Recently my facebook has been pushing out Prism+ ads and I decided to finally get a TV for my living room. There's a Prism shop nearby and I think their Q55 Ultra looks wonderful.

Sorry if this question has been asked many times, but any sifu here has better alternative for max 55" 4k TV to get for under RM2.5k?

I've read that Prism has relatively bad QC and customer service is a headache, and Samsung / LG is the way to go. I did some digging and Samsung Qled is much more expensive and I think at my price, my options are probably Crystal Uhd?

I'll mainly use it for Youtube Chromecast, and Netflix, possibly Disney+ and the likes. Don't have console so won't be gaming for now. My priority is as followed: item quality (last 4-5 years maybe?) > color quality (love colorful!) and clarity > the rest. I have a small living room so viewing from an angle, or color accuracy, etc are secondary.

Tq!

I am also looking so park here.
Btw I hear that the China brands are good and cheap eg Hisense.

TCL, Skyworth or mi

TCL QLed
Hisense Mini Led

lower Tier:
LG ThinQ AI

aiya chill la.. let the man ask and get his tv. maybe some sifu here can guide him on the right path.

Oh I did some research alright, granted they are feedback from people from SG forums or reddit. I read that Prism doesn't have their own R&D or factory, that their TV is OEM from Hisense. So if it's faulty, it's going to be hell of a process to go through.

On the other hand, I've read customer from Hisense TV having quite a hard time repairing, returning, claiming warranty (took 1 year for a guy after about 2 years). I was a big avid fan of Mi product back 15 years; I used their OG Mi Note. But coupled with some friend's advice, Mi product doesn't stand for longevity as well. And I've personally gone through their customer service in Prangin Mall quite a few times (I think I never once had a faulty product fixed). In fact, I've read from those sources that we should generally avoid Hisense, TCL, Mi or Prism, now I understand that normally these people complaining could be the minority few who have had bad experience with the product. Hence, I'm asking here now for some "more localized" opinions. And if you can't provide any construct or useful 2 cents, maybe you should gtfo boy.

Back to the matter at hand, I've also read a review on Lowyat on this TV: https://www.lowyat.net/2023/305479/prism-q5...ghtning-review/ and there's this sentence right at the end "But again, at that price, this isn’t the best TV in its segment on the market", so I'm only hoping people here can shed some light on the alternative. So after years of using other type of various electronic applicances (fans, fridge, aircons), I tend to believe branding is crucial when it comes to their QC and customer service. Hence, as stated in my first post, I'm wondering what's my best choice for Samsung, and perhaps Sony for that matter. And if anyone has experience using these brands, all the better.

I have a 50" Samsung TV. Bought 3 years ago and the screen have some issues twice. First time it was under warranty and the second time, its no longer covered and I now have a useless piece of 50" screen. So, I say no to Samsung TV.

Xiaomi

avoid skyworth tv

Happy with my Sharp LC6800 60" TV, bought BNIB warehouse sale 2499 few years back

Value for money

I’ve looked into TVs in that price range recently, and if you’re worried about Prism+’s QC and customer service, Samsung’s Crystal UHD line is a good bet. It should give you the color and clarity you’re looking for without breaking the bank. LG also has some solid options around RM2.5k. I don’t think you’ll go wrong with either of these if you’re mostly streaming content and not gaming.

TCL or LG

If you want cheap TV can never go wrong wth hisense.

Hisense tv can last for how long?

Around the same time sony and samsung TV start having problems

Bought a Samsung 55inch crystal LED tv a few years back for my parents. 1 month after warranty period over, got those dead pixel lines (same thing happened to the Samsung A73 phone i got my mom too).

Contacted Samsung Warranty, and they said have to deposit RM100 first to come and check the TV which is not refundable. If you want to repair they will deduct the RM100, if not deposit is forfeited.

Used to be an avid fan of samsung growing up, as we got their plasma tv that lasted almost 10 years and even after warranty over for 2 months, they came and change the panel FOC.

So, now i just avoid anything samsung altogether because product quality is subpar and warranty service is not what it used to be. Might as well just get a cheaper brand and replace it once its broken.
