QUOTE(Minolta @ Mar 23 2025, 10:01 AM) Why wan to buy from china? Totally agree all your points!1. Models available there are higher end (not available locally), eg mini-led, very bright HDR with much higher local dimming zones etc 2. Much cheaper price. Eg the model he wants is a TCL 85” mini led with 2.4k Nits, 1.5k LED, 144hz for about rm3.xk. Compare that with local version TCL 85” C755 current price (which is lower spec) and you might understand. Why worry about buying from china? 1. Warranty claim is hassle. Will need to send the TV back to china. Cost of sending back and return borne by buyer, super expensive. Unlikely will attempt even if TV spoilt. 2. Delivery. The delivery from china to Malaysia when buy is “relatively cheap”. Estimate about rm500 using official logistics. Add about rm100 for a wooden frame for protection. Takes 1 month to arrive. No issue with custom, its not a prohibited item. You can also use own logistic companies, in which you can choose to also buy insurwnce for transportation. 3. The OS will be in china os. Not really android. Cannot uodate with android firmware. Might have some english selection, but hassle. Cant access app store, need to sideload apk (if possible). Usually end up using with either a HTPC or tv box. 1 more thing to concern, now all China TV using 220V voltage, Malaysia using 240V, not sure this will shorter the TV usage life or not? BTW, i have bought China Xiaomi TV at 2015, using this week my TV panel light is blinking and then no light, look like GG.com ald. But my TV is wide voltage 110-240V, using 9 years+ worth for it |

I didnt proceed the TV purchase. Because, before that I've order a music CD player but seller didn't shipping out the item even after 6 weeks and after chatted with him and he said out of stock ask me to wait til Sept.
Anyway, I bought 85" TCL 655 pro here last month 7.7 sale via lazada and very good buy and happy with the price I paid and the picture quality is good This post has been edited by utellme_6376: Aug 12 2025, 08:17 PM |

Perhaps it was 1-2 years ago. I think the brand was Xiaomi. They display it near the entrance of the shop.Can't remember the exact price, it was around 100k+ (Less than 140k, more than 100k). Should be much cheaper now. This post has been edited by HolyCooler: Oct 3 2025, 02:16 PM |

Watching movie with good projector is always entertaining and cinema feel. Can't remember the exact price, it was around 100k+ (Less than 140k, more than 100k). Should be much cheaper now. |

Watching movie with good projector is always entertaining and cinema feel. Personally i am not a fan of projector. I look for very good image quality, example the current monitor i am using is OLED.If 120" TV screen can be reduced to rm 20-30k one day, i would consider. P/S1 Current 120 TV is around rm80k as i checked, from Samsung. Xiaomi one should be even cheaper now i guess P/S2 Projector has high delay/latency, i need a TV instead of a projector due to i use it to watch TV + play games This post has been edited by HolyCooler: Oct 3 2025, 05:10 PM |

The most i will go 75 inch, already enough for me, currently using a 65 inch already satisfied |
