Pricing: If you have to ask, then you can't afford it

Is making smaller OLED (in the 30s inches) a huge challenge?

I am desperately trying to remember the name of that late 70's early 80's kids show with Patsy Kensit, that had the same production values to it's fake backgrounds and music. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

no it's very easy but that market segment is not as profitable

one of the advantages of the Sony is that is has one of the nicest Full Arrays. the array is also color compensated so you do not get excess HF light or reduced brightness but at this price range most manufacturers have leet sets

"Luna" and "The Adventures of Pollyanna"?

That was it! Terrible production values, and, crazy compositing with fake rear-projections

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patsy_Kensit Huh, now I'm wondering if she was slyly being referenced in Jessica Jones by the character Patsy. I even see a physical resemblance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachael_Taylor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patsy_Walker#Television

Dayum, I forgot she was naked in Lethal Weapon 2

1. No DTS via USB 2. No conversion of movies to 120FPS 3. No added brightness 4.there are no real improvements to the movies 5. NO bt 2020 6.NO 12 bit 7.NO DP 2.0 or 1.4 very disappointed with Sony doing minimum

1 - can't confirm that until hands on. The TV definitely supports DTS-X as it's mentioned with the IMAX Enhanced blurb. 2 - What do you think motionflow is doing? 3 - It specifically says that the A90 has increased brightness output with processing and cooling responsible for the same 4 - What improvement do you want? I'd like pixel mapped 4k UHD HDR content displayed as intended, personally 5 - BT2020 isn't a "thing" it's a futuristic specification of colour coverage. So the display will cover a percentage of DCI-P3 (Cinema Standard) or BT2020 (HDR Standard). So every HDR display "supports" a level of coverage of both. I see no reporting to make any comparisons yet. Again, you've got to assume at least parity or indeed higher coverage if the actual contrast is improved as that facilitates a broader range inherently. 6 - Dolby Vision is 12 bit. I see no reason to assume the panel isn't capable. It's not like Sony make the panels themselves Given the same supporting chipset is used in their new commercial MicroLED displays, and support 22bit gradient upscaling, I think it's safe to assume parity at least with other manufacturers here. 7 - What Consumer TV supports displayport, again? You do realise Sony OLED displays capable of relatively high nits output, compared to consumer models, are used for colour grading? I was at technicolor in 2017 and they had a ridiculously expensive tiny Sony OLED they were using for HDR grading for Netflix et al. If *anyone* has demonstrable experience doing color accurate, high coverage, elevated peak brightness OLED displays it's Sony. The bare minimum was everyone catching up with LG, and actually supporting HDMI 2.1 properly. Specifically 4k/120hz/4:4:4/HDR and VRR. Which this does, albeit the VRR seemingly with a firmware update post paper launch. Everything else will have to wait for actual reviews, but very little of your list is actually accurate based on what's announced. I held fire on the LG CX because of the VRR gamut issue, and these models actually interest me (I always thought Sony had the best motion interpolation, nothing I've seen elsewhere has come close) so as long as the rest matches up, combined with their Bravia streaming 80mbs thing, this is now head of the queue for me. Will see after CES, and some hands on, I guess.

I want one, but without the G-Spyware Suite installed. If we can flash remove all of it, I would consider one as a future monitor/TV.

What the heck is G-Spyware Suite?

actually patsy walker goes back to the 1960's in an old girls comic called "Millie the Model"

Google crap...

I am against having google on a frickin' teevee myself, just as I was against the 'must be connected to the internet' 'feature' of the xboxone. No...

actually, android tvs (Sony is an android tv) are the only tvs able to update and DL streaming apps on a regular basis. otherwise you get stuck in proprietary-land of browsers and search engines unable to update and requiring 3rd party (chromecast, roku, firetv, blu ray players) dongles or equipment to go to newer platforms (like Disney+ last year).

For me, I will choose to install the HW/SW stream of my choice, such as a managed mobile phone or PC or etc... on "Paranoid" TM mode of my choice and a few thousand USD off. Sony just needs to make the device into a monitor format. They can add a OTA tuner as a basic but that it.

After the X900H/X90H VRR/ALLM fiasco, thanks but no thanks Sony!
