Why wan to buy from china?
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.
