found this video extremely valuable. It had the uncanny ability to guess and answer all my questions in this context. Shows the experience of the content producer

Wow. I didn't know my tv ( 65x850d ) could do al that !!! thanks for the great video !!

Fabulous video! I have a Bravia X800D on the way. I currently use Plex/Netflix/Youtube etc all from my Xbox 1, but since they are all available on Android TV I'll try them out, and using HDMI ARC back to the receiver I wouldn't even need my XB1 on anymore for these functions. Thanks for the video, it's really helped!

It would be really helpful to have an up to date video for more recent Sony Bravia TVs. We have just bought a 2020 model with two tuners to allow for recording to HDD - many of the online help articles on the Sony website are no longer valid for this TV, and the online manual is not very user-friendly.

Very good review. Thanks Nick. I am writing this in 2018. Can you tell me other than image quality will there be any difference in the Sony W80F and the X75F? Because I am planning on buying one of these. Can these two TVs be enjoyed from any angle or do they have a 'sweet spot'?

I have heard positive and negative stuff about the motionflow in these TVs though. Is it good in the 2016 ones? Can you turn off Motionflow?

Hi can sony bravia smart TV play previous recordings from another Sony bravia smart TV?

[cool]

man i wish every tv company would just use android tv on their tvs instead of their own smart tv softwares. because they never consistently update it and not all apps, like plex, are in it.

[duane]

Do you even tech how to activate voice command

[appappmad]

Hello Nick and thank you for the great run through. I just bought a Sony XBR65X930d, and it looks really great. Two things - when I use the voice search I get this really loud beep, which I just can't seem to get rid of permanently - it is really loud and annoying, and I hope I can just get rid of it in the setting; I just haven't been able to find where. Also, is there a way to change the background on the Android home page - I find it really bland and boring, and keep seeing screen shots with beautiful backgrounds, and would like to do the same. Otherwise, with my Harmony remote this tv is not only easy to use, but is beautiful, especially with 4K from Netflix and HDR; it even upscales really nicely. Thanks. r

[almadean]

what controller are you using for voice command. Mine is not picking up voice command. Is there a special controller for this type of command?

[blairthandi]

Hi quick question, I bought a 4K Sony Bravia XBR49X700D. How would I talk to it, instead of typing, much easier. DO I need another special remote, also how to you watch movies and TV on Kodi? I want to watch hockey games in the fall.

[HEAVYHITTERS]

How do I enable the voice search with the remote that came in the box? I have the XBR55700D. I see the option on the screen but I don't see any option on the remote. I'm using a remote just like in the video

[kennyrollon]

[HawreKoyi]
