Not only is this TV Homey Pro friendly, I struggled to find any gripes, but I did manage to find one. I spent a ton of time researching this purchase, and after a month of use, I would share my experience about it.

I bought this tv in april and its a good tv i was very happy but after two months suddenly one day it doesnt turn on and when the technician came he said that its because of a power surge happened during the night but the tv was off there was no lightning.it was under warranty so the repair was free of cost and the main board was damaged as they said. now i have a fear of it happening again. i have bought a tv stabilizer though. i still wonder how sensitive these tvs are.

Hello, good review. How is the viewing angle and also how is the local dimming, do you notice blooming especially with HDR content? I am looking into this TV but I don't know if this has enough zones, having an OLED, this has become one of my pet peeves now.

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

There is a bit of blooming but you have to look for it. I'd say it's above average to high end, there's a detailed link in the description of the video that has samples if you want to see those. As far as viewing angle, the only small complaint I might have is reflection if viewed at an off angle with light's on the side, they do reflect and are noticeable in low light movies, night scenes. Viewed head on, no complaints about this at all.

How is it with USB Content in 720p 1080p ? And how is normal free to air SDR Tv Channels ? Color Clarity ?

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

The upscaler does a really good job for 720p and 1080p content. I haven't tried any tv channels so I can't comment there.

I like the speakers next to the TV, are they DIY ? thanks

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

They are DIY, I actually made a video about them on my other channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKHGpHqIra-SgM0si=uQ8VcZe8dJq38f2s you do need a large room for these, but the sound quality is awesome.

Sony's processor is hard to beat. How is the blooming? I realize anything other than oled will have some. I have a 2 year old LG mini led that I have configured so that I have very little. I'm just not that hung up over blooming as long as it's very little. Just curious what you thought about this one. Thanks.

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

I have no complaints, Sony did a great job. I continue to be impressed with how good low quality content looks. If you were to have subtitles on you can see a bit of blooming but it's not enough to distract. It also helps this thing is 85 inches, size helps in that case I think.

Did you look at a smaller oled tv in your toss up?

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

I did, I looked at more than I can remember. There were a few that looked better, but they were double the money. This was the best bang for my buck.

I’m looking to buy this tv but not sure how it can handle sports? I watch a lot of sports off Apple TV. I just returned a Hisense 75” u8k because it was terrible when watching sports. The ball would disappear and the fast moving sports scenes looked blurry. Does this tv have any of that?

@HouseDadLife 9 күн бұрын

I actually didn't like motion scenes until I went through the setup, now it's awesome, I don't watch any sports though, for me it was action movie scenes where the motion wasn't great on initial settings.

I am Italian and Sorry for my english First of all(Is my third language) I bought this TV and soon i LL receive It. Based on a lot of review and also on your video. The main problemi for me Is a things that no One know..maybe you can dolce my problem: Operating system on Google TV I had a tcl 845 with Google TV and i returned It. When i Watch KZbin videos 4k60fps or 4khdr or apps with 4khdr contents or dolby..the option, menù, was stuttering and LAG. I was watching a KZbin video 4khdr and It was leggings, sometimes i had tò click 3 times to give my TV the input tò lower the volume down or up or change the option of a things. This TV run Google TV too, have you any LAG or slow or stutter when you Watch a 4khdr film if you try tò change and option or move info menù while you are watching. Thanks a lot

@HouseDadLife 2 ай бұрын

I honestly have 0 complaints. Lag is usually more internet or router than hardware but it's possible. The TV has been great for me in all aspects so far.

I just purchased this same TV, I wanted the newer Sony 7 but I didn't think the small difference in picture quality was worth the huge price difference.

How is the off angle viewing at night with table lamps on?

@HouseDadLife Ай бұрын

There is reflection you'll notice on dark scenes at off angles. If you're only a bit off it's tough to see.

@rcud1 Ай бұрын

@@frodomom You have to be really off angle to notice a decrease. There is some glare on lights but not very bad. Has great color.

Black bars drive me nuts, but, morphing is so ugly I'd rather go that way. I can't stand looking at anything misshaped. I mean why the people making stuff don't just adopt and agree on a resolution to fit the display is a mystery to me. As far as this TV I haven't looked, I came to conclusion of "leave the native resolution" years ago.
