Comex 2019 highlights

TVs

Philips

This Philips 55-inch 55PUT7303 is a 4K TV running Android TV. It also has a 3-sided Ambilight function, which uses LEDs on the sides of the TV to cast on-screen colours onto the walls. Going for just S$1,149.

Samsung

The 55-inch RU7100 4K TV supports HDR10+, has an easy-to-use Smart Hub interface, and is one of the Samsung TVs to have the new Apple TV app. Better yet is the price: just S$1,149 and you even get free 6 months Singtel CAST.

Part of Samsung’s 2019 QLED TV lineup, the Q60R offers 100% colour volume, a Quantum Processor 4K that intelligently upscales every scene to create an optimised viewing experience and a Magic Screen function that adds meaningful images to an otherwise black screen. Like many of the other Samsung 2019 TVs, it too supports the new Apple TV app and AirPlay 2. Usually going for S$2,999, the 55-inch is available at this show for S$2,249.

The Q75R has all the features of the aforementioned Q60R. The biggest difference is that the Q75R supports full-array local dimming, while the Q60R is an edge-LED dimming model. In short, the Q75R is the higher-end model. That said, the 55-inch Q75R, for some reason, is going for just S$1,999. Limited stock, though — so hurry.

Sony

This 55-inch Sony Bravia X9500G is a 4K TV running Android TV, which means it has built-in Chromecast and Google Play store. It also features Sony’s Acoustic Multi-Audio system, which adds two sound positioning tweeters in the rear of the TV to the bass reflex speakers to create a sound-from-picture experience. Going for S$2,429.

The A8G 4K OLED Android TV features Sony’s 4K HDR Processor X1 Extreme, Acoustic Surface audio system and comes with a stand that you can rotate 180° for it to rise up to give you space to put your soundbar. The 55-inch model is going for S$5,499 (pro tip: ask for more discounts!).

PSA: you can get an additional S$450 off when you buy a 75-inch and a 55-inch Sony Bravia TV but it must be in the same receipt. Eligible 75-inch models include the X9500G, X8500G and X8000G; and eligible 55-inch models include the A9G, A8G, X9500G, X8500G, X8577G, X8000G and X7000G.

TCL

This 65-inch TCL 65P8S is a 4K Android TV that has the Google Play store and Chromecast function built-in. It apparently supports HDR10+ (like Samsung TVs) as well as Dolby Audio. The best part is the price: just S$999.

The 55P3CUS is a 55-inch 4K UHD TV. While this curved TV doesn’t run Android TV, it still supports apps such as Netflix and YouTube. Going for S$799 at this show.
