U can check the specs of 2 TV and see if U really paying for brand.

for example
Sony supports Dolby vision, Sharp does not
Sony support atmos, Sharp does not
Sony has 16GB of local storage, Sharp did not state in specs
Sony motion ENHANCER is 100hz, Sharp did not state so assume 50,60hz

even so, if you cannot see/hear the difference then go with Sharp. really depends on your use case.

Thanks. I ordered the Sony 49" X8500H for $1200 considering the points you shared.

Not sure if this is good or bad.

All 2021 Sony TVs will run the Google TV operating system, which replaces Android TV.

Google TV integrated the Android operating system and the Google Chrome web browser to create an interactive television overlay on top of existing online video sites to add a 10-foot user interface, for a smart TV experience.

Also brighter OLED

and much more ex. :)

Good or bad there is no choice. From below it’s still android just skin to TV UX

If you get a tv with native refresh of 50/60hz, you will encounter stutters for 23.976fps movies.

So what’s your solution?
Blu ray are always at 23.976fps or 24p.
NTSC is 60hz and PAL 50hz.

Usually people look for 100/120hz panels, with 120 being roughly a multiple of 24p, to handle these frame rate more smoothly.

Panels of a lower frequency have to use the 3:2 pull down which is not so fantastic.

Well there are SW to handle this issue. This 2018 TCL 5 series at 60hz manage it well with no issues. In 2021 this maybe a thing of the past

Will the existing TV (2019, 2020 variant) be able to update to Google TV? Currently have a 9500G in my living room and planning to buy a 8000H for my bedroom.

This one involves adjusting the refresh to 48hz which is quite rare and I don’t think it’s safe to assume other models can do this.

Judder and shutter issue from the test below seem to be improving seem like most tv passed, some ppl are really sensitive, most ppl not. Technology 2018 already there for entry brands its 2021 things trickle down over time. Tv these days more focus on brightness this year. I read even tv SOC can support 120hz, some brand intentionally cap it at 60hz.
