I was waiting for Sony 55” X90H for a few months and it was always out of stock. Best price I can find is $3,599. Main reasons are good review of picture quality and was rated top reliability in some US surveys.

Note: My LG got panel problem only after 2 years watching right after warranty period expired. Cost 1k++ to fix and decided to forget about fixing. Nowadays TV start having problems within 2 to 3 years. This is according to TCL technician. You should consider buying extended insurance if you decided to buy expensive TV.

Saw a review on brand reliability and came to conclusion that the higher price you paid, the more reliable the TV. So much for brand reliability... OLED basically top rated in term of reliability (paying top dollar also) regardless of which brand (top end Samsung QLED models included). Simple logic: more money you paid, more QC/QA will be done by the brand.

Main reason I bought TCL QLED 55” is the pricing: RM2,933 + 10% Shopee coins.

TCL Service took back the TV to fix due to slightly bend/curve screen... Hmm... should have bought the Sony instead.

After using Android TV for while, there is no going back to LG... LG/Samsung are just too restrictive like using iPhone. Now that I had jailbroken and saw no reason to be back to jail again...

I think my 65 inch is also slightly curve on the top. Just received it today. There is a gap when I run a thread from both ends of the tv.

Hi All,
Finally got my ASTRO-DISNEY+ ID activated yesterday evening, app felt bit more lag compare to Netflix, more buffering time as well.

I tried to play a 4K HDR or Dolby Vision movie, can't get the HDR/DB Vision icon pop up on the top left corner (like Netflix), did any sifu got the same issue like mine, and how to fix??

Best regards,

Happy owner of 65C716  cool2.gif

My Disney+ can run Dolby Vision smoothly with 800Mbps Unifi.

Copied "update.img" on USB ? You Off TV first ?
Try other USB.

Managed to upgrade successfully after re-downloading the IMG.
So far working well with Dolby Vision/Atmos on Netflix.
