Should I Return Sony X90L For Sony Bravia 7

jerrykit — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:16:09 +0800

Good afternoon

I bought a Sony X90L during Harvey Norman Pre-Ramadan Sales early March.

I've seen them both but not side by side, overall picture quality for Bravia 7 seems better but not sure if topping up another RM3k justify the upgrade?

From what i read, viewing angles & reflection / glare handling on Bravia 7 seems bad but i can't tell much from showroom.

I would love to hear your opinions regarding this scenario.

Many Thanks

Side Note : TV is not delivered yet due to my apartment still under minor renovation.

Samsung Q990D Soundbar's Bass

jerrykit — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:41:04 +0800

Good day to you.

I'm going to move to an 1100sqft apartment maybe 2 months from now, not sure how big is the living room per sqft, most probably about 500sqft to 600sqft with L shape including kitchen i assume.

After months of studies, i will go for Sony X90L for TV, for audio, i'll go for soundbar with sub and rears mostly for movies, i'm no audiophile and yes i know book shelf speakers and real theatre system are far better no questions, but wife doesn't like them due to bulkiness, aesthetics & wires management.

So at the end, wife only approved soundbar so guessed that's the only way to go to enjoy not fully Atmos but still a condition which is much better than TV speakers.

I have read a lot and shortlisted Samsung Q990D and JBL bar 1000, some people like Samsung and some people like JBL bar and that's normal, depends on their needs, i know there are no soundbars that are best in movies and musics except if you go for higher tier like Sonos, my budget is about RM4-RM5k so Sonos is out of the question.

For movies, Samsung Q990D seems a better choice due to clarity and cripse voice for movies but a lot of comments were saying the bass is bad they can't feel anything or it's lacking, but some have different opinions so it's little confuse for me, so would love to ask the experiences of Q990D owner, is the bass lacking or it's sufficient but not very punchy?

Actually i did go for sound test for both but due to the environment (big areas + crowds) so i can't really tell.

I'm totally new in audio since it's my 1st time buying TV and Sound System and what i wrote was not totally correct.

It would be so great if owners could share their experiences and hopefully i will be on the right path

Thanks in advanced and much appreciated.

Which 24" Monitor should i go for?

jerrykit — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 14:13:41 +0800

Good day.

I'm looking for a 24" 1080p / 144hz monitor for gaming, not so competitive, mainly witcher 3, far cry, tomb raider & assassin's creed odeyssey.

Just that i'm not sure which one to go for since each are having it's own pros & cons.

Seeking advices from the gurus, but from what i read, ViewSonic XG2401 & XG2402 are the most sought but even so, they still have their own problems though.

Good day,

Initially i'm thinking about Zotac 1070 8gb mini but after all the reviews & researches, maybe i'll just straight take a leap & go for 1 of the card above.

Normally will you guys go for it? choosing this brand it's because it's not as expensive as others famous brands.

Would like to see what you guys think about it.

Thanks

Suitable GPU For An Old System

jerrykit — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 11:47:20 +0800

Good day,

Ok, i have this very old system, probably 8-9 years old & still running though, it's

Processor : i5 750 2.66 ghz
GPU : Asus HD 7870 DCU II 2GB (damaged last night)
Mobo : Asus P7H570-V EVO
RAM : 12 GB (Forgot the name)

I'm not sure if ASUS GTX1050TI 4G STRIX GAMING / OC can be used for my system.

I'm looking for a new GPU for the system & would like to ask for recommendations.

Don't plan to get a new system at the moment.

Thanks

Firm single mattress recommendation

jerrykit — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 19:44:51 +0800

Old mattress worn out and went to get a new one yesterday. Asked the boss which single mattress is firm and good, not sag/dip/sink easily, suggested unidream, Rm250, didn't ask so much regarding material as long as its firm, tried on for a while and it's good. Ended up still sagged after around 5-10 mins sleeping at home. Money wasted and going to look for a new one. So would like to ask for recommendation here, thanks a lot.

Black stain still coming back

jerrykit — Mon, 21 May 2018 18:23:47 +0800

It's been a week since my car is coated, 5 washes just within a week, black stain started noticeable, just not as bad as before coating which came back after just 1 rain previously.

Yes my car is white & it's parked outdoor 24/7, even coated, i think my car will turn grey in a 3 months, i've totally out of ideas what to do next, but anyhow, still need to continue maintaining.

Guess if you really like your car to be clean & shine most of the time in Malaysia's weathers, you need a car porch & covered parking, else it's really hard if you know what i meant, nuff said.

Frequent Car Washing

jerrykit — Tue, 15 May 2018 01:06:43 +0800

Good day.

I know that everyone likes their cars to be clean & very nice looking all the times with those sleek & glossiness, so am i.

So do you think washing your car after every rain or once it gets dirty consider being too mainstream or weird?

Just did my car coating on 12/5/18 Saturday & only by today which is 15/5/18, just for few days, I've already had 3 washes, wonder if anyone did the same before?

I just want to keep it clean but it's real hard due to frequent raining lately & i don't have have covered parking, just 24/7 on the road side

Thanks

Recommended Car Coating

jerrykit — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 20:26:43 +0800

Good day,

I'm currently looking for car coating and i've came to 2 brands which are Cquartz & IGL.

I've been doing researches for weeks but still haven't found anything promising and i guess coating isn't that popular in M'sia.

My car is white, just polished it around CNY, wash once a week & wax once per 2-3 months, just in 2 months those black stains &
watermark are coming back fast & obvious which normal car wash can't clean them except polishing & that's why i'm going for coating &
in hope it can fix my problem.

For your info, those stains were already visible after a rain as the same day i polished.

My car is already 8 years & i'm not sure if the original factory clear coating is getting weaker thus such problem.

I don't wanna respray as i prefer original paint.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

185/60/R15 to 195/55/R15 Profile

Are the changes huge if you replaced 185/60/R15 with 195/55/R15 tyres in terms of overall look & handling?

Tyres Recommendations for Suzuki Swift

jerrykit — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 11:07:20 +0800

Good Morning,

I'm currently driving suzuki swift (2nd Generation) with 185/60/R15.

I've been doing researches for 2 weeks now results are narrowed down to

Bridgestone EP200
Michelin MX2
Yokohama Blu Earth AE50
(Not sure if there are any other similiar choices)

The more i study, the more confusing it gets, regarding to those 3 models,
there are peoples saying they are good and some said there are bad.

I'm not an aggresive driver, most of the time travelling at 80km/h-120km/h

My budgets are around RM200 minus/plus per piece,

Hoping to get tyres with "decent" in overall aspects if there's any model that can likely to fit into this caterogy

So i would like to ask experienced users to give me some enlightenments.

Thank you so much

Sony Ericsson S500I

jerrykit — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:47:03 +0800

Hi guys, i've been using nokia for almost 4 years and now it's time to change due to my hp is started to deteriorate and i would like to try out sony ericsson s500i. it's appearance seems so cool with slide mechanism, tiny, nice shape and gloss surface with nice sounds as well. i know 3g is not included n the camera is just 2.0 megapixels and it costs around 1k. i just wonder if it's worth buying from you guys point of views. it looks so slim and if once hit on the floor i'm not sure if it will split into 2. futhermore i heard a rumours about the keypads are so weak where the whole pad will crack or break if you push too hard, correct me if i'm wrong. sorry for SE s500i users, just a rumours i heard. thank you
