hardware crippled by bad software
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sony blew it! this tv is the hardest one to setup ever. pictures were choppy on both satellite and ota. my $180 hisense roku tv was far easier to set up and adjust. sony should have used roku instead of google. i adjusted picture and yet nothing took effect. i shut the so-called faetures but it made no difference. i also took the advice of apreviuos poster and did not enable any google functions. google wants to sell you personal data to advertiserds, so enable their apps means you will get hit with tons of ads, more so after each " upgrade". i relied on my previous phone and computer experience and did a rest/reboot after shutting off all of the non-essential picture functions that sony added to this set. that helped a great deal. other than atsc 3.0, this tuner is less capable of picking up ota signals than m y $180 hisense tv is. i owned sony tvs, vcrs, 8mm recorders, and camcorders back in the 80s and 90s, and beginning of this century , so i can say that this tv is a major downgrade from what they used to sell. going with google instead of roku was ahuge error in judgement and it's too bad this tv is handicapped by the bad decision to use this software. i can praise best buy as a regular customer of theirs, but if you are not tech oriented, either buy another brand, either fire tv or roku equipped, or ppay extra to get the geek squad to install and set up this tv for you. if you do it yourself, it will drive you crazy. under no circumstances would i encourage you to set up this tv with google instead of just using the basic setup. there is also some bloatware on it that you can uninstall ( simba tv, annoyimng notices, various gooogle apps) or just disable . that will free up more ram/rom to use on more essential functions.
