Toshiba U8080 is indeed Hisense H9G just look at the pictures of both the sets and they are completely same from backside. In front I believe Toshiba just added some soundbar at the bottom. But Toshiba U7980 is last years H8F as Hisense themselves are launching Q7F in India that is same as US H8G. Hisense wouldn't want to cannibalize it's own sale by launching same H8G model through Hisense and also Toshiba
can you please share the link where it has been mentioned that the launch is delayed.a friend of mine has already purchased U7980.so there must be some good reason Toshiba decided not to launch U8080 anytime soon
Can you please share what he thinks about the tv? Also if your from Mumbai, can you tell where are the authorized service centres for these tvs..i wanna check the ratings of after sale support.
The tv is on pre order on reliance with expected shipping delivery from 29th aug.if you want i will post his feedback once he receives the tv.I dont have any info about service center.may be you can contact toshiba or reliance to find out.
Had mailed them day before yesterday regarding u8080, still no reply. If they take so much time for a general query I can imagine the pain with after sales support...still will wait today for a response
sure i will post his feedback
How was your friend able to purchase the 7980?
yes he ordered few days back i think around 15-16th.fun fact i also added it same day and its still showing me in the cart.check the screenshot.
Damn, must have missed it by just a few days. Hope it comes back in stock soon.
It's better to use external streaming device like Amazon Fire Stick 4K, PS, XBOX or Nvidia Shield if you want to avoid the Televisions interface. Also it's better to keep your TV offline(I mean don't connect it directly through it's interface instead through any HDMI source) because manufacturers are known to nerf PQ of the set over years because of bad optimization. Improving PQ over the air is never going to yield better result than TV coming out of factories having some sort of calibration done physically.
Sorry but didn't get the second part...what you mean by offline means using a streaming device right...and when you mean the nerf the pq does that mean that successive updates hamper the picture quality? Confused
Shouldn't be a problem since the vidaa 3.0 is a lightweight os. Optimised with limited selection...you don't have that kind of choice. You could get a good streaming box if ram is an issue for youAll Specs looks good except Ram & Rom only 1.5gb & 4gb, if you guys login to Samsung website and check the feedback for frame 2020 same issue they wouldn't even be able to install any more apps from the play store you just need to keep in mind before buying
even the base models of most budget TV's come with 2gb & 16gb.
I wish it also had HDMI 2.1 with eArc support!
At what price?
Yes you got it right. If you go online through your television set you can't bypass automatic updates and in most cases than not the updates degrades the picture quality, messing with local dimming algorithm. You can still use online services but just through TV OS but with some external streaming device connected through HDMI port.
