May I know, if I need a 48" TV, that is to work with the DVB T2, and and Android media box, do the "Full HD Internet TV" range and the the "Basic" range make any difference to me? No playing game, just to watch TV, movies, ect.

Few things to consider:
1) What are the native resolution of your contents?
Are they in 1080p HD?
2) What is your prefer TV size according to the place
or room you want to install.

Your source resolution is very important, if they are not
in 1080p than even a HD ready TV is sufficient.
You don't wish to buy a TV but end up with poor image
or bloated pixel due to your source not TV.

Basic range can meet your needs just whether you are okay with the quality of the screen n panel

Thanks for replying.

Yes I have my own android box.

We mainly use the box to watch HK, KR or JP dramas. The quality varies, but I will try to look for at least 720p one.

Is HD enough for DVB T2?

Are there some affordable out there so your options
are pretty wide cuz you can consider both HD ready
and Full HD.
Difference is that HD ready TV only supports 720p which
in your case is sufficient whereas Full HD is 1080p
is more for future proofing.

Bumping this, hoping to get some opinions before the current promo ends :o

Hi guys,

Don't need 3D so looking at either X8000C or X8300C in 49" ... anyone can advise if it is worth paying the additional $300 or so?

Also, I remember the famous shop in the West Coast area used to offer 5 years warranty while everyone else only gave 3 years ... any idea if they still give 5 years?

Oh, so you don't know how to tune? (see my reply to you on the other thread).

Just got a KDL50W800. but feel that the android TV doesn't put into good use.
the playstore has very limited apps. tried KODI and the streaming quite slow.

Anyone can intro any sideload apk apps?

The main reason that I do not want a Android TV now. I feel that it is still not mature yet. I would rather use a good Android TV box, can do so much more with it.
