" Very good " eh ? How convenient .

Why are we not seeing your casual video review spams again ?
Perhaps you forgot to post one ?

Let me remind you .




Let's see , exactly which part did your favorite TV review mentioned " very good " again ?

All I am hearing is mostly " not on par with the other Notable brands " .

Not an owner so I can't really help you with the specifics.

1) What about it that's not working though? No sound at all?

On some TVs, in the Audio settings, you need to tell it to send audio via optical. When you do that, you will not get sound from the TV speakers. On my old LG TV, there's three settings - TV speakers, optical out and then another optical out - I forgot the name of the settings. Only one of the two optical settings output proper 5.1 passthrough. The other would only do so in stereo.

By the way, have you tried the optical input on your Edifier with a CD/DVD/Playstation 3/4?

2) There are many BT standards before we got BT to 5.0. Even then, not all implementations are the same. The bad ones show lag. Unless there is some BT settings on the TV, I'm afraid you're out of luck there.


Wow. A display set of the U800QF. That usually means they are getting ready to bring in the new models. Which means the U7G is on the way. While I wouldn't buy a display set TV, that's a pretty good deal especially since you have that warranty.

The thing that brings me back to the U800QF - because Malaysia is not gettting the U8G - instead of the U7G is the peak brightness. The U7G measured about 685 nits, according to the Thai review. The U800QF had 1,235 nits according to the same review. For HDR and Dolby Vision content, that is important.



There are pros and cons in everything. For its price, size and feature set, it still can't be beat. But I still want the U8G.

By the way, did Hisense update VIDAA and add Disney+ Hotstar?

1) Yeah, no sound at all. Tried another cable also same. Also cant be sure speaker optical problem or tv. I dont have PlayStation.

2) Tried the receiver with my phone and it works just fine. I also tried another Edifier speaker with bluetooth and it works without stutter. Annoying... but what can I do. I still had another cheaper version of receiver... havent tried that yet.

It doesn't have to be a Playstation. It can be a CD or DVD player. The optical standard would be the same.

Stuttering could mean either the TV's BT antenna is not transmitting consistent signal or something about the RAM or CPU that's broken. If you have a BT head/earphones, you can try connecting them to the TV. See if the stuttering is there. If it is still there, then it's the TV.

Another day, another "what the **** is Hisense Malaysia doing?" Or not doing.

So the tired, monthly day-month sale is coming to online shops in Malaysia. For 8.8, Hisense Malaysia is doing nothing. Hisense Thailand, on Shopee, is having an 8.8 sale. Like a real sale.



The newly launched 65" U7G is going for ฿25,290 or RM3,247.



The newly launched 65" U8G is going for ฿33,690 or RM4,325. EDIT: Changed U7G to U8G here.

Hisense Thailand is putting Hisense Malaysia to shame.

Anybody knows anybody who lives near the Malaysian-Thailand border?

Most of the Hisense Malaysia sales department employees are aunties uncles and they're like "wtf is HDMI 2.1? is that a chocolate bar?"

Here's the U8G you can buy in Malaysia:

https://www.ubuy.com.my/en/product/L222HJNQ...t-tv-2021-model

UBuy is a freight forwarding company. They don't have a store or a presence in Malaysia. Also for RM11,000 that they charge, I could just buy an OLED here.

The U8G costs $1,250. Even if UBuy is located in California, where the sales tax is 7.25, that's $1,340 which is RM5,652. FedEx is going to charge them $1000 to ship it to Malaysia?

It is just unfortunate that Thais can buy a pretty good version of the U8G for a very good price (right now) and we cannot.

yeah its sad we dont get the U8G here. i was looking at the U7G and Hisense quoted me this:
"The selling price of this model 55” is RM4,399 and 65” is RM5,999, but do note that the prices may be vary from stores to stores"

And this is for the U7G 55" model.Stocks will only be available at the end of August.

So now im thinking, should i wait for this or maybe get the Sony X80J/ X90J series?

The X80s doesn't have local dimming. The 90s have local dimming. 65" X90J costs RM7,000. Both models are Android based.

It depends on your requirements - space, budget, features. The Hisense U8G and U800QF are the best 65" model for the features at RM5,000 price level - full array local dimming, 1000+ nits brightness, Quantum Dot with wide color gamut, VA panel and Dolby Vision. You do need to fork out RM220-RM700 for an Android player - Tivo 4K or NVidia Shield - for all the Android features you want.

If Hisense Malaysia had competitively priced the U7G and the U8G, these TVs would be a big hit. If the models could be changed to Android, it would be a really big hit.

I've compared how Hisense Thai do their marketing on Facebook vs how Hisense Malaysia is doing theirs. Clearly they know how to sell while the Malaysian one is slowly opening a Hisense Museum.

To frustratingly reiterate my point, Hisense Thailand has an 8.8 sale of RM3,247 for the 65" U7G and RM4,325 for the 65" U8G. Feature for feature, you can't beat that price.

Agreed. Disappointing Hisense Msia.
Both models dont have Android & running on their own VIDAA OS.

Im looking at the 55" variant cause 65" is too big for my space. Samsung is really expensive & the U8G seems to the bang for buck.
Sony - well i dont know what to choose...

Well to be fair to Hisense Malaysia on this particular point, the blame for VIDAA is solely on Hisense HQ. North American models come with Android. They should have made the 2021 U series all Android worldwide.

If 65" is too big, then you've locked down one requirement.

The next is the budget and features. Unless you can import the 55" U8G, you won't be getting 1000+ nits brightness from I think most TVs out there at that price point. So then you're working with 700-900 nit brightness TVs.

Sony X90J: Android. FALD. Dolby Vision. VA Panel. 120 Hz panel.
Sony X80J: Android. Dolby Vision. ADS IPS Panel. 60 Hz panel.
Hisense U7G: FALD. Quantum Dot. Dolby Vision. Va Panel. 120 Hz panel.

Once you choose what features that's important, you'll find your TV. Hopefully it'll fit your budget.

Just realized that the model in Malaysia does not have HDMI 2.1..its all 2.0 - dang!
Now im back to square one on choosing a TV

HDMI 2.0 can do eARC and VRR. HDMI 2.1 can do 8K, 4K 120 Hz with HDR and ALLM. If your use case needs HDMI 2.1, then you need to do another research. Otherwise, HDMI 2.0 is good enough.

Ahhh.. Ok.. I am looking for the 2.1..seems like I need to look at either Samsung or Sony models..

Hi,
Browsing thru shopee these few days. So many models of hisense and I’m not sure which model is later. So confused.
Anyways I’m looking for 65” 4K and can watch Netflix in Dolby mode. Budget 3k below. Can recommend pls?

This is the Hisense TV product page. The New banner should tell you which models are the new ones.

Lots of TVs from TCL, Hisense, Philips, LG and Sony to choose from with your requirement. You should add Android to that, if you want Disney + Hotstar.

Other than that, I can't recommend anything because picture quality is something to be seen, not read. I don't review TVs professionally. I certainly have not seen the latest TVs at the shops this year.

Choose based on your space requirement, your budget, the features you want and your use case.

Waiting patiently to pull the trigger on 9.9 for the 65 U800QF if the price is right.

It's possible but I wouldn't hold my breath. Most Malaysian retailers are really bad at these #.# sales. As I pointed out before, during the 8.8 sales in Thailand, Hisense Thailand actually offered their U8G and U7G 50% discounts. Malaysian retailers offered a pittance of price cuts, like RM50 or RM100 for items over RM3,000.

I think if you really want a deal for the the U800QF, buy at Harvey Norman, Jaya Jusco or other retailers. Hisense Malaysia says that if you buy retail, you get 3-year warranty instead of 2 if you buy online. They would try selling it at the store for RM5,000 so you need to haggle it down to RM4.700.

EDIT: Try this seller on Shopee but be sure you chat with them first about the U800QF.

You are resourceful. Decent Malaysia pricing for the 65 U800. I didnt realise its only a 60Hz panel until i saw your previous post. Might be a letdown and need to demo the set first.
