P8S comes with wide color gamut, bezel less design and higher brightness as compared to P8M. I chose 50P8S as I am fine with 50” and prefer the slimmer design and wide color gamut.

I bought 50 inch P8S at full prices last friday,on 2nd day watching youtube the tv got light bleeding from both side edge of the panel. A series of white led bulb with multicolor rainbow at the panel edge both sides. It's flicker for few seconds then back to normal.

Does anyone have this issues?

I received the 50P8S from Giant yesterday and did not encounter the light bleeding issue from both side edge of the panel. However the corners of the panel are noticeably darker with bright backgrounds.

Anyway can't really complain too much for an 50" UHD Android TV at $599, it has a brighter screen with more saturated colors as compared to my previous Sharp LED TV. Watching HDR and UHD contents on Netflix is really a huge upgrade of viewing experience as compared to my previous HDTV.

I would just to need adjust my expectations according to the features and price point of the product.

I just got the 50P8S model yesterday from Giant. I want ask how do I connect my Popsical Remix? I'm using HDMI ARC to connect soundbar to tv. HDMI from Popsical remix to tv HDMI 2. To enable the mics from Popsical, I was told it needs to be connected via aux. So I connected aux from Popsical to soundbar but no sound. Infact my tv will change mode. Anyone can assist

Connected my old usb gamepad n tested alphalt 8.
Image is decent and menu navigating still smooth.
Gameplay still playable but will drop frame once lotsa things happening on screen.

But u have to manually switch on the soundbar, it will not auto switch on with the TV? Thanks for sharing

Soundbar auto turns on/off with TV, as its connected through ARC port.
