How many people does does it take to do a wall mount for a 43inch TV ? and do they charge differently for those fixed wall mount and those mount with movable arms ?

some also charge more if the height is higher.

Best denki sales man gave me a flat rate of $100 for wall mount and installation. the wall mount is those with arms . you think it's a good deal ?

The Sony guy quoted me $50 for additional wall mount service.

Went to mustafa and 75x8500c is $6389! Wall mount and installation free. I asked whether the 4 x 3d glasses. Remote and hdmi is included and the saleman said yes.

Did you buy that tv? I am also considering that model.

1 person is enough.
Yes, those mounts that can flex are usually more expensive than basic ones

I thought that most throw in free wall mounting with purchase of a new TV?

Most got free wall mount but installation need to pay extra or if you get third party wall mount , also ddifferent charge. Now I thinking just mount myself. Just get a friend to help. Drilling into plywood should be easier right ....?

Mustafa selling 43x8300c for 1379. Cheapest I think so far.

Probably. But I will like to know other retailers like BD and HN can match their price or not?

Hi guys, quick question here. I'm thinking of upgrading my current living room tv which is a 46" led 7500 series to the Sony 55x8500c, and move the 46" into the master bed room. Do you guys think this is feasible and a huge upgrade?

What is your budget and viewing distance?

Yes...from 46 inch to 55 inch and from non 4k to 4k TV...

my sony Android TV cannot record mediacorp free-to-air programmes, can you??

 

[mrsun18]

A question for the owners: Does the W800C series come with a recording function?

A check on the operating instructions (http://www.sony.com.sg/support/product/kdl-55w800c) shows that the Au/NZ models come with the feature.

I see there are a number of happy and not so happy owners of W800C in this thread. Just a yes/no answer will do. Add sufficient no of .... instead of typing 10 char

Sony got such recording function? http://www.sony.com.sg/product/kdl-43w800c

lol I thought all TVs nowadays can connect external HDD for recording function sia. I know LG and Samsung have.

Hi guys, i have just gotten my 55x8500C. Was wondering if there are any ideal custom picture settings that you guys are using?

 

[ralliart12]

I was told to update the firmware from their website. I haven't tried it out since my actual TV set have patches of clouding. They claimed to exchange a "new" set for me. The exchanged set turns out to be a used one, 12 hours of usage and 68 times of booting on.

So I've paid my money on a used set? Disappointing.

How did you tell your usage hours?
What model is yours?
Did you ask for 1 more exchange by showing the usage hours to the delivery person?

 

[Ash]

Anyone knows how to record TV programmes? I have Asus NAS attached to my network..

Guess I was lucky to have a new set. I checked after one week of using and it shows 45 hrs, which work out to be almost the hours of viewing for a week.

Thought of getting Sony 55x8500c but worry about the restart problem. Have Sony solved the restart problem?

Hiya, how did you check for the usage?

I have had the tv since yesterday and updated to the latest firmware. No restart issue.

TV in power off mode, hold Display button, no. 5, Vol down together and Power on button.
Takes sometime for me to figure out display button. It's the one just below the numbers, left button
