Seems a good price for the 65inch Sony 4k HDR android tv, 2016 model?

specialoffers is slightly wrong.
10 bit doesn't mean 1000 nits, 10 bit is the amount of colours a pixel can display. NITs are the measurement of brightness.
The higher the NITs the better the HDR will be. Samsung advertise this as the HDR Premium range, and some LG OLEDs also carry this branding.
Back to HDR though, (and I know this now after being stung buying a HDR compatible TV and not a proper 10bit panel) 8 BIT means the TV can show 16.7 million colours, 10 BIT means the TV will show up to 1.07 billion, a huge difference.
Alot if TVs have been getting away with advertising HDR on their TVs even when all it means is that they are HDR compatible, or, can receive a full HDR10 signal and process it.
If you are going to drop a serious amount on a TV and want the very best, make sure to look for full HDR10 capability, not just compatibility. And try and get the brightest NITs you can.
From research i have done after being stung, it seems the best entry level is the KS7000 series from Samsung. They have the full HDR10 and 1000 NITs of brightness.
Hope that helps some :smiley:

If you don't need a 65" I'd highly recommend paying £40 more for the 55" XD93, its a far superior TV:
£50 more at costco if you want the 5 year warranty

For me, anything that doesn't have ambilight is inferior. So I guess Philips it is!

10 Bit or 8 Bit?

Any 2016/2017 model that advertises HDR support has 10-bit processing (which is the vital bit).
This isn't a TV to buy for HDR though, I'm not sure about this larger XD75 specifically but the smaller XD70 isn't even wide gamut. It's effectively a non-HDR TV from an output perspective. You need the XD80+ for wide gamut, and the XD93+ for backlight control.
Good job this is a 2016 model then.

8 bit, support 10 bit signals. such a xbox s,or ps4 pro, but not 10 bit panel , 10 bit panel is 1000 nits, and 10 bit is 1billion colors ,8 bits is 16million colors, and this tv xd700 Series i have XD800 series which is perfect,even if it is 8 bit. it is cheap for 65 inch sony if you want just take it,or buy PANASONIC VIERA TX-65DX902B 10 bit panel for £ 2299 :smiley:

Not "true" 10 bit, it's 8-bit plus FRC (Frame Rate Control)

Have to admit that I don't get on with the UI on these. Just not quite refined yet.
