Best TV in Malaysia
Prices checked 16 Sep 2026, some of them promotions; confirm the offer and stock before buying. Scores are panel opinions of foreign lab tests, not of Malaysian units, so a gap of a few points is not a verdict.
The ranking
LG G6 leads at 81.8, and the LG C6 is third at 72.9 for RM1,500 less. The TCL C7L, fourth at RM6,999, is the pick for a bright room on a budget.
Scores include 10% for release recency. A shared place means the panellists' own totals disagree on the order.

The viral brand list, checked
A viral post backed LG, Sony and Samsung QLED and rejected TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi, Philips and Panasonic; the scores bear it out for LG only.

Brand by brand
| The post's claim | Before buying |
|---|---|
| Backs LG OLED | Broadly right: the G6 is first; see the B6 in a lit room. |
| Backs Sony OLED | Picture ties the G6, but price, age and an audio-sync fault hold it back. |
| Backs Samsung QLED | Wrong as a rule: the S95H scores well, the QN80H and M80H do not. |
| Rejects Philips, except Philips OLED with Ambilight | The recommended OLED is not sold by Philips Malaysia. |
| Rejects TCL | Not supported: the C7L ranks fourth; check haloing in store. |
| Rejects Hisense | Unproven: only a US twin was lab-tested; check your apps run on VIDAA. |
| Rejects Xiaomi | Unproven either way: no lab test found. |
| Rejects Panasonic | Unproven: its Malaysian OLEDs are 2023 models. |

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 cuts reflections but greys by day; the C6 and B6 reflect lamps. |
| Films in a dark room | LG G6, LG C6, Sony BRAVIA 8 II | All three play Dolby Vision; no 2026 Samsung does. |
| Football with a group | The OLEDs, for their wide viewing angles | Burn-in was not assessed; the QN80H and C7L lose quality off-centre. |
| Console gaming | LG G6 or C6, Samsung S95H | The C7L and Sony sets have high refresh on only two inputs. |
| Under RM5,000 | TCL C6K | The M80H is cheaper but has no local dimming. |
| A soundbar is planned | Discount the sound column | Sony owners using ARC: mind the audio-sync fault. |

Privacy by platform
| Platform | Independent testing found | Before buying |
|---|---|---|
| LG webOS | Tested abroad, on older sets | LG confirms its TVs scan your network, with no stated off switch, and the reported flaws have no patch date; use a guest network. |
| Sony Google TV | None found | Skip Samba's viewing-data service; Google TV also collects activity. |
| Samsung Tizen | Tested abroad, on older sets | Decline viewing data and ad tracking. |
| Hisense VIDAA | None of VIDAA's data traffic; Which? tested one UK Hisense set | Do not opt in to the Enhanced Viewing Service. |
| TCL Google TV | None found | Check ACR is off; TCL's ad partners may use it. |
