Currently I have one dedicated power line pull from switch box (both live and neutral line isolated by power ON/OFF switch) and fetch to my 5KVA Auto transformer / automatic voltage stabilizer regulated to 220VAC +/- 2% for all my Audio Video equipment which includes OLED TV, AV Home Theater, Audio system (stereo amplifier, pre-amplifier, DAC, DDC, OCK generator and etc). Hopefully together with 2 units of the surge protectors, they are all well protected from the incoming AC 232 - 246 V fluctuation as well as thunderstorm. I also cut the incoming supply OFF during thunderstorm or nobody at home whenever possible.

Too much risk if I am not doing anything to protect my investment.

Of course X90L because of XR engine.

Probably due to hardware not supporting Dolby Vision format due to Dolby licensing policies.

Similarly Samsung smart TVs do not support Dolby Vision format because Samsung not willing to pay Dolby license for Dolby Vision. So Samsung comes out with their own version by developing HDR10+ format. Sadly not many content creators support HDR10+.

What is the cheapest price for a 85X90L we can get as of today around Klang Valley?

The cheapest I can get is SenQ Sony Bravia Early Bird Promo (20/09 - 08/10) for XR-65A95L is RM 18,599 (Free PS5 Digital Version) advertised @ Shopee today. SONY MALAYSIA is selling at RM 19,999 same promo package.

My LG OLED55C8 already 5 years old. So far so good. According to industry feedback current TV lifespan (failure rate) is around 4 to 8 years old for most of the premium model, I am currently doing some home work what's available in the market. Try not to spend more than RM 4K / year (based on failure rate 4 years) on TV.

My target TV size 75" or 85" with budget RM 15K max this year. 65" could be rather small to me as my current seating distance from OLED TV is 8.5 feet.

My initial planning is to get TCL 75C845 which I was told around RM 9.5K after TnG e-Wallet rebate. But after view few reviews available, apparently SONY 75X90L (FALD) is superior in picture details, much better colour accuracy and upscale while TCL is more to extreme in colour presentation and less booming. They both about same price. While Hisense U7K perform below par to C845 and X90L.

So 85X95L, 77A80L, 65A95L is out from now. Samsung with no Dolby Vision is also out from my shopping list too.

If my OLED TV can last me another year, probably I can consider 85X95L, 77A80L or 65A95L (or their 2024 respective model) by then.

Works fine with my XR-A80L

Sony A80L uses the same panel as LG C3. So one panel is dimmer than the other should not be very significant if there is any.

If you use the OLED TV frequently on streaming app like YouTube (mainly 720p/1080P), upscaling performance is very important as you don't want to miss out the micro contrast which SONY A80L has the upper hand over here.

Definitely a good choice of choosing A80L.. Sony colour not as pop as others like Samsung and LG but more natural to me too. Most of the time, picture settings just set and forget. You don't need to fine tune now and then because of the tv program or streaming materials.

me too with 77A80L. No regret.

SONY Malaysia just sent me email message with TnG eWallet Reload pin x 2 in conjunction with their "Joyful Green Christmas with My Sony" campaign after registered my purchased on line with them.

I was rewarded RM 500 x 2 as a token of appreciation from them. I was totally surprise as I didn't aware of such campaign when i did my product registration on line with My Sony few months ago.
