Sony Days 2015

[Siesta]

Try a couple of times. Still restart every 20mins. Now goin to have a one to one exchange.

Have you tried going to [Home], [Settings],[Storage&Reset] and Erase everything back to factory reset? I did that and the resetting stopped for the last 4 days.

...The starting up (the part with the colour android word forming ) is a bit slower than I would have liked though....

Do you start-up your unit with the LAN cable connected. I asked because I did it this way, & wasn't even shown the Android splash-screen (which is kinda like the boot-up sequence of windows 7 machine, i.e. the 4 colour balls)

I just now at mustafa saw the sony booth there selling 55X8500C at $2769 with total free 4 pairs of 3D glasses!! I think is a steal!!

Does the $2769 includes wall-mounting service (& the wall-mount itself)?

The service center called me yesterday said today there will be a firmware patch to address this bug. You may wish to put your faith in that if you dun want the hassle of replacement.

Ordering my set now. HN sales mentioned new batch hv no issues. So far their mounted set whole day never restart. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Yes. I have my LAN connected from the time of installation till now.

So you agreed Sony panel real hardware "speed" is only 100hz or 120hx and not even at 200hz or 240hz specification?

So specification of like 600hz or 1200hz are in fact software only feature?

Sometime in only takes to open up the set to confirm like this one from LG. The panel is not even LG.

Also, I suggest you get so real specification for set running at local or 50hz countries.

This is enough, please. Just stop. You don't know what you're talking about and you can't understand what I'm saying at all.

I made it very clear. Stop saying that the 2015 Sony TVs have 200/240Hz refresh rates. The native refresh rates for Sony TVs this year is only up to 100/120Hz. And that makes a difference because a native 200/240Hz refresh rate panel does have motion control improvements over the 100/120Hz ones, when implemented properly (and it is implemented properly for the w904A). If people read your nonsense and buy a 2015 Sony TV assuming that it has 200/240 Hz native refresh when it does not, are you going to compensate them?

All that motionflow etc software stuff that you are saying, that is old news. Everyone here knows that already. It is not even news 5 years ago. That thing about TV companies not making their own panels. Goodness, people already know that long ago so stop patronising us.

Btw, found some interesting settings-menu:

Very handy for people who doze off while watching TV (& also as a fail-safe in case leaving the house without turning the TV off)

The inetgrated wifi receiver can be turned off!:

LOLWUT:

No new firmware for the X8500C:

Dunno if the version no. is the firmware version or not:

how come Tristan2009 got apps like bloomberg har
mine one don't have

I got the Bloomberg app but no netflix:

 

[vuzuuu]

Bros & Sis,
I've installed the KODI apps and wondering how could I stream some HK drama series on my android tv? What kind of settings or files I need to addon in order to watch those HK drama series, HD preferred.

Sony called to follow up my case and according to them there'll be a new firmware available on the 8th July. Just leave the TV on and it will probably take around 30mins to update on its own. Don't forget to change the AUTO update to ON.

Thanks.

Sony panel do have native 200Hz refresh rate. Especially those on Andriod model. See for yourself.

Motionflow is not old new. Different maker just use different name but similar type of implementation.

This is no surprise to industry unless you are talking about those monitor class type of panel. Also take note, some low end panel in fact is only 50Hz but double up as 100Hz using similar kind of technology. This is for cost reason and improve in processor technology.

Whether you really has 50, 100 or 200Hz panel. The only way to tell is open up the TV and check. Sony or other brand is not going to tell you what type/brand of panel they used in that particular TV model. And it may be changed in different batch.

So never trust these sales man in telling you using Sony/Samsung or yyy panel. Worse if they tell you they are made in Japan!

Any ideas where can we see the display or demo of the 75 inch? Really interested to get the 75 x8500c. Find it weird to buy without even demo. Sony days price is $6999. Best denki road show selling at "special" $6799. Can go lower if u r sincere to buy.

First of all, like I said in one of my earlier posts, I've not come across a 2015 Sony TV with 200Hz native and I've posted links with all the specs. If you want to correct me, please do so but with some independent facts instead of just mouthing off without any basis.

Again as I said, we all know Sony and other brands do use panels manufactured by other companies and it is not news. I myself witnessed the panel replacement of a Samsung 60F7100 and confirmed that the panel was a sharp one. You are not telling me anything new that I don't already know. Apart from physically stripping out the panel as what you have suggested there are threads out there advising on panel manufacturers based on factory codes embedded in certain factory settings.

To be honest all this to and fro over some specification on paper is not really too important. We go to shop and just see everything with our eyes. Sometimes we also just choose with some preconceptions like branding, friends recommendations and so on. So the specifications, whether superior or not end up become secondary.

End of the day lets just move on and just choose whatever we fancy. Cheers

Usually I'm not too concerned with specs but I've observed that this chap likes to sprout, in my opinion, misleading info and I think it is high time that I point it out.

Am I not supposed to be able to playback .YUV files natively on the X8500C?

In this case, Sony should not continue to use this word "motionflow" in their advertisment materials! Do you happen to know what panel model is used in model x9300c and x9400c?

Yes, but if you dont look carefully. Sometime product can be over sold by sales person. For example. Sony sales man will tell you his tv model is 1200 refresh rate vs x brand also at 1200 refresh rate. He may not tell you it is in fact motionflow XR to 1200 from the real refresh rate.

Well there are also forumers here that only want to buy Sony because they simply like Sony or LG because of its IPS panels etc. So what the sales man say may have limited effect.

I am no expert in these nitty gritty tech stuff so I will not wade into it.

In any case I think many forumers here also know salespeople have their own agenda. So end of the day many forumers already just buy what they want or what they like.

Not all models are on display. I believe you place order they can arrange.

Perhaps someone could start a thread for sony x85c series etc so that people can constructively discuss and share settings , problems with tv, firmware etc.

Everytime I come in all I see is pointless argument about refresh rates
