Skyworth OLED TV 65 Inch 65XC9000 Original Android 10.0 Televisor Support 4K HDR With LG Panel

Description

✅ What looks good

• It uses an OLED panel, offering deep blacks and high contrast compared with conventional LED/LCD TVs. SKYWORTH North America+1

• 4K resolution (3840×2160) is supported. FullSpecs+1

• Supports HDR formats: HDR10, HLG and also Dolby Vision according to some listings. FullSpecs+1

• The smart platform is Android TV (which should mean broad app support). SKYWORTH North America+1

• Based on user & forum comments: owners say the picture quality (where panel and OLED benefit matter) is “surprisingly good for the price”. For example:

  “They appear to use the same panel as the LG CX series… If anyone familiar with an OLED walked into the room now and saw it all it would be something like ‘nice OLED, what model?’” AVS Forum

• Good value: It appears to be one of the more affordable OLED options, which is attractive if you want OLED quality without premium brand pricing. TechRadar+1

⚠️ What to watch / trade-offs

• Refresh rate: The 65XC9000 is listed with a native 60-Hz refresh rate. Newegg.com+1

  • If you’re doing a lot of gaming (with modern consoles or PC at high frame rates) you might miss features like 120 Hz, HDMI 2.1, high refresh, VRR (variable refresh rate). Indeed one review mentions the XC9000 doesn’t support HDMI 2.1 or high-end connection features. Digital Trends

• Brightness: Some listings show a peak brightness of around 500 nits. Newegg.com

  • For OLEDs this is modest; in a very bright room you might find reflections or ambient light reduce the “pop” of HDR.

• Brand & support: Skyworth is less established (in many markets) compared to brands like LG, Sony, Samsung. That may mean:

  • Fewer local service/support centers

  • Fewer long-term firmware updates (though Android TV helps)

  • Possibly less robust calibration / image processing compared to premium brands

• Confirming “LG panel”: While users and forums suggest it uses the same panel as an LG “CX series” panel, I didn’t find a definitive manufacturer-certificate showing it is the exact LG panel. Always good to verify with the seller.

• Ports / connectivity: One review states “you only get three HDMI ports, and none of them appear to be HDMI 2.1” for the US version. Digital Trends

  • If you have multiple HDMI devices (game console, streaming box, Blu-ray) you’ll want to check how many ports, what types.

• Software: While Android TV is good, the version and speed of updates might be less generous than premium brands.

• Regional model: Make sure the model you buy is appropriate for your region (voltage, tuner, warranty) especially since you are in Rwanda (or East Africa) — shipping/importing may raise issues.

🧐 My verdict: Is it a good buy?

If I were summarizing: Yes, it can be a very good buy provided you are aware of the trade-offs and it matches your use-case. Specifically:

• If you want great picture quality for movies/TV in a moderately lit room, and you don’t need 120Hz gaming or ultra-bright HDR in sunlight, then this model offers a lot of value.

• If you are a gamer or you’re putting it in a bright living room with direct sunlight and you want top-tier features (120Hz, HDMI 2.1, ultra-bright panel), then you might want to step up to a more premium model.

📋 Important checks before buying

Here are some things you should check / ask the retailer:

1. Model exact version for your region — Ensure it’s the 65XC9000 version (or correct model) and check specs (refresh rate, panel manufacturer).

2. Panel manufacturer — If the “LG panel” claim is important to you, ask for documentation or evidence.

3. Refresh rate & gaming features — If you plan gaming, check whether the TV supports 120 Hz, HDMI 2.1, VRR etc. If not, factor that in.

4. Brightness — Check how bright it gets (nits) and whether that will suffice in your room (especially if your room has ambient light).

5. Warranty & service — Check local warranty terms in Rwanda or East Africa, availability of service/parts.

6. Inputs / ports — Number of HDMI, type (HDMI 2.0 vs 2.1), ARC/eARC for sound system, USB, tuner.

7. Sound system — Built-in speakers on many TVs (including this one) are modest; if you want a strong audio experience you may want a soundbar.

8. Return / support — Because brand is lesser known, check the return policy in case you get a panel or software issue.
