Size?

Forgot to mention. 55'.

I believe so. The 55" U7G at the beginning sold at around RM3,000 and then went down to RM2,800. So RM100 saving.

The 65" initially sold at, through one dealer on Shopee/Lazada, at RM3,800. Then perhaps due to Malaysia's plunging Ringgit, it went up to RM4,200. Now I have seen a seller in Johor selling it for RM4,000. So a saving of RM200.


For those in JB or nearby, or are just willing to drive in their own vans: Get TCL's 735 or 835 from Singapore instead. A bit of a hassle and pricier for the 835, but these two are a lot better than 2021/2022 models. And they are running on Android too. Don't know why TCL Malaysia haven't launched it yet.

I have a Hisense 75” 4k which I sold off because the black is disappointing. Hisense use ips panel so the black level and contrast is really not that good. Once I off the light, I can see that the black is not black at all and it’s grey.

I just bought a 85” TCL from China and I haven’t install it yet. TCL uses VA panel which have better black and higher contrast.

For me personally, I would avoid ips panel lcd tv

That's a blanket statement. Not all Sony, LG, Panasonic or Samsung TVs use VA panels. Panel usage is dependent on the product tier (low, mid or high-end), locality and year. International and US models of 65" U7G and U8G are VA. International U7H are ADS/IPS, sadly.

So buyers, do your research.

True. I did check a few 85” Hisense model in china and unfortunately they all use ips panel. That’s why I decided to go for the TCL 85T7E which uses VA panel.



I won’t buy TV in Malaysia anymore because it’s so much cheaper in china. My previous 75” Hisense I bought in china for RM2600 only including shipping

Hi. Anybody using 43" E6G? thinking to buy for rumah sewa use coz it is cheap and cheerful.

Is Hisense 55U7G a good buy under 3k? Or any good tv to recommend for that price range

Do you know if 55U7G panel VA or IPS? US model is VA but not sure about Malaysia one.

It's about the features you want at the price you can afford.

As far as I know at RM3,000, the 55" U7G gives a FALD screen, VA panel, Dolby Vision enabled, Netflix certified TV. Cons are it's using VIDAA OS and 8-bit panel. To be fair, no manufacturer gives you 10-bit, 120Hz panel, FALD, VA panel, Android 55" TV at RM3,000. This is why Hisense is in the budget category (though they gave these feature set, minus 10-bit, to North American market). The features in bold are premium features. And for this year onwards, mini LED is another premium feature.

If you main watch streaming services and don't mind gaming at 60Hz, the U7G is that TV for your price point. You should buy a Tivo Stream 4K as a Netflix certified, Dolby Vision certified Android box to supplement your streaming needs though.

I posted about LCDTV Thailand's review of the U7G last year. Short answer, VA.

Ok noted. Thanks again 🙏🏻😄.

Lucky I stumbled on this thread. Was going order a 65U7G for it popular reviews online. The missing HDMI 2.1 (120Hz) port for Malaysia market is really a let down unfortunately.

It's not just about the 2.1 port. If the panel itself is not 120 Hz panel, having HDMI 2.1 is a moot point. Since it's 2022, if you intend on gaming at 120 Hz, go with TCL's C835 based on Vincent Teoh's recommendation. You just have to travel to SG or TH to buy it.

Haha, no thanks. The price increase for household appliances is annoying.
