so after 3 days of scouting and visiting almost all major electronics retailers in kl, i have narrowed down and also not in peace with my selection. Hope to get some clarity, advice or point me in the correct direction from the sifu's here.

previous model: Toshiba 50" LED (50L2300VM)
Manufacture Year: 2013
Problem Year: 2021 (double image)
To check: RM 150
To repair: RM 500 - 700 quoted by local repair shop - suspect ribbon problem or something. (no panel problem)
To usage years: 8 years

Decided to look for new TV.

Usage requirements:

1. Astro 4K
2. Online streaming
3. unifi Tv
4. Bluray
5. TV is the only source of entertainment in my family.
6. I love watching movies.
7. My viewing distance: 11 feet
8. My parents viewing distance: 23 feet
9. Daytime light is a lot

Specification requirements:

1. 65"
2. 4K native
3. HDR
4. Dolby Audio

Not sure:
1. HDR - 500 nits and above?
2. Dolby Vision?
3. Dolby Atmos?
4. VA/IPS Panel?
5. Get now or wait?
6. 55"/65"/75"
7. of course budget is the deciding factor but to make it simple i cant afford oled price tag of 5 digits. sadly.

From my survey:

1. Samsung 65TU8000 - RM 3,380
2. Samsung 65TU8500 - RM 3,640
3. Sony X8000 - RM 3,860
4. Sony X9000 - RM 6,000 ( bangwall.gif )
5. LG 65UN7400 - RM 3,550

Other brands not surveyed.

Currently learning towards 65TU8500 but the kicker kicked in last minute which was a 75" taking a blind swipe at me and throwing me off focused.
Not satisfied or at peace with all the picture qualities based on my survey.

Kicker:

while chatting up with all retailers, i found some retailers offering a 75" LG - 75UN7200 that retails RM 8K at RM 6.6K.
The lowest  managed to chat up is for that 75" is RM 5,600(seems to be the best thus far in terms of offerings compared to any other retailers out there.)
That threw me off focused a bit.
Harvey norman comes in no. 2 with the so called focus campaign where they are offering Samsung TU7000-TU8500 at a good price.

Take note all retailers have their own extended warranty that i need to top up(senheng + 1 year free, others + 2/3 years paid)

So yeah....i hope i haven't missed anything.

The reason i am posting here is my undecisiveness and the "WANT" of having the best movie affordable movie experience.
I know "best" and "affordable" doesn't sit in the same sentence, i guess i am just looking for a reassurance from someone to nail the hammer on the coffin.

appreciate your kind assistance or advice on this matter,

Thank you.

im surveying for a new tv for my new house as well.
based on my current research,
from urs and ur parents viewing distance,
65 inch is a bit too small.
better go for 75 inch and above.
for living room i think x90h series should be quite nice for you.
go for samsung or lg lcd only if budget is ur concern.
go for OLED only if u r viewing in a completely dark room.

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.

for dark room like bedroom go for OLED.
for bright room like living room i think X90 series
