    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    I’m playing with my Sony this morning and finding that Sony TVs don’t offer frame rate matching? Or at least cannot show actual source or display frame rate? This is a living room TV so I don’t care, but I’m helping a friend with TV setup problems on his Sony OLED TV and checking whether frame...

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    Anyone know if Apple Music app is coming for Sony TVs? It came out for my LG LCD. Now that I’ve got a modern AVR connected to my 2020 Sony 950H, it’s great. I can watch 4K on the Sony app and use eARC to send audio to the receiver (pending upgrading to a 4K streaming box). eARC so far works...

    And the light came back on. I covered it with electrical tape. Weird bug with Sony TV, insists on the microphone-alert light always being on. Great TV otherwise

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    FYI for you 2020 Sony owners: The front LED came on the past couple weeks. I spent an hour trying to turn it off per Sony support manual. That didn’t work. (In fact, Sony’s design is perverse: LED is on to tell you MIC is off. That’s up there in stupid design.) Then I found this. And it worked...

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    Hoping it works. I intend to use the TV's apps for 4K content, and want 5.1 sound out to the receiver. At least in the short term, that will save me $200 not having to buy a 4K AppleTV.

    My receiver is like 10+ years old. So probably not. And it sounds like ARC only does stereo, not 5.1.

    Looks like I'll need a new receiver too https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/any-way-to-get-tvs-arc-audio-out-via-hdmi-to-receiver-w-o-arc.346798/ https://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-audio-return-channel-and-earc-for-beginners/

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    I don't know if this is a TV or AVR question... Will eARC from a Sony send audio to my pre-4K, pre-eARC receiver? Or do I also have to buy a new receiver if I plan to use internal streaming apps and want audio sent to a surround system.

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    How does the Sony 65A8H compare to LG a and Samsung OLEDs? I’ve not seen it recommended against other OLEDs, but maybe for $1800 it’s a great buy. I’m too late for this sale, but if it drops again I can be ready.

    I can’t tell what’s going on in that photo. Is there a TV floating in front of another tv? Any other pics of the mount? My brain can’t process the geometry there. :)

    I'm interested too in any updates/improvements in Sony's smart-TV software. :)

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    Did some spreadsheetery and have high confidence the 65" 950H will fit on my existing wall mount, and in the current space and electronics hutch with center speak placement. (Which is great. I've got a beefy, adjustable Monoprice wall mount I bought for my Kuro circa 2009. It's mounted on a...

    Sony 2020 TV line-up, with surprise news

    Thanks for the info! I’m thinking seriously of blind-buying the 65” X950H. The G is highly reviewed and recommended and I’ve come close to buying it. I’m assuming the 2020 models will be equally well reviewed. If there are pre-order or launch day sales pricing, I’m interested!
