One of the best 50" inch 4k hdr TV's around
When this TV first came out it was over £1000 makes sense why with Android TV os and 2gb Ram and 16gb rom it's a fully fledged 4k 120hz android tablet. Sony make some of the best TV's. Best of all the fact is it's very hard to find an android TV that's stable and one that will run all apps without problems and this TV is both stable and runs all apps. A really good free 4k movie app is stremio and this TV runs it perfectly. With an 800hz panel drive movies are smooth like butter. Can turn off screen too which is cool. Has 4 Hdmi ports like premium TV's do instead of 2 or 3 and two of the ports are 4k/60hz so Gaming is sorted. The addition of a USB 3.0 port alongside two USB 2.0 ports also shows how powerful this TV is. The bezel is ultra thin for a 2016 TV. TV remote response is super fast and smooth unlike most android TV's which are very sluggish and freeze etc. The voice control works but isn't all that sophisticated. The x1 4k processor does an excellent job of playing YouTube 4k/60hz movies and h.265 4k/60hz hdr movies without stutter. The 5ghz ac Wi-Fi works pretty well too. Sound is good too nothing special. Only one downfall is chrome browser is not optimised so can't use browser for 4k movies. Other than that the TV works flawlessly with minimum glitches and hiccups. The TV turns on quick and loads android quick. This TV is also a really good solid build metal/plastic. Another cool feature about this stable android os is that if your running an app and you turn the TV off, it will continue within the app when you turn the TV back on again. This TV is also very light in weight for a 2016 49"inch 4k tv. There is hdr10 and hlg modes but no Dolby vision, both hdr modes work well but some movies look better with hdr turned off. Can connect a mouse and keyboard and use it as a computer. The stand is solid and is in the middle of the TV which is better instead of being at the edges of the two sides. I bought this TV for £180 in 2022 and it came out in 2016 has android 9 pie os so will go another 7 years easily. 5 stars. Highly Recomended.
