy if the PS5 can run 1440 upscaled to 4k at 60hz. It's a big leap as far as consoles are concerned. I'm doubtful of the advertised native 4k 120hz. Really depends on which games are optimized to run it but i'm good with a locked 60 frames across all titles.

Until a new model comes out. Will go for this. Either 75 or 85 inch. Looks the best bang for buck for me.

May get the LG or Samsung secondary OLED tv for self indulgence comParison purposes if I have extra leftover.

LG CX. Or just wait for 2021 TVs.

If you don’t care about 120Hz, Samsung Q80T has the lowest input lag so far in 4K HDR gaming, less than 10ms.

Hard to decide between LG, Samsung & Sony @@
Think Sony is the most budget, after that go to Samsung QLED, and LG OLED.

Reviewers have pretty much confirmed AAA games will not run at 4k 120fps. With ray tracing on, things can only run at 30fps.

After some research, I think there is no need to upgrade TV for now unless your existing tv is not a 4k

I am sure you can but do you really want to ?

The gap of picture quality between entry level and mid-range TV is massive .

The gap between mid-ranger and flagship is enormous as well .


Then consider this , your game is only looking as good as your viewing screen is .

Take into consideration of ur sitting distance.

If around 5ft to 6.5ft, 55in would be enough for immersion.

6.5ft to 8ft+, 65in will be more immersive.

The Samsung Q80T is better in every aspect , but not so much better to the point you want to sacrifice 40 % of the screen size .

I owned x9000h and a ps5. Reason for me to buy it due to price, during 11.11 the 65inc was at 5.9k at Queensbay mall Penang. Another reason is it support Dolby vision which I enjoy it with my netflix drama and movies that supported it. It also have, 2 hdmi 2.1 ports. So far it performed really well at my living room which is bright. Pic showed COD at 120hz 4k output. Bonus for me and important aspect maybe some may not consider. Sony Android you can install Stremio by loading it via USB and install with an app available with the TV. Download Stremio apk from the web, load it in USB. The TV cpu is powerful as Stremio felt like part of the tv. Smooth and no lag with the remote.

Dolby vision in netflix will let you choose bright or dark version. So both are nice depending on what time I'm watching the tv morning or night.
I don't have a 4K dolby vision blue ray disc yet but plan to get some. I play my old blu-ray disc and it perform fast. Ps5 can bitstream content to the tv. The tv did a good job as mentioned by hdtvtest here.


And yes. HBO Go is available for download. I dont have an account so didn't try it.

Its an Android TV, so basically most Android-TV based apps are available for the x90H.

You can also sideload HBO Max app, which I am currently using.

Samsung 2020 TVs
Report: HDMI 2.1 bug prevents 4K120+HDR from PS5 on Samsung TVs
04 Jan 2021 | Rasmus Larsen | 5 Comments
Samsung's high-end 2020 LCD TVs are currently unable to play 4K120 with HDR from PlayStation 5 over HDMI 2.1, according to owners and a report by Forbes.

Affects Samsung 4K & 8K TVs
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are the first consoles with HDMI 2.1 and it has not exactly been smooth sailing. The latest reported issue is related to PS5 connected to Samsung's high-end 2020 TVs, which are also the company's first TVs with HDMI 2.1.

- "... neither Samsung’s premium 2020 4K TVs - the Q70T, Q80T, Q85T, Q90T or Q95T - nor the brand’s Q900R and Q950T 8K TVs, appear to be able to live up to their promise of playing 4K resolution at 120Hz frame rates from a PS5 while also delivering HDR. Even though the same TVs CAN, as expected, play 4K 120Hz HDR from the Xbox Series X," reports Forbes.

It effectively means that owners of PS5 and a 2020 Samsung TV are forced to play in either 4K60 with HDR or 4K120 with SDR, even though 4K120 with HDR should be supported. PS5's 4K120 HDR output works correctly with other HDMI 2.1-enabled TVs, including LG's TVs. Samsung's TVs also work correctly with 4K120+HDR from Xbox Series X.


PS5 and 120Hz

PS5 SUPPORTS 4K120 + HDR BUT IT IS NOT CURRENTLY WORKING ON SAMSUNG TVS

The issue is being discussed on various forums including the Samsung's community board. It is unclear what the cause of the issue is but it appears to be a bug related to HDMI 2.1 – either on the console or in the TVs.

Also read: First HDMI 2.1 receivers reportedly have faulty HDMI 2.1 chip

To engage 120fps output on PlayStation 5 you must select the game's 'performance mode'. Only a handful of games support 120fps output at this time. An in-depth evaluation can be found in FlatpanelsHD's PlayStation 5 review.

Neither Samsung nor Sony PlayStation have commented on the issue.

With new TV announced in CES this year, I think 2020 models strated on sale already. This one below is an example from Penang Sony Queensbay mall.

So let me get this straight .

At first he was the first one who make a huge deal out of it when Sony has officially confirmed nothing .
Now , seeing that these malicious rumors are coming back to bite his backside , he made another video to " clarify " on the matter .



None of any respectable figure I know within the industry can ever confirm what he say .
Not rtings , not HDTVtest from any region , not AVforums , not AVsforums , not flatHDpanel .



Yet we have fools who are still watching his videos , cursing and swearing at Sony since the past few days .


Another proof people on the internet lack brain memory cells .

Did we not remember how many apology videos he had to make when he claimed Hisense H9G has better picture quality than OLED TVs ?
Or was it that time where he claimed all Netflix videos are " FAKE HDR " ?

Agreed. But it is a very effective click bate. I was also waiting for HDTVTest to comment and so far nothing.

I bought the tv with hope VRR to be enabled so now feels much better 😂

Hi guys, it seems that it is time for me to upgrade my TV for my PS5 gaming.

My previous set up was using the old Acer ET430K HDR 43" monitor back in 2017 and since it is already faulty I plan to get an upgrade and I was looking at the LG OLED TVs.

Based off of my findings, the latest LG OLED C1 looks amazing but price wise I found out that if I were to top up a few hundreds more I can get its predecessor the CX 55" at 5.9k range. C1 48" is already at 5199 range. Both of them are pretty much similar except for the C1 with better input lag due to its Game Optimizer mode with boost.

I was leaning more to the 55" LG CX. Please advise.

For 4K TV's, bigger is always better.

Size has a far higher impact to your TV experience than other aspects like picture quality.

The only thing the C1 does better is above black level in dark scenes and much better motion interpolation for 24p content (movies) with its new cinematic motion option.

Other than that, everything else between the C1 and CX are very similar almost till the point of you need to be anal to point out the minute differences. The lower input lag does not mean anything, because the CX already has a low enough input lag that anything else lower you won't be able to feel.

Save your money, get the CX.

No need buy too expensive tv

Any 4k tv that can play 60fps is sufficient

Invest in a good sound bar instead

Welcome to the OLED club.

Make sure to do some basic level calibration.

Thanks man!!

Yeah, did some calibration here and there for my ps5 using HGiG (both SDR and HDR), 4k SDR and HDR videos and Dolby Vision IQ for YouTube and Netflix. Do you normally turn off the TruMotion feature for your videos?

I always disable any motion interpolation on TVs. But you may try it out on the very lowest custom setting of deblur 0 and dejudder 1 on your CX as LG made some improvements with less artifacting over the C9.

Hi, I got it for RM5.8k range after rebate and use my shopee coins. Delivery is free and although some of the sellers might be cheaper but their delivery costs made it more expensive in the end.

https://shopee.com.my/PM-ME-FOR-REBATE-VOUC...5209.6735576619

Left two units and normally the last unit the price will balloon up. So see who pulls the trigger earlier. You will need to PM to get the RM100 rebate. Happy shopping.

Many thanks. Found a store where they had this model on display retailing for RM 5,999.00. They didn't even want to give a discount for it even though it had already clocked about 2,300 hours doh.gif

That store is ridiculous but anyway, willing buyer willing seller in this case. There is another one in Shopee which still sells it at a cheap price of 5.8k with RM95 shipping fee. It's a hot item as the C1 is still expensive and you will not be losing out much with the CX.

As with all other OLED TV , you want to switch to the right mode and tune down the brightness at first .
This is crucial because a large majority of the content you will be watching are SDR .

Therefore they don't require you to blast the brightness all the way up to 300 - 400 cd/m2 .

Expert - dark room is the more accurate mode .
OLED light of 20-35 is recommended for dark room , with gamma to BT.1886 OR 2.4 .
40+ for bright living room and gamma to 2.2 .


Since you most likely don't have a lightmeter , this is the pretty much the best you can do .



Playstation 5 also has a pretty crappy HDR implementation , you want to fix the raised black floor first since this affect picture quality .
+ 5 points to the brightness during SDR gaming mode should fix the problem . But this is based on the reading on the limited few OLED TVs I owned .

For very selected few games , such as CONTROL you want to revert back to default value since the developers have natively tune down the black level of the game .


Turn off any sort of sharpening , motion enhancement or smooth gradation .


Of course these are for LG OLEDs only .

For more basics , check out rtings

That should cover it I guess, many thanks notworthy.gif

Question though, shouldn't the output from the PS5 be HDR instead of SDR?

Yes which is stupid because a lot of games are still not HDR-compatible .

If you forced HDR on these games they are only making the game brighter as a whole , it does not improve Picture quality because dynamic range is still the same .

Go to setting - screen and video - video output , tick the " On when supported " option for HDR.

PS4 pro did this just fine , I have no idea why Sony has to make them so complicated on PS5 .

OLED light 27 = 102 cd/m2 (nits) btw.

There are variances in panel, but the average I've gotten for about 20 models of C9 to CX is OLED light 27 is required to get to 100 nits for SDR. This is for use with a dark room only (preferably pitch black).

Typically the clients I've calibrated for usually have a pair or 2 of downlights (4000k, 10w) turned on when they game. So OLED light 27 is actually too dark for most games. Usually I set the OLED light to about 40-45 which pushes up the value to ~180-200 nits. Not accurate, but it's video games - so who cares.

For my SDR movies, I am using FILMMAKER mode with gamma at 2.2 with OLED light at 27 in my room and I normally turn off the light and enjoy. Games like SSJBen stated, SDR I would just ramp OLED light up to higher values.

Ideally 65" CX1 if you can stretch it.

X90j is not a bad TV per se though.

I have purchased the 55" CX but my place is currently still under reno. Now the 65" CX is going for 9.9k. Initially I was thinking its still a bit too much but I found out that they are giving a free LG air purifier that cost 2k+ alone for the 65" purchase.

I sit ~2.5m away from the TV console and the CX not yet delivery until my place is done. So I still can top up for 65" Should I just go for the extra 40% screen? hmm.gif

I am just afraid it might be too big no?

2.5m is perfectly reasonable for a 65 " 4k screen.
I also have a 55 " A9F which is used exclusively for running test pattern and movies , they are roughly 1.5m away from my seat .


The closer you are to the screen , the larger your vision angles are being stretched leading to a more cinematic experience .
The golden ratio for a 55 " is approximately 1.7m away from the screen , at 36 - 40 degree. This translates to 2.0m for a 65" .

For gaming and other purposes , I would add 0.5m to the gap to prevent motion sickness .


I usually recommend people to sit slightly closer to OLEDs than typical LCD because you can actually see how amazing the contrast on self emissive screens are , each perfectly lit-up pixel just makes the experience so much more immersive .
My new favorite Passengers look unbelievable on OLED screen . Lotsa dark scenes with a bunch of small highlights , my new go-to for Test stressing the PQ of TVs.

Alright thanks for your input. I will speak with the merchant for the top up. Paying 9.9k deal for 65" CX + free rm2k+ air purifier is too hard to pass. Meaning the TV is around 7.9-8k or so.

36° meaning the horizontal viewing angle right? How about head tilt angle? I have tried to sit on the floor in front of the couch to get closer and game ps5 and yeah I will get motion sickness very fast.

My favorite go to movie would be the dark knight, tunnel car chase, football explosion scene and a couple more. Martian is another good movie to test. My current X90H is okay...just that during the tunnel scene, the blooming is quite severe when the tunnel goes pitch black and slight panning judder when the tunnel lights up and batman zooms pass.

Really hope OLED doesn't disappoint me.

I went yolo and top up for 65" CX. Ended up with RM9800 nett. The free LG purifier costs RM2499 alone, that's the cheapest I can find on LZ/Shopee with others selling above RM2.7k. So the TV itself is around RM7.3k.

So for those who are still looking for a new OLED, I think this 65" CX Merdeka promo (ends 30/9) is the best deal now.

I got my 55 CX initially from the same place as Bro shinjite. Back then when he posted the link there were 2 units left. I got one of them and I believe the shop took down the link few days later. You can just WhatsApp them to check 55 stock.

This is the link for 65.

thanks, wish i could go for cx 65", but rm6k +/- is my best budget.. can only decide x9j 65" or cx 55".

i currently am more leaning to x9j 65" because it is 65" biggger size, android os more streaming apps can be installed like streamio.., LCD = no screen burning worry.

but picture quality wise, oled is the best..

Use the correct preset modes if you don't have the means or tools to properly calibrate. You'll be generally happy with your CX.

Best movies to test:
1) Gemini Man
2) Revenant
3) Passengers
4) One World 7 Planets (ok not a movie, but still IMO the best looking feature documentary today)

Well then if RM6k is your max budget, the X90j 65" is not necessarily a bad TV for the price. Go for it.

Is there any major difference in picture with Full Array LED in X90J compared to X85J?

What you guys think of LG C1 48” at rm5.3k?

I am with 48” because it will be used in bedroom.

C1 is my max budget now. If got alternative I wouldn’t stretch to that budget.

Given LG nano86 and Sony X90J is almost 4.8-4.9k

what is your bedroom distance to tv? mine is 10 feet and used to enjoying 55" tv, currently going for 65". IMHO, 55" - 75" is better optimized for visual enjoyment. i was torn between CX 55" and x90j 65", but decided to go for x90j: reason: bigger size, android os(more customizations), no worry about screen burn. i know OLED is the best for display quality, but x90j is not bad either.

based on your budget, yours choice should be c1 48" and x90j 55". there is a shop offering x90j rm52++ with five year warranty in shopee, you may take a look.

Or you can stretch your budget a bit like RM400+ then you can get the 55" LG CX OLED. Just an additional option 😁

Th tv current position is about 3 feet away from bed end. But I sit 2-3 feet while gaming. If movie I will lay back which is about 4-5 feet.

I don’t want to add anymore budget I was trying to get 5k LG C1 if possible.

I went senheng to ask around possible to get x90j for 4.9k

I don’t mind 48 really. 55 I might find it too big for 2-3 feet range.

Get C1. For me PQ always come first. I know most people would go for the bigger size.

I have a 3 yo 43 panasonic at around 4-5 ft in the room for casual movies also and I think its fine. 48 OLED should be good.

I believe the 55 CX at 5.8-5.9 all sold out already. Now the price back to RM6.7 and above.

I will always recommend 55" and above (preferably 65") unless you got room space restrictions.

For 48", when you playing game hunched forward, it's okay. But when you wanna lay back and watch movie, the smaller size really reduces the enjoyment.

i guess C1 48" is a more suitable choice then. but do take note, you can x90j 55" for rm45++ easily on laz or shopee.

55” would be ideal size for most. That depends on playing style, I sit at bed edge to play games most of the time. Seldom watch tv there unless “ahem” no suitable for kids in living room. Very seldom. Mostly use the room tv for gaming.

The problem is x90j is around 4.5k and about 500 bucks more which no brainer not to get OLED but ofcourse the down side it’s just 48”.

Actually my budget started 3.5k max which I can only get x80j or any non hdmi2.1 4k tv. Well maybe this is the budget I that need expand.

For me it’s feature. As size I am opting for 50 of lesser. As I sit around 2 feet away for gaming. Even movie also 3-4 feet.

Depends on your viewing distance. Any more than 5ft, take the 55" x90J. Less than that, the C1 48 is a no brainer.

Hi guys.

LG OLED BX55 around 5.2K . Good deal?

Is there any much difference between OLED C1 and CX? BX still support 4k 120Hz HDMI 2.1 right?

If you want budget TV, then the best TV is Sony model X90H series which was released in 2020 but still have some stock at very cheap price right now. It can play 4k 120fps. Latest software update just realeased yesterday improve the VRR features. However you may need to wait for PS5 to release firmware update to enable the VRR features

not easy to find X90H as X90J has taken over. LG 48" C1 price maybe higher than Sony 55" X90J, but still i decide to go with LG C1 during 11.11 @ RM4699 tongue.gif. i don't need a very big TV for my small gaming room, not to mention C1 has higher rating than X90J in every aspect, thus i think i would pain once and go for C1 tongue.gif

If you want budget TV, then the best TV is Sony model X90H series which was released in 2020 but still have some stock at very cheap price right now. It  can play 4k 120fps. Latest software update just realeased yesterday improve the VRR features. However you may need to wait for PS5 to release firmware update to enable the VRR features

Not too much difference between X90H and X90J isn't? Just the processor right?

C1 48" too small for my 250 sqft living hall. Opted to 55 or 65 inch tv. 55 C1 over budget pula.

Haha. If that's the case, straight buy one of those 8K Sony Z9J or LG Z1. tongue.gif

Jokes aside, wow the panasonic jz2000 like not bad. Beat the sony in terms of black level, shadow details, color accuracy, hdr performance.

For LG CX or oled users, do you get intermittent screen blackout for 1-2 seconds during gaming with HDR logo pop up again at the top corner? This happen like every 2-3 hours of gaming. So far fifa is having this issue. I have yet to try other games.

I read up online it seems to be an issue where the the console is force outputting at RGB 12 bit. The freesync info box also showing 12 bit. Is there a workaround to get 4K 60hz RGB 4:4:4 10 bit HDR on the PS5? Because if I set the 4K transfer rate to -1, the signal drops to 4K 60 Hz 8 Bit HDR. I don't think this is acceptable.

Mine is C1 48, so far no such issue with PS5. (my PC is the one having issues LOL)

I think -1 means 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, not 8-bit.

If it's 4:2:2, then it's quite okay. Our eyes cannot notice the difference during gaming and show.

Sigh I think I found the answer online already.

-1 is limiting the bandwidth to HDMI2.0 of 18 Gbps.
-2 is limiting the bandwidth to HDMI1.4 of 10.2 Gbps.

For a 4K 60fps chroma RGB 4:4:4 to work for 10 bit color depth will need 20.05 Gbps. But if I set the 4K transfer rate to Auto, it will max out and forced 12 bit 4:2:2 at 32 Gbps output from console if I am not wrong.

4K 60fps 4:2:2 will need 17.82 Gbps < 18 Gbps.

PS5 should have a setting like XSX to select 8, 10, 12 bit. vmad.gif

4:2:2 is near-impossible to notice in a blind test for gaming and movies.

When I set Ratchet Clank to output 40FPS, it was changed to 4:2:2. Still cantek.

@bolded
They can't because PS5 has a gimped HDMI controller, only 32gbps max bandwidth. Series X has 40gbps. Allowing the user to have free option of selecting bit depth may confuse users.

Although in theory 4:4:4 @ 2160p60hz 10-bit would fit into the 32gbps bandwidth, games on PS5 are mastered in 4:2:0. Games on Series X (believe it or not) is mastered in Full RGB because of its compatibility with a Windows backend. Perhaps Sony saw no reason to give users to enable 4:4:4 anyway because it makes no difference at the end of the day.

Yeah, I dropped it to -1 and run fifa at YUV 4:2:2 non RGB for 2-3 hours per day this past few days. No flickering issue or intermittent screen black out anymore.

So I was browsing for some cheap tv. I dont mind lack of HDMI 2.1 bcoz my eys are old man one so didn't matter if it was 120Hz all I see was same 60Hz. Is this good enough? Since it got Dolby Vision so its good for my Series X too I think hmm.gif

"Good enough " is not the word I would use .

I did some comparison with Hisense top range U8G with a Samsung before , apparently they are quite a lackluster .
And that is an understatement per se .


Also screen with higher native refresh rate , generate less motion blurs than one that doesn't even if you are only playing 60hz content .
This apply to LCD as well , not just OLED .

Why ?

Because higher end LCD has better control of backlight and thus , emit less blue light in the process ?

Because you care about watching and seeing what is displaying on your screen ?

Because you can afford to spend RM25000 on some random Louis Vuitton limited edition Flipping phone but hesitate to spend even 1/5 of that amount onto a much bigger screen ?


Now how about you save some of the blah for yourself ?
Your game is only as good looking as your screen . Perhaps you should keep that in mind as well.

Do you even understand what is HDR ? You don't need HDR in every game and every circumstance .
A more capable TV has already by nature , contributed to higher Dynamic Range by improving contrast ( hence Picture Quality ) even for Non-HDR content .


Looks like we got another winner here who bought some TV from the ABC and thinks he has seen it all . Ignorance has no bounds , I guess .



QUOTE

Sounds like a cheapskate's sentiment to me .

Why do you even want to pair a PS5 with Cheap TV ? That's like buying RTX 3090 to play Hello Kitty Online .
You definitely don't get HDR from them , you also don't really get 4k from some of them since they are RGBW panels .

Therefore out of " 4k 60fps HDR " package , You may only end up getting 1/3 of the deal .
The 60hz refresh rate from LCD is only going to hinder your experience even further because any 24p cutscene is going to " hiccup " in your face .


You don't need to buy and own every PS5 game out there , only the one that you really wanted to play and you will end up getting a much more immersive experience .

Bro, top up 1k max or so only and get this 55" X90J 12.12 from Desa Home.
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/2021-new...6824PLVVrW&mp=1

If I am not wrong, I think this TV is just 8 bit + FRC. Color reproduction wise will never be on par with 10 bit native 1.07 billion colors like X90J.

Since you are about to get a new TV, getting a native 120hz TV will anytime be better than a 60hz tv not just for 120 fps gaming, for watching movies as well. You might want to do a bit of research on 24p 3:2 pulldown on a 60hz and 5:5 pulldown on 120hz.

So Malaysian QN90A is unlike those VA in the US reviewed by rtings? The other day I was at SenQ to check it out cause I also not sure if its VA or IPS. I asked the sales person and he is also not quite sure but they came back to me and said VA. But nevertheless, I still think price is a bit on the high side for now.

I cant seem to find info for the malaysia side for this model.

Unless it is the 85" , all of them are IPS .

It has been proven beyond a doubt , screen-scanned by me and by our fellow forum mates as well .

Your shop guy probably went online and checked from rtings , and saw the TV with the same models and thought they found the answer .

The QN90A of US is the same line up as QN95A in Uk / Europe , which is not available in Malaysia .

Guys I'm looking for TV replacement for my Office/gaming desk
which can fit 43 inch MAX,
but nowadays Sony and Samsung line up are mostly 55inch and above due to 4K.
Any good recommendation for 43inch with HDR and 120Hz? 4K is optional because it does not make much difference for screen below 50 inch

Hisense MY website lists the TV as 4K @ 60 Hz capable only. U7G

Also, this TV is only 8 bit (each pixel ranges from 0-255, or simply 2 to the power of 8 = 256 shades of each Red, Green, Blue totaled to 256x256x256 = 16.7 million colors) + FRC (Frame Rate Control). It is still not a true 10 bit panel which is 64 times of that amount totaled up to 1.07 billion colors. FRC is just using temporal dithering and flash colors twice to fool our eyes thinking we are seeing the intended 10 bit wider color info on a limited 8 bit color palette display.

HDR10 minimum requirement is actually 10 bit depth. So it's better to view HDR10 contents on a native 10 bit panel to enjoy the most accurate colors. HDR10

TLDR? Never mind, gaming using 8 bit + FRC display maybe cannot really see the differences. But why would I want to watch HDR10 contents on a 8 bit + FRC panel? tongue.gif

For such low 3k price, I think is very okay thumbsup.gif

For some people, 1k can be a lot

If want good, have to open wallet or wait for June 2022 old model throw price.

In Rtings real world test results, color gamut scores decently and actually meets or beats Samseng's far pricier QN85A.

You can definitely tell the difference in very specific scenes .
The problem gets worse when you consider that Hisense TV does not come with any smooth-gradation features .


This caused some movies filmed with grainy effects a lot " noisier " than usual due to the lack of " grades " to progress from one to another .



You can get a X90J 55 " for less than 4k during one of these xx / xx sales , saving 1000 going for U7G just to have sub-par picture quality and inferior FALD system sounds a little absurd to me .

Hisense has also fallen far behind other brands when it comes to picture processing and upscaling .



I hate to tell people they don't have much of a choice here but that is just the fact with the MY TV market .

I guess to most people with an untrained eye as long as color vivid, screen size big enough, motion ok price ok then all good. tongue.gif

Actually 55" X90J was only 3559 at Desa Home during 12.12 after deducting some LZ cash. The whole 9 units sold out within a couple hours.

Sony A95K looks like an early favorite to win 2022 PQ crown, with leading-edge QD OLED tech. biggrin.gif

For some reason though, the tech is from Samsung but their TV division is very reluctant to promote their own QD OLED TV.

When I check their TV CES marketing, they still mainly focused on their NEO QLED.

https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-ele...ization-options

Maybe they feel QD OLED still harga yahoodeee laugh.gif  so better focus on their NEO QLED one more year

Yeah true perhaps not so soon for their own QD-OLED lineup.

Samsung only doing 55 and 65 for TVs, 34 for monitors with QD-OLED. The 55 price will rival the price of a typical 65 WOLED. The 65 QD-OLED will be more expensive than a 77 WOLED.

So obviously, it's simple economics. The QD-OLEDs are for people who don't ask how much it is, rather they ask how many have you got?

LG will be releasing their C2 range in 42" also, that would be a good choice if you space is limited and wanna replace your monitor

best of all, C2 will be using the Evo panel used in G1 last year thumbup.gif

just pray they don't hike up the price too much this year.

The "Evo" panels are only in sizes 55, 65, 77 and 83". 48 and 42 sizes are stuck with last year's panels.

Go with Samsung AU9000 43", I'm using one with PS5 & PC. It may not be a 4K 120Hz (PS5 4K 120Hz is a gimmick anyway), but it is a capable gaming TV and also PC monitor nonetheless. At 1080p it can do 120Hz though. Not sure how much it costs today, but I bought one in July 2021 at around 2K or so like that.

You've been up to date with your CES 2022 models, I see.

You may be in for a long wait though.

In my case, LG C1 was introduced just like how the TVs in your list are introduced, ....unveiled at CES 2021 in January 2021.

Had to wait till September 2021 for the C1 to appear locally here for me to buy, 9 months after CES of the same year. With countless emails wrote to LG Malaysia asking for release/launch date.

If you're okay with that, hunker down and wait. Maybe wont be so bad if the supply chain and chip shortage issues have recovered now, versus the shithole situation we had in 2021.

The Americans had it the easiest in term of wait time, they only had to wait till late Spring to get their CES models, talking historically in the case of the LG C1's release after it was unveiled in January CES 2021. They only had to wait till March/April 2021 for their C1s. Even Singaporeans got their C1 in late summer in June/July 2021.

The same was for Sony's A90Js and A80Js. I didnt keep track of Samsung's lineup releases in 2021. I went full bore into OLED. Tired of uneven backlighting issues in LED models. Never considered them anymore.

Malaysia no huge demand for quality models like these, even worse if you want the latest ones. You'll get pushed more on getting last year models, like how I was "encouraged" by TanBoonMing TBM, Desa Home, HarveyNorman & SenQ to get LG CX "ready stock" instead of waiting for my preferred C1. They're eager to get rid of their overstocked last year models. They'll even adjust the price around to encourage you to get last year stock or piling on premium on top of MSRP price for the latest models to make their overstocked units look like a good deal. Personally, once I set my mind on something I want, I dont budge till I get it.

Was lucky to get a great deal for LG C1 55" from Desa with freebies at launch. Was literally tracking the stock from its arrival at Port Klang, then counting days till it was delivered. They knew I was dead serious about getting the C1, despite showroom closed due COVID and all purchases being online only.

I wish you good luck with tons of patience. nod.gif Need patience, 9 months wait is like waiting for your first born from pregnancy. laugh.gif

just go for cheap tv with hdr 4k 60fps, ur will be fine loo and the extra money can be use to purchase more ps5 game....

Yup if u are on a budget, get what you can afford. TV is just a TV, end of the day its just for entertainment, its not something super essential.


QUOTE(Convael @ Dec 10 2021, 04:06 PM)
Why ?

Because higher end LCD has better control of backlight and thus , emit less blue light in the process ?

Because you care about watching and seeing what is displaying on your screen ?

Because you can afford to spend RM25000 on some random Louis Vuitton limited edition Flipping phone but hesitate to spend even 1/5 of that amount onto a much bigger screen ?
Now how about you save some of the blah for yourself ?
Your game is only as good looking as your screen . Perhaps you should keep that in mind as well.
Do you even understand what is HDR ? You don't need HDR in every game and every circumstance .
A more capable TV has already by nature , contributed to higher Dynamic Range by improving contrast ( hence Picture Quality ) even for Non-HDR content .
Looks like we got another winner here who bought some TV from the ABC and thinks he has seen it all . Ignorance has no bounds , I guess .
Sounds like a cheapskate's sentiment to me .

Why do you even want to pair a PS5 with Cheap TV  ? That's like buying RTX 3090 to play Hello Kitty Online .
You definitely don't get HDR from them , you also don't really get 4k from some of them since they are RGBW panels .

Therefore out of " 4k 60fps HDR " package , You may only end up getting 1/3 of the deal .
The 60hz refresh rate from LCD is only going to hinder your experience even further because any 24p cutscene is going to " hiccup " in your face .
You don't need to buy and own every PS5 game out there , only the one that you really wanted to play and you will end up getting a much more immersive experience .

Your bolded sentence in the quote above....cannot say like that la bro. Who say we spend so much on a phone? What if no money to spend much on a phone nor a OLED TV? Budget maa

Money talks man. Sure, you all have nice setups and PS5 + the latest TV's. But some people just wanna game for fun and came from not so privileged background..or grew up using CRT fat screen TV's with low low frames per second or small desktop/lapto, so even a budget 4k 60FPS TV is damn good already. Not everyone may need a 120FPS OLED ma right..

But sure, if u have money, go ahead. Of course the OLED TV looks great, no doubt about that

"get what you can afford".

That is a given, common sense. No amount of advise can make budget grow or TV prices shrink.

Question is, do you need to get a TV now? That will decide between getting a cheap TV now versus a better TV later.

Let's say you decide to wait for the new LG C2 or any good TV unveiled in this year's CES to launch here and the price is the same as when the C1 was launched here at launch.

If it happens like last year, it takes 9 months to get between introduction at CES to local release. You now have 9 months to save up enough to get a good TV.

9 months to save up. Doesn't look or sound that bad now, does it?

Or does not have to be an expensive OLED, though divided by 9months wait, that'll ease the burden of funding by dividing it between the 9 months wait, 9 months savings from salary saved. Just the question is, do you need to get a new TV right now, this very moment?

I lived with my dying 7 years old edge-lit light-bleeding LED TV, and I stretched that 7 years of suffering on a dying TV for a further 9 more painful months waiting for September 2021 launch of my C1 and that 9 months wait helped tremendously in saving up enough funds to get the C1.

It's not at all about having a silver spoon in your mouth, or being BN cronies, sometimes it's just all about stretching the wait time logically and planning purchase time smartly to get enough funds saved up from that time to buy a good/better TV rather than buying it now.

Not everything have to buy now. I waited a year to change the graphic card on my PC. In 2020 had to choose between getting a new GPU after 7 months wait or a new PS5. I chose the former and I end up waiting longer than a year for my PS5. Longer than anyone here who were already enjoying their PS5 as I was scrambling to get into waiting lists and F5-refreshing Sony's preorder page like a mad man. I refuse to give a single sen to scalpers. I can afford it at the time, I saved up enough with some extra, but I refuse to feed the scalpers on principle. If these scalpers see they can get away with slaughtering you by X amount of RM now, what's stopping them from slaughtering future buyers by 2X next time? What happens when that future buyer is you trying to get a PS6 in the future and people tolerate floating market prices like what's happening now? It becomes the norm, and people already accepted the wearing of mask and social distancing as the new norm. Do we want to accept padding RM500-1000 on top of MSRP as the new norm now? Where do we draw the line?

Good things comes to those who wait. It's just a matter of how you use that time you're waiting for wisely.

Agreed. 8.7K is pretty decent if they're from the reputable stores. Cursory search through Lazada & Shopee saw most of them at high 9K.

During my C1 days there were a few stores on Shopee and Lazada that were selling cheaper than the big chain ones, cheaper and got their stock earlier too. One store called Kronos location in Pahang, logo look like orange color circle. Then there's another store in Cheras. Was tempted to go with them, until the voice at the back of my head reminds me it's safer to go with the big chain stores. They stand to lose their reputation if shit hits the fan. These smaller stores with no track record can easily close shop and nobody even know if they're legit or not.

Took a look at Desa Home's current C1 55" pricing now, and it's still higher than my September 2021 launch price!

I guess my constant nagging them for the C1 stock info works, "here, take this C1, we'll throw you a good price and freebies, stop bugging us!" laugh.gif

Just kidding ya Jeanne of Desa Home, wherever you are. Love you guys <3.

Not much difference, slightly better brightness on C1 ( the same case will be between C1 and C2 later). Only difference I see is firmware & software updates, which includes better HDR tone-mapping graph.

It was unfortunate that wasn't the case for C9. Due to C9 using Chipset 018 + Switch chip to handle is Dolby Vision and high framerate video (see HDTVTest Vincent Teoh's excellent explanation here: https://youtu.be/7BjTdErfJI0 ), the C9 could not do Dolby Vision 4K120. May not matter if you're exclusively gaming only on PS5, since PS5 does not support Dolby Vision 4K120. Would only matter if you game on XSX and on RTX 3000 series cards on PC.

Either way, the CX is a good choice if you want to save up.

My personal policy is to get only up to one generation behind model if you choose to go that route. Example, forgo the C1 and go for the CX. Since it's already announced that the C2 is coming this year, I would only forgo the C2 and go for the C1. My reasoning is that, LG tend to slowly cut off support for older models once newer models are released. If there are some unforeseen defects, like the HDCP 2.2 bug as reported by Vincent again here: https://youtu.be/GI-ebazGJ4I , it will mostly take LG's priority to release fixes on more recent models. Hence why I recommend to only go back at least only one gen behind, to maintain support for updates.

If none of that matters to you, you dont care about 4K120 Dolby Vision gaming for example, and you're happy with 4K60 you can always go even cheaper by getting the A1 series OLED by LG. Careful though, they wont have 4 HDMI ports, only 3 ports, and only 4K60. Wont matter that much if you're only using PS5 or if you have an HDMI 2.0 4K60 capable AVR.

Just need to be sure you wont miss out on VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) features you wont get if you choose to go one tier down. If none of that alphabet soup means anything to you, you're probably not going to miss it. laugh.gif

ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) is thankfully included on the lower tier A1 models, because OLED panels exhibit low latency themselves by their nature of being OLED, self-lit pixels turn on and off so fast and so completely, OLED has the lowest latency out of all the TV panel technology out there. You hear the term GTG on PC monitors or standard TV panels, GTG meaning hoe fast the pixels on the panel go between gray-to-gray when switching between states, affecting latency. OLED has no GTG because pixel speed or pixel response is so fast, it's instantaneous.

Others can chime in for other TV technologies like QNED, QLED, QD-OLED, or other brand's offerings.

My ultimate endgame TV? Currently it's Samsung's 2022 Micro LED TV. But first I need to get a bigger house to fit that 89 inch behemoth (smallest size available), not to mention more saving up every month. Until then, I'm happy with my C1.

This Tv is probably around usd 100-150k. Price of more than a condo😂

With that budget I rather build a mini home theatre with proper sound system.

DV4k120 is not a die-die must have feature. You can still do HGIG 4k120, which gives you very close results to DV.

Cheap OLED TVs.....how bad could it be......right? Right?



There's only so much corners you can cut. The right move is to get in at the right feature-set and quality-set, at the right price.

What are those, you ask? That is why it's important to learn up and keep up with what technology, what feature set are included, and if it is paired correctly with the price.

In the end, it's NOT about price. Unless you're very loose when it comes to what you lose for those cheap prices.

It's a "moving target" unfortunately, due to the nature of how fast things progresses in the AV scene.

I still remember the time I was championing DTS for myself being a LFE-fan and bass-head laugh.gif, and then there was that custom assembled Samsung Mini LED nearly display 10 years ago that was either made for video billboards for high-end corporate clientele. To the point where 3 years ago Samsung Mini LED has shrunk down (from a video billboard size that is) to the size of.....a wall in your house. Purchaseable by billionaires with a fetish for all things techno-futuristic, but still not available to the common folks like us because of the price, and the power consumption (not to mention the real estate required to house a wall-size Mini LED panel).

Look where we are now? In 2022, Mini LED is now considered "Meh!" superseded by Micro LED!



Maybe by the time it becomes affordable to common folks like us, it'll be a Nano LED tech running 8K. The mind boggles.....

You may not even need a new AVR.

My AVR is only 4K60 capable. I use the eARC feature on the LG C1 to pass the audio from the C1 to the AVR via the HDMI eARC port, HDMI2 on the LG C1.

Connection-wise, it's whatever your source is, connect it to one of the 3 free HDMI ports (3 instead of 4 since one will be taken up by your AVR for audio return channel or ARC) on the C1. Make sure your AVR is connected to the HDMI port marked as the eARC HDMI port.

The idea is to leave the video data transmitted via your sources to go through the LG C1 unmolested and let the audio data return to your AVR. That way you get the full benefit of all your display is capable of, and not downgraded by the AVR. You're only letting your AVR process the audio data through the audio return channel ARC, your video remain untouched.

I used to think I need a new HDMI2.1 capable AVR. With how messy HDMI 2.1 standards now is, some AVR are marked as HDMI 2.1 but some features inherent to the 2.1 standards like ALLM and VRR are not even available, but marked as "available in future firmware update". I dont buy things based on future promises, I only get them once it is readily available and present. Since I'm only processing the audio on the AVR being pass through by the LG C1, and my AVR can already do what I need (DTS X & Dolby Atmos), I dont have to upgrade anything.

You will need to look up your own unique set of equipments to see if your situation requires anything differently.

A820 doesn't have eARC. All Yamaha receivers prior to Axx60 series despite being HDMI 2.0 receivers never received an eARC update eventhough on paper it can support it with no issues.

You can either:
1) Connect all sources to C1, use only ARC to pass audio back to the A820. By doing so, you're limited to lossy audio only.

or

2) Connect all sources to A820, you can still access lossless audio but you'll be limited to 4k60 only when connected to the C1.


My opinion, go for the 2nd route. Not like PS5 has VRR (yet) anyways and games that are 4k120 aren't really 120fps anyways.

Saw a 55" Panny JZ1000 on offer for RM6k only, that's cheapest and decent 55" OLED i can find at my local stores now

anyone using that here? I got a XsX, so I'll be able to utilize all the bells and whistles of HDMI2.1

only thing concerns me is Panny aren't exactly well known for releasing updates and patches on time, and their future OLED TVs all will be outsourced to 3rd party, seems like TCL will be handling it hmm.gif

So far all the hype and attention are on the JZ2000 series.

Very hard to find much info on the 1000 line.

Someone in my circle of friends has the JZ1000 and IIANM he was looking into upgrading due to the JZ1000 only goes up to 4K60. And he's heavy into XSX, not into PS5. And I quote him saying to me "want all the checkboxes ticked green on his XSX." I could always ask him, or ask him to come over here to describe his experience.

The JZ1000 is pretty good. I'd consider Panny models if they have a bigger presence, better distribution and stock availability. Panny also have released a proper 4K120Hz with working VRR update for their JZ series. . Better late but proper VRR than releasing a half-working VRR like Sony.

The Panny models are also the most accurate in terms of image quality, out of the box, without the need of calibration. Personally I'm not that hard into calibrating, I always add my own personal preference to the final custom user setting that results in color punchier image, hence not color accurate, not the flat PQ preferred by professional calibrators.

I use mine in a dark environment. My man cave is literally lit like a cave. Dark.
My WRGB C1 OLED can spotlight my man cave floor area enough for me to not requiring me to turn on the lights to navigate the messy cave to go take a piss outside the man cave. laugh.gif

Not sure if I need a brighter TV at the moment. Nice to have if I'm rich and I'm hanging these brighter TVs out in sunlight in the garden. *only to be stolen by opportunistic thieves* laugh.gif

Panny & Sony used to be the side to side champions when comes to displays, especially during the plasma days

a good LG TV was almost never on the competition list tongue.gif

and today, LG is the king when comes to OLED tech, and Sony & Samsung is eager to knock him off the throne with the QD-OLED
and panny? seems to be still playing in the corner with Sharp & Toshiba laugh.gif

seems with the latest updates from Panny, the JZ1000 will tick green almost all of the checkboxes in XsX, except the DV 4K120 hmm.gif

guess I'll hold my horse, and wait for C2 then

Completely agree. I hold my defunct Panny Kuro in high regards............until it is obsoleted by the OLED tech. The Kuro used to be THE perfect black display, with warm color profile that current TVs with "Filmmaker Mode" defaults to. Too bad it's a power guzzler and ....heavy as f***! Not as heavy as Trinitron tube TVs, but still......

Did you get your JZ1000 from one of the big chain stores? If it is which one?

I cant find them anymore. No signs of the 2000 series either too.....but last I scanned retail stores online listings was until September 2021, when I've confirmed my C1. No point looking at other alternatives when I've decided to go full on into a TV I've shortlisted. It's like picking a Miss Universe winner, you filter all the pros and cons down to the minute details.........until you screw up the winner's name on the envelope! laugh.gif

saw it on offer at a local SenQ store, ori price 10k discount 4k, plus i still have some points and vouchers, and a rebate from a dying plasma panny, I should be able to get it around RM5.5k or less
that's why is very tempting for me now, but knowing not seeing all checkboxes checked on my XsX, it will forever be a thorn, so am gonna skip it tongue.gif

RM5.5k is a steal for JZ1000. But it's missing the "professional edition" for Master HDR OLED panel on the JZ2000 and JZ1500 (We don't get this model here in MY). Supposedly this edition comes with a heatsink and the panel is customized by Panny engineers to deliver higher brightness as compared to JZ1000.

But since you are more into gaming, then just skip it. Otherwise, it's still a good deal to get it for watching movies.

I owned a KDL-42W654A since 2013 and used it as sub monitor and gaming tv for ps3 and ps4 (first batch) up till today, and it still works well despite of lacking the latest technology and online content features

The color tone still looks great even its just an LCDTV.

If it wasnt for 4k120Hz HDR, i wont be considering the next gen (or current gen now) upgrade.

Between Sony and Samsung, i like Sony's color profile better (more natural, not over vivid) and i dont have experience with LG yet.

So when i heard about A90K, im pretty excited, i really hope sony malaysia will launch this model in malaysia since it will most likely be built in Bangi

What an upgrade from your current 1080p TV. tongue.gif

I think A90K will most probably be available to replace A90J though I am not sure if they will bring in the 42" model. But the Sony 2022 OLED lineups still using LG displays panel. Only QD-OLED using Samsung display panel.

If it's just a small fraction of your purchase price and it would not hurt your wallet I would say go for it. I just claimed a free OLED panel for my LG 65 CX under warranty due to dead pixels. I wanted to purchase the 3 years extended warranty separately from LG official but they told me that only dealers provide this service.

Yeah, I got the same situation too. Wanted to get the extended 3 years warranty and LG told us to go back to the seller but then the seller themselves don't do it and told me to refer back to LG 🤣

Yeah bro same seller as you. Just 200 plus hours usage only. But I suspect the dead pixels might have been there since day 1. You can check my post regarding the warranty claim at the LG OLED thread.

My ultimate endgame TV?  Currently it's Samsung's 2022 Micro LED TV. But first I need to get a bigger house to fit that 89 inch behemoth (smallest size available), not to mention more saving up every month. Until then, I'm happy with my C1.

It is actually available now if you want it .

You just need to contact Samsung as they need to arrange a team to scout your house / theater room . They will then have to assemble the parts separately from Paju before they import it into MY to relocate in your home .

Since these Microled are modular based , which means the size it can fit into is flexible , as long as you are willing to pay . (The size is flexible but the resolution Pixel density remains a challenge )
Again , expect to pay at least half a million MYR for them . It may become cheaper this year but still won't be affordable to the general public .


There are still a lot of problems plaguing MicroLED , such as the " seam ' that comes from modular pieces , not able to achieve the advertised brightness and black levels still leave a lot to desire compare to OLED .
If you expect Samsung to solve all of these problems in their 2022 edition while they are focusing on Quantum Dots Blue OLEDs , it is going to take a miracle .

4K60 at purchase a year back.

With the recent November 2021 firmware update, enables the 4K120 but still no 4K120 with Dolby Vision, only 4K60 if still want to do DV. 4K120 DV is not possible due to hardware limitation.

https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subac...l&id=1637751601

As for MicroLED dream, it remains that..... A dream. Need Bitcoin to hit a million bucks for me to afford it. I still keep up with the tech, even if I cant afford it.

Has JZ1000 been released for a year ? It was available in MY since late November and late September 2021 in UK .

The MY unit supports 4k 120 out of the box , I was in Panasonic's Subang warehouse and is one of the first person who tested the batch , using a Murideo 7G .




4K120 dv doesn't bother me and should not bother you either , since no games or movies runs at that resolution and fps natively beside the 2 DV demo atm .

I'm only taking his word for it. I dont question when he got his JZ1000 nor am I being anal about the details. I'm into LG, he's into Panasonics.

It's more about him getting all the checkboxes in his XSX ticked off, including the 4K120 DV.

Not that it matters in this thread here, since PS5 doesn't do Dolby Vision and even less games on PS5 does 4K120 at the moment.

I'm ready for DV Gaming, should more games pick up the standard. The movement will begin first in the console space before trickling down to PC. Such as the three Battlefields (BF1, BF4, BF5) supports 4K120 with DV on XSX. Not my choice of games though. On PC, past Nvidia drivers used to support Dolby Vision, before they pulled it back from recent version of drivers. Games like Mass Effect Andromeda and NFS Heat on PC used to support 4K120 DV. Not with recent drivers. PC gamers pushing for drivers with more framerates over visual fidelity killed that.

Looks like I spoke too soon when I said earlier about no PS5 games running at 120fps, Uncharted Thief's Legacy Collection PS5 upgraded version does run at 120fps, albeit 1080p120fps on Performance+ mode, still not 4K120. Either way, My 10USD is ready this Friday for the upgrade. And I'm still waiting to get the same collection on PC when it releases, for the real 4K120.

Top up a bit can? Get 55" Sony X90J. Try and scout for good deals. You should be able to get below RM4K.

Like what Kahlamx suggested, save a bit more and get a better TV. Currently X90J 55" is in the 4299 range or lower. Wait for promos

Looks like I spoke too soon when I said earlier about no PS5 games running at 120fps,  Uncharted Thief's Legacy Collection PS5 upgraded version does run at 120fps, albeit 1080p120fps on Performance+ mode, still not 4K120. Either way, My 10USD is ready this Friday for the upgrade. And I'm still waiting to get the same collection on PC when it releases, for the real 4K120.

Update to this. The USD10 upgrade to PS5 version is now online. Playing now. Fidelity at 4K30, Performance at 1440p60, Performance+ at 1080p120.

I tried Performance+, if I come from PS4 non Pro version, I'd be happy with the image quality, but I've been long spoiled by 4K120 on my PC, so I'm going to stick to either Fidelity or Performance mode.

In my case, used almost 10-12 hours on weekends, 5-6 hours on weekdays. Used for movies, for console gaming, and the most punishing? As PC monitor for my "Switch PC". Zero burn in. Bright and vibrant as the day it arrived last year September.

Looks like I will be shopping for a 2022 model as my LG C7 OLED is dead. With the panel replacement costs, its essentially the price of a new TV.

Any LED models that would be worth looking out for?

Cant go wrong with the C2. I cant say for long term review since I only got my C1 since last year September, but it has been a champ for me so far. I'm using it to watch streaming content, gaming with my consoles, and as my PC monitor. The PC monitor part should worry most OLED users, as the danger of burn in is more prevalent over static images, and PC desktop has tons of static image elements, no burn-in so far. The C1 cleverly shifts static element of images ever so slightly to combat burn-ins. And there's also auto-dimming and manual "pixel cleaning" you can initiate yourself. The C1 IIANM has a built in schedule of mandatory pixel cleaning once it hits 3000hrs of usage.

I guess it's a coincidence you mentioned your C7 which was released in 2017. Vincent had good luck with his 2017 OLED until now, no burn-in.

I doubt I will go back to OLED TBH. Putting the burn in risk aside (which I am pretty sure is much better in the newer models), I have an issue where my TV is simply not bright enough as my living room has a lot of sun light. During day time, its almost impossible to watch without pulling the curtains. I prefer to go back to LED with high brightness.

My C7 already had slight burn in signs in beginning of 2021. Initially it was only 2 small logos which I could live with, but as you can see from the pictures, the degradation has been quite bad since then, in the middle part of the TV, and its not watchable now.

I wish you godspeed and good luck with your future TV purchase. The only way I'd return back to LED, is when MicroLED TVs are mainstream enough in price and market penetration. Will take sometime. I'm the opposite of your case, I've been burned (pun intended) by edge-lighted 4K LED TV I had since 2017 (coincidental again?) the Samsung JS8000, that the light bleed off the edge was so horrible, that it's almost like a terrible lighted border around the TV, the edge started to expand and the borders peeling off due to uneven heat from the edge-lighted LED before I got rid of it and went for the C1.

We all have our biases after terrible things happened to us, I suppose.

I can't speak for others, but I really like Samsung's QLED and Neo QLED (mini LED) TVs. I actually own a Q80T (2020) and QN85A (2021). Both have full array local dimming, and they support HDMI 2.1 too. Only two ports are HDMI 2.1 spec though. Another gimmick they have is Samsung's Q-Symphony, where if you have one of Samsung's supported soundbars, you can combine the TV and soundbar to output sound together. It still can't beat a true surround setup, but it sounds better than if you just use the soundbar. Oh and they are brighter than OLEDs too.

Yeah based on the 2022 initial models, Depending on the final specs and price, I am considering between the Samsung QN90B or the Sony X90K. Of course Samsung would be the better TV at a higher price point, but will need to see the price gap and whether the additional performance is worth the money. Sound wise is not an issue as I am using bookshelf speakers that have optical and HDMI. I'm using a universal remote, so i don't really need the HDMI Syncing features.

For some reason Sony TVs are horribly priced in Singapore compared to Malaysia. Their X90 series are priced in the same region as LG OLEDs and Samsung Neo QLED which makes it a no brainer.

Are you in Singapore? Is the Sony X90K the replacement model for the X90J? I also bought a Sony X90J for my sister, and I personally think the Samsung QLED and Neo QLED are the better TVs. Better peak brightness, image quality and HDMI 2.1 implementation. The X90J is a Google TV though (rebranded from Android naming), so app support is significantly better. Disney+ is not available on the Samsung app store for example. So if you need to use the Disney+ TV app, and don't have any other means to watch Disney+, then you're SOL. I have the Unifi Ultra box, so at least I'm covered.

Yeah, the 65 X90J is around 2.3-2.4k sgd , that’s the price last month. I follow Hardwarezone sg display thread and I am so surprise to see the insane price for just a midrange LED tv. 😂

SG side has the X95J also. We don’t have this model in MY.

My understanding is that Samsung TV always don’t track PQ EOTF 1:1 accurately. Normally their TVs always over brighten and black floor level also raised.

I still would want to own one of the QN90 series though if the smaller sizes are VA in Malaysia side.

X90K is the successor to X90J for 2022. Based on the Rtings review, the Neo QLED are definitely better than X90. But the thing is, Neo QLED should at the same time be much more expensive than X90, but the pricing in Singapore does not reflect that. Which is why I said Sony's pricing in Singapore is way off. At the Singapore X90 pricing, its competing against LG OLED and Neo QLED

I don't really care about Google TV, or any TV software for that matter, since I am using an Nvidia shield.

I won't dispute that. Samsung likes their picture to look very saturated, often making it look unnatural. Having said that, I like that the TV can go for that brighter look if you prefer. You can always tweak the settings to your liking. For gaming though, they are great. None of that response lag if using VRR or ALLM. I just wish Samsung would support Dolby Vision someday.

Yup absolutely insane price. You can get an LG C1 for 2550 - 2650, maybe even lower once C2 come out. I believe Samsung QN90A is around the same range. If you are based in Singapore and already looking at high end TV around S$2500, the few hundred dollars price difference is nothing, might as well go for the better TV. If the X90J was priced below 2000, then there is a comparison to be made.

Holy shit. The X90J / X90K, for the price I paid, is nice enough to own, since it's HDMI 2.1 capable. Basically it's ok for what you're paying. Pricing it to LG OLED and the Samsung Neo QLEDs level isn't doing it any favors. Did their marketing guys confuse it with their A90J / A90K or what?

No. The a90j and k is priced even higher …. I cannot believe my eye when I saw sony price in Malaysia is so cheap. The price discrepancy between sg and my for other brand is not as much, at most 10-15% more ex in sg. Sony is the exception.

Then let's just call it the "Sony tax" or some shit. It's expensive just for the fact it's a Sony. Reminds me when I wanted a Sony Wega no matter what, even if there are similiar alternatives like Panasonic Tau. It was like a full 1K difference.

Their models in 2020 seem to have " fixed " that .


It was following EOTF's standard much better than previous years which is why I compare it against Hisense's TV .

His Samsung TV review is sponsored by 3rd party , Samsung has no say in the matter .

Unless you are referring to that time where Samsung was inviting media to closed door event , like the QD OLED showcase , in which case Samsung was deliberately trying to show how saturated their QD Blue OLEDs can be , compare to wRGB OLED .

Regardless it was a logical choice because it wasn't a competition of accuracy like TV shoutouts , it was a comparison of color volume / saturation .

The Malaysia edition of U7G has a peak brightness of 400 nits - 600 nits , far cry from the 1000 nits U7G reviewed by rtings .


Sony's X90H and X90J are still dominating the Mid Tier market , in terms of $ vs performance .

Sony's X90H and X90J are still dominating the Mid Tier market , in terms of $ vs performance .

Hisense U7H any good?

I'm using 85" 4K TCL T7E which is is true 144hz with VRR and ALLM. Loving it but I'm playing only in PSVR2 now as GT7 is just too awesome in VR and I just can't stop playing it!

I have never used a Prism+ TV, but I once talked to one of the staff at Prism+ Sunway Pyramid. I was asking him about the TV capabilities, like VRR, HDR etc. He couldn't answer some of the questions directly, but he said I can bring my console or PC to test it at the shop. So that I can test out and see for myself. You could try bringing your PS5 to the shop and test it yourself.

My ancient LG OLED E6 also no problems with both PS5 and Xbox Series X. Sure no 4K120 and VRR support, but 4K60 is good enough for most games.

No need to think so much. If purely for gaming, just go for lg c/g series. 4 HDMI 2.1 max bandwidth. You can go all in at the same time, such as using ps5, xbox, PC, plus e-arc speaker. All 4 ports full power simultaneously. Only LG provides 4 hdmi 2.1. If you are gamer, this is the way. End of story.

Since the c3/g3 series are out, now is the good time to buy the old model c2/g2. Just grab one before the stock habis.

But if you also using the tv for movies/dramas, then that's another story to tell.

Add on/ Summary:

LG C/G 2 & 3 series -

1) 4x hdmi 2.1 ports including 1x eArc - 48Gbps
2) Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support
3) VRR support
4) OLED !!
5) Game mode

Samsung these years also quite catch up with almost everything above except Dolby Vision and HDMI 2.1 comes with 40Gbps (S90C model).

Anyway, PS5 gaming has no support DV at all and hdmi 2.1 port limited/capped to 32Gbps so still can ignore.

Price wise, go for LG C series if budget allow biggrin.gif

Samsung Neo QLED TVs (and specific QLED TVs) starting from 2022 also has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. I have a 2021 Neo QLED, which still had only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. Then I bought a 2023 model, and this time all 4 ports are HDMI 2.1.

But still need to check model's specification cause not all are full HP (RPG game term) as compare to LG's C / G series

For safe and future proof, LG C/G series basically = Full HP

Just sharing, I got the Hisense U7K 65" for my PS5, after suffering for almost a year playing it on LG 49" (not 4K).

It's been a month now, and not a single regret. With 144Hz and ALLM, games like HFW and Spiderman 2 were stunning.

Colors and HDR are great. Didn't like VIDAA OS at first because got some limitation on their app, e.g. Disney+ not available, but just recently updated the OS and BAMMM. Disney+ sudah ada.

Not to mention with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, watching the recent Yu Yu Hakusho had me a mini-orgasm on ep.2.

Overall experience I would rate a 9.5/10.

Am thinking to upgrade my parents' home TV to U7k also.
Seems like a great value too.
