my OLED doesn't do that, it's pretty crisp and good. the only bad thing is the back button is a bit android-y and unpredictable but that's about it.

yeah, at least apple tv doesn't do 4k so they don't have to worry about 4x scaling every app

Yeah please let us know what it is so we can a) never buy it and b) shame the company who designed it

it's a highly reviewed Sony XBR900E which I purchased for 1800 earth dollars. it took me 3 hours to get it to send audio to the sound bar that it CAME WITH.

not only is the interface lag super bad, the remote is by far the weakest I've ever used.
press 'home' wait 5 seconds... nothing happened? must have been the remote let me press it again. then it flashes the home menu for a half a second and disappears because it was loading the menu the whole time and the second press cancelled it.

looks good tho

i got a vizeo p65 c1 open box at best buy for $900. it doesnt have a tv tuner, they have to market it as a theater display or something. also there is no remote i run it via my ipad/iphone. this is needs suiting though as my yamaha receiver also has an app to control it with so i can do everything from my phone

its mounted on the wall above my predator x34 monitor. it looks nice and 4k / hdr is sweet, plus i can tell people ' actually i dont even own a tv :smug:' while being technically correct

i bought a 65" 4k vizio e series which has nothing but a chromecast built in that they market the same way. it also didnt include a remote

people must not have liked that tho because the last software update is walking it back. when you go to the casting input instead of the chromecast picture background theres a big popup telling you to go to a website and put in this code and theyll send you a free remote so that you can then control apps which you can now download to the tv

i liked it better when it was just a $600 tv with a chromecast

both the original and the third-party replacement wore out, as lithium batteries do when you use them long enough. i'm glad i can keep using the last good android phone.
