I fully expect this to go cold, but thought it could help someone out. For a 75" TV from a reputable brand there doesn't seem to be too much that's better.

Cold. Usually offered around that price anyway (pricespy). Also, AVForums owners thread is full of owners complaining about clouding, and DSE issues

As far as I know, almost all LED/LCD panels inherent above issue but OLED LG panels are far too expensive at the moment. LG can step up and they can give Sony and other companies very tough time by reducing the price of OLED panels.

Tat unless it has a glass screen to protect it and stop it bending all over the place......

1080p on a 75-inch screen. Usually I'm not a resolution snob but not really sure about this one.

It all depends on the size of the room and the distance you sit from the TV.

75" @ 1080p would be a crazy thing to buy. There might not be much 4k content out there yet but you'd be nuts to buy such a massive tele without the capability.
I just installed the 4k version of this TV and it's very nice; despite everyone whinging about Android in other Sony TV threads I think the menus and apps are great and it certainly compares well with LG/Samsung.
It's BIG though. Far too big for all but the most cavernous of rooms.

high end £10k JVC projectors are 1080p and people beam them onto 150 inch screens. barely any content even has 4k details and nothing has HDR. every big tv thread has a bunch of ignorance. My JVC beams onto a 120 inch and I sit 8 feet away

I agree with you.
I own a 720p projector + 81" screen, which I bought for £1200, in 2006.
BUT, if I were paying £2k, in 2016, I'd expect OLED. No ifs. No buts.
LCD tech isn't good enough to ask a customer to pay £2k for.
Ive voted cold, because I can buy a slightly smaller OLED TV, for the same price.

High end JVC projectors pretend to do 4k with their "e-shift" stuff. Regardless, modern 4k teles are surprisingly good at upscaling, although in my limited experience of ludicrously big screens the Samsungs appear to have got this down better than Sony has.
Granted the 4k model appears to be about 5 grand at most retailers. So if you really must have a massive TV this might be an ok deal.

But why ruin a great brand with Android rubbish?!

Agreed, it'd be nicer to be able to remove the android from it. Would work smoother when doing the most basic of tasks without being overrun with options for example when switching to Apple TV/ps4 etc.

I bought this for slightly more from richer sounds back in Nov and I find the picture great when using 1080p, Sky HD is also fine and doesnt look over processed like on some 4k TVs. Don't listen to the naysayers about needing 4k, standard def obviously isn't great at this size and I made my decision based on the lack of 4k content. Just be extra sure you have the space for it!

Prices tend to go up exponentially with screen size.
A 77" OLED would cost you between £20 and £25k. (Although this years model may be as low as £10k.)
