Congrats...Review :
- Display : nothing to say about Sony's display Quality. an IPS display with 4k Resolution supports HDR10, High Log Gamma(HLG) though it does not supports Dolby Vision or HDR 10+ but that doesn't mean there is any compromise with Picture Quality. With X reality Pro Processor and Motion-flow XR 200 gives a smooth transition and video experience. I tried SD channel with Jio Set top box, and believe me it's upscale technology is on another level. no words on 1080P Quality.
- Sound: Most impressive part of this model is Sound Quality, 10w+10w two no's baffle speaker producing base at high Quality. I don't think I am in immediate need for any sound bar. the sound is quite enough for 10*12 Room.
- Connectivity : The only con here they didn't gave HDMI eArc port. Other than this they gave 3 HDMI 2.1 port with one port having arc. apart from this, 1 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0, 1 SPDIF , 1 LAN, 1 Head-Phone Out port. Dual Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 HID & A2DP, Apple Airplay, Apple Homekit and Chromecast built in.
- OS: Google TV along with Android 11( Feb,2023 patch) out of box which I think may slow down with time in future, a resource hungry OS is always a con.
- Remote: Nothing new in Smart Remote. Though having Sony Liv/ D+H/ Netflix/ Prime Video/ YT/ YT Music Hotkey. Remote button are so down that it's very easy to clean. But I love Samsung TV remote having C type port for charging and solar panel for charging back up. This kind of innovation should be needed.
- Storage : 16 GB On Board storage but 9.1GB available out of Box with 1GB Ram.
- Power Consumption : 95watt(standby 0.5watt) but I love Sony for it's Power Adopter. its having 19.5V DC power adopter with X protection pro scheme which supports 100-240V AC (no need of Stabilizer whereas Samsung TV generally support 220-240V AC)
- Warranty : 1 Yr Comprehensive but Service Centre said They are additional 1Yr warranty on Panel which Sony never advertised. I enquired about EQ scheme, and it was 5500/- for additional 2 year ( no Sum insured value). Planning to go for EW scheme within one year.
- Gaming Feature: I don't have PS devise so can't comment on how it's gaming performance will be when it support ALLM and HLG. but 50HZ Refresh Rate will be a con definitely.
eARC -enhanced Audio Return Channel
It's meant for lossless audio formats likes of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X ..which needs HDMI 2.1 which should provide 48 Gbps speed..
Sadly ur TV doesn't have this ..that's y they didnt provided eARC 2.1 port...
So it's not a con...
Eco Dashboard
It's added in latest TV/Google TV software update..my TV also a old 2022 model..i got it in last SW update itself..it's can't be removed or uninstalled...u may also get in coming updates..
