and at one point a Google ID is requested which is necessary to use most of the smart TV features because it runs the Android TV operating system

The picture settings are much more defined and support more advanced features like: reality construction, color grading, color ranges as well as levels, brightness, sharpness, clarity, etc

Another feature that is a favorite for this set is that it supports AirPlay, so I can beam video from my iPhone or iPod.

It has eARC which is an amazing feature for a TV this cheap

While it may sound like a trivial feature, it certainly comes in handy and we’re becoming more and more used to it

I can't speak for the sound or the Smart TV features, as I have the TV connected to an Onkyo receiver and use a plethora of other devices (PS4, XBox One, Apple TV) for streaming purposes

It doesn't have banding because sony ripped out the smooth gradation feature from the last model

So the Samsung, upon further inspection, was in some ways a downgrade than the prior year's model which is disappointing-also lacking some other features after i did a ton of researching on rtings and reddit

This is an important feature for gaming, and especially next-gen consoles

You pay for nice new features you will never be able to utilize.

We also enjoy the Netflix feature that adjusts the settings to what is best for the movie

Please be aware that the highly advertised features for this TV are false

Amazing picture quality and a lot of great features specially with the android tv built in

I like the wallpaper feature which turns on when tv is on rest mode

This Sony supports all the new features and the picture is a real step up from my old 4k tv.

(very good quality, excellent in dark scenes) the voice command option on the remote is great, and all of the smart features are very quick and accurate.

In that mode colors are bad, picture is dull.- Last software update that Sony pushed to support 120Hz and additional features of PS5, was a total disaster

A few years ago I purchased the 2018 version of this TV and I absolutely love the picture quality and features of this TV

Works great for movies as well with plenty of features to get the best picture quality, including upscale feature for 8k (not the best, but it's definitely noticeable)

Love the smart tv features so far

Good forward thinking features for you to grow into

It doesn't have banding because sony ripped out the smooth gradation feature from the last model

the 2020 LG NANO is a good example of a TV with better features on paper, but I went to look at both sets and they were side by side, even though I went to purchase the NANO

It is a nice feature for this TV to be Alexa-enabled

Great picture and features, but has an audio sync issue that is very annoying.

The feature turns text blurry and drops quality dramatically

Great customization features and perfect picture and sound quality

If you are looking for a television which will support the advanced features of the PS5 or the new Xbox, this is a great option to consider.

Those advertised features are not available to anyone at all here in the USA

Quick, easy, feature rich

The remote control lacks some very common, and in my opinion, necessary, features for any television remote

Another cool feature that’s really convenient is that the television will automatically turn on and go to the correct input when you turn on one of the connected HDMI devices

I have not looked into any of the "smart" TV features other than turning off all tracking and personalized

Buyers beware as I believe Sony’s lack of communication is very disappointing and as noted the TV cannot perform as advertised

The set up process is really easy and straightforward as

If you're not a Google home enthusiast, I don't think you're out of luck as most everything is going to work as you'd expect even if you had some other type of system

I've actually boycotted Sony for the past 30 years or so as much as I could (with a few exceptions) because of the way they like to fragment the market (uh, think Apple) and not really provide any competitive or cost benefit in doing so

n’t work out

n’t feel comfortable with this in the long run

n’t top the picture!
