Looking at the 65" X8500c. Anyone know where to get the best deal?
Am also considering the Samsung SUHD JS9000.

Still deciding which to get.

You can try parisilk, their price is lower than mustafa.

The x8500c vs the js9000 is a hugh difference in quality.

If you want to compare with js9000, you might want to consider sony 65 x9300c.

Anyone using 55X8500C.. Is it normal when I on TV. It will always go to the youtube page. I always need to switch to HDMI 2 to see my tv channel.

Possible to set default when I on the TV it goes to HDMI2?

By default, it goes to smart TV when power on. I always press the "TV" button on remote to switch to HDMI for TV from Starhub box. Its good if there is a default selection for power up. Any bros know please share. Thanks :s12:

Also thinking of getting Sony 65"X850c(about $49++) or Samsung 65" JU7000 ($41++ with free 40" TV) or LG 65" UF860T ($41++ with free 40" TV). Could not decide which one to get.

I asked before at Sony 313 and they told the only difference between between X8500c and X9300c is the super thin bezel, else everything is the same.

Best price I asked for the 65" JS9000 is about $54xx before the trade in of the 40" UHD TV. IF can get at $48xx after trade in, very likely I will go for it.

65" x850c can get it about $46xx at one of well known neighbourhood store at JW. Price is before bargain

U r probabaly served by part timers or staffs at 313 who have no ideas what they are selling. The differences bwt X9300C and X8500C are not just aesthetic. U can compare both models at sony.com.sg.

X9300C is equipped with much better speaker and come with full array local dimming. X8500C is not

The wall mount look quite exactly from the sanus model u linked with. The installation guy told me i can do horizontal alignment by pulling or pushing by the side but so far i dont tried it.
I removed one such wall mount myself recently. Ya, horizontal alignment can be made. There are fixing screws, one each on the vertical arms that are fixed to the back of the tv set. These screws would be tightened by the installer to the lower "rail" of the bracket that is fixed to the wall. So the strength needed to slide the tv set sideway would depend on how much the screws were tightened.

Thanks, were both TVs recent purchases?

Noticed that the 40" mount allows tilting, but the 55" mount doesn't?

Does the 55" mount allow for slight backward tilting to give more access to make AV connections while mounted?

Yup, i.e. I purchases both around the time the Sony 2015 "promotion" was ongoing (before June I think).

...Noticed that the 40" mount allows tilting, but the 55" mount doesn't?...

I think you mean the 40" allows semi-permanent tilting adjustment? If so, yes, the 55" doesn't offer the same type of adjustment.

...Does the 55" mount allow for slight backward tilting to give more access to make AV connections while mounted?

Only if you "hold it there", i.e. the design of the metal hooks of the 55" mount has some allowance to let an end-user latch the TV onto the wall-mounted bracket; but after latching the TV will be tilted down a bit.

Actually if you got a mirror, you can kinda connect various A/V components to the behind of the TV without shifting the set, even the "hidden" USB3.0 port...unless, your A/V cables got a huge bend?

I suppose you can ask for the adjustable type to suit your purpose?

Thanks, would have thought that the 55" should be the one that came with the tilt adjustment instead of the 40" - does the mount make the TV appear to protrude out much further from the wall?

I suppose I can try asking them to bring all their mount options.

Anyone who purchased 65W850C can share which mount they installed? Thanks.

KDL32W700C - $589
KDL40W700C - $829

R range is only HD and without any build in browser/or Internet function.
W is Full HD and with internet function

Is there a short-cut key settings for all the 4HDMI, without pressing the HOME, scroll down to select any of the HDMIs? Would be good just set one key button on the remote and straight away change to any of the HDMIs we wanted to watch.
