49S6500 can use internet browser? It is an Android TV OS based FHD TV, so no Chrome browser by default. But you can side load browsers like Firefox. Or you can try alternative browser like Puffin TV Browser from the TCL TV's Google Play Store.

Well, my Sony Android (8.0) TV comes with a browser built in, so no need to sideload any other browser. But then Mi TV Global version running Android TV OS does not ship with a browser either. Sony Android TV is much more expensive than Mi TV and TCL TV though. |

My Mi Box S does not come with a browser. But okay it is a low end Android TV box running official Android TV OS. I hardly browse on my TV unless my tablets and phones are charging at the same time. |

Same tv as local.. all specs same..just os is Chinese version without Google play store, probably getting a Android box later. Price is definitely alot cheaper... Only worry is no warranty but parts and repair still accessible as I know local repair man who can do Sony. Is it not possible to set location to Singapore? Download Singapore firmware and reload the firmware? Check this link https://www.sony.com.sg/electronics/support/lcd-tvs-android-xf75xx_x75xxf-series/kd-65x7500f/downloads/00016219 Last edited by VideoOne2; 07-01-2020 at 10:28 AM.. |

I did check.. should be able to flash the ROM... Just for the records everything hardware seems the same. I will just leave it as it is as everything is working well.. I got a Chromecast for watching youtubes too It is said that Sony cuts too many things and it is very difficult to flash US/UK/etc ROM. https://www.v2ex.com/t/511778 Mi Box S is not expensive at around S$80, with official local warranty, from Shopee Official Xiaomi store. https://shopee.sg/product/178877065/...158?smtt=0.0.9 |

Thanks! Was thinking either the TCL, or Sony 8500 (or above) from Taobao/Msia as the price is at least 40% cheaper. But unless the Sony give much superior quality.. maybe the TCL is the best cheap bet to go without the hassle of warranty and a Mi Box. I go down IMM to see those tcl 65 sets.. not too impressed. The Sony got better graphic upscale, more natural color and motion,only the sound is still lacking and the black is not deep black. It's a Sony, that's what they say...  |
