Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I wish they start selling TVs for just the screen without the smart TV junk software or any speakers either. Total waste of engineering tying technology with 10 yrs lifespan (TV screen) with technology having just 1-2 yrs of useful life (Roku, Chromecast).

It's the Sony 55 A80J... The C stands for the Costco exclusive model...

FWIW Amazon has it for $999... Could see a PM...
The C does stand for Costco, it is the European version that has a physical microphone disconnect switch due to European privacy laws. The "non C" ones like the A80J do not have that switch.

I know, right?

Give me a dumb monitor. I'll change the parts like a Roku stick that go obsolete in a couple years, instead of leaving vestigial and useless software, making things clunky at best, and and if IOT, much worse, gaping and neglected security flaws for the remaining life of the product.

This happens nowadays on everything from TVs to trucks to toasters to thermostats. It's the convenience versus security paradigm, and manufacturers aren't letting the consumer decide, it's almost impossible to find a non smart anything nowadays.

My dryer sheets insist on getting on my wifi to soften and dewrinkle my clothes properly.

Hyperbole, but you know what I'm saying.

well this SONY has some pretty decent sound technology, coming through the screen. I found it sufficient for most media until my new Soundbar arrives. Google TV seems to be gaining ground and no sign of quitting. I'm a huge ROKU fan but the only thing I miss is the Top Menu Input since I use external boxes. GTV is also missing native Directv Stream app but works as good as any Chromecast box.

Unlike my Vizio from long ago that completely abandoned the Via or whatever. Most of us have an assortment of external boxes just waiting for the right TV, this one handles my old Nvidia Shield like a pro. It's nice to just say "hey google, turn off Sony"

I can't complain too much since I got my 65" for $920ish on Prime Day. Smilie

The feature is already available on Chromecast with Google TV and coming to smart TVs soon. The company has also made under-the-hood tweaks that should reduce the number of errors users see when attempting to install new apps. Lastly, there's a new automated process that will free up space on your device so that you can install more apps https://www.engadget.com/google-t...10741.html

I love at night when a movie cuts to black and the TV looks like it's disappeared in the room...
My 75" 900e does that.

So my 2015 Samsung had built in apps..was fast…worked great. Until twitch decided to stop supporting it and it then stopped working on it. Then Disney only did 1080p and not 4k for some weird reason… agreed. Just take this stuff out and lower the price of the tv ! My 4k Firestick is leagues faster and gets updated .

Costco in Rancho Cordova, CA had 4 of these at $899. I'm sure once it gets to the floor model they will slash it a bit more.

Hey guys, is there an OLED TV that is good for bright sunny room and at night? Are LG's better in this regard?

According to Rtings review:
CONS
OLEDs are prone to permanent burn-in.
Doesn't get bright enough to fight intense glare.
The best you can hope for is the Samsung S95B or the Sony A95K

OLED floor models are not worth it due to them being left on for hours and hours thereby degrading the organic compound

great TV, once I got used to it. I love ROKU but nice to have both. Google is today announcing a new update for the Chromecast with Google TV and other Google TV devices that will address the two core problems with the Chromecast and the platform as a whole – storage and performance. Not that the Bravia core needs help, TV if fast. https://9to5google.com/2022/08/22...ge-update/
All that extra focus at Google paying off.

Though if it's a steep discount, def worth it. The burn in isn't THAT noticeable, especially if it's not your

Ex one of my 2 open box Best Buy's are still going strong and works perfectly for 99% of tv/movie watching. Bought it with LG burned in 5/2018 for $735 open box floor + $189 5 yr warranty that covered burn in.
