A:AnswerYes, I would still source an external system. The sound is better than TVs in the past, but it's not stellar. I recommend a sound bar or 5.1 system.
A:AnswerHi Calo,
Thank you so much for your inquiry. If your M1 Mac Mini supports 4K 120Hz, we recommend connecting it to the HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 input of the TV. Then make sure that you are using Ultra High-Speed HDMI™ Cable that supports 48 Gbps to display 4K 120 Hz.
Once connected, follow the steps below:
• Go to Settings → Watching TV → External inputs → HDMI signal format.
• Select the input the device is connected to (either HDMI 3 or HDMI 4) and then change the setting to Enhanced format.

A:Answer16 to 18 feet is a bit far away for a 55". I would upgrade to at least a 65" for that distance. It's recommended the distance be 3 times the size of the screen.
A:AnswerIt sounds like you would want to change your picture settings to "Vivid". That will give you the picture where colors will pop out the most if that is indeed the picture quality that you desire. There are also many YouTube color calibration videos for the different kinds of OLED TVs. Depending on your taste, I'm confident you can customize your picture quality to you liking with this premium Sony Bravia OLED TV.
A:AnswerHi Yummie19, thanks for your inquiry. Yes. You can use your headphones to listen to YouTube Music & DVD Concerts. You can connect to the headphone jack (supports a 3-pole stereo mini-jack only) or via Bluetooth to listen to sound from the TV. I hope this helps. Erin
A:AnswerThe existing legs ARE adjustable (even though many don’t realize it) to 3 different widths with solid stability. With this flexibility, it can be placed on a smaller to larger width credenza based on your existing or new decor. The adjustment that allows the legs to be closest to each other blends almost to give the appearance there is zero space below the TV and table - especially if it is black.
A:AnswerHi Sonypony, thank you for your inquiry. Depending on the environment there are several recommendations. We'd recommend the ST5000 Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatibility. This soundbar was designed to deliver an immersive, cinematic audio experience at home with three-dimensional surround sound, the Z9F with Z9R wireless rears. With max 7.1.2 surround sound and our Vertical Surround Engine technology, you can enjoy the latest 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – with virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you or the HTG700, this Dolby Atmos®️ soundbar even features a dedicated center speaker for clearer dialog. All 3 of these options are Dolby Atmos capable with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) and would work great with any console. I hope this helps. Regards, Erin
A:AnswerHi dscott1000, thank you for your inquiry. The TV stand in soundbar position measures 40 7/8 inches and a height difference of 2 7/8 inches. I hope this helps. Regards, Erin
A:AnswerThe a80j is a year older and there is a bump in processing power and some improvements to features. Not worth an extra grand in my opinion, unless you want the creme de la creme
A:AnswerOur SOny OLED does have some glare from our lamps. I have it on a table-top stand so I can adjust it. I don't know abut LG OLEDs, but it is a little more noticeable than on our older, smaller LG LED.
A:AnswerHi TVChoices, thanks for your inquiry. Yes. You can choose whether or not to update the OS of your TV. You can set to OFF the Automatically check for updates setting if you wish to perform the update on a later time. However, software updates keep your TV up to date with the latest content, provide programming changes, and enhance your overall viewing experience. It is recommended to download the update once available. I hope this helps. Regards, Erin
