eg.... 2018 X900F it was manufactured from 2018 to 2020!!
First, I watch over the air TV and my last few TVs have been Roku based. The Bravia 8 can not pause live TV, and it was a complete shock to me that new TVs exist that can't do what every $100 Onn or other cheap Roku-based TV has been able to do for a decade.
Second, the Google TV OS that I was happy to get struggles with two apps I've tried, Fan Duel Sports (needed for Cavs games) and Tablo (the dang hardware/app I added to fix the stupid lack of OTA TV pause). The Fan Duel app gets choppy after a while, low frame rate. The Tablo app will not pause 1080i main broadcast channels properly, only 480 subchannels.
If these things don't matter to you, it's a great TV otherwise. Not sure how similar the A75L is or if these issues would be similar, my guess is that the 2025 XR8B might have the same problems as a Bravia 8. It's beautiful though, I like the remote, and integration with a nice Sony soundbar is excellent. It just do everything I want it do, and expected it to do, without additional hardware, which seems downright silly.
