Android os is the best os for TV's. It's clean easy to use every app is available to download. No adds other than "google recommendations" for tv shows / movies to rent on the play store, but you can move that section to the very bottom of the list so you never have to see it.

The reason it gets a bad wrap is because it isn't designed for budget TVs. The OS is a memory hog. Which all of these budget TVs don't have the on board ram to keep up with it and it results in the Home Screen lagging and pausing and every once in a while freezing and needing reset the TV.

Once you're in an app like Netflix or hbo there is no freezing. It's just the Home Screen. People flip over it because they buy these $300 TVs and expect them to work like the $2300 version.

I have the 65 in hisense that I got for $250 a few years back and while the tv studders every once in awhile (3 times a month or so) I've only had it completely freeze once.

I like the os feel and experience it gives.

I don't find it bad at all. You can always just get a Roku stick and plug it in and use that?
·
You get what you pay for, it's the buyers choice to choose the cheapest hardware to run the most powerful OS and have it seem lacking in performance, or buy better hardware like a nvidia shield or a tv with better specs to run it properly.

Manufacturers are delivering lowest cost and higher cost options, they are not in control of your choice on this matter.

So the cheap buyers are to blame for the problems....not Google for allowing its full bloat software to be used in an inappropriate environment nor the TV maker choosing said software knowing the memory level is questionable? OK...........

Does anything reasonably priced have blacks that compare to plasma yet? Or is that still just with very expensive OLEDs still. My 2014 plasma is starting to get burn in, but I really don't want to downgrade to an LED display with bad blacks.
If you get a tv with a full array backlight and a lot of dimming zones, the blacks are pretty good if you use the local dimming feature on the TVs. That can cause some other issues like blooming but you'll be surprised on how good they can be. I still have 2 plasma TVs in my house and they're moved to spare rooms where they hardly get used anymore.

The upgrade to a 10 bit panel and bright enough for proper HDR will be a welcome improvement over your old plasma.

I have this TV, Android OS runs great on it. It does have other issues with software though. Seems like every update they have breaks something. Last one broke HDR and 120Hz for consoles (and some other things), they fixed that with current update and broke the sound for people using ARC/eARC/Optical. I still think it's a fantastic TV, though I think I paid <$650 and it came with a $250 BB GC, so at that price it was almost unbeatable.

I have one of these TVs. It has very good Black Levels really close to OLED Levels. The picture is amazing but the OS sadly really bad if you try to use the Smart Apps. But if you use a Roku or something it works fine. For the price it is a great low end TV with high end features

Another deal just got posted with 65 @ $800 & some people are saying BB is price matching it - at least up to this point.

This has good blacks via local dimming but it's QLED not OLED. You'll still see some blooming around white text on black backgrounds if you keep the backlight & brightness too high.

LG C1 55" is down to $1000, so if you want perfection it's getting cheaper…

I was in the same boat. After having only plasmas for 15 years, all led blacks look gray. I just had to wait for a good sale and grab an oled. I'm not disappointed, but damn they are pricey.

Android is not bad,,, it's probably one of the best TV OS BUT it requires a fairly decent processor. Something most TV lack
Even upper-tier TVs have a hard time handling the OS.
To anyone claiming that they hate Android .I would advise them to try it with Nvidia Shield or an external streamer.

Why would you prefer to buy from BB instead of Amazon? Genuinely curious.

I have the u9dg and an oled and I prefer the hisense after calibrating (similar blacks but better brightness-also burn in peace of mind)
