Looking at these 3 models, since all are around the same price (<5,000). My place is relatively small. Only about 2.8 metres from head distance on sofa to TV.
Any recommendation? 55" X85L 65" X80L 75" X77L (this cost RM300 more than the other 2)
The 55" X85L comes with full Array LED. Is it worth to go smaller just for this feature?
Not much gaming. Mainly TV and Movies (streaming)

Mainly TV and Movies (streaming) I own an X90K, a full-array LED TV, and I wouldn't consider switching to a TV without local dimming. In response to your query, yes, it's definitely worth it to get the X85L. Nevertheless, opting for a 65-inch TV would be a more suitable decision given your distance of 2.8 meters.

For those with Sony tv, is the following available on your tv for configuration? https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00176514I can’t find the above option in my a80l.

Thinking to get ethernet adapter for my Sony TV KD-X85L. USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter can be used and only RTL8153 chipset compatible instead of AX88179 chipset. There are plenty of RTL8153 chipset Ethernet Network Adapter from cheap around RM20 up to TP-link UE300 more than RM80. Anyone using those cheap but reliable one? Or must go for brand one?

There’s already an Ethernet input on the TV, isn’t it?

UE300 works on Sony, the rest not too sure... theoretically should work.

Unifi 800mbps? same as my package. Good to know. Yes found out also UE330 work from reddit and that got extra USB ports to use from this. I think I better not take risk and stick to TP-Link despite found out some generic RTL8153 chipset USB to Ethernet Network Adapter but not sure workable not to TV.
