Hi, I am also looking for a new TV to replace an old one at home.
Currently I am using a 12+ yr old Philips's LCD and a 7+ yo Panasonic Viera.

My budget is around 6k and having read reviews for the past few days, I am leaning on Sony X90H.

My question is, is it worth it to consider a 55' LG BX series (same price range) or CX series (add 1k)? Looking at Rting, both OLED scored much better.

I will be mainly using the TV for streaming, unifi box and android box.

I just started my research and oh boy, there is so much to read...very pening! I'm not in a rush so i'll keep narrowing down my options.

My goal :65 - 75 inch TV

OLED, dont think I can afford it, for 65 inch and above.

Still need to check some reviews and see what if the best model I can get.

Max budget is RM8k. Plus minus 500.

I would like it to last me at least 10 years.

Honestly, I don’t think any tv will last you the full 10 years without major degradation.

OLEDs will probably degrade faster than LCDs, so choose LCD if you want long life. Having said that, my old budget Samsung LCD lasted about 7 years before the screen started to lose brightness. It happened over large areas of the screen - all colors seem to fade to white.

That pretty much applies for all electronics really....7 years max life...spending more money doesn’t solve that by the way....

sounds good to me, but I do not really have any experience with a display set before. However, I read that LED TV should be good for 7-10 yrs with heavy use. And with the 5 yr wrty, it should at least give you 5 yrs worry free.

I have a dilemma, if the price is not an issue, which TV should I choose, a Sony X9000H or Samsung QLED Q80T?

Went for a demo yesterday, the Q80T look super Vivid and very sharp while the Sony is a bit more natural.
I cant really see the greatness of what the review is talking all about. It looks decent to me.

I know it will be down to personal preference. Previously I have set my mind on the Sony but the Samsung do stand out. And now I am really confuse.

Should I just go with Q80T?

My panasonic plasma > 10years still kicking. So far sharp and panasonic LED 3 years without issue. I think Sony with 5 year warranty should be ok. Worry those problem just appear straight after stdard 2 years warranty.

For Q80T, just go for it is u got the budget. For me Q80T is better but my pocket not deep enough.

At the very least, try watch both TVs in their more accurate setting. Like both on Cinema mode or both on ISF mode etc

Me using Sony Bravia 8000 been enjoying it since day 1, good screen since is IPS so very wide angle of viewing without colour shift,

Dont go for VA if you have wide viewer VA has very limited viewing angle....

Android TV the best been... already cut Astro now Netflix and other streaming...

The recently released new Apple TV app is not available for Sony TV, they have their own Apple TV app which need Sony to release firmware update to support the Apple's DRM.

You can sideload the new app & login but can't play the content. It will give DRM error..

Only some Sony TV 2017 & newer model that has received firmware update in 2021 but didn't receive the Apple TV able to use the new Apple TV app by sideload.

Here's how to differentiate the apps:-
Apple TV - Google TV & Android TV
Package name: com.apple.atve.androidtv.appletv

Apple TV - Sony TV(Google TV & Android TV)
Package name: com.apple.atve.sony.appletv

bought entry level 65" TCL P715 . (around 2.4k after shopee cashback)

- android tv 9, works well , with disney+ on playstore
- basically, i'm juz looking for a basic 4k android to replace 10yr plasma which dieded
- no complaints, off course , my first 4k tv, everything looks better. i do know some of the technical terms on TV definition, but i'm not into digging in them knowing this is a entry level
- i did consider mi 4s, but due to region variation, no official warranty, i backed off.
