Greetings everyone,

I'm currently looking for a new TV for my family to replace our 13-year-old Panasonic.

TBH I am quite tempted with the TCL C6K since it is miniLED and really affordable, but kind of hard to convince my family since they don't want China brand for some reason.

Also, I am looking for something that lasts for at least 5-7 years, preferably more, so OLED is not an option even though I would love to have one.

So, here are the models, all are 55-inches:

1. TCL C6K: RM2.3k-2.5k, miniLED, looks great to my eyes given the price

2. Sony X85L: RM3.5k, VA panel, also looks good considering the panel

3. Sony X90L: RM4.5k, similar as X85L but with better processor

4. Wait for more models, probably LG QNED86A or Sony Bravia 5, both miniLED as well

Which one would be the best pick of the above?

All opinions are welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it.

Currently looking for Sony Bravia 5, LG QNED86 (2025) or C5, and TCL C6K.

Budget: 4.5k and below
Use case: Sports, movies, Malay drama (ask my family lol) and news, no gaming (cannot plug in PS5 because of GTA)

Current prices:

1. Bravia 5 around 5.5k, which is a lot for mini LED
2. C6K can still get around 2.5-2.7k
3. QNED86 (2025) also mini LED, around 3.6-3.7k
4. C5 sits in just nicely at 4.5-4.6k, 48 inch though while the rest are all 55 inch

Should we just shoot up for C5 since it looks like the best deal compared to the rest or save up and just get C6K?

Thanks a lot

Sure, good idea tbh

Actually we decided to hold out dulu, and we are aiming for Bravia 5 if possible. The other alternative would be X90L only if the price is close to or below 4k. That is just my idea lah.

Nearly got the X85L at 3k flat on 6.6, but my family not convinced.

OLED out of the question, the TV space got windows behind so not suitable.

Our TV space are not suitable for OLED, got stained windows on the left and curtained ones on the back even though our space is not super bright. So, Mini-LED is our best bet atm.

Can confirm. Took a brief look at the newer QNED86 and the image looks meh. X90L or even X85L looks more pleasing to me. Bravia 5 obviously no contest.

Just saw it. For 5.5k kind of hambar imo. Thought maybe just go for either Sony X90L, LG C5, B4 or maybe B5 if it arrives. TCL C6K definitely last option.

Oh ya, so quick update

We ended up getting the X90L, got one around below 4.4k. I will be testing it over the weekend (F1 weekend also), so we will see how it goes.

From my R&D experience, I would say:

Image processing = Sony
Value = TCL
OLED = LG

Samsung lineup not interesting for me & I got no experience with Hisense, so cannot comment on that

beg oren (mall), extended warranty tak dapat tapi boleh beli kemudian kalau tak silap

masa angkat pun dah last stock utk 55 inch, store lain ada stock lagi, cuma mahal sikit

sony centre sunway

next best option would be sony online store and senheng

4.5m is crazy far, consider reducing the distance.

TCL C6K is your best bet for 75 inch, can get well under 6K.

Probably China import one, never buy overseas unit for any electronics.

Always go for local stock, like Senheng, official shop or authorised dealer.

Stick to Sony, X85L is still pretty good, processor similar to Bravia 3
