Its impossible to use it, dont waste your money.

I had a Samsung QE55Q77TAU of the 20th year. Very successful model, almost without minuses. I wanted a slightly larger diagonal and support for Dolby Vision. I thought about buying LG, but I've seen enough reviews that LG allegedly has no brightness, that HDR is muddy on them, and everyone enthusiastically splashes on the screen about Sony. They talk about 10 bits, about the "cognitive processor" and so on. What turned out: 10 bits in the 21st year were NOT SET on more than one Sony TV in the entire model range. Only 8. Moreover, on this model, the matrix is ​​\u200b\u200bmost bad. You can watch if your gaze is directed strictly perpendicular to the center of the screen. On the couch, you move a little to the side or lean back and the picture turns white. Plus shading in the corners. On Samsung, one diode tape from below illuminates the screen more evenly. Apparently, because of a bad matrix, they made up all these "cognitive" crutches in order to squeeze out the maximum of the IMPOSSIBLE by program methods. Therefore, if you turn off all auto-settings, nothing can be done by hand. I experimented for a week, eventually turned on the "Standard" auto-preset. With its auto-brightness and auto-dimming. Presets like "Film" or "IMax" are generally something creepy and yellow. The "Graphics" preset is described as a setting for use as a monitor, but like the Game preset, it will burn your eyes in a couple of days. Everyone says that Sony does not have PWM. At the factory settings, it IS and it's terrible. Because for smoothness there is an insertion of a black frame. That is the same flicker. Good thing you can turn it off. And then the PWM becomes noticeable only through the camera. Here yes, Samsung minus. Before Samsung, I had a Philips, bought 15 years ago. And on it the picture could be gently adjusted for yourself without automation, just like on the Samsung of the 20th year. (In the 21st, Samsungs also became terrible) In general, all high-quality TV is a thing of the past. Samsung stopped putting 10 bits in the 20th, Sony in the 21st. And both brands began to think more about what to save on, and not about quality. Apparently a couple more years and either buy a TV set for a lemon, or stare at a muddy screen. Sadness.

Pros
  • The metal feet fit securely into the case in two versions. One remote control. The remote takes control of that device. which is currently on the screen.
Cons
  • Worst 8 bit matrix ever. Not 10, as the purchased bloggers describe. With no viewing angles! 50 cm left, right, up, down from the center of the screen and the picture turns white. I only remember this in LCD monitors from the early 2022s. If you don’t know what Direct Led is here, then you’ll think that there is one lamp in the center, since all 4 corners are decently darkened and you can see it all the time. It is impossible to set up "by hand" without the use of automation. The backlight shines like an infernal spotlight and you can look normally, without the risk of burning your eyes, only in a brightly lit room. In a normal environment, only auto-brightness, auto-dimming, auto-contrast will help. There are no other options. The "smoothness" of the picture out of the box comes with wild jerks. You can adjust it softly, but with a bunch of artifacts and soap along the contours of objects. It doesn't depend on the quality of the video anymore. "Local dimming" in dark scenes with bright objects creates an eerie glow. It is especially infuriating if there is an inscription on a dark background, and around it you see light large rectangles. But this is one of the crutches to somehow improve the performance of the matrix. It's even worse without him. The remote control is the most uncomfortable I have ever seen. The buttons are "liquid", small, but at the same time they have a deep stroke and, accordingly, backlash in all directions. The body plastic is the most "economy" - thin and weightless. The hyped sound is actually a complete hat. However, I didn't expect anything else. I use normal speakers. But I'm sure that this "sound" also added numbers to the price tag. Sony TVs no longer have either Miracast or Screen Mirroring. Only Air Play and the wildly stupid Wi-Fi Direct option, which turns off the Internet when it is turned on. Therefore, it is no longer possible to broadcast the screen of a Windows PC or tablet using built-in tools. (On Samsung it is possible). Apparently, for the sake of increasing profits, Sony reduce the cost of everything on what is possible, presenting it as a breakthrough technology. But the price is torn as for high-quality models of 2022 and 2022. On the right course to the complete loss of the fan base and bankruptcy! Keep it up Sony!
