@lovehikki Thanks for the very informative links!

I can confirm 100% that my $568 (ntuc fairprice) AOC 50" UHD has a RGBW panel. I have ran exactly the same test patterns, vertical lines:

vertical pure color X 1-pixel wide line

x = red, white, green, blue

The earlier AOC models might have shipped with RGB panel, but not mine.


I have also confirmed that the sub $800 4K panels as of 2018.04 are 99% RGBW pseudo 4K. (With the Akira 55" being one notable exception)

:eek:, bro, how many feet you seating away from your "monitor"? It's like staring at a cinema screen on first row :s13:.
I put my 55" monitor on a dining table (long edge), and I sit on the other edge. it is like having 4 full HD monitors stacked 2x2.

note that rgbw can be real 4k, but this tend to only applies to oled or flagship models.

True, higher end-oled panel use extra pixel. I had a toshiba 40" RGBY (yellow) tv that is quite nice, bought in 2011.

The inferior panel should be called xRGBW

x=diagonal/checkerboard

Have bought one and delivered today. Watch 720p video from Singtel, picture good enough for me. Try Xiaomi 1089p video, think is sharper.

May I check how to cast video to the tv? I can’t find the tv to choose from when I try to cast the video. I have already connected to the same wifi network.

Dont think you can find the AOC model on sale anymore, and even if you do, its probably no longer on promo price.

For the xiaomi, it doesnt come with dvb-t2 tuner as china uses a different broadcasting standard. So to receive mediacorp channels you would need to purchase an additional tuner and indoor antenna or subscribe to singtel/starhub set-top box. Also i have read alot of comments online claiming their xiaomi tv start having problems inside the 1st couple of years and just outright dead beyond repair soon after. For that kind of price you will have to decide whether its worth the risk.

小米無保修。買家需要多嗮大約$60買六個月有限保修。
其他大陸牌子宜家祗有一年全保,第二第三年人工免費,部件另計。
AOC唔同。保修由飛利浦撐。三年全保。
