Best TV in Malaysia
Availability only filters the entries; it contributes no score, merit-order or tiebreak effect. Prices checked 16 Sep 2026; several were promotions that the value scores used, and pre-order or find-in-store listings are not confirmed stock. Scores are provisional AI-panel opinions of foreign lab tests: no Malaysian unit was tested, several sets rest on indicative evidence, and a gap of a few points is not a firm verdict. Neither OLED burn-in nor Sony's 2024 BRAVIA 8 OLED, at RM9,199, was assessed. No 2026 Samsung supports Dolby Vision. RTINGS reports an unfixed audio-sync fault in gaming on Sony's Pentonic 1000 TVs. Disney+ moves to a new app on 7 Oct 2026. Privacy is rated by platform beside the ranking and changes no place; the ratings are opinions of documents and foreign tests, not of sets sold in Malaysia. The September 2026 reports about LG TVs tested older LG sets, not the G6, C6 or B6; LG denies continuous recording and confirms its TVs scan the home network. No platform rates above 50 out of 100. Decline the optional data agreements at setup on any brand.
The ranking
LG G6 remains the highest-scoring all-round TV here after value is reassessed without stock or delivery effects. TCL C7L stays ahead of LG B6 and Samsung QN80H under the unchanged weights, mainly on brightness rather than brand. Availability is only a filter; regional app functionality and dated price remain separate product facts.

The viral brand list, checked
A viral post recommended LG OLED, Sony OLED, Samsung QLED and Philips OLED with Ambilight, and rejected Xiaomi, TCL, Hisense, Philips and Panasonic. Against these scores and company filings, it is right about LG and wrong about TCL and "Samsung QLED".

Brand by brand
| The post's claim | What the evidence shows | Before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Backs LG OLED | Broadly right. The G6 is first and the C6 follows the S95H, but the cheaper B6 is dim in a bright room. | The G6 and C6 hold up; see the B6 in a lit room before choosing it for daytime viewing. |
| Backs Sony OLED | The BRAVIA 8 II's picture score ties the G6's, but its price holds it to fourth. Its QD-OLED panel is the one Samsung uses in the S95F, and Sony has agreed to move its TV and home-audio business, Malaysian factory included, into a venture TCL will control, pending approvals. | Weigh the BRAVIA 8 II's price and the audio-sync fault; the business moves to a TCL-controlled venture from 2027 if approved. |
| Backs Samsung QLED | Wrong as a blanket rule. Samsung's QLED-branded QN80H scores below the TCL C7L, and its cheaper Mini LED M80H comes last; Samsung's strong set is the S95H OLED. No 2026 Samsung supports Dolby Vision. | Choose by model, not badge: the S95H scores well, the QN80H and M80H do not. |
| Rejects Philips, except Philips OLED with Ambilight | The recommended model is not on sale from Philips Malaysia, which lists no OLED at all. Philips TVs are made by TP Vision under a Philips brand licence, and that business's actual controller is China Electronics Corporation, a Chinese state group. | The recommended Philips OLED is not on sale from Philips Malaysia. |
| Rejects TCL | Not supported as a blanket rule. The C7L stays above LG’s B6 OLED, mainly because it is much brighter, and finishes above every Samsung LCD here, outscoring the QLED-branded QN80H on picture and brightness, not just value. Its picture score still trails every OLED's, and it costs under half the BRAVIA 8 II's price. | Worth shortlisting for a bright room; check haloing and off-centre viewing in store. |
| Rejects Hisense | Unproven on picture: the only lab tests of the U7S are of a US twin running a different platform, which its reviewer says does not carry across, so it is scored but not ranked. The concrete Malaysian drawback is its VIDAA platform, which several local streaming services do not list. Hisense Malaysia gives its 4K sets a three-year warranty. | Confirm that the apps you use are supported on VIDAA, or plan on a separate streaming device. |
| Rejects Xiaomi | Unproven either way: no lab test of a Xiaomi TV sold in Malaysia was found. | No lab evidence either way; judge the set in store. |
| Rejects Panasonic | Unproven, and hard to act on: its OLEDs listed in Malaysia are 2023 models, the newer Z95B is not offered, and no Malaysian model has been lab-tested. Skyworth now runs its European TV sales. | Its Malaysian OLEDs are 2023 models; compare them with newer sets on price. |

Which TV fits your room?
| Your room or use | Where the evidence points | Before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Bright living room with windows | LG G6; the 75-inch Sony BRAVIA 9 II, partially assessed without an overall score | The S95H removes reflections but its blacks turn grey by day; the C6 and B6 reflect lamps. The BRAVIA 9 II is sold only from 75 inches. |
| Films in a dark room | LG G6, LG C6, Sony BRAVIA 8 II | All three play Dolby Vision; the LG OLEDs show some stutter. |
| Football with a group | The OLEDs, for their wide viewing angles | OLED burn-in from static tickers was not assessed; the QN80H and C7L lose quality off-centre. |
| Console gaming | LG G6 or C6, Samsung S95H | Sony's BRAVIA sets and the TCL C7L offer high refresh on only two inputs. |
| Under RM5,000 | TCL C6K | Samsung's M80H is cheaper but has no local dimming. |
| A soundbar is planned | Discount the sound column | Sony owners using ARC should note the audio-sync fault. |
Privacy, by platform
Privacy is rated by platform and changes no place. None rates above the middle of the scale, the gaps between them are not firm, and opting out is the step with evidence behind it: decline the optional data agreements at setup on any brand.

Privacy by platform
| Platform | Privacy rating | Independent testing found | Before buying |
|---|---|---|---|
| LG webOS | 50 out of 100 (votes 45 to 54) | Tested abroad, on older sets | Decline the viewing, voice and advertising agreements. That does not stop LG's TVs looking for other devices on your network, so use a guest network if you can; the reports tested older sets, not the G6, C6 or B6. |
| Sony Google TV | 45 out of 100 (votes 42 to 50) | None found | Skip Samba's viewing-data service if offered; the countries Sony UK lists for it are all European. Google TV itself collects viewing and app activity. |
| Samsung Tizen | 45 out of 100 (votes 38 to 46) | Tested abroad, on older sets | Decline viewing data and ad tracking. Samsung Canada says streaming apps need a Samsung account; Malaysian sets were not checked. |
| Hisense VIDAA | 45 out of 100 (votes 30 to 46) | None of VIDAA's data traffic; Which? tested one UK Hisense set | Do not opt in to the Enhanced Viewing Service; Hisense Malaysia's privacy notice does not cover TVs. |
| TCL Google TV | 43 out of 100 (votes 42 to 50) | None found | Check ACR is off in settings; TCL's Malaysian notice says its ad partners may use it. Google TV itself collects viewing and app activity. |
What we did not rank, and why
These sets were researched but not ranked, for the reason shown; unranked is not a verdict that a set is worse.
Scroll across for prices and buying notes.
Not ranked, and why
| TV | Why it is not ranked | Before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Sony BRAVIA 9 II | Malaysia sells it only from 75 inches, so it is kept out of the 65-inch places. | Consider the larger format only if it suits the room. The old overall is withdrawn because the new value assessment is incomplete. |
| Samsung S90H (65-inch) | Samsung does not say which panel the Malaysian 65-inch uses: Courts lists it as QD-OLED, while RTINGS tested a WOLED unit and says its results do not carry across. Every signal for the S85H, by contrast, points to WOLED. | Ask the seller which panel the Malaysian 65-inch uses. |
| Hisense U7S (65-inch) | Its only lab tests are of the US U7SG, and RTINGS says its results do not carry across smart platforms; the Malaysian set runs VIDAA. | Treat its score as provisional, and confirm your apps work on VIDAA. |
| LG QNED86 and Mini RGB MRGB86 | No lab review; the Mini RGB set is edge-lit. | Priced at RM4,599 and RM5,599; judge the picture in store. |
| TCL Q7D RGB-Mini LED | No lab review. | In stock at RM6,599; judge the picture in store. |
| TCL C7K, C8L and X11L | C7K was filtered out by the dated stock check, not scored worse; its performance remains unassessed here. C8L and X11L are outside the reference-size comparison. | The TCL C7L is the TCL set ranked here, at 65 inches. |
| Hisense UR8S RGB MiniLED | No Malaysian price found. | Ask Hisense Malaysia for a price and stock date. |
| Hisense U6S and U6SE | No lab review matches these Malaysian models. | Priced from RM3,897; judge the picture in store. |
| Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 65 2026 | No lab test of any Xiaomi TV sold here; the China-market model with the same name is different hardware. | The S Pro costs RM3,999; judge it in store. |
| Panasonic OLEDs | No test of the Malaysian units; the newer Z95B is not sold here. | 2023 OLEDs at RM16,499 and above; compare them with newer sets. |
| Philips | No lab test of a Philips model sold in Malaysia. | No OLED on sale from Philips Malaysia. |
| Sony BRAVIA 8 (2024), BRAVIA 5 and Samsung M70H | Not assessed in this edition; the BRAVIA 8 is first in line for the next. | The BRAVIA 8 at RM9,199 is first in line for the next edition. |
