Think again.
Well I suppose it depends on what you find acceptable input lag. A lot of TV's will have 80ms of input lag even in game mode.
You need to look up each and every model number to find out what reviewers find their input lag figures to be.
Anything below 16ms will be ideal as that'll be 1 frame at 60fps.

How laggy is this for gaming ?
Uridium to Daytrader
6 Nov 15#44
I don't think gaming lag is a concern on any 2015 range TV...all the manufacturers now include gaming modes to reduce any input lag

That's odd, I got the model number here Your text here, I thought that's what I had. However checking the box it says 43 inch W80C. Mine is definitely Android though as it has the google play store

most of the major issues appear to be when the tv is linked to surround sound systems. when watching kodi or Netflix etc the sound will drop out for a second every 1- mins, its very annoying. the unresponsiveness seems to be linked this also, as mine will only turn on sometimes when I turn the ps4 on first. ps4 is connected to surround, which is then connected to tv.
like I said, I love the quality of the tv, but far too many niggley problems with them. should never have been released in their current state

Mine is in the bedroom so just running on internal speakers. No, I've not had that yet. I've had it where it won't change channel on the internal tuner which needed unplugging to clear. Maybe as mine isn't my main set I've just not come across the problems yet

The 43W805 isn't an android TV though, it is Sony's Android implementation on this TV that is causing all the issues.

do you have an external 5.1 surround system hooked up to the tv? or do you just have the tv outputting sound via the speakers. you ever have the tv go completely unresponsive when I standby mode, to the point where you press the power button on the remote, then 5 mins later it decides to switch on.

That's fair enough. I have to say I don't have this actual model, mine is a 43W805. I haven't had any major issues yet, just an occasional lock up now and then. I was just trying to make the point that updates are happening (which I found to be a refreshing change as I also have a Samsung TV!). If there are hardware faults too though then I guess that's more serious.. and a shame as I've been impressed with mine so far.

My Bravia had a firmware update this morning that (finally) activated YouView. I've not tested hdd recording but that was due to be added in the same firmware release I believe. It's the 2nd firmware update I've had in 4 weeks so at least they are attempting to work the issues..

problem is that these tvs have a lot of issues that are still not sorted. issues that have existed for more than 6 months. there is a lot of opinion appearing that the hardware inside the tv, is not upto the job it was meant for. so no amount of software updates will sort them.
I'm hoping this is not the case, as I love the picture quality on my 4k tv. but the constant sound drop out is really starting to be a problem. I have been hoping that it would have been sorted by now, but it doesn't look like its coming anytime soon. I have had the tv for around 3 months now, but seriously considering (reluctantly) to return it
Excuse my ignorance, I'm not very technically minded, but what are the advantages of getting the wireless soundbar?

LG falls down for me due to most models only having 2 x HDMi ports. Most of us have more than 2 items to attach these days!

From the website the Sony has 11 with almost 5 star as the LG has 9 with 4 star. Everyone has their own MAKE of TV which they prefer, I like Sony and Samsung as I think they make the better products and screens, especially Sony with their Bravia technology.

Thanks Danjw91. It's weird the LG seems to have amazing reviews yet there aren't many for this Sony and the majority of them are quite poor.
The Sony has better reviews, my first 4k TV was an LG and I took it back as the wifi was shocking on it, couldn't connect to my wifi downstairs. I've got a Samsung one now as the deal was unbeatable at the time but I love Sony TVs, especially Bravia ones and my Samsung came with a wireless soundbar which makes a big different and this comes with a wired on so its worth the price.

Just in case it matters to anyone:
I was trying to decide between the 55" x85 or smaller x83, wanted the smaller one but found out the x83 will not be getting the HDR update. Neither has local dimming so it mightnt matter that much though

You are wrong. The Sony X80 as well as the Samsung and LG TVs at this price point are all 50Hz screens.
The Sony X83 and up all have 100Hz screens.
When I was looking at these sets I found that the Sony and Panasonic functioned much the same but the Sony had better upscaling

Have to disagree. Down to opinions, but for me the Sony is a better panel than the Panasonic CX700 particularly when watching fast moving sport.

Don't forget most importantly there is 10% off all TVS in Currys atm

Oh and motion is great..... CX700 is native 100 frames per second then uses backlight control to create 800Hz while Sony’s number is larger but the performance is not better. It's a 50 frame per second panel and the rest is backlight control.
If you get the chance... Watch the same clip on both tv's... You'll see the difference :smiley:

PANASONIC CX700 is so much better!!!
Returned this tv due its complicated android platform and no 3D function (I actually watch alot in 3D so very important)
The build is very plasticity compared to panasonics solid built tvs which isint a rebaged tv and lastly its uses firefox which is alot more easier to navigate!

Why did you buy it if you knew it had no 3D??
I was looking at the Panasonic but motion suffers so no good for sports.

Says £350 on the website. You're correct, I clicked the wireless one by mistake.

For some reason anyway the deal is getting cold voted which is ridiculous considering the soundbar is worth £350 and the tv alone is worth £800+ and you get both for £749. Wow! Then you get people putting deals up and getting 4K heat for a deal that isn't even there.

4k isn't 4x the resolution of HD, it is 4x the detail ie the number of pixels on the screen!

I know it's not, but that's in the details in specification and it didn't pop up when the URL was put in, this has just come on their Christmas deals.
