Both Models are not  Full Array LED, 

Here are some reviews of the XH95 and the X90J

I read all the reviews I could find of the X90J yesterday, it was largely those that drew me to it after seeing the TV in several 'Recommended'.  Read several reviews of the 950(0)H too since last night.  Both would suit me.  The 950H certainly seems that it would have the better picture for HD but there was one feature it didn't have that the X90J does have (likely as a result of the X90J being a 2021 model).  Can't recall what it was just now (it was something other than 2.1 HDMI) as the brain cells are overloaded with a condo move at the moment.  Plan to do a line by line comparison of them later when I can write everything down.  The reviews also indicate that the blacks are likely better on the X90J too and, as the wider viewing angle isn't an issue to me, that might keep me in favour of the X90J.

If you not in a hurry I would wait for the 1st of January Both Shopee, Lazada have special promotions of the day of the month for example this tv you could buy for 32-34,000 baht direct from sony Thailand  and delivered by Sony Thailand with 3 year warranty

Another TV to checkout is the SONY KD-65X9500H main differences are the x9500h is much brighter than the X90J which is good for watching 4k.

if you into gaming go for the x90j has it has hdmi 2.1 ports if you want best picture quality go for the x9500h 

X90J is mid range model launched June 2021 launch price 55,000

X9500H was the top of the range model launched Oct/Nov 2020 launch price 80,000

LCDTV Thailand is a good shop to buy from but if Sony Thailand is selling same price or lower buy from Sony Thailand

Prices for both the x90j and x9500h were between 32k-35K on 12th December 2021

Thanks for the info.  I'll wait until 1 January I think.  There is a Flash Sale at Shopee at the moment but looks like the reductions are not so significant as they were on 12/12 (and hopefully 1/1).  Not into gaming at all, picture more important, so I'll look at the 9500H too.  

As to the issue above about Android vs Smart, that doesn't bother me that much as I'll use either a Shield TV or Apple TV 4K (2021) on whichever I buy.

Planning to go check out a few stores in BKK tomorrow for a 65" TV.  Looking at the Sony XR-65X90J currently.  There was a great deal online from Powerbuy with a special promo ending today that drops the TV to 36K but, having placed the order (yet to pay), I got an email saying that after I've paid they'd notify me if the product is in stock and if not they'd refund the money.  Hmmmm.  Not really keen on that idea.  I then checked the 'pick up at store' availability and there's limited stock (so it says) locally with full stock only at Saphanburi (which I suspect is a central warehouse).  I've no problem with something needing to be shipped but I prefer to know they have stock before I pay, not after, especially if that leaves me waiting for a refund for a week (at best)  Checking the FB page for Powerbuy the overwhelming numbers of reviews are negative.  So I'm erring on the side of avoiding PB online.

Saw several references to LCDTV Thailand (https://www.lcdtvthailandshop.com), a store that has very high ratings on Shopee, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them.  

I'm not particular about the TV in question but it seems to fit the bill for what I'm after.  I'd rather stick with Sony or Panasonic and local for the 3+ year guarantee.

With new Test & Go and Sandbox registrations suspended from midnight tonight, I hope they don't rapidly slam shut again ????

After Xmas / New Year: Thailand's new Covid-19 cases hit 6 month high.

As with anything that has a 'Thai' specific option you can be certain it will come with way too many pointless bureaucratic requirements, copies of IDs and, generally, more red tape than would be needed to fix the Titanic.  ????

Glad it's sorted.  It's the ability for Google to get its tentacles in to everything that I never use Google to sign in to anything (or Facebook).  Despite that Google still seems to find ways to become a nuisance; currently in the process of disentangling myself from everything Google and deleting everything everywhere I can think of (and yes Google I MEAN delete, not Archive!).

Open Wise, select 'Account' at bottom of screen, tap the 3 dots top right 'Settings' 'Unlock with Face ID' is there.

Indeed.

The main reason for doing the report was because I had different experience to couple of recent reports at CW.

 

Of significance was that ..

I did not have or provide a TM30.

I did not provide a receipt of 90 day report.

Only photocopies of bankbook pages required along with letter.

I did not provide "hand drawn map"

One set of copies ie passport photocopies.

 

Interesting update.  Are you using the 800K deposit method?

Pretty much what I have been saying all along, that this COVID outbreak will be used to rid the country of its sex-tourism and entertainment business and reputation.

 

As you say though, without a plan b, it won't work.

Exactly.  Covid has been the excuse they wanted, not a valid reason.

When I set my tag up it took me AGES to get through to someone who actually knew what they were doing.  All of the regular support channels were a waste of time, Twitter, Facebook and Email.  When I finally got a reply from someone who understood the system and what needed to be done, it was from a guy called Indrek J.  Whether he is still there I'm not sure but the drone staff might be able to see where they need to refer the problem too if they can trace the department he was / is in.

Interesting that, @Pib thinks tagging will always result in routing going via Bangkok Bank even if you select Kasikorn

I guess it must be how it gets set up and who does it.    I recall it was a bit of saga to get it set up as the TW general staff seemed pretty clueless, they had to refer it to a manager.  Possibly that person tagged it in a different way. Obviously as it was all working as I wanted it to I haven't wasted time checking, as I won't now IF it's all still working.

Regardless, in my case (at least up to last time) any transfer to Bangkok Bank showed up the next day at approx 2pm as an FTT / International Tx.  Any transfer to Kasikorn is instant, no idea what it shows up as, haven't looked since I changed to Bangkok Bank for this very reason.

Did you choose Long term stay? if so it might be useful

Yes.  I had my account tagged to only use Bangkok Bank for transfers to Bangkok bank and I always select 'Funds for long term stay'.  In all honesty though, I think it was the tagging that resulted in the routing only through Bangkok Bank rather than the funds reason.  Once I had that tag put on the funds would only go via Bangkok bank for a Bangkok Bank transfer and would always show as FTT, and that was before the 'Long Term Stay' reason was added to the list after this FTT part became an issue.  I only got them to tag Bangkok Bank transfers though so if ever I send to my Kasikorn account it arrives instantly.  Only noticed this thread today so will be interested to see if their system update has messed up my tag as well.

I'll know by tomorrow if all is working as it should.

Just did a small test transfer GBP to Bangkok Bank. It did not immediately credit to my account (as it does when I use Kasikorn) but whether that's due to today being a holiday I'm not sure.  App indicates funds will be paid out tomorrow so I'll see then.  Was going to test to see if a Kasikorn transfer would show up instantly still but I try to avoid having two transfers active at the same time.  Fingers crossed.

Boss: "OK, so we bought these water cannon trucks for 25 million each.  Any problems you can forsee?"

A: "Who's gonna drive them?"

Boss: "Thai cops"

A: "OK.  Who's gonna maintain them?"

Boss: "Thais"

A: "Ah"

After receiving emails and messages from numerous support personnel today saying that 'Request Certificate' was available for ALL customers, foreign or not, finally I got a reply saying that the function is NOT in fact available for foreigners.  Why am I not surprised ????  The mail did indicate that the matter has been passed to the relevant department for the problem to be addressed but I'll take that with a pinch of salt to be honest.  Wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to activate the functionality for foreign customers as well IF there was a will to do so, but then again TIT!
