    No Vizio or Samsung.

    I got a Sony and I’m glad I did. It seems to do what a smart TV should do. The apps I use are first, the shows I’m watching are suggested. It works seamlessly over HDMI with all my other hardware (sound bar, Blu-ray, consoles). They took the beautiful LG OLED display and made it look even better. It has a super minimalistic style, the android OS is unobtrusive, and the remote feels nice in the hand.

      I just replaced a 3 year old bravia and it was hands down the worst TV I’ve ever owned. I hope you have better luck. I’ll never buy Sony again.

      My Samsung is the best TV I’ve ever owned. Incredible image. Exceptionally low input lag, tested against my CRT.

      Obviously I have it totally locked down as far as web access is concerned. It’s for all intents and purposes, a dumb TV now.

        unless it connects to open wifi networks automatically like some samsung tvs were doing a while ago lol. realistically its probably not doing that but it doesnt make me trust them, thats for sure.

      Just don’t buy something from Sony with promised features. Took 14 months for Sony to delivery the VRR feature update to my Sony TV. I’m surprised it came at all.

        In the case of Sony TV’s running android they’re exactly the same as all the rest except the hardware is too garbage to even run the OS and ends up being trash.
