Slightly better processor than the 5500 with 400 PQI on this.

I'm interested in this tv, can anyone confirm if it has headphone socket as can't see it mentioned?

Yes, headphone socket and digital out which are independent of each other, so you can have a set of wireless headphones plugged into the headphone socket and a soundbar/amp on the digital out both working at the same time.

Trying to decide between this and a Sony 43" with Android. Might go and have a look in Currys

Go my Mum the 5500 for Christmas. An excellent TV. It was set up within minutes and looks superb. HD is very good but the suprise was the upscaling of SD Sky Channels which was excellent. The smart hub is also pretty good. This set should be marginally better with its 400 v 300 PQI.

Sony KDL-43W807C, I ordered it on the Amazon lightning deal last week for a similar price to this but used no rush delivery as I was away. Not got it yet but trying to work out if I've made the right choice or to send it back, these tv's are getting such varying user reviews about the Android software

Is it 50Hz or 100Hz?
Not interested in PQI nonsense. I switch that computer processing rubbish off. Just need the real Hz number.

I bought one of these at the weekend. Lovely picture and sound. smart tv is very good and good connectivity. You can even control your fire tv through the remote. Easy to setup aswell. :smile:

I've got the Sony 43W756C, which is the non-3D version of what you have ordered. It's nicely made with the metal frame and stand and the picture quality is great. Did look at the Samsung 5500 but needed 4 HDMIs and didn't like the plastic stand.
Can confirm that most of the stories about Android TV are true, and I have two main issues with mine: it becomes really sluggish after a few days, requiring a full re-boot, and lip-sync isn't great on the HD channels. The software update allowing it to record to USB has also been pushed back to March 2016. Unfortunately the slowdowns don't just affect the 'Smart' aspects of it - Android is so heavily ingrained that just changing volume or channel can take ages. Currently deciding whether to send it back, but there are very few options at 43 inches. Think the issues are worse on the 4K sets from what I can gather.
