Shop a 10 bit panel, with 'HDR Premium' branding.

Anything else is an 8 bit panel, and don't support wide color gamut HDR which is what makes 4K HDR worth the hype.

Please don't spread FUD. No Sony TV (even the 6k USD) will have the HDR Premium stick and will still present 10 (or even 12bit) monitor with wide gamut over 95% of spectrum. You have to research the model instead of blindly believing a tag.

  • Samsung does make great displays, and I never said they didn't. I pointed out that they are returned far more often for defects and that they dial back their noise algorithms, but I also suggested them numerous times.

I guess you have more experience, but my switch from Samsung to Sony wasn't that great. I got the Sony KDL-50W656A three years ago, and whenever this one breaks I'll be switching back to Samsung, the user interface in those are night and day.

The screen itself is nice, with an elegant design and the built-in speakers are enough for me. The bad mainly comes from the firmware, Sony did a poor job there. Smart TV sucks, all the apps seem like webapps and Netflix always hangs up for some odd reasons. Whenever there is an update my CI+ module stops working, I have to unplug it to watch TV again. It only has two HDMI ports and one USB, which is currently taken by the webcam, so no Chromecast for this TV but I can at least use the laggy miracast built-in.

Sorry to hear that, but perhaps you didn't got a version with fast processor. My father and father-in-law Sony TVs have a very slow load on Netflix and other apps, mine (65X850C) loads it so fast that it beats PS4, Roku and any other device I tried. And seeing you only have 2 HDMI inputs haven't you bought the lower entry level tv since even my 46LED 5 years ago from Sony already had 4 HDMI entries?

Your comment doesn't make any sense.  If you want to play 4k with a PC you still need the 4k TV as well in addition to the PC.  If you don't want 4k on a bigger screen, nobody is forcing you.

Except PS4 isn't a true 4k its upscaled and I can easily use DSR on my PC to do the exact effect without needing a 4k TV or monitor.

The only thing really advancing is HDR.

I again just do not like this console half generation thing going on at all.

So you don't need 4k monitor or TV to do 4k PC gaming, you must be a wizard Harry.
