Can share what size and price you get it?

Thanks bro.

I’m also looking for size upgrade to 65” from 10 years old 50” Panasonic plasma tv that failed to power on. Interested in x90j but the price has gone up. New 2022 models may not come until May. Probably will aim for x85j and see if there is any good deal in Shopee or Lazada birthday sale.

The cheapest I find online is about this price. I called a few shop over the weekend and all quoted 6k and above.

@andrekua2 got his in 12.12, at that time the listed price is 5399. I’m holding on for Lazada birthday sale. At this rate, the price gap between 65x85j and 65x90j are getting wider. I may just go for x85j.

That’s the channel bandwidth. 20 will have lower throughput, supposedly better range. What andrekua2 mean is the 5Ghz band selection. Normally you have option like control channel 36, 40, 44, 48, 149,153,157, 161. Go for the lower channel theoretically will have a bit better range. Anyhow, looks like the built in wifi is very weak.

That also depends on our environment. Like my house, I think all my neighbor set their transmit power to maximum. 2.4GHz is almost not usable. I simply turn off 2.4GHz radio on my router. Even the shorter range 5GHz I still can detect many AP available. In my case, the lower 4 5GHz channels are more congested. I get better throughput with the higher control channel. Best is to test it out and use the best performance channel in your environment.

For your case should be ok. You can use your phone or laptop to run speedtest and see if the throughout is expected. If you are adventurous, you can try iperf. I remember someone posted somewhere in the forum how to use iperf to test throughout. 40/80MHz channel size will have better throughout than 20MHz. What you gain with smaller channel size is higher signal to noise ratio, giving you better coverage.
Everyone’s environment is different. If you have a lot of interference from your neighbor using the same control channel, you may even get better throughout with smaller channel size. Sometimes it is worth to try other control channel while maintaining 20MHz channel size.
There are chances neighbor add new mesh AP or changing their control channel. If you noticed your throughput suddenly drop then have to re-do again and get your optimum setup.

The supplied power cable is rather short. I have long power cable for those three pin plug but not these connector. Any recommendation where to buy?

I’m wall mouting the tv. The supplied power cord is too short and I cannot properly route the power cable. Yeah, I think the power cord connector is IEC C7. Should be easy to find longer power cable with this connector. Or get IEC C14 to C7 adaptor since I already have long cable with C14 connector.

I have no issue plug the two pin power to three pin plug. My issue is the cable too short to lay properly along the wall mount. Now it is dangling.
The two pin connector to tv like figure 8 is IEC C7. I don’t have such spare cable. So have to buy already.

Update: Found 90 degree angle C7 connector with standard 3 pin plug cable, 2.5A. Comes with 2m, 3m and 5m options. Will measure what length to get.

If you go for optical cable, does it means you lost the control of receiver from TV remote? I haven’t try Netflix. With Astro ultra box connected directly to tv hdmi 1, and hdmi 3 ARC to receiver, I don’t need to use receiver remote. Volume can be control from TV/astro remote. Receiver automatic wake up when I switch on TV and go to standby by itself when I switch off tv. I also plug in optical cable for backup. But when I unplug hdmi 3 cable, no audio coming out from my receiver via optical cable. Any different setting required from tv to switch from hdmi arc to optical output?

Update: I guess muted audio on optical output is due to DD+ settings in tv with hdmi arc. I read that optical output only support DD and not DD+.

Mask pin 13 helps me too.
I had problem sometimes switch on TV does not wake up my receiver. When I switch off TV, my receiver will go to standby. If I wait long enough after switch off TV then switch on TV again, my receiver is able to wake up. The problem is if I immediately switch on TV again, my receiver does not wake up. Masking pin 13 solves this issue.

I am trying to use single remote. However, Astro remote is not able to switch on/off TV. I’m now trying to do it with Sony remote instead. Can I use Sony remote to change Astro channel?

I don’t use MyTV. From their website https://www.mytvbroadcasting.my/en/installation_guide/ it uses DVB-T2.
From Sony J series, looks like it supports DVB-T/T2
You still need to have the aerial antenna.

I see. As long as CEC works can control the receiver. ARC is working well with my receiver. The issue receiver sometimes doesn’t wake up from standby is solved after masked HDMI pin 13 from Astro ultra box.

I was also looking for these two models. Major difference is processor, local dimming and true 10 bit depth panel vs 10 bits (8 bit + FRC) panel. In the end I get 65x85j during Lazada sales for 3.5k. I don’t play game, mostly parent watch Astro. I watch some Netflix when parent not watching Astro. I’m happy with it coming from 50” Panasonic 3D plasma tv.

I bought extended warranty for my previous Panasonic TV as it was more expensive. This time around I didnt buy. For peace of mind it is worth to get extended warranty.

Have you try connect your speaker directly to your tv audio output jack? Probably it will work too but not as good as your dac.

Seems x90j price has went up since end of last year. For me the price gap between these two range is getting too wide apart especially for my application.
I bought from a Lazada seller in Johor. Shipped to KL.


By the way, new k series will come soon. Hopefully someone know TV appliances trend can share when is the better time to hunt for outgoing model bargain.

Seems possible:

Guess you have to try it yourself already.


So you get 65x90J? Congratulation.
Not sure why the offer only for k series since you already have the xr processor.

No issue with x85j.
What is 90AJ? Do you mean X80AJ or A90J? Totally different price range product. It depends how particular your old people are on tv requirement, and of course your budget.
