    Our Sony Bravia A95K showed up and it looks STUNNING, but how much are you willing to spend chasing minor improvements over similarly beautiful displays? Is THIS the TV that ends up in my family room?

    We were wrong about Dolby Vision and the PS5. All of the "Perfect for PS5" branding is about auto-applying HDR settings but not Dolby Vision specifically, and the articles popping up a few months ago about Sony secretly enabling it weren't quite right. Thanks Jon Porty.

    IMAGINE if TV remotes had instead of dedicated "netflix" or whatever buttons you instead had like 4 customizable shortcuts. They could either launch apps on the TV, or perform a multistep action such as changing input and adjusting the sound/screen settings when you want to switch over from watching a movie to playing a game. I can't think of a single time I've used the button outside of looking at the remote and wondering to myself "why don't I use these".

      This video made me waste an hour by first wondering why i can't lower the brightness on my smartphone screen and then changing between screens to compare. I realized how shit my old LCD TV screen really is and then i started comparing smartphone screens since i have an LCD 1080p smartphone, one with LCD IPS HD+, one with LCD IPS HD+ and HDR, an OLED HD+ with HDR.
      What i concluded is that although my old LCD TV couldn't come close to my IPS HD+ HDR screen my IPS HD+ smartphone wasn't really that much away when i turn the brightness to full. The OLED HD+ HDR was a further step ahead but not a crazy difference though.

    Vincent Teoh of HDTVTest showed how you can significantly boost net connection speed by turning off Wireless in TV settings and using a LAN to USB adapter on the USB 3 port. You made a good point about gigabit controllers though, at the price it cost it should include one. Vincent also has a vid on how to significantly speed up the Google UI btw.

    This is the first YT video I think I've ever seen where the 1440p HDR settings are auto-selected on my Android phone. I think it mostly just cranks the brightness to get the contrast but either way it looks great. Eye-searingly great. Think maybe it was about as simple for Google to flip a toggle after a certain someone (several people) made a fuss about it? If yes, thanks all involved. If no, thanks anyway to all involved. Including Google for finally implementing it on more supporting devices.

    I don't know if their current batch of OLED panels will feature this same setup option, but my absolute favorite feature of the Sony panels I've helped configure in the past is the ability during setup to just configure them as dumb panels. I don't generally use the smart functionality of televisions because I have mine connected to a PC, so I thoroughly appreciate them providing that option. Also, unlike Samsung, they don't try to spam you with ads. Basically the only place that even remotely seems like it contains ads is just the recommended viewing section that uses your viewing history to try to recommend you content they think you'll like. And that's already something built into Android TV anyway, so I don't think it is nearly as offensive as what Samsung has done with their stuff. Maybe Samsung will change their ways, but I distrust them too much already to spend thousands of dollars on a television from them and just hope they won't try to spam me with ads.

    Why they can't have all of them is also always my question. I mean I can understand that low end TVs don't implement DV, it won't give them much anyway, but HDR10+ is only 10.000$ a year (or free if you don't need their Logo and certification) there's absolutely no reason, why basically anything that has HDR10 wouldn't have HDR10+, you don't even need extra hardware, you only need a bit of firmware (if you sell 1.000.000/year devices and then the 10.000$/year isn't basically any money, compared to DVs 1$/device).
    And no HDR10+ isn't technically very different from DV except the 12bit, that's not available in any TV yet.

    I wish I was one of Linus's kids man. Imagine seeing Adventure Time as a child on that thing...

    I got a C1 Oled from LG, I am satisfied with the purchase. Thankfully prices went down when these new TVs came out, worth it for a low budget. One day Ill get one of these tvs maybe.

    Y'all were mocking Bravia Core but it is actually amazing! It's unfortunately limited to a selection of their Bravia TVs and I believe their latest Xperia phone and is the *_only_* place you can get the IMAX Enhanced versions of their movies (such as all the different Spider-Man movies) and is the best streaming service for the movies that _are_ on there because of their "Pure Stream" technology (high bitrate content)
    I would love to have access to it as I really want the IMAX Enchanced versions of the MCU Spider-Man movies 🥺
