Does anyone that has this TV have any comment on the menu speed etc? Picture on my current TV is great but pushing the buttons on the remote and the menus loading is chronically slow.

Just saying.... we had a 65" Sony Bravia. It lasted 15 months - thank god for John Lewis's Warranty - anyway - this is not my point - that was just luck of the drawer - my point is the picture! We returned our TV for a refund as JL didnt have anything comparable -
....so we bought a Samsung - and wow, wow, wow! Seriously - I will never buy a Sony TV again - people aren't kidding when they say Samsung make the best screens. Its a million miles away from the Sony - one example (and I've got many, I never shut up about the Samsung) we watched Taken on blu-ray on the Samsung and it looked like it was filmed yesterday as opposed to all bitty and very digital looking on the Sony (you can see all the dots especially in darker scenes) where as on the Samsung it was like watching it for the first time all over again. I cannot stress how much better the picture (any picture) is on the Samsung compared to the Sony. Watching something more upto date (like Trolls for the millionth time) the picture is so amazing it draws you in, and somethings look real it spins you out a little to start with.
I just thought i'd share that before you spend your hard earned cash on a Sony! I for one have never been so happy our Sony broke and was beyond economical repair, and that we used the money to buy a Samsung.
How long have you had the Samsung it sounds amazing! Which model is it. And which sony was it, so i can stay clear?

It was the Sony Bravia KD65S8505 Curved LED 4K Ultra HD from John Lewis. The TV we have now is the Samsung UE65KS8000 65" 4K HDR S-Ultra-HD (Quantum Dot).
The differences are simply amazing. Even when streaming old films that have been re-done in HD never mind on blu-ray (like Matilda on Netflix) and when streaming from Google Play; the picture is simply amazing. The depth and colours is like nothing I've ever seen.
On the Sony they look pixelated, and were ruined by lots of dots everywhere (obviously the technique they use to make an old film into HD) but with the Samsung the images is as sharp, crisp and clear as if they were film in HD yesterday. We haven't even tried anything in 4K yet
I believe the Samsung is now discontinued (it was £1,499 from Sonic Direct - I didn't expect to have to buy another TV so soon after buying the Sony - I simply wanted the same features for the same money as John Lewis did us over a little bit [the Sony was £2,199, they price matched - great - and had a £250 TV Trade in offer, in the end we were a 37" TV down and only got £1,499 refund - so we essentially gave away our old tv) but when we come to upgrade it will be Samsung for us all the way.
