A: I spent several weeks researching 55" 4K Smart TVs orepping for Black Friday and the Sony XBR-810C was hands down the best TV available for under $1,000 (BB Black Friday price was $999). The main difference over the $999 55" Samsung (my #2 choice) is the PQ for watching movies in a darkened room and doing PC monitor duty. The Samsung 55" uses an IPS panel which gives wider viewing angles, but negatively impacts the ability to render true black. At best it gives a dark grey. Also, the Samsung cannot process 4K video from a PC. The Sony has neither of these issues and has a better overall PQ then the comparably priced Samsung.
Q: Voice Command Acceptance on 810C
A: Here is the problem, Sony uses the same software on all of its new sets from top teir to budget(like yours) The 810C as much as you wont want to hear is part of the budget/economy line of Sony. With that said while the android software is the same it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like the 850c and above have. That remote is one of them. The voice mode is part of the Android package by default because its the same android package like used on a phone or a tablet just made for TVs. Sony did not program any of it but did build a remote for it for the higher end sets. The Launcher that the TV uses is called "Android TV" and can be found on the google play store and used on any TV that has android and will have the same voice search feature as your sony even if the tv it was put on had not been intended for it. Think about new cars, a base model lets say doesn't have fog lights but instead has black caps in the bumper where they would go. The higher end trim package of the same car does have the fog lights. The base model will still usually have the wiring pinned up behind those caps for fog lights even though it did not come with them because they were using the same base model for every version.
A: This panel has a native re fresh rate of 120Hz anything higher than that is done with interpolation and back light manipulation no TV has a real 240Hz panel .
Q: How is the sound quality with this tv?
A: The tv sound was surprisingly good
Q: What are the dimensions of the TV stand?
A: Front of the stand is 22 in wide. Back of the stand is 26 in wide. The stand is 10 in deep holds the TV 1.5 in off of the ground.
A: You don't need to turn off anything, the Sony 810C handles all of that automatically. Also, the picture quality on the Sony in any resolution below 4K is better than my other native 1080 TVs. Finally, you can manually change refresh rates from 60hz to 120hz in the advanced picture settings screen.
Q: What kind of 3d glasses do I need?
A: Hi, Based upon the specifications of this unit, this is not a 3D TV. Therefore, 3D glasses are not supported. Dave
A: Yes, I have two altec Lansing speakers and a subwoofer plugged in and they work great. Go into audio settings to activate.
