Sony Days 2015

[TomCool]

Thought of getting Sony 55x8500c but worry about the restart problem. Have Sony solved the restart problem?

Two weeks of usage, never had a single restart issue. Touch wood

Anyone knows how to add apps shortcut to home screen?

How did you tell your usage hours?
What model is yours?
Did you ask for 1 more exchange by showing the usage hours to the delivery person?

I was at work when the technician came to make a replacement, my family members attended to him. I even wrote a small note to remind him to check the hours of usage. None was done and I had to do it myself, only to realise that it was a used set which they claimed to be "new". Brought this up to Sony directly and has been dragging for weeks. Disappointed.

Has anyone tried comparing between X8300C and W800C ? do you see any big difference between the 2 ?

I bought the x8300C and wanted to get additional sets but now thinking to get X800C instead. physically they both looked about the same.

What's the model?
Did the Sony staff that received your report about the inconsistent usage hours, appear "surprised"?
Did you get from Sony directly?

TV in power off mode, hold Display button, no. 5, Vol down together and Power on button.
Takes sometime for me to figure out display button. It's the one just below the numbers, left button

W800C. Meanwhile waiting for their reply as much time is wasted on this matter.

I have no restarting issues, before and after the firmware upgrade on x8500c

55X8500C cannot record free-to-air programmes ? how come ?

 

[minute_me]

My x8300C is connected to my LAN network....but I am not getting gigabit connection. Am i missing something ?

what kind of set up do you need to connect to my synology disk station ?

setting is kind of a pain compared to LG tv

 

[minute_me]

are there any mounting kit for the 2015 models to use the stand as wall mount ?

 

[TomCool]

The basic mounting bracket is included in the TV box.

my x8300C sometimes can detect my synology disk station connected by LAN network, sometimes it doesn't. i wonder what's wrong.

what is supposed to be the speed when you connect to LAN ?I am not getting Gigabit speed, but when i connect the LAN cable to my laptop, i am able to get gigabit.

should not be the TV, also experiencing issues with synology after the dsm 4.xx upgrades, just restart the NAS should work

I flagged this a few pages back: here & here.

I don't think the hardware is Gigabit-capable (only Fast Ethernet, i.e. 100Mbps). That is a disappointment though.

Also note that the TV is AC-capable, so that may be another approach to circumvent the 100Mbps-wired-limit.

Curious if other 2015 models from other brands are also non-gigabit-capable.

55x8500c has x1 chip whereas 55x800C does not have .

The x1 chip control 4k color and at the same time provide smooth, no lag gaming @ 120Hz. when using 55x800c for damanding games, the TV screen will go blank or reset itself at times.

I doubt it's the NAS problem. My 2 LG TV never have this problem.

I need to actually off the electrical switch for my Sony TV ( turn off on remote does not work) and then turn it on before it detects my NAS again.

Something is not right. hope future firmware solve this problem.

ALso, if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and you use the one flick remote, you can't bring up the on-screen keyboard for typing, have to type on the external connected keyboard.

Have you tried the Wifi speed ? my broadband is only 100MBPs, so it's kind of the same as wired connection.

 

[Tristan2009]

perhaps i should highlight a problem i faced yesterday (first and only time so far)

when i left the house, i press the power button to switch the screen off. power remains plugged.

when i got back 2 hours later, i press the power button again, my tv channels are all covered with a strong bright green tint. when Home button pressed, its a total blank green screen with no apps, or menu that can be seen. i turn off tv again, same problem.

i pull the plug, and turn on the main power and tv, and everything is back to normal.

anyone else encounter this? my is apparently on the latest firmware.

any owner of KDL-800C guide me on how to use the PIP feature.
when i click the PIP button on remote
"to use this feature, a system software update is required, please refer to reference guide"
I'm using the latest firmware PKG2.311.0010.PAA
