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.

Just pulled the trigger on a display set 65U800QF from Harvey Norman. This stock from January 2021, but considering the months of shutdown, I figured not too bad. Looks great and no physical defects to note. Only thing is no box, but not a big deal for me.

Price was RM4,2xx with free 5 years warranty and delivery in KV.

Was tempted to get the 55-inch Sony X90J for around RM3xx more, but would have had to top up another RM8xx to match the 5 years warranty period. The 65-inch X90J was expectedly gorgeous, but out of my current budget.

Also considered the TCL C716 for slightly cheaper, but U800 has FLAD and a much higher peak brightness. In the end the other major difference for users is Vidaa vs Android TV. Either way doesn't matter at all to me, I'm hooking it up to an nVidia Shield TV Pro (2019).

U7G was also in consideration, but the Malaysian model is lacking a bit with no HDMI 2.1 and no 120Hz panel. Peak brightness is also worse than the U800.

Hope I've made the right decision to last for a few years. Should be arriving tomorrow, excited to experience my first 4K TV

I think if I had more budget, I would have gone for the 65-inch X90J. On paper and in person, without question it is the better TV. At that price point might also top up a bit to get OLED, but for me OLED not viable with my TV placement beside sliding door and balcony, so brightness will be an issue during the daytime.

The only worrying aspect for U800 is reports of the backlight shutting down in really dim scenes (resulting in a black screen), as well as reports of motion issues. Will have to wait and see when my unit arrives.

Hello. TV was delivered yday evening and I have set it up on my TV console (Ikea Besta with Ikea Uppleva mount). Some first impressions :

1) 65-inch is incredibly big! Viewing distance is about 2.5 meters. Will take some time to get used to, but it's nice to be this immersed into the content. Context, I was coming from a basic LG 43-inch Full HD TV from 2016. This is a massive step up in size and everything else.

2) IT LOOKS AWESOME! I mean, I might not have the sharpest eyes to detect blooming, ghosting, motion blurs and all that. I'm also not the kind of person to throw up a bunch of test videos on this TV to find its flaws. I plugged it in, and straight away started to enjoy my usual content on Netflix, Plex, and Youtube. It's an incredibly enjoyable experience IMO.

3) HDR content really pops! The screen gets really bright to the point that gun muzzle flashes (sp?) and things like lightning get shockingly bright. Never having had a HDR TV before, I don't have anything to compare to. Regardless, I'm impressed by the dynamic range it is able to display in the shadows and highlights.

4) Full-array local dimming is great. I've been watching Night on Earth (Netflix) a lot, and the effect is just stunning, even with the subtitles on. Shots with the lit moon on one half of the screen and complete darkness on the other blows my mind away. Even when subtitles are on, I have not noticed issues with blooming around the text, at least not to my untrained eyes. The black levels really impress me, and I'm not sure it gets much better than this other than going full OLED.

5) Motion is a bit iffy with some settings. With smooth motion disabled, motion is quite juddery and stuttery. I also notice it sometimes struggling a bit with dark areas. I have played around with it, and so far am settling with the 'Film' setting, and it seems to have fixed those issues. 'Smooth' is a bit too buttery and Soap Opera for me, and I don't like it (maybe later for football or F1), but definitely not movies and shows. I will continue to experiment with this, but so far I am happy with 'Film'.

6) Speakers are okay, better than most TVs, but definitely more garbage than any average sound bar. Doesn't matter to me, I don't use the TV speakers at all other than the initial testing while the TV was set on the floor.
Overall, I am really surprisingly impressed by this TV. It looked great in the store, but I feel it looks even better at home. Even watching 1080p content is really enjoyable (mind you, I am using the upscaling from my nVidia Shield Pro 2019, so it might just be the Shield's excellent upscaling). For the price I paid, I am really happy with it. No TV is perfect, and this one certainly is not either, but the price-to-performance ratio hits the sweet spot for me

Got my u7g yesterday. Don't know how to review but from my inexperienced eyes, this tv really great. Its way better than my 5 years old full hd tv (also hisense).
Can't comment much on the image quality compare to other 4k tv since this is my 1st 4k tv. Vidaa os is ok and pretty smooth. I don't like that I can't remove preinstall apps. Too much useless apps for me. If someone know how yo remove the apps, please comment.
For gaming, this tv also support vrr and dolby vision for gaming. I'm using xbox series s.
